Half of Country’s Nuts Wasted.

Nuts are wasted in great quantities in some parts of the country. This is true especially of such varieties as black walnuts and butternuts which have kernels not so easily taken from their shells as those of chestnuts and hickory nuts. It is probable that not half of the nuts which ripen every fall in the United States are ever eaten by human beings.
