TOP-WORKING SEEDLING . PECANS. Clemson College.?Success in top working the pecan depends noi atone on the art of budding. The pre paratory treatment and attention pre lions to the budding season is ol prime importance, and best results are obtained only by strictly observing all phases of the work. Although greatei success is secured on trees ten inches and under in diameter, larger trees may be successfully worked; but aa an extensive commercial proposition It in o/lwiPOVI? w*/ uuvioauiv. Preparatory treatment of the seeding trees must be begun during the dormant season, preferably in February. The general rule is to cut bach afll limbs to stubs from 8" to 12" in length. 'Limbs over 3" in diameter dhould be cut back two to three feel from their bases, or to where the di meter is not over 3". In cutting bach trees of 4" and over in diameter always leave some of the smallei branches and several the larget ones to famish leaf Surface until the feree 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 placed tc dona a basis for a good head. Thii 4 height will vary with the diametex and the number of branches. The toj should be removed with a sloping cal Inst above one of the stubs or a small branch. This promotes healing and prevents rotting. Apply a coating o4 > white lead and linseed oil to all cul surfaces. The trees are now in shape - lor forcing out shoots upon which the bods are to be placed, and will de mand no further special attention trn til summer. About the middle of June thin out some of the numerous Shoots, leaving two or three well placed vigorous onee on each stub. This will increase the development of the remaining shoot* 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 'if the most successful method. Before . ring budding season, late July thru August, a specially constructed knife must be obtained and waxed cloth pro i pared. The budding knife is made WJ eccururg iww wuiuoi; uuuauia ; - knives to the sides of a email blocl f soft wood so that the cutting > Wades will he parallel and one incfe apart For budding cloth nee ordinary bleaching.

The formula for grafting wax la: rosin 3ft lbs., beeswax 2 lbs., tallow . 1 B>. Put, these into a pot, melt, and mix thoroughly before placing the doth therein. Bud wood should be selected from well developed shoots of the present season's growth, from healthy pro \ dnctive trees of known variety. By X ' wrapping bod wood in moist burlag end placing in a cool shady place it ?aa be kept for a week or ten day* tat it is best to have It delivered in wa&Ber quantities every other day. Varieties suggested are Stuart. Schley, (Moneymaker, and Curtis. Performing the Operation.?The op oration of budding is simple, yet requires practice and carefulness. Th? tads are usually set about 6 to 12 inches from the base of the limb and on. top of it. Always select a emoou msd place. With the knife ring th? flmb being careful to make the cuts straight eo that they will coincide when they meet. Select a good bud ^Crorn the budstick and do likewise^ ' Now remove the bark from the limb by slitting! it down the back and prizing it up with the point of the knife. Remove the bud right likewise and insert it in the cut made on the limb. Tear a strip of waxed cloth v about y* inch wide and 18 inches long, and starting below the hud, wrap it firmly in place. Leave only the tip Of the bud out. If t^e hud ring of bark is of greater circumference than the limb, a small piece may be taken oat eo as to make it fit closely to the Smb. On the other hand, if the bud ring will not meet around the limb, a small strip of bark may he left on the limb. It does not matter if a small open place is left between the edges of the ring. In fact, some hudders make this a practice, for this gives room for the swelling of the bud ring. However, it is essential that the ends Of the bud ring come in close contact * V. 01 I WOU UK UiU*. VI tuc vi oo. mm HA days the wraps are removed from the buds, and at this time, under favorable conditions, you can tell whether the hud has set or not. After Treatment ? When growth Starts the following spring, ail tope should be removed from branches on, which the bude are living. These tops cure cut off about 10 inches above the bud, and the bark skinned off from 1" above the bud and upwards. The shoot from the bud is tied to thiB 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 hud 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.
