Trees on the Farm
ESTO RE the garden of Eden. Adam
ami Eve lived easily in th e garden
because it was full of h arv est
yielding trees, and tho curse th a t fell
■pen man w as the fa c t th a t he had
to grow sm all s tu ff like grain and
vegetables, the herbs o f the field, by
which m eans lie ato bread in the sw eat
o f his brow The man who th in k s th is
possible is Dr. J. Russell Sm ith, pro
feasor of in d u stry in tho W harton
school of fin an ce and coinmerco, Uni
v arsity of P ennsylvania, who told 500
of the leading pomologists of th e coun
try th a t the cost of l i v i n g rests in th eir
hands. IIo gave the A m erican Porno
logical Society somo of the results of
an IS,000 mile journey he has recently
com pleted for the u n iv ersity , studying
the p ossibility of a new agriculture.
“ Trees are th e g reat engines of food
p ro d u ctio n ,' ’ ho said, “ and we should
a t ouco begin th eir extensive u tillza
tion. Europe and A frica are showing
us th e way. P ortugal has orchards of
acorn bearing oak trees th a t are fa r
more v aluable than farm s w ithin forty
miles o f Philadelphia. The g re a t tro u ­
ble w ith th e American pomologists is
th a t th ey are too aristo cratic. They
h a t e been too proud to th in k about
feed in g n pig, yet the pig feed problem
is one of the big problems of America,
for th e pigs r a t more th an we do.
“ T h ere is evidence in both Europe
and A m erica to in d icate th a t properly
■elected and propagated oak trees can
be made as p roductive o f pig food as
is corn and do it much more easily
and for a g reat deal longer tim e. The
suckers th a t arise from tho stum ps of
tw o v arieties of P en n sy lv an ia oaks have
produced good crops a t the ages of
th ree and seven y ears respectively. I
h av e seen acorn orchards b earing well
in S pain on rocky slopes so steep th a t
th e farm ers only perm itted th e little
pigs to go in, because th e big ones
m ig h t fall and break th eir necks.
“ The tree o ffers the best m eans of
• ti h r i n g rough and broken lands, rjso
• rid lands and in some cases th e best

to breed p lan ts we are now ready to
