HOW WELL WILL AMERICA EAT IN 1975 
asks the scientist? The answer is—How well will America 
put her “‘hill soil’? to work. Don’t let the 1953 surpluses 
disturb you. Our agric’lly abused soils will suddenly 
leave us in the lurch. Then what will we eat? Plant 
“Tree Crops”? now and have them bearing when slacked 
off ‘‘plow production’ crosses with 20 million extra 
mouths to feed. Think it over and write me about 10 or 
100 acres of chestnuts. 
Let us continue to serve you. Thanks for your many 
good wishes and the same to you. 
Can a farmer continue if he only conserved his cows, 
chickens and seed? Conservation is negative. 
Nature is positive—a creator and re-creator—producer 
and re-producer. Recently Congress voted a medal to 
Irvin Berlin for a ditty on how wonderful it was to live 
on America’s un-earned bounty. I say let ’em vote medals 
for those who “‘lead in the renewing of God’s bounty”, 
soil, water and trees. Pay a bounty for ‘“‘doing’’ instead 
of chattering about ‘‘enjoying what we took’. Make 
your slogan ‘‘BETTER THINGS FOR BETTER LIV- 
ING THRU LIVING THINGS.” Let’s go America. 
THE HERSHEY WAY. This folks is the starting at the 
beginning of—growing our trees in proper soil, organically 
managed. Then selection of seed for understock and 
scions to graft with. 
Take advantage of quick production by setting our large 
healthy trees organically grown. It’ll help you get rich 
without plowing. Here, on America’s No. 1 Tree Crop 
farm, we find 8-10 ft. trees 5 yrs. ahead of small trees in 
3 yrs. 
Organically grown—There’s no stuttering and no altern- 
ative. (For the Best You Must Plant The Best). Organ- 
ically grown trees proved their worth as never before in 
droughts. Few die for customers. 
NEXT STEP—We cut the tops—the branches—in 
short ‘‘the brush’’ off them to balance with the roots 
sheared off in digging, to give them a chance to start 
for you. Then dip in a costly wax to keep them from 
drying out until started. 
All these things—plus our 30 years of experience in 
progeny testing makes just one place to buy better nut 
trees. That’s here. 
PLEASE NOTE: That crook in the stem of the tree is the 
“Hall Mark”’ of quality. If it isn’t there, your tree isn’t 
grafted.
