The title of the book is Tree Crops: A Permanent Agriculture by J Russell
Smith, 1929 and 1950.  It's still in print.  See
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0933280440/qid=915908727/sr=1-5/002
-8293052-5338613.  Unfortunately the review here is a lousy one.  This really
is a wonderful book.  I can see I have a book review to write.  You may borrow
the book from the Northern Nut Growers' library at
http://www.icserv.com/nnga/gennut.htm if you're a member (worth the dues just
for borrowing books).
