Mr. Graves, of Texas, ten years ago planted ten acres to walnut trees, by hand, two hundred to the acre, in all two thousand trees. The trees are now nine inches through, and grow at the rate of an inch a year, and when twenty years old they will be worth $25 a tree, making the forest worth at that time $50,000. But this is not all. Last year the trees bore 400 bushels of walnuts, which brought $2.50 per bushel, making, $1,000 for the ten acres of land - good interest for land worth $15 per acre. If at the age of twenty years, half of the trees are cut and sold for $25 a tree, or $25,000, the nuts per year from the remaining 1,000 trees will be worth 12,500 a year.
