All over the country there is a rapidly growing interest in nut culture. The demand for nuts is great; the markets are poorly supplied, and the prices too high. Palatable and wholesome as they are, they should become a common article of food here, as in Europe. Numerous experiments show plainly that nut culture of nearly every kind can be car. ried on in the United States with entire success ; in fact, statistics plainly prove that a well cared for nut orchard is a "gold mine," indeed. We have accounts of single trees paying from S25 to S50, and many cases are noted where an acre clears from $150 to S600 annually. A large portion of the nuts on our markets are imported.
