Favors Personal Quarantine.
Editor 'Tie Advertiser
May I express my hearty apprecia
tion of your recent anti-visiting e(di
torial iI connection with the state
wide and world-wide epidemnie, which,
despite the attempted semi-humorous
appellation given it by some, is taking
the heaviest toll of life of any re
corded plague that has visited Ameti
ca.
Knowing that It is a disease trans
mitted by direct personal contact, as
evidenced by its subsider-a whenever
even partial quarantines are in
augurated, most thinking and consid
erate people refrain from visiting,
knowing that the reelplent, if of the
same characteristics, would mneh pre
Ifer it being deferred, and that, even if
they themselves are willing to risk
in fection, there may be vital reasonls
why othets may not feel so about t he
matter.
.\Most peIople illeana well even lbhough

TOP-WORKING SEEDLING
PECANS.
Cleisoni College.-Success in top.
working the pean1 depends not
alone on the art of budding. The pre
paratory treatment and attention pro.
vious to the budding season is of
prime importance, and best results are
obtained only by strictly observing all
phases of the work. Although greater
success is secured on trees ton inches
and under In diameter, larger treva
may be successfully worked; but as
an extenskyo commercial proposition
it is scarcely advisable.
Pieparatory treatment of the seed
ling trees must be .begun during the
dormant season, preferably In Febrp.
ary. The general rule is to cut back
all 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'di
ameter 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 placed t0
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
prevents rotting. Apply a coating of
white lead and linseed oil to all cut
surfaces. The trees are now in shape
for forcing ou 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 sho ts, 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 suffi
cient size for budding by August.
Budding.-In this article ring bud
ding only will 'be considered, as it is
I the most successful mc4iod. 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
bleaching. Tear into strips 12" wide
and roll tightly oi small round stcks.
Tie and submerge in a hot melted so
lution of grafting wax for a half hour.
The formula for grafting wax is:
rosin 3% lbs., boswax 2 lbs., tallow
1 lb. Put these into a pot, melt, and
mix thorough'ly before placing the
cloth therein.
Bud wood should be selected from
well developed shoots of the present
season's growth, from healthy pro
ductive trees of known variety. By
wrapping bud 'wood in moist burlap
and placing in a cool shady place it
can be kept for a week or ten days,
but it is best to have it delivered in
snmaller quantities every other day.
Varieties suggested are Stuart,
Scley, 'Moneymaker, 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 smooth
round place. With the knife ring the
limb being careful to make the cuts
straight so that they wil' coincide
when tahey miect. 'elect a good bud
from the 'budstick and do likewise.
Now remove the bark fronm the limb
by sli-ttingt it down the back and
prizing it up with the point of the
knife. Rlemove the bud right likewise
and insert it in the cut nmade on the
limb. Tear a strip of waxed cloth
about % Inch wide and 18 inches
long, andl starting below the bud, wraip
it firmly in place. Leave only the tip
of the bud out. If the bud ring of
bark is of greater circumference than
the .limb, a small piece may be taken
out so as to make it fit closely to1 then
linmb. On the other hand, if the bud
ring will not mieet around the limb, a
small strip of bark may ho left on the
limb, It does not matter if a small
open place is left between the edges
of the ring. In fact, some buddl~ers
make this a practice, for this gives
room for* tihe swelling of the btul ring
I lowever, it is essenitial tham.t lhe en.IA
of the bud1( ring conic ini clo.'e contact
with the bark of thle tree. Af: er 21
(lays the wraps are removed from thle
lmdha, and at this time, under favor
ale cond(it ions, you can tellI whis her
the bud has set or not.
After Treatment. - When growth
Starts the following spring, all tops
should be remiovedi from branches on
which the buds are living. These
tops are 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 thi
10" piece of limb to prevent its beta~
broken off by the wind. All sprouts
coming out on the branch must be
removedh and only the inserted bud
should 'be allowed to grow. Some time
during the following wInter, t-he ton.
inch stubs to .which the bud shoote
have been tied must be cut back close
to the shoots.
