for several years.

But more real and immediate by-products have been the personal
associations which have arisen from this hobby. Physicians, engineers,
teachers, farmers, persons from every calling are among those whom I
have met through a common interest in nut tree propagation. I can
recommend this hobby to anyone mature enough to take an interest in the
future, and to chemists in particular.

Notes on Propagation and Transplanting in Western Tennessee

These observations are presented as a preliminary report of the results
obtained by three enterprising amateurs of nut growing in the western
counties of Tennessee, whose work points the way toward overcoming some
of the weaknesses previously encountered in nut culture in the northern
part of the cotton belt states. These growers are the "three R's" of our
Association in west Tennessee: Dr. Aubrey Richards of Whiteville, Mr.
George Rhodes of Covington, and Mr. W. F. Roark of Malesus. I am giving
this brief account of some of their experiences, with the hope that it
will stimulate others to try their methods under various conditi
