FIG. XIII-THE STOCK AND SCION READY TO
BE UNITED.
method Of selecting small grain is by
means Of the tanning mill. By run
ming through three or four times as
much seed as is needed all the small
grains may be sieved out and the light
ones blown over, leaving only the heav-
lest, strongest ones for planting.
Grain that is intended for seed should
be stored carefully in order that it may
go through the winter uninjured. The
chief enemies of stored seed are mois-
ture. insects and rats and mice. The
seed should be dry when stored and
kept where moisture cannot gain ac-
cess to it. Dry seed will stand almost
any amount of. freezing without injury.
There are a number of insects that
damage seed grain by burrowing into
the germ. If the seed room is tight,
they may be killed by fumigating with
carbon disulphide used at the rate of
pound to each thousand cubic feet of
space. Place this in an open dish on
top Of the seed, close the room as
pOoolDlt, anu III u lew
the insects will be exterminated. Care
should be taken not to go near the
room with light, as the gas Is ex-
plosive. This same treatment is also
fatal to rats and mice, unless they
have some way of escaping from the
room. If possible the seed room should
lie so well built that these pests can
not get into It.
The second method of plant propa-
CATION is by division-that is, by plant
ing parts of the plant itself. Potatoes
are propagated In this way almost en-
tirely. II small willow and poplar
branches are stuck into the ground.
they will grow into trees. Apple and
other fruit trees are propagated either
by grating or budding. Apple trees
may be raised from seed. but the
fruit of Seeding trees is usually worth
less. By taking part of the tree and
growing another from 1t, it will, Of
course, bear the same kind of fruit.
Grating consists of joining pieces
Of small branches or scions of the tree
which is to be propagated to pieces Of
roots or stocks. The roots of yearling
seedlings are used for stocks. The
scions, which should be about the size
Of lead pencil. should be cut In the
fall and packed in sand. The grating
can be done at any time during the
winter. All that is necessary is to cut
the lower end of the scion and the up
per end of the stock at an angle, as
shown in Fig. 13. These are then
carefully fitted together and tied with
a little common string. The essential
point is to be sure to have the cam
blum layer Of the scion join that Of
the stock. This cambium layer is the
thin. light brown portion between the
bark and the wood. 1t is the point
where growth takes place.
The completed graft, which should
be eight 70 ten inches long. is again
packed IN sand. In the spring the
CRAFTS are planted In row In the
garden and left. until they are two
or three years old. when they may be
transplanted to their permanent place
In the orchard.
