Ptest Last winter, a year ago,
4 neighbor, Mr.. w. l.. Watkins
became so interested over the idea
! that he cleared some land, leaving
the hickory, both large and small,
which he topped in order to force
out young shoots preparatory for
the budding of the pecan. The bud
ding was done some time in August
of last year, which time it was dry
and unfavorable for budding. /
did not expect any of them to grow
under such conditions, but to my
surprise there were about 80 per
cent of the trees that forced buds
this last spring. The growth has
been so rapid and luxuriant it is
marvellous to behold. The pecan
grew off much faster than the hick-
DRY shoots left on the trees. Here
is additional testimony from Mr.
Leyendecker of Frelsburg, i'll let

1904, bore few nuts last year and
the year before, and this year is

All this has conspired to make
me enthusiastic on top budding
hickory with pecan. Mr., G. W.
Wood, of Swan, Texas, prepared
nearly 100 hickory trees for top bud
ding last winter, saving off the tops
of the trees about 10 feet above
