Maybe you have heard someone
make this remark: Tha- its
tough pecan year, that an awful
lot of pecan trees in Texas a en't
producing nuts mis year.
Maybe you’ve said that your
self, but that isn’t the entire case.
Extension Horticulturist Jimmy
Rosborough of Texas A. & M. Col-
lege says he's seen trees lately
that are fairly drooping with pe-
cans.
So what’s the reason sor.ie trees
in the state are pr'.iduc ng while
oth-rs are not?
Mell, in the first place, says
Rosborough, to be successiul. pe-
can growing should oe earned
out according to a wed developed
pian :
Take the Leonaicl orchard in
Wharton County. The peejin trees
there are heavily ^loaded with
nuts, and here’s why
First of all, Rosborough says,
they started out on the Leonard
place iwith trees well-adapted to
the area, and right now a winter
cover crop, burr clover, is coming
up. That clover will be turned
back into the soil next April or
early May. During the summer
season the orchard is kept fallow,
so that growing nuts -won’t have
to compete with any other crop.
Winter cover crops and cultural
practices aren’t the only things
that have put the Leonard pecan
orchard up and above a lot of
others in the state.
The main thing, according to
Rosborough, is that the trees had
a good spraying. A spray con-
sisting of three gallons of oil em-
ulsion in one hundred gallons of
water was put on last winter.
This knocked out fungus growth,
lichens, obscure scale and moss
growth on the trees.
Then, the first week in May,
the orchard was sprayed again,
this time with a DDT mivture,
two pounds, fifty per cent
strength in 106 gallons of water.
When the small nuts take on that
corky-brown eblor, that’s the time
to get in there and spray.
One DDT spray was all the
Leonard orchard got, but it got a
thorough job, with equipment
that will develop six hundred
