The Chairman: You've got shagbark to catch fairly well, have you by this method?
Mr. Jones: Yes sir.
The Secretary: How did your pecans and hickories do last summer?
Mr. Jones: I've forgotten the exact percentage that grew. Some died after they had made a growth of several inches. I think I left too many limbs growing on the hickories. Some of them made quite good growth.
A Member: When is this kind of grafting done?
Mr. Jones: We wait until the sap is up.
The Chairman: What do you cover the top with?
Mr. Jones: With wax. We leave this open at the bottom, for the reason that the sap can get out and not ferment. If it holds the sap, it will sour you know.
The Chairman: How far down does your wax go, Mr. Jones?
Mr. Jones: Far enough to cover up the wrapping.
