SEEDLING ege.-Success ino top. pecan depends not of budding. The pre ent and attention pre budding season is of ce, and*best results are ly by strictly observing all of the work. Although greater is secured on trees ten inches under in diameter, larger trees y be successfully worked; but as an extensive commercial proposition i is scarcely advisable. Preparatory treatment of the seed Ung trees must be begun during the dormant season, preferably in Febru ary. The general rule is to cut back al limbs to stubs from 8" to 12" in Iength. Limbs over 3" in diameter should be cut back two to three feet froln their bases, or to where the di amneter is not over 3". In cutting back trees of 4" and over in diameter al ways leave some of the smaller branches and several of the larger ones to furnish leaf surface until the tree can force out new shoots. In some cases, the height of the tree has also to be considered. Top ping should be done at a place where several branches are well plaoed to -form a basis for a good head. This height will vary with the diameter and the number of branches. The top should be removed with a sloping cut just above one of the stubs or a small branch. This promotes healing and pravents rotting. Apply a coating of white lead and linseed oil to all cut surfaces. The trees are now in shape for forcing out shoots upon which the buds are to be placed, and will de mand no further special attention un til summer. About the middle of June thin out some of the numerous shoots, leaving two or three well placed vigorous ones on each stub. This will increase the development of the remaining shoots, so that they will have attaWned suffi cient'size for budding by August. Eudding.-In this article ring bud ding only will be considered, as it is the most successful method. Before ring budding season, late JuIy thru Avuust, a specially constructed knife must be obtained and waxed cloth preo pared. The budding knife is made b7 securing two ordinary budding knires to the sidea of a emal block of .soft wood so that the cutting bides will be paraRel and one incb apart. -For- budding cloth use ordinary beacnhnt Tear into strips 1 wide md roll tightly on snaR ound steka Te and submerge in a hot melited so mix- thorougMyj before placiag the cloth therein. -Dud wood should be selected from well developed shoots of the present season's growth, from healty pr> ductive trees of known variety. By wrapping bud wood in moist burlap and placing in a cool shady place it ca be kept for a week or ten~ days, - but it is best to have it delivered in 'smaller quantities every other day. Varieties 'suggested are Stuart, Schley, IMoneymaker, and 'Curtis. . Performing the Operation.-The op, eration of budding is simple, yet re * quires practice and carefulness. The buds are usually set about 6 to 12 inches from the base of the limb and on top of it. Always select a emooth -round place. With the knife ring the limb being careful to zake the cnute~ .straight so that they wiIH coincide when they meet. Select a good bud! -~ from the budstick and do likewise. Now remove the bark from the limb by sIittingt it down the back and prizing it up with the point of the knife. Remove the bud right lfkewise and insert it in the cut nfade on the limb. Tear a strip of waxed cloth about % inch wide and 18 inches along, and starting below 'the bud, wrap it firmly in place. Leave only the tip, of 'the bud out. If the bud ringofi bark is of greater circumeference than tbhe limzb, a small piece may be taken out soas to make it fit cloeely to the limb. On the other hand, if the bud, ring will not meet around the limb, a ~small strip of bark may be left onthe -limb. It does not matter if a smalH -pen- place is left between the edges of 'the ring. In fact, some budders1 mnake this a practice, fo)i this gives room for the swelling of the bud ring. -X-owever, it is essential that the ends! of the bud ring come in close contactl 'w4th the bark of the tree. After 21~ days the wraps are removed from thai buds, and at this time, under favor-! able conditions, you ean tell wasther1 the bud has set or not. After Treatment-When growth~ starts the following spring, a'll tops should be removed from branches on which the buds -are living. These tops are cut off about 10 inches abovej the bud, and the 'bark skinned off from 1" above 'the bud and upwards. The shoot from the bud is tied to this 10" piece of limb to prevent its being broken off' by the wind. All sprouts coming out on the branch must be removed and only the inserted bud should ae allowed to grow. Some time during the following winter, t'he ten :nch stubs to which the bud shoots have been tied must be cut back close to the shoots. 