grown free of competition from
other plants. Unless every root is
taken up with the plant, it should
be prmed back. The pruning
should be in proportion to the
roots lost. The most common
mistakes in transplanting are the
failure to cut the plants back, and
the moving of trees and shrubs
that are too large. If this does not
directly kill the plant, it may in
jure it so severely that disease or
insects will finish the job within
a year or two.
After the plants are dug, they
should be reset Immediately. If
this is not feasible, the roots
should be kept moist until the
plant is back in the soil. The plant
should be placed in the mole the
same depth that it was growing
before. Only topsoil should be
used in filling in the hole and this
should be thoroughly tamped
around the roots. If the soil is
dry, water should be poured
around the roots when the hole is
three-fourths filled with soil.

pork products for home use. The
publication tells of the equipment
necessary for butchering on h e

recipes for rendering lard and cur

And here is another cold weather
hint. Following the first heavy frost
black Walnuts are ready to be col
lected and hulled. r. W. Graeber,
extension forester, says that many
farm boys and girls find a ready
market in the nearby towns for all
the black walnut kernels that they
can gather and prepare. Some ship
the kernels in wholesale lots to the
large cities where they>are used in
cakes, candies, or cookies the

All club boys and girls to gather
the swalnuts and prepare them for
market. It's an easy way in which
to make some ready money.
Gather the walnuts after the first
heavy frost, Graeber advises. Ear
ly hulling prevents coloring of the
kernels, which become strong and
unmarketable if left moist. After
hulling, the walnuts should be dried
in the sun for at least ten days.
after which they may be stored is

in bulk.
In some areas, notably western
North Carolina, most of the wal
nuts are now handled as whole or
uncracked walnuts with only the
hull removed. Local merchants
are handling more Of these walnuts
each year and usually want more
than they can get. In places where
large quantities are available, the
walnuts can be shipped to centers
in Virginia and Tennessee where
power cracking machinery is avail
able. 1t is necessary for a bunch
Of folks to 60 in together in this
case, establish a collection center,
and then ship from 8 to IL thou
sand pounds from one point, so as to
furnish a truck load.
But these walnuts must meet
specifications. They need to be of
fair size, be hulled clean, be dry,
test at least 80 per cent sound,
and be packed in bags of 100 pounds
each. Wet bag filled withundried
nuts are likely to be rejected.
Markets do exist for both the
whole, uncracked nuts and for the
kernels, and no one can lose by
gathering and hulling them at the
right time.
