IMPORTANCE AND IMPROVEMENT
OF VARIOUS NATIVE NUT TREES
—_ —r - ■ ... ; .
Second-Growth Black Walnut Trace, Well Spaced to Permit Nut Produo
tion.
(Prep&red by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Native nut trees, such as the black
walnut and members of the hickory
group Including the pecan, have a po
tential value not generally realized.
Aside from the well-known value of
the timber of the walnut in the mak
ing of furniture, gun-stocks, and air
plane propellers, and of the white
hickories in the manufacture of auto
mobile wheels, tool handles, and many
other articles, and even of pecan wood
In Its variety of uses, particularly for
harness hames, these trees, when
rightly selected and placed, form most
attractive ornamentals. But, in addi
tion to these uses, which alone are of
enough importance to justify the care
ful preservation of existing trees and
the planting of others, they have an
economic value in the nuts produced.
These native nuts, eyen though un
cultivated and unimproved, and, per
haps, inferior in shell thickness and
cracking quality, are preferred by
many to any of the cultivated kinds
from Europe and Asitn
Nut Crop Adds To Income.
On many American farms by-prod
ucts or small crops make Important
ddltions to the income, and in many
localities nut trees planted about the
farm buildings, along the highways, or
In other unoccupied spaces, or old
trees that have been left in the clear
ing away of the original forest, are
depended upon to add noticeably to
the bunk account. Forward-looking
fanners want to make their trees pro
duce the best nuts and In the greatest
possible quantity.
First of all, every tree intended to
bear nuts In quantity needs ample
space, 60 feet being none too great an
Interval between trees of equal rate
of growth, and larger trees, unless on
the shady side, should be 100 feet
apart. A fertile soil that is reason
ably moist is best fur nut trees, well
drained clay loam being the most de
sirable.
Variety is next in importance to soil
and location. Experienced observers
know that nut trees do not come true
to seed, and that the only w*ay to
reproduce a variety or an identical
type Is by grafting or budding, as Is
done with apples, peaches, pears, and
other fruits. Nurseymen in the north
ern part of the country are now propa
gating several varieties of black wal
nuts, pecans, hickories, and butternuts
by these methods, but due to the fact
that active Interest begun only a de
cade ago. none of these varieties has

the Nuts It Produces.
been given much opportunity to
demonstrate its usefulness ns a
money-crop producer. However, sev
eral varieties are promising.
Mature native trees that are well
situated may be made more valuable
by top-working. By “top-working” is
meant the replacing of the original
top with a new top of another variety.
It has been practiced for a long time
by fruit growers to increase the value
of seedling trees and trees of inferior
varieties, and owners of nut trees are
now adopting the method. The steps
to be taken are: (1) The selection of
trees, taking into account the things
just mentioned; (2) the choice of
varieties to be used, and the making
sure of scions or bud sticks at the
proper time; (3) the cutting back of
the tops during the latter part of the
dormant period or very early in the
spring; (4) the actual process of
grafting or budding; and (5) the!
subsequent care of the new growth.
Cutting Back the Tops.
In cutting back the tops preparatory
to budding or grafting, certain rules
should be rigidly followed: (1) No cut
should be made where a limb is mere
than six Inches in dliimeter, and a
limit of three inches is preferred; (2)
all chts should be made so they will
lien! of themselves If. by chance, they
receive no further attention; (8) cu’h
should be made in late winter while
the trees are still dormant, or, at the
latest, Just before the leaves appear;
(4) cuts should always be made
slightly above a bud, which will as
sure renewal In case the graft should
fall.
Grafting may be done by the com
mon cleft method or tne slip-bark
method. The former Is usually em
ployed when the tree is still dormant
and the latter at any time during the
growing period, but the scions used
must always be dormant, and .as
scions in that condition are seldom
available after the first of April
neither method Is of much interest
just now. It is now too late to top
work trees this season, but those that
have been cut back and small trees
that may be budded without cutting
back may be left until late summer or
autumn, so that scions (then called
bud sticks) of the better varieties may
be obtained and buds from them in
serted In the bark of the new shoots.
Specially devised tools for remov
ing frpds from the bud sUcks and
for removing pieces of bark of Identl
cal size from the stock are on the
market. Several are illustrated In
Farmers’ Bulletin 700, Pecan Culture,
which contains much information of
Interest to nut propagators, and which
may he obtained by writing, to the
Department of Agriculture. Washing
ton. D. C. Budding by the “patch
bud" method may be done at any time
when the bark of the stock slips
readily. On trees of rapid growth the
bark will slip at almost any time in
the summer. On young trees not cut
back budding may be done in the first
half of the growing season, whereas
new shoots grown from below cut-off
tops should be of sufficient size for
budding during the latter half of the
season. Dry spells frequently cause
the bark to tighten, but rains will
loosen It later. The season for bud
ding sometimes extends until the trees
begin to go dormant. During the lat
ter half of the season buds may be
selected from those formed at the
hase of the present season’s growth.
Most of them will remain dormant
until the following spring.
DEATH WARRANTS FOR
ALL INFERIOR SIRES
Farmers List Stock and Agree to
Use Only Purebreds
Liv® Stock Owners Show Determina
tion to Put Herds of Entire Com
munity on Better Paying
Basis—Many Enroll.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The determination of groups and as
soclationa of live-stock owners to put
herds of entire communities on a bet
ter paying basis is shown by records
of the United States Department of
Agriculture in connection with its bet
ter-sires activities. Participation in
the federal-state campaign for “Better
Sires-Better Stock” Involves the sign
ing of a blank in which a farmer lists
his breeding stock and agrees to use
purebred sires for all classes of farm
animals kept. The blanks are dis
tributed in most cases by county
agents and are virtually death war
runts for grade and scrub sires.
In one day recently the department
received 182 such blanks signed by
farmers In Rockingham county, Vir
ginia, and Indorsed by Charles W.
Wampler, county agent. Other large
numbers received In one day from in
dividual communities were 39 from
Green county, Ohio, and 37 from
Guernsey county, Ohio.
Purebred sires of inferior quality
are often disposed of along with
scrubs and grades in accordance with
the requirement that the purebreds
listed must be of sufficient merit to be
worthy of heading herds and flocks.
COLLAR OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Should Fit Neck and Shoulders of
Horse to Prevent Sores—Bathe
in Salt Water.
Since the power of a horse is ap
plied through the collar, it is of nt*
most importance that the collar should
tit the neck and shoulders. Careless
ness In using badly fitting collars not
only develops sores and ugly scars but
many times causes horses to become
balky. Horses’ shoulders should be
bathed in salt water every evening in
harden them.
