orab1e to this theory of pecan breed

orable to this theory of pecan breed
! ing.
In 1885 I bought, in New Orleans,
a pound of very large, fine, thin-shell
pecans, grown on an isolated tree in
a private yard, and that winter planted
them Of the lot [ transplanted eight
of the thriftiest, which are yet grow
ing fairly we'll, though planted in very
thin, hard sandy clay land, and since
have had no fertilizer, but were Gull
tivated on one side of the row, the
other side being in native grass
pastured close each year. The sides
of the tops of the trees extending
over the cultivated side are much
more developed than the sides over
the grass. Most of the trees have
borne several times, and all that bore
had large, fine nuts similar to those
planted, yet varying considerably, but
all would class as good commercial
nuts.
A Mr.. bikes, living in Gonzales
county, had a pecan grove in his yard,
one large old tree, surrounded by
quite a number Of young trees, all
apparently seedlings Of the old tree,
and no other pecan trees grew any
where nearer than the next farm.
I, for several years, bought the crop
of nuts from this grove; always the
nuts of each tree separately from the
others. All were fine and similar to
the nuts Of the old tree, which would
compare very favorab1y with the best
commercial pecans that are grated
and planted today.
The principles of breeding, as sue
cessful1y practiced by planting, are,
in all probability of universal appli-
cation, including the pecan. The
greatest difficulty in the way is the
great length Of time required to breed
up to a sufficiently high quality of
a fixed type, to meet the commercial
demands. Owing to this and the i'm
portance of improving this best Of all
commercial nuts, the Department of
Agriculture, I think, should institute
breedery of pecans along with its
other breeding work.

Transplanting Pecan Trees.

Mr.. H. NJ. Stringfe1low, whose book
"The New Horticulture" we reviewed
some time ago, advocates cutting back
the roots and tops of pecans as well
as fruit trees. He exhibited speci-
mems of pecan trees grown by both
methods of TRANSFORMING, and show
ed that the trees with the shortened
tap roots and closely pruned roots
and tops had in one year made much
better start towards recovery from
the shock of removal than those which
were set with long tap roots and side
roots left as long as possible. The
last number of Farm and Ranch con-
tains an article from him which is
rather sarcastic, but is good, and
shows the use1essness of so much TN
necessary digging The letter is as
follows:
AS the time for planting pecan trees
will soon be here, allow me to call
attention to a part Of Mr.. c. Falk-
ner's last Farmers Congress address
on that subject which was published
in Farm and Ranch several weeks
ago. He remarks that it is well
known II am one of the largest pecan
growers in Central Texas, and what
I have to say on TRANSFORMING pecan
trees will be for the benefit of new
growers" Now, as president Of the
Nut Growers Association and a large
nut grower, Mr. Falkner's opinion
should be entitled to serious consid-
Grafton, for which reason [ challenge
the correctness of his method as given
in the following quotation from his
address. "I planted my trees in a
hole AKA feet. Before setting, how
ever, I get good alluvial soil and put
in the hole, and then pour some water
on it and tramp it so that when [
put the tree in the ground it has the
soil packed close about it" Now,
as the prices of budded and grated
trees-the. only kind that should be
planted very high, I fail to TN
derstand why, if he really wishes to
encourage the planting Of pecans,
Mr.. Fa1kner would add so enormous
1y to the expense, when he has had
abundant evidence from his own ex-
perience and mine, that it is entirely
unnecessary. At the Nut Growers
convention in Dallas, two years ago,
I made a short talk on this subject,
my object being to show how the
expense of planting a pecan grove

proves again what Mr. French says
in his article this week, that good
blood and North Carolina grass will
make good cattle. Scrubs? What's
going to become Of scrubs after the
people not on1 y hear tell Of these
better breeds, but actually see them,
and see buyers swapping off big wads
of money for a single young beef
steer? Just because Of better blood
this two-year-old brought twice the
profits Of an ordinary scrub at three
years old.
1t was right funny. You'll read
about it in Mr.. Frenchs article on an
other page. The man had asked Mr..
French the weight Of one of his big
black, blooded calves. Mr.. French
told him. The looker-on was astonish-
ed. "Why, john" he said to a COM
panion, "he's heavier than Our two
year-old scrubs;" to which he added,
"but then it doesn't cost us anything
to winter ours; they run out and pick
their own living" But the man with
the big black calf had the other skin
ned mile on economical wintering,
"for," said he, this calf has yet to
see his first winter" That black calf,
from Rockingham worth twice
as much as a scrub twice his age
is good enough proof of Mr.. French's
proposition that "good blood and
North Carolina grass will make good
CATTLE" But the easy wav Mr. French
had of beating the other fellow Win
tering his catt1e-we call that a right
good story

F1orida's PROGRESS.

