Walnut Needed
For Gunstocks
Lovely walnut on the hill
You were never meant to kill
But this war—your country's calling I
Oversea* our boya are failin'?
Walnut—hurry to the mill i
Gunstock wood will fill the bill
Urgent need for every rifle—
You can really help to stifle
Upstart German and the Jap—
Help to wipe them from the map*
Owners of walnut trees which
abound in this region have been
asked to come forward again with
an offer of mature trees for the
production of gunstocks. The
hurry-up call, coming after war
production had started to taper off,
is a result of the German winter
bul^e into Belgium and the recent
decision to provide new and im
proved arms for the Pacific war.
Owners of mature trees (12
inches or more in diameter at eye
level) are asked to register their
walnut stands with the American
Walnut Manufacturers’ Associa
tion, 616 So. Michigan Avenue,
Chicago. In this way, the mills will
be able to learn where they can get
the most gunstock wood in the
shortest time Walnut brings a
higher price than any other wood
commonly grown on farm land. The
principal sources lie between the
Appalachian and Rocky Mountains,
in the Ohio, Mississippi and Mis
souri River /rMeyr

Japan’s Home Islands—Shikoku
Shikoku, fourth in size of Japan’s home islands, guards Kure, an
important naval base on Honshu’s southeastern shore. Shikoku s area
about equals that of New Jersey
it is important to the empire be
cause of its strategic position, its
«<•
fertile soil and mines. Four mil
lion people inhabit the island.
Like most of the volcanic is
lands of Japan, Shikoku, general
ly is mountainous. Thick forests
of maple, oak, beech, camphor,
ash and evergreens have fed the
islands’s paper industry. The long
worked deposits of copper and an
timony provide raw materials for
war weapons.
On the farms, tobacco, indigo
and rice are grown. Salt is ex
tracted from seawater and proces
sed in pits along the northern
coast.
Tokushima, the chief city, with
a population of 66,000 faces the Kii
Channel at the northeast and has
a steamer conection wih Kobe on
Honshu island, 51 miles away.
Kochi, an attractive port in the
south, is a paper mill center. Ta
kahama, on the western shore, is
closest to Honshu, and is a rail
way junction center.
