Palma boys are sanguine and claim first
place. III they are as successful as last

even stronger than they were then. The
games will be bowled on the Columbus

Its reserves are f. Leaycraft, j. A. Davis,

wINTERlNG FRUIT WOOD

Grapes can be grown even in the coolest
sections, if the viues are laid down on
tie soil in November, 50 as to be COW
cred with snow, and this is an easy mat
ter with their plant stems.
Professor Budd saws that peach trees
have been frulted in Iowa by using the
same rreservative means. Their stiff,
branchy nature i'll adapts then to living
down, but this difficulty, as explained in
the Rural New Yorker, is overcome bv
reducing the young tree to single bare
stem after one years growth. This stem
is bent fiat to the ground late in the fall ::
the roots being bent or cut to make it
practicable. About i've feet of the stem
remain permanently horizontal and the
point grows upward and is allowed to
branch; but chiefly in line with the pros
trate stem, ard is staked to hold it erect.
In the next fall the top is easily bent
down to one side or the other and held
fiat by billets Of wood.
The Antwerp sorts ofraspberry can be
fruitel with similar care to let only three
or four canes grew in hill in summer
and 10 weight these down for the win
ter. 1t is best not to cover any of such
laid down shoots with earth as, If mild
weather occurs before April, the fruit
buds may swell and rot. A difficulty IN
the case of the beach tree is its tendency
to making rank growth late in summer.
which cannot rlpen well. The bending
and training indicated above are likely
to check this over production of soft
wood and to induce more Towering buds
and shoots.
