THE ONION THRIpS.
Likely TO Work Serious Injury
In Extensive Fields.

The effect of this insect on the onion
is known as the white blast,' from
the fact that the tops are prematurely
whitened, and become wrinkled and
shriveled. The insect caused consid-
cradle damage in some portions of the
state last year in onion fields, and the
Ohio agricultural experiment. station
has been engaged throughout the win
ter in studying its winter habits. 1t
has been found that the insect passes
the winter months in matted grass,
among old weeds and other rubbish, as
well as among Gull onions and refuse
that have been left over in the fields
In the fall.
Onion growers are familiar with the
fact that the depredations of this in
sect appear earliest, and are the most
emphasized, along the margins of
fields or plots, or in spots over the
fields. The reason for this is that the
insect winters over in these places. 1t
makes its way from the grassy mar
gins or from the grassy banks of
bitches, to the rows of onions adjoin-
ing. 1t winters over in the piles of
culled onions and refuse in the fields,
and begins its work there, spreading
from thence outward. Wherever the
grass and weeds along bitches can be
rooted up and destroyed it prevents
the harboring of this pest. Wherever
the old, dry grasses and weeds, along
the margins of onion plantations, can
be burned, the effect will be to destroy
myriads of the pest, and to prevent
their breeding the coming season.
With frequent, drenchng rains, there
is not much likelihood of severe out
break, but in case OF drought, the in
sect is likely to work more or less seri-
Gus injury in extensive onion fields,
A spray of one pound of whale oil
dissolved in eight gallons of water will
destroy the pest, and The use of this
mixture is recommended on the first
appearance OF the insects in the fields.
At time of first appearance it will prob
ably only be necessary to treat very
small areas along the margins of fields,
or the small, isolated spots previously
entioned, in order to permanently
check their increase.

scions in at the outer edges with the
thlckest side out, slanting them just
little to make sure that the line be-
tween the wood and the bari; of each
scion crosses the line between the wood
and the bark of the branch. When the
scions are in position, remove the
wedge and let the split close up, hold
Ing them fast, as in the illustration.
Then some wax will be needed, because
II the graft were left like this, these
exposed places would soon become so
dry that no growth could be made.
Wax may be bought of seedsmen, or
can be made. Boil four parts by weight
of resin, two of beeswaX and one of tai
low, until all are thoroughly melted.
Then pour in cold water, grease the
hands and pull it like moasses candy.
1T grows lighter in color by working
and should be soft and pliabe when
ready for use. Cover the ends of the
branch and the split down the side,
also the tips OF the scions, with the
wax, so that no air or water can get
in. If all goes WELL In a short time
the buds on the scions will begin to
swell and grow. In year or two the
branch will be large enough to bear
apples.
For whip grating, the only tool
needed is jackknife. The method is
practiced for branches about the size
Of lead pencil. Make long slanting
cut across the branch, as shown in the
illustration. Then make another cut
little more than half way toward
the end Of this slanting cut, as illus
trated, then cut the scion In exactly
the same way, holding the tip toward
you in making the cut. Place surface
Of scion and stick together, pressing
the tongue of each into the cut of the
other. The barks of the two must
come together on at least one side. The
gratis must be waxed in waxed cloth
made by dipping pieces Of the cloth
into the grating wax.-Orange Judd
Farmer.

Dormant scions can be gotten at any
time during the winter, but if grated
then they would dry and wither long
before the time for them to grow.
Hence we must wait until the tree is
ready to grow in spring. The scions
must be taken sooner and kept in a
cool place where they will not wither,
to prevent the buds from starting.
With such scions, grating can be
done any time in spring. Take one of
the scions and shave off the bottom
on two sides, making a wedge. One
side should be just little thicker than
the other, and on that side there should
be bud just above where the wedge
begins, leaving about three buds in all.
Prepare another scion in the same
way. Now open the split made in the
branch. This may be done with mar
row wooden wedge. Put the two

NEW GRATING METHOD.
Inventor, a Successful New DER
sey Fruit Grower.

I am going to introduce my method
of grating, which is new to most o.
those present. When you cut twig
from q tree, if it does not heal over in
one season it causes the root to rot.
The damage done to tree by cleft
grating seldom heals perfectly the
first season and results often in decay
setting in.
In my method use this little instru
mcnt, which has its cutting portion Of
V shape, attached to a shank with 4
wooden handle. ] then take a twig,
cut the top off, leaving the stock about
an inch through; then on the Side Of
the stock l cut out with my instru-
ment place for the insertion Of the
scion, which is shaped on the lower
end with very sharp knife to fit close
ly the place of insertion. You will no
tice | place the lower end of the scion
directly over the stock. Insert the
scion, which will fit closely and re-

How IN nestrnr Cntunrm..

Those who are much troubled by any
Of the several species OF cutworm
should remember that they can easily
be destroyed by the use of mixture Of
bran and Paris green, moistened with
sweetened water, just enough TO make
into little balls that are to be placed by
the side Of each hill, or scattered at in
tervals of three or four feet apart along
the drills. The worms will eat this
In preference to the plant, and they will
never eat plants again after once try
ing this. Each ball should be about a
teaspoonful. One pound Of Paris green
TO 50 pounds Of bran is sufficient. II

can get it, but poultry have no business

TWO GRATING SYSTEMS.
One Is Known ms the Cleft, the other
ns the whip Method, and Both
Are Excellent.

A method often used is called cleft
grating, Select n branch from one
to two inches in diameter, saw it off
at smooth place, far enough above
any knot or branch so that it will split
easily, then split it in the center by
driving a strong knife into the end, The
scion must be twig which grew last
year. The buds on the scion must be
snugly wrapped in their winter coats
and must not have begun to grow.

quires some strength to remove. Now
paint the cut end OF stock and scion
with liquid grating preparation COM
posed of one pound of rosin to one
pint Of alcohol. prefer a liquid prep
aration, as 1t simply coats the cut sur
face over, keeping water and air from
it, and does not crack and fall off.
When the sun shines this liquid melts
and runs almost all off; so put on u
rag, which keeps it cool. To keep the
rag in place and also to assist in keep
ing the scion In place, wind q string
around it, which is cut away when the
bud of scion has made two or three
inches of growth.
This method of grating Is mostly
used for stone fruits-cherries plums
and peaches. You must graft stone
fruit very early, and the season to do
so is of short duration, say about the
last of March. and with care in setting
them, about rs per cent. of the CRAFTS
will live.-Martin Ernst, In Country
