Some Facts and Suggestions From

Care Of Pecan Trees in Texas

Second The province Of the tap
root Is primarily to seek food and wa
ter in the depths Of the earth, TO
build and sustain all parts Of the tree.
gecondarily It acts as brace to hold
the trunk erect In the air. The tap
root Is the trunk system Of the roots,
from which branch all the lateral
roots, in every direction, as the tap
root desccnds. These lateral roots
are the feeding roots, for the tap root
never absorbs water or takes In food,
no mere than the trunk bears the
nuts. The trunk only sends out the
limbs TO do the bearing. Hence taller
the trunk the more limbs will II send
out 70 bear nuts; and likewise deep
err the tap root more lateral feeding
roots Il will send out 60 sustain the
bearing limbs. Therefore deeper the
tan root and taller the trunk more
efficient bearer will be the tree.
Third The Importance Of the tap
root Is so clearly shown in discussing
the preceding points that very little
remains to be said. SO important,
however, is the tap root that no later

It had big ideas. according to the

Of the commander of the American

But it wanted public

pull up stakes and move. Some
