  not 
  been 
  a 
  teacher 
  and 
  lecturer 
  for 
  25 
  years 
  for 
  nothing, 
  and 
  I 
  

   don't 
  propose 
  to 
  kill 
  the 
  few 
  friends 
  I 
  have 
  among 
  nut 
  growers 
  

   by 
  talking 
  them 
  to 
  death 
  when 
  they 
  are 
  hungry 
  and 
  want 
  to 
  

   see 
  something 
  interesting. 
  I 
  will 
  send 
  this 
  paper 
  in 
  due 
  time 
  

   to 
  the 
  secretary, 
  and 
  give 
  way 
  now 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Jones. 
  I 
  did 
  want 
  

   to 
  show 
  you 
  on 
  the 
  slides 
  a 
  few 
  illustrations 
  of 
  cross 
  fertiliza- 
  

   tion 
  between 
  the 
  Japanese 
  and 
  the 
  American 
  walnut, 
  but 
  we 
  will 
  

   put 
  those 
  in 
  engravings 
  and 
  put 
  them 
  in 
  the 
  Northern 
  Nut 
  

   Growers' 
  Journal, 
  so 
  that 
  you 
  will 
  see 
  them 
  there 
  with 
  better 
  

   satisfaction. 
  Now 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  words 
  about 
  these 
  Persian 
  wal- 
  

   nuts. 
  These 
  are 
  eastern 
  grown 
  seedlings, 
  the 
  best 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  

   been 
  able 
  to 
  pick 
  out. 
  Here 
  is 
  an 
  Oregon 
  grown 
  nut. 
  That 
  is 
  

   the 
  ideal 
  type 
  for 
  dessert 
  walnuts. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  Meylan. 
  There 
  

   is 
  only 
  one 
  better, 
  and 
  that 
  is 
  the 
  real 
  Mayette, 
  of 
  which 
  we 
  

   grow 
  very 
  few 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States, 
  but 
  we 
  are 
  growing 
  con- 
  

   siderable 
  of 
  the 
  Meylan. 
  Whether 
  we 
  can 
  grow 
  this 
  successfully 
  

   here 
  or 
  not, 
  I 
  am 
  not 
  certain, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  well 
  worth 
  trying. 
  The 
  

   better 
  type 
  of 
  our 
  nut 
  seedlings 
  in 
  the 
  east 
  are 
  from 
  the 
  Parisienne. 
  

   We 
  must 
  get 
  a 
  nut 
  something 
  like 
  this 
  that 
  you 
  can 
  crack 
  be- 
  

   tween 
  your 
  fingers, 
  not 
  one 
  that 
  is 
  sealed 
  so 
  hard 
  that 
  it 
  requires 
  

   a 
  hammer, 
  and 
  must 
  get 
  one 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  good 
  quality 
  of 
  meat. 
  

   One 
  great 
  advantage 
  to 
  the 
  walnut 
  grower 
  in 
  the 
  East 
  will 
  be 
  

   that 
  he 
  can 
  get 
  his 
  crop 
  on 
  to 
  the 
  Thanksgiving 
  market, 
  which 
  

   is 
  the 
  cream 
  of 
  the 
  market 
  — 
  something 
  the 
  Western 
  or 
  European 
  

   nut 
  grower 
  cannot 
  do. 
  So 
  if 
  we 
  can 
  grow 
  a 
  nut 
  reasonably 
  fair 
  

   in 
  quality 
  we 
  can 
  expect 
  excellent 
  results. 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman: 
  Mr. 
  Jones, 
  will 
  you 
  give 
  us 
  your 
  points 
  now? 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Jones: 
  Dr. 
  Deming 
  yesterday 
  asked 
  me 
  to 
  give 
  a 
  httle 
  

   demonstration 
  of 
  grafting 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  brought 
  along 
  a 
  sort 
  of 
  

   transplanted 
  nursery 
  on 
  a 
  board, 
  so 
  that 
  I 
  might 
  do 
  so. 
  

  

  (Here 
  Mr. 
  Jones 
  demonstrated 
  methods 
  of 
  grafting 
  the 
  pecan.) 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman: 
  Tell 
  us 
  about 
  the 
  wax 
  cloth, 
  Mr. 
  Jones. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Jones: 
  We 
  use 
  that 
  over 
  the 
  cut. 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman: 
  How 
  do 
  you 
  make 
  your 
  wax 
  cloth 
  ? 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Jones: 
  We 
  take 
  a 
  roll 
  of 
  this, 
  possibly 
  three 
  or 
  four 
  yards 
  

   long, 
  very 
  thin 
  muslin, 
  roll 
  it 
  up 
  and 
  drop 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  melted 
  wax. 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman: 
  How 
  do 
  you 
  make 
  that 
  wax 
  ? 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Jones: 
  We 
  don't 
  measure 
  the 
  ingredients, 
  but 
  I 
  think 
  

   it 
  varies 
  from 
  four 
  to 
  six 
  pound 
  of 
  rosin, 
  to 
  one 
  pound 
  of 
  beeswax 
  

   and 
  a 
  tea 
  cup 
  full 
  of 
  boiled 
  linseed 
  oil 
  and 
  about 
  a 
  tablespoon 
  of 
  

   lamp 
  black.
