Evaluation and judging include all those fine things we look for in a nut.
3. The Naming of Varieties
Many of us have the same tree growing but calling it a different name.
4. Securing New Varieties
And getting them into as many channels. Mr. Wilkinson started several "Chief" pecan trees last year and gave them all away. Chief is a fine new variety of pecan. If we had a few more Ford Wilkinsons in this organization, "God bless him," we wouldn't have so many problems.
5. The Work of Individuals
There is always the possibility of finding the "perfect nut," so we need to continue our search through the earth for better varieties.
Scientific techniques must be applied before we breed better nuts.
We simply cannot have nuts put in our coffins expecting to continue our work in the next world; so we need to do the next best thing to this—that is of instructing our sons in the little we have found and where our different varieties are planted. Then, some of our sons will start where we left off.
Private research is playing a more important part in the world today. Private research, using the large amount of basic research available, could accomplish wonders in the nut world.
