TOP WORKING SEEDLING PE- l
CANS.
The middle of june is the time to
begin preliminary work in the work
ing seedling pecans,” says A. C.
Dibble, assistant Extension horti
culturist. The actual budding should
not be done, however, until late July
and August.
Successful top working of pecans
depend on preparatory treatment
previous to the budding season. The
time for this preparatory treatment
to begin is in the dormant season,
preferably February. If this work
was properly done all limbs were
cut back to stubs 8 to 12 inches long.
Limbs ever 3 inches in diameter
should have been cut back at a place
where the diameter was not over S
inches. In cutting back limbs 4
inches and above in diameter some
of the smaller branches and several
larger ones should be left to furnish
leaf surface until shoots come out.
Topping should be done at a place
where several branches are well
placed to form a good head. The
top should be removed with a slop*
ing cut just above one of the stubs,
this promotes healing. A coat of
white lead and linseed oil to all cut
surfaces will help to prevent rotting.
About the middle of June thin out
some of the numerous shoots, leav
ing 2 or 3 well placed vigorous
shoots to each stub. This will de
velop to sufficient size for budding
by late July and August.
Ring budding is the’most success
ful method of budding. A knife
constructed especially for the pur
pose must be obtained, and waxed
cloth prepared. Budding knives
may be made at home, or obtained
from nursery companies. For bud
ding cloth tear ordinary bleaching
into 12-inch strips. Tie to prevent
unrolling, and submerge in hot graft
ing wax for a half hour.
Budwood should be selected from
good shoots of the present season’s
growth from trees of known variety,
or it may be bought from nursery
men. It can be kept a week or ten
days when necessary by wrapping in
moist burlap and keeping in a cool

Magic! Drop a little “Freezone” on

stops hurting, then shortly you lift it
right off with fingers. Doesn’t hurt a bit.

shady place. Stuart, Schley, Money
maker, and Curtis are the varieties
suggested.
The actual operation of budding
is simple but requires carefulness
and practice. The buds are usually
set 6 to 12 inches from the base of
the limb, and on top of it in a
smooth round place. Ring the limb
with the knife so as to make the
cuts coincide when they meet. Se
lect a good bud from the stick and
ring it likewise. Remove the bark
from the limb by slitting it dowr
the back and prizing it up with the
point of the knife. Then remove the
bud likewise and insert it into cut
made on the limb. Wrap this firmly
with waxed cloth torn in strips half
inch wide, leaving only the tip of
the bud out. If the bud ring will not
meet around the limb it is all right
to leave a small open place between
the edges of the bud- ring. In fact
some budders prefer this, but it is
essential that the cuts of the bud
ring come in close contact with the
bark of the tree.
After 21 days the wraps are re
moved and it can be seen whether
the bud has set or not.—Clemson

As soon as the young plants come
up the first application is made-
During fair weather two applica
tions per week are adequate, but
during rainy seasons dusting after
each rain is necessary.
Usually ten to twelve applications
per season are required. The dust
adheres best, however, when the
plants are wet with dew or rain.

FIND GOOD REMEDY FOR CU
CUMBER BEETLE.
Through tests for the control of
the stripped cucumber beetle, made
by the department of entomology,
Ohio Experiment Station, in its field
laboratory at Marietta, a material
that acts as a poison, repellent and
fertilizer has been developed.
This mixture is composed of one
part of calcium arsenate and twenty
parts of land plaster. This was
found to be superior to twenty-five
different materials and compounds
tested for controlling the striped cu
cumber beetle.
The dust may be applied with a
simple shaker, made by punching a
score of holes with an eight-penny
nail into the bottbm of a half-gallon
tin can.

300 MODERN EVES GET
AWAY BACK TO NATURE
Paris.—“The year one of the second
heathen era” was ushered in by Latin
quarter students Friday night with the
annual four arts ball. Five thousand
artists and many persons prominent in
the social world went back to savagery
and Carthage with one leap. The scene
rivaled, if it did not surpass, the famed
bacchanalian orgies of Salammbo.
THE U. S. USCO TREAD
Here is the U. S. Usco Tread, with a
long - established standard of service
among motorists who have an eye to
value, as well as to price. While sell
ing for less than the other tires in the
U. S. Fabric line, the Usco has earned
a reputation for quality and depend
able economy which is not exceeded by
any tire in its class.
"Fresh, live U. S. Tires
come direct to the dealer
from his neighboring Fac
tory Branch."
Which one of your
neighbors gets the
best mileage out of
his tires ?
E VERY once in a while you hear a motorist say as he
kicks a rear tire with an admiring foot, “there’s a lucky
tire! ” Give him a chance and he’ll tell you all about it.
And then you’ll find that what he calls “luck” is simply his
first experience with a quality standard tire.
It all comes to this—buy a U. S. Tire anywhere
in this country and you get definite, predictable
value for your money no matter what weight car
you drive.
The man who has been guessing his way through
“overstocks,” “discontinued lines,” “job lots” and the
like, will find it refreshing to talk with the local U. S.
Tire dealer who is concentrating on a full, com
pletely sized line of U. S. Tires.
For the first time he will hear some straight quality
tire facts—and get the difference
between chance and certainty in
tire buying.
The U. S. Tires he sees in stock are
fresh, live tires. They come direct to the
dealer from his neighboring Factory
Branch.
There are 92 of these Branches estab
lished and maintained by the U. S. Tire
makers.
Giving your dealer a continuous moving
stock of new, fresh tires built on the

a fair labor wage.”
