FIG. AII1-THE STOCK AND SCION READY 10
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 1t 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 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
tightly as possible, and in few hours
the insects will be eXterminated. Care
should be taken not to go near the
room with a 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
be so we'll 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. If 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 it, 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. 10. These are then
carefully fitted together and tied with
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 to 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 ola. when they may be

clover the stamens are at the bottom
cannot escape unaided. Plants Of this
nature are dependent on insects to
transfer pollen from one flower to an
other. In order to attract these insects
the flowers secrete sweet nectar,
which collects In the bottom Of the
tubes of which the flowers are CON-
posed.
Ants, flies, butterflies and bees are
very fond Of this nectar and in collect
ing it carry the pollen of one flower to
the stigma of another. Bees are most
important in doing this work because
they gather SO much more Of the nee
tar than do the other insects. They
often carry home some Of the pollen,
too, which can be seen sticking in yell
low balls to their hind legs, but enough
is always brushed off to fertilize the
flowers which they visit. The bios
SONS Of red clover are 80 large that the
short tongues Of ordinary honeybees
cannot reach to the bottom. 1t is upon
the larger bumblebees that this crop
depends for it's ability to produce seed.
Indeed, it is so entirely dependent
upon them that the crop of clover seed
is in direct proportion to the number
Of bumblebees in the neighborhood. 1t
Is anything but pleasant to run into n
big nest Of bumblebees with mower
or rake, but before you build fire
over them stop to think whether you
want crop of clover seed or not.
Some beekeepers are developing
strains of honeybees with exceptional
ly long tongues. Some Of these are
able to obtain honey from second crop
red clover, which has smaller blossoms
than the first crop. When these strains
Of bees become little better developed
and more widely distributed the USE
fitness of the bumblebee will be over.
In the case of small grain cross
fertilization is impossible, since the
flower is inside of closed hull Two
varieties of wheat may be planted In
adjoining fields or even in the same
field without the slightest danger OF

The Hearst papers publish the boast of one of their reporters that he suc- ceeded in getting into the Hartman household and observing some of the members of the family despite the precautions of doctors and guards to protect the sick man from intrusion and annoyance. The reporter admits in grief that, notwithstanding the de- ception and enterprise" he practiced in gaining entrance through the ser
 wants quarters, he was unable to get sight of MT. Hartman himself. But with a fine show. of pride in his achievement he writes of having seen the young ladies while unobserved himself. and of having overheard some of their talk with the physicians. He fails to explain what it was that pre- vented him from invading the sick room and holding up the stricken man for statement of his views from the door of death. Failure in that regard
 of course dimmed the luster of the

PHoEN1x, ARIZONA, SEPT. II. 1909.
PASSENGER RATES REDUCED.

The railway commission and the in terested railways reached an under standing yesterday whereby Central Arizona will have, within a few weeks, the benefit of a radical reduction of passenger rates This achievement. of great and lasting value to everybody that travels, abundantly justifies the creation of the railway commission And this result is an excellent illus tration of what may be accomplished by direct negotiation between the rail- ways and a commission representing the people.
 That the commission will accom- plish other things of value is not to be doubted. Not only will it gain in time other benefits in the matter of passenger rates and privileges affect ing Arizona, but the wide field of freight tariffs will yield results.
 In the matter of freight rates, traf- fife officers have for some time recog- nized that the rates applying to Ari- zona demanded revision as a matter of justice to our shippers. But they, like men in all other lines of busi- ness, are never in a hurry to lessen their profits
 And those who are impatient to see the railway commission show reduc- tions in freight rates have to remem- Der that the commission and the rail- ways encounter an embarrassment in the fact that cases covering sub stantially the entire freight situation as it applies to Arizona are already before the interstate commerce com mission. The commission of course wishes to do nothing that will weaken the cases pending before the federal commission, and the railways, natu- rally anxious to win in these eases, have the logic on their side when they contend that to grant to the railway commission the reductions which the commission thinks ought to be made, would weaken the railway side of the cases at Washington.
 While, therefore, the usefulness of the territorial commission may not be fully realized until after the cases at Washington are disposed of, there is consolation for our shippers fin the fact that unprejudiced observ CTS are quite generally of the opinion that the compliments in the cases re- ferred to will what least in large measure. The case heard at Phoenix last spring. for example, was excel lently prepared and presented, and contained so much merit that it is altogether.
 The real cloud on the horizon, so far as the situation at Washington is con- cerned, grows out of the recent de- cision by the United States circuit court at Chicago, which, if affirmed by the supreme court of the United States, may invalidate the law con- ferring rate making powers upon the interstate commerce commission. Should the functions of the interstate commerce commission be reduced to that of a merely advisory body, the territorial commission will have to step into the breach and seek to ac complish by negotiation the reduc- tions which justice demands.