'That some form of protein (skim milk, buttermilk, tankage, or meat scrap) is needed to keep up winter Must Not Liberate ThemOnly to Perish The Millions Who Have Been Made Free Must Now Be Fed-Food Ad ministrmtion Soon to Announce Pro. gram for World Relief-People of South Carolina Will Do Their Part Willingly. Columbia.-The Food Administra tion has been, since the United States entered the world struggle for the pre. servation of human liberty a war ne -essity. Now that the war has been so gloriously ended the Food Admin istration voices a humanitarian ap peal. Food has played its big part in the winning of the war. Food will play a bigger part, perhaps, in the winning f the world. In the immedite .uture, food must save the world-and the food must mome from America. , Herbert Hoover is in Europe. He has gone overseas to ascertain what are the actual food needs of the hundreds f millions of people in the liberated territories. When he has made his investigations an estimate of the umount of foodstuffs that will be re. :uired to feed these people Who have returned to the ways of peace to find themselves practically helpless for the present and until a crop can be grown. wfll be cabled back .to America. The Food Administration will then be able ,o announce a food program to meet this need. It is already known that the need ill be enormous, and that the food program will require, on the part of the American people, tha ciost in lensive conservation. The evacuation )f territory by thd enemy ha increas 3d rather than diminished the de nands upon America. for food. The umount of food that had already been pledged to the allied countries will aot be sufficient to meet the irgent 2eed. Millions of people are hungry. [n many lands famine threatens. The Ameican people, who have suf tered little in this war, compared with the sufferings of the people of many aDuropean countries, would not be will Ing to see these people, wlf have been ighting in a common cause, liberated )nly to perish for lack of the barest ecessities of life. That is not the victory that they have suffered for lour years to attain. Out of tha4r plenty the American people will ar thefr-food with their cousta' across the seas. The Food Administration believes that, because of the awakened public eonsience the, 'o program toe an* nounced' In the 'near future not nly he voluntarily complied with by the American people--includmng, of course, the people o~f South Carolina but that they will cheerfully comply with It, and count It a privilege to et at a common table with those less fortunate who have been assoeiat' ed with them in the greatest of all auman struggles. Already ships laden with food to relieve hunger and distress have reached port across the seas. Others sre following. These have been dis patched to avert famine and disaster. Pood ships must continue to cross the seas from America until fields which ave been under fire or plowed with the shells of ?ighty guns or which ave been battle grounds these past !our years can be tilled again and made to produce food where death, but through death, victory, has been the larvst. The people of South Carolina will be ready to do their share when the l'ood Administration makes known what is needed. SUGAR LIMITATIONS OFF; NO FURTHER RATIONING polumbia.-The limitation oi. four pods of sugar per month per per. ,on has been removed by the Food Administration and the rule requiring restaurants, hotels and public eating laces to limit their sugar consumption o four pounds for each 90 meals erved, has been rescinded by the liod Administration. The sugar shortage is over. The Food Admiis traton, however, expects that with the removal of the restrictions the public will not exceed the normal re arements, but will 'continue to use mgar with discretion. Manufadtarers asing sugar may likewise secure their ormal sugar requirements, without |h. further use of sugar certificates, rHE FOOD ADMINISTRATION STILL FORBIDS PROFITEERING. Coumbia.-In order that no a$s. drstanding may arise among licen sees with regard to the effect of the armistice upon the regulations of the Pood Administration. it he stated by :he Food Administration and made perfectly clear that the regulations ,.re no,t annulled by the armistice. Modifications have been made but af profit and regulations preventing carding have not been -removed, and there is no present intention on the part of the Food Administration of Iropping these restrictions, which will be rigidly enforced. The world needs at the present ime are for a larger amount of food then befo're the signing of the armis tice brought the figh.ting to an end. This comprehends food of all kinds, with tL.a possible exception of wheat, a which there is reported to be plenty. CREDITORS' NOTICE All persons who are indebted to the estate of Frank K.
