Clemson College.?Success in topforking the pecan depends not ilone on tlie art of budding. The preaaratory treatment and attention previous to the budding season is of prime importance, and best results are >btained only by strictly observing all phases of the work. Although greater mccess is secured on trees ten inches md under in diameter, larger trees nay be successfully worked; but as m extensive commercial proposition It is scarcely advisable. Preparatory treatment of the seedling trees must be begun during the lormant season, preferably in February. The general rule is to cut back sll limbs to stubs from 8" to 12" in length. Limbs over 3" in diameter should be cut back two to three feet from their bases, or to where the diameter is not over 3". In cutting back trees of 4" and over in diameter always leave some of the smaller | branches and several of the larger j >nes 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 place where several branches are well placed to form a basis for a good head. This height will vary with the diameter laid 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 prevents 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 demand 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 attained sufficient size for budding by August. Budding.?In this article ring bud* ding only will be considered, as it is the most successful method. Before ring budding season, late July thru August, a specially constructed knife must be obtained and waxed cloth pre> pared. The budding knife is made by securing two ordinary budding knives to the sides of a small block of soft wood so that the cutting blades will be parallel and one inch apart. - For budding cloth use ordinary Meadiing. Tear into strips 12" wide and roll tightly on small round stcks. Tie and submerge in a hot melted solution of grafting wax for a half hour. The formula for grafting wax is: rosin 3% lbs., beeswax 2 lbs., tallow 1 lb. Put these Into a pot, melt, and mix thoroughly. before placing the cloth therein. n Bud wood should be selected from well developed shoots of the present season's growth, from healthy productive trees of known variety. By wrapping bud wood in moist burlap and placing in a cool snady place it. can be kept -for. a week or ten days,; but it is best to have it delivered in. uoaTAm ?itnnfiif<AO onATO nffl OT* Ha V I Diiiaiiux quauuuuo v TVI j VMIV? ?*? / . - - > Varieties suggested Stuart, Schley, 'Moneymaker, and Curtis. Performing the Operation.?The operation of budding is simple, jet requires 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 smooth round place. "With the knife ring the limb being careful to make the cuts straight so that they wili coincide when they meet. Select a good bud from the budstick and do likewise. Now remove the bark from the limb! 1 ? ft ?? /-> Ka/>1r ond i vy siiiuugi n uvnu i,u^ u?vu , prizing it up with the point of the1 knife. \ Remove the bud right likewise! and irisert H in the cut made on the limb. Tear a strip of waxed cloth about y% inch wide and 18 inches long, and starting below the bud, wrap it firmly in place. Leave only the tip of the bud out. If the hud ring of bark is of greater circumference than the limb, a small piece may be taken out so as to make it fit closely to the j limb. On the other hind, if the bud j ping will not meet around the limb, a' small strip of bark may be left on the limb. It does not matter if a small j open place is left between the edgea j of the ring. In fact, some budders | make this a practice, for this gives i room for the swelling of the bud ring. However, it is essential that the ends of the bud ring come in close contact I with the bark of the tree. After 21 j tha wr&Ds are removed from the | buds, and at this time, under favorable conditions, you can tell whether the bud has set or not. After Treatment?When growth starts the following spring, all tops should be removed from branches on which the buds are ' living. These tops are cut off about 10 inches above the bud, and the hark skinned off from l" 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 be allowed to grow. Some time during the following winter, the teninch stubs to which the bud shoots have been tied must be cut back close to the shoots.
