PERSIMMON IS FRUIT MUCH NEGLECTED

I 111 i-uiumira neius una oieo uecause
of tho puckering astringent effect of
the unripe fruit There Is a saying
that persimmons aro "good for dogs
hogs and 'possums." but this is unust
to a product which can be made very
useful to man.
At the present time a few growern
In the persimmon belt who haic easy
access to markets In largo cities have
built up quite a considerable demand
for persimmons and the wild fruit can
also be sometimes purchased during
the autumn and early winter A num
her of nursermen also sell seedling
trees for ornamental planting for
which they aro ery effective and a
few havo (special arletles developed
for tho production of tho fruit.
Ono obstacle to the more general
uso of persimmons Is the mistaken
idea that the are not lit to eit until

baking soda to each cupful of pulp In
all recipes In which the pulp Is heat-
cd This removes whatever astrln '
gency thero may be In tbe fruit and I
does away with all risk of a puckered
mouth A number of practical recipes
calling for the use of persimmon pulp i
are contained in tbe bulletin
In the propagation of the perslm
mon. certain precautions that are nee I
ossary In tbe case of the other fruits
should bo observed. Seeds gathered '
for propagating purposes should bo
stratified at once If thej are allowed
to dry out it is often necessary to
soak them for two or three das beforo
they are planted boiling water being
used for the purpose. The heed bed
In whiib tbe seedlings are grown
should be well drained with rather
light soil nnd a good supply of humus
The ground should be deep plowed In
order to permit the penetration of the
long uproots which are characteristic
of the tree.
The roots of persimmon trees sprout
readily when the top Is removed aud
this accounts for the persistence at
times of clumps of sprouts In fields
where they nro not wanted It also
enables small pieces of roots six or
eight Inches long to be usod for propa
gating. The ends of the roots should
be scaled with grafting wax or pltrh In
order to prevent decay and tho pieces
burled In sand through the winter It
the molsturo supply Is plentiful they
will then grow readily the following
spring Cuttings of branches may b.i
used In the same way ab tho root rut-
tings In eases where is is desirablo to
graft the operation Is usually most
successful If It Is put off until the trees
have definitely started Into new-
growth It Is also of the utmost Im-
portance that the cut surfaco of both
bark and wood he protected with as
llttlo ..ay as possible fioin exposure
to the air Crafting wax waxed cloth
or similar devices are used to aflord
the necessary protection. Tho various
methods of grafting arc discussed In
some detail in the new bulletin
In addition to the value of the fruit
for household purposes persimmon
wood Is used to a largo extent by
manufacturers of cotton mill supplies
who make bobbins from It It Is also
used for shoo lnsts Tho llvo trees
are In considerable demand for shade
and ornamental purposes nnd one au-
thority states that as n shado trco on
private grounds the persimmon com-
tares favorably with any of tho other .
species in tins country.
