FEAR EXTINCTION OF HOLLY Botanists Say That Within Another Generation it May Be as Rare as the Mistletoe. Christmas holly, that merriest and most beloved of all growing bushes, is threatened with extinction, according to a warning sounded by lovers of a red Christmas. Once growing pro fusely in southern New Jersey and Maryland, it has been swept from those states by the ruthless cutters for the city markets, and must now be sought in the swamps of Virginia, and North Carolina, where already the supply is growing less bountiful each year. The Gulf states have been sim ilarly shorn to provide holly for New Orleans, St. Louis and Chicago. Within another generation, botan ists say, holly will be as rare as mistle toe, which used to grow in abundance on the Atlantic seaboard as far north as Raritan bay, but lias now practi cally ceased to exist as a Christmas dec oration.

Fifty million horsepower comprises the total, both steam and water power generated, now in use in the United States. It is conservatively estimated that as much more can be developed by utilization of the water power re sources. The Department of the In terior iias placed the potential water power at 60,000,000 horsepower, of which but 10,000, now developed.

NUT-BEARING TREES WILL YIELD COMFORTABLE PROFIT TO FARMER These Butternut Trees Will Furnish Delight to Eye and Palate for Many Years. (Prepared by (be United Stales Depart ment of Agriculture.) They were gathered about I lie farm house fire in the mellow light of a swing lamp, and the head of the house sent liis youngest son to t lie) garret for butternuts. A little later, with an iron lapstone on his knees and hammer in hand, lie was produc ing a rhythmic rap-rap-rap-crack— clink, as the crinkly brown shells split open and were tossed into a basin, ex posing their delicately flavored twin meats. “This is tlie last crop from that old tree,” lie remarked, thoughtfully, paus ing after a few minutes of fascinating labor. “Rotted out, and the wind got It last night. And I have gathered nuts from that tree since I was a little tike in short breeches.” The hammer rested for a few mo ments, and the lingers of (lie farmer's left hand ran meditatively through the pile of richly laden shells. “Fifty years,” he mused. “Fifty springs I've seen tlie green come out on the leaves; lifty falls I or my chil dren or grandchildren have picked up bushels of nuts; and fifty winters I’ve sat by the fire here and cracked them. That butternut tree has been a good old friend.” None to Take Its Place. Yet, with all the pleasure that he had obtained from that tree, the farm er, thrifty in nearly everything, had no new butternut trees coming up to take the place of the patriarch which the wind destroyed. It is only recently that serious at tention lias been paid to nut-trees planting. Landowners set out or chards and plant trees in dooryards and on tlie highways for shade; but nut-bearing trees, which usually re quire eight to fifteen years to come into bearing, have been in a measure neglected. There are a number of nut-beuring species, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, which grow as rapidly for shade as the maple or elm, anti which will yield pleasure and some revenue for a quar ter or half a century after the first few years of cultivation. The butternut is now being produced by nurserymen and grows further north than most other species.. But ternut trees will bear in about eight years and form an attractive yard or roadside ornament, especially in tlie northern states. More attention, however, is being paid to its relative, the black walnut. The late war made heavy inroads on the ranks of these fine old trees for gun-stocks, airplane parts, and other material; but nurserymen already had begun to grow’ young trees to make up the loss. Contrary to the common idea, the black walnut is not neces sarily a slow grower. Under good conditions of culture. It becomes one of our most rapid growing trees, es pecially of the more valuable woods. It has been known to bear a few nuts in six yoars. At fifteen to twenty five it is a heavy producer, and in old age it is. always a resource for timber. The chestnut, which has been an im portant resource for centuries, Is now one of the tragedies of freedom, due to the hark disease brought from Japan. The United States Depart ment of Agriculture and various nut culture associations are now work ing with some promise of success to develop varieties which are blight resistant. Until they arrive at estab lished results, it will probably not be wise to plant chestnuts in any sec tion where the bark disease is preva lent. The shagbark hickory makes a handsome shade tree, and quite a few varieties have been propagated. Shag barks generally come into bearing after fifteen or twenty-five years. A few hickory trees planted now would be a comfortable resource for another generation. The beech is a slow grower, and can scarcely be classed as a commercial nut, but is an attractive and homey tree where there is room for its spread. Beechnuts furnish dainties for an evening’s chat, or left on the ground in woods and pastures they furnish fattening material for pigs and turkeys. If the beech tree Is headed low, it offers less chance for defacing its smooth bark with Jack knife hieroglyphics. One other interesting nut tree Is the filbert, or European hazel. It Is one of our most tantalizing species, for while it can be made to grow in many parts of tlie North, no variety has yet been found to bear profitably east of the Rocky mountains, due to I lie fact that il flowers early and Is caught by frost. In the Pacific Northwest It bids fair to soon become an important nut. Pecan a Favorite. The pecan is easily the favorite and most important nut of American origin, prolific and profitable in the South and now being Introduced well into northern states. Bearing pecan trees are not infrequent along the At lantic coast as far north as New Jer sey. Fine specimen trees are not un common in many northern slates. Oc casionally nuts mature on a few of the Stray trees scattered about in the state of Michigan. The Persian, commonly called Eng lish, walnuts can be grown in a few years, it does well in a limited way in certain sections of the East, espe cially along (he Atlantic coast in east ern Maryland, Delaware and New Jer sey. It is one of tlie important tree crops of California, and promises soon to become of considerable importance in the Pacific Northwest. Almonds of some hard-shell varie ties endure practically throughout the range of the beech. Japanese walnuts can be grown over a large part of the country. Except on tlie Pacific coast and in the South, nut culture as a general tiling is not recommended as a sure source of large income. However, there are many places where nut trees may as well he planted as other shade trees. And a grove of hardy nut trees is a heritage for the future well worth considering. PLAN TO ESTABLISH STANDARDS FOR HAY Work Includes Analyses of Dif ferent Samples. Endeavoring to Determine Importance of Factors Now Used in Fixing Grade of Commodity and Feed ing Value of Product. Sample bales of liny are being col lected by the bureau of markets, Uni ted States Department of Agriculture, from producers, shippers, and consum ers for the purpose of establishing standards for liny. The work is pro vided for by an act of congress; and Includes analyses of the liny samples in order to determine the importance of the factors now used in determin ing the grade of Hie commodity, In cluding liie color, mixliire, anti text ure. Moisture determinations and other analyses to ascertain the rela tive feeding value of various hay mix tures will also he made. The work is in charge of a special ist from the hay, feed and seed di vision of the bureau, and the labora tory lias been established at 201 South Strand street, Alexandria, Va. The equipment used includes sepa rating tables especially constructed for this work, display tables for use In color determinations, and racks and boxes for holding the various type samples as well as a tiay cutter and a grinder operated by a 15-horsepow er motor. These two machines cut and grind the hay to a degree of fine ness suitable for making the mois ture tests and chemical analysis. An electric drying oven, also constructed especially for the work, Is used In the moisture tests and in reducing tlie hay to a uniform moisture con tent for the other analyses. The standardization work is now well begun and it Is expected that tentative grades for timothy and per haps clover will be promulgated be fore the close of the fiscal year.
