THE TOUGHEST JOB. 



When the American Association of 

 Nurserymen, at the Detroit convention 

 last June, adopted a new constitution 

 and by-laws involving a radical de- 

 parture from the methods of association 

 management in vogue for forty years, 

 it laid out a lot of hard work for its 

 officers, but on none of its committees 

 did it impose a greater task than was 

 created when, a little later in the ses- 

 sion, a resolution offered by J. R. May- 

 hew and seconded by F. W. Kelsey was 

 adopted, as follows: 



That a committee of five representative mem- 

 bers be appointed a committee on arbitra- 

 tion to whom ;an be referred matters of con- 

 troversy between members of this association. 

 The refusal of any member to arbitrate a dif- 

 ference between members shall be ground for 

 dropping such members from the rolls of this 

 association. 



As such board of arbitration Presi- 

 dent E. S. Welch appointed W. C. Reed, 

 Vincennes, Ind., chairman; G. A. Mar- 

 shall, Arlington, Neb.; A. E. Eobinson, 

 Lexington, Mass.; J. M. Pitkin, Newark, 

 N. Y., and L. A. Berkmans, Augusta, 

 Ga. 



Thoroughly realizing the courage of 

 those who undertake to adjudicate dis- 

 putes with regard to deals in perish- 

 able articles for which there are no 

 recognized standards, The Review re- 

 cently asked Chairman Reed how his 

 board was getting on. This, in part, 

 was his reply: 



"The arbitration committee of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen 

 has not become well enough organized 

 as yet to give you an idea, and so far 

 we have not had any definite claims 

 filed with us, although there are two or 

 three that are contemplating filing 

 same. It will take some time to work 

 out our plans and see what the results 

 may be." 



TRANSPLANTING LABOE PECANS. 



E. W. Kirkpatrick, of McKinney, 

 Tex., speaking at the annual session of 

 the Texas Nurserymen's Association, 

 told how he transplants pecan trees suc- 

 cessfully. Such trees may be trans- 

 planted safely, according to his expe- 

 rience, this only involving work and 

 some expense. It is easier in sandy 

 land than in black land. He usually 

 digs a trench around the trees, sawing

off the roots in taking them up, leaving 

 all the small roots possible, also sawing 

 off the tap root. In preparing the holes 

 for the trees dynamite is sometimes 

 used to get the ground loosened proper- 

 ly; good garden soil is used in the 

 bottom of the hole. He has transplant- 

 ed trees four to six inches in diameter 

 many times and never lost any. Just 

 a little extra expense in taking up a 

 pecan tree, taking care to get the soil 

 packed about the roots, would often 

 insure a fine growing tree. He said he 

 had seen pecan trees which had been 

 shipped long distances come out and 

 grow off nicely, although they looked 

 as if they were dead. It is a mistake, 

 ^fl declared, to suppose that tiftcRun "«»" 

 not be transplanted: it is just a oii«>'!- 

 tion of care, patience and a little ex- 

 pense and trouble. 



IMPEOVINQ THE SYCAMOEE. 



I notice in The Review of September 

 30j page 70, in an excellent write-up 

 of the sycamore, the author refers to its 

 "dirty" habit of dropping its leaves 

 before autumn, as its only failing. I 

 agree with him that in the southwest, 

 at least, this is its only objection. This 

 objection, however, can be easily over- 

 come. The sycamore, after it has at-

tained a good size, has the habit of tak- 

 ing on in the spring more foliage than 

 it can support, and naturally when hot, 

 dry weather comes on, it begins to cast 

 off such leaves as it does not need. The 

 remedy is severe pruning. 



Every five or six years, the entire 

 top should be cut off, leaving only a 

 bare trunk fifteen feet high. Such 

 branches as remain below this should be 

 cut back to within two feet of the 

 trunk. This spoils the looks of the 

 tree for a few months, but by mid- 

 summer the tree will have made a new 

 head of the densest and richest foliage 

 and not a leaf will fall before frost. 

 The next succeeding four or five years 

 the foliage will be rich and remain till 

 frost and the tree will be infinitely more 

 handsome than if it had never been 

 topped. This process may be repeated 

 every five or six years indefinitely.