Florida is becoming more and more
schoo1ed in the art of putting to good
account her advantages Where
years ago Florida looked to the West
for her forage supplies, today she has
forage to sell. St. Johns county
farmers have corn and hay to sell,
and this, too from land that yielded a
handsome money crop in the spring
from Irish potatoes. Other sections
of the state which are paying atten-
ton to the growing Of cotton are now
getting IS cents for short staple and
s. cents for Sea Island, while those
who are making tobacco a speciality
are reaping a harvest on SUM- grown
at rs cents and on the shaded product
at ST per pound. Lands that are now
being cleared Of crops are being pre-
pared for planting to the various kinds
Of vegetables. The guava, banana and
other tropical fruits are moving from
the southern extremity of the state,
while the orange, which abounds
throughout the peninsula of Florida, is
on the eve Of it's exodus to the cities
north Of us. And so the work goes on
from January to January-St. Angus

could be greatly reduced and far bet
ter trees obtained. With this view
I exhibited on the stage the result
of an experiment made that season,
and showed two pecan trees, one hav-
ing been planted with a 2O-inch tap
root and the other with a 4-inch one.
The former had put forth no roots
at all from the lower end or part
of it's old tap root, but had re-estab-
lished itself entirely on a system of
fibrous surface roots about six inches
below ground, just as [ had demon
strated by previous experiments and
published in Farm and Ranch. This
proceeding on the part Of the tree
was entirely natural, heat being es-
sentia1 to root growth and the deep
subsoi1 being still cold when the tree
was set. But the root-pruned tree,
it's lower end being within six inches
Of the warm surface, promptly put
forth several strong vertical roots
from it, nearly two feet of which l
exhibited on the stage and left part
still going downwards.
Returning now to Mr.. Falkner's A.
foot hole, which of course was four
feet deep as we'll as wide (the entire
necessity for a loose soil being on
the presumption that pecan roots are
unable to penetrate natural, firm
ground, I hope he will tell the read
ers of Farm and Ranch why he limits
it to AKA feet If larger hole than
will conveniently allow of getting the
young trees into the ground is really
necessary, then surely 8x8 feet would
be still better. In fact, logically the
hole should be as wide and deep
as the roots will extend at maturity,
for if the new roots are unable to
penetrate the walls and bottom of a
3 Or 6-1nch hole, what are they gOlno
to do when they reach the walls of
Mr. Fa1kner's 4-foot hole? Plainly
they will have to travel around and
around like those Of tree in tub.
I hope for the benefit Of new growers,
Mr.. Falkner will throw some light
on this important point and also tell
them how he disposes of the three
or four wagon-loads Of raw subsoil
removed to make room for the al
luva1 or better soil. Does he haul it
away Or scatter it around the young
trees? But as I have trespassed al
ready too long on your space [ will

progressive president three questions
Ist, Why at the Dallas convention
did he except the pecan from the
benefits Of root pruning, when both
he and [ there demonstrated its sue
cess?
2nd Why has he kept good thing
to himself and failed all these years
to tell fruit growers of the value OF
a 4-foot hole, and especially why he
sat by on the above occasion, as
dumb as a baked clam, and allowed
Prof. White of Georgia, to humbug
us into the belief that a 3o-lnch hole
each way was sufficient?
3rd, How did the pecans which fell
upon the hard, unbroken ground all
over Texas, having no roots at all
ever manage to penetrate it and make
the grand and productive trees that
are now the pride Of Our state and
will this season yield hundreds of car
loads Of nuts?

Critica al Condition


she would not recover. but an i'm
provement was noticed later. Her
condition, It Is stated. Is stiIi critical.
and 1t is hardly likely that she viii
be able to appear in court during the
present week.
Should Mrs. Bywaters recover from
her illness. It is believed she will be
summoned to appear in Washington
in the case OF DR.. Edward Leon
Thompson. who Is held there for the
action OF the grand Jury. During her
testimony before the coroner's jury
she declared that the operation per:
formed upon her In Washington was
by DIR. Thompson, and 1t was largely
because Of her accusation that the
physician was arrested and accused.
It Is expected here that a deputy mar
shal or other official from Washington
will be on hand tomorrow or later In
week for the purpose of serving a
subpoena upon Mrs. Bywaters to ap.
pear In that city and give testimony
against DR.. Thompson. There Is no
certainty, however, that she will be
able to go there at a very early date.
Judge Grimsley. OF this circuit, has
already withdrawn from the case, his
reason for not appearing upon the
bench during the trial being based
upon his relationship to the Bywaters
family. Judge Grimsley, it is stated,
was a close personal friend Of Will
Bywaters in addition to being a rela-
tive, and It is said he has taken an
active interest in the prosecution Of
The case. Following his withdrawal
Governor Swanson designated J1dge
Aiken. of Danville, to take his place.
It is stated that Judge Aiken does not
know any Of the parties to the case.
A surprise was occasioned by the
/ withdrawal from the prosecution of
the case of G. NJ. Waite, the common
wealth's attorney. He retired, It is
stated, for personal reasons, fand his
place will be filed by John Keith, com
monwealth's attorney for Farquer
