Horticultural Meeting

Tread before the Allen County Horticulture
society by Secretary b. L. Pancoast)
Mr.. President and members OF the
horticultural society
The subject assigned for me today
is one of the Oldest in the line of Hor-
ticulture.
Budding or Grating, which should
we do? Different climates make the
production of trees somewhat different.
The dry winds of Kansas, render top
grating of apple tress more difficult
because in grating the top must first
bc removed and severe pruning most
commonly ends in disaster, blight,
sun scald etc. BY inserting buds in a
half dozen topmost branches the tree

moved and but tri6ing injury is
done to the growth of the tree. More

THE FIRST SPIKE
1t Was Driven Last Friday and the
Electric railroad is Fairly and
Formally Underway.

1t was at exactly 9:45 last Friday
June 2S, 1901, when Mr.. Frank Crouch
President and General Manager, and
William Buchanan, one of the Oldest
residents of lola, raised their hammers
to drive the two gold spikes that we're
to fasten one end of the first rail to be
laid on the lola Electric Railroad, 1t
was not specially imposing cere-
mony, for there was no speech max
ing and no attempt at formality, but
it was very pleasant one and the
dozen or more spectators adjourned to
Joe Otten's lunch room, upon the in
vitation of Mr.. Crouch, and drank
soda pop, made in lola, U. S. A.,
with great enthusiasm and .unanimity,
to the success of the enterprise.
When the REGISTER announced
few months ago that Mr.. Crouch
would build an electric railway in lola
the statement was received with very
general incredulity. 1t did seem like
a good deal of an undertaking for u
man WIZ dulullutu buhO lbulu uOu nave
money enough himself to do the work.
But Mr.. Crouch has demonstrated
that he is in possession of the next
best thing to money, and that is the
ability to inspire confidence in those
who have money. Without any diff
fcvlty whatever. Mr.. Crouch has been
able TO secure the necessary capital to
proceed with his enterprise, his pre-
sentation of the assurance of the sue
cess of the road being such as to CON
vince capitalists that its bonds were
good property, 1t is a proof, not
only of his excellent business judy
ment, but of the confidence reposed in
him by men of large means, and he is
certainly to be congratulated. 1t is a
compliment to lola also to be regard
ed as a profitable field for an enter
prise requiring so much capital, and
depending so entirely on local sup
port.
There is no doubt whatever that the
construction of this road will contrib
ute. greatly to the growth of lola,
and the wish that nothing may arise
to hinder the rapid and successful
completion of it, will he general and
enthusiastic.

better or more profitable fruit, instead
of grating, bud them, do this few
days after a good rain in September.
| think budded trees are superior to
grated but grating is always done in
the nurseries, owing to the much
greater amount that can be done in
the same length of time also, grating
can be done in winter in doors and
budding only at the most favorable
time. Peach trees do not successfully
grow gratis so it becomes necessary to
bud them, the result is they sell for
double the price of apple trees. Plum
trees can be budded on peach roots
which prevents them from making
sprouts, dontt think they are as long
lifed as they would be on plum roots
Apple and pear can be worked on
ounce roots, which dwarf their size,
and brings them into early bearing,
very interesting as an experiment, but
not profitable. Many other kinds of
trees and shrubs can be budded
The tools and materials for budding
are more simple and less expensive
requiring no wax, only sharp knife
and a Irvine string. In conclusion
would recommend budding for all. ex-
cept making nursery stock, it is easier
cheaper and not so hard on the tree in
this dry climate
