 TREES IN ALABAMA
Bulletin By Department Ad- vises the Planting of
 Grafted Pecans

Auburn, April 22.-(Special.) )-"The Pe- can in Alabama" Is the title of an inter- esting bulletin prepared by P. F. Will
 iams, professor of horticulture at Au- burr. and state horticulturist, and which includes the results of a comprehensive study of pecan culture Foremost in gen. eral interest which the bulletin holds forth is the statistics relative to pecan production by counties of the state. The six leading counties are Baldwin. Mobile, Lowndes Autauga, Bullock and Butler. The bulletin contains a list of the leading counties, with the number of trees in each. as follows:
 Baldwin, trees. 41.525; of these 25077 are grafted: Mobile, trees, 23,90O; grafted, 22. 300; Lowndes, trees. 16,l7o grafted. 13.@1; Autauga. trees. 14,6S0; grafted. 2373; Bull lock. trees, o254; grafted, So5; Butler, 1880; Wilcox, 4e75; Washington. 3675; Macon, 25s7; Houston 25OO; Montgomery. 22Oo; Tal- ladega. 1895; Clark 1900; Dale, 1890; Talla- las, 12s2; Covington, 1885; Henry, 1000; Russell, 1000; Sumter. l0Co.
 Of the last 16 counties. s7o5 of the 2s,6cs trees are grafted. From a table of prev alent varieties. which the bulletin in- cludes, it is gathered that the following arc the most widely c'Hwn in Alabama :: Stuart, Pabst. Frotsc' yanDeman and Schley. Many orca lers returned their statistics with finite descrip- tion, papershell' peclns. This. said Pro- lessor Williams. means nothing for pur- poses of record. .. ,e
 Professor Williams in his bulletin in- dorses the planting of budded or grafted oceans; and recommends that no depend- ence be placed on seedlings.
