MEXICO CITY, May 5.-The resig.

his intention TO resign be made to

No authoritative confirmation OF

Diaz, recognizing the seriousness OF

direct answer to the demands OF

there will be no opposition on the

there he has reiterated this state

now coming into favor. Some varie-

roots Of varieties which are apparent

turns than the replanting of young
trees. 1t is not uncommon to see a
fairly good crop on the three-year-old
top Of a top-worked tree. Trees prop
erly worked-over give tops as de-
sirable and sometimes more SO than
trees OF the same variety grown from
first-class nursery stock.
Some years ago the fruit grower

can be easily grated or budded.
In grating young trees in the

early In the life of the tree as pos

framework can be secured the tree is
ready for top-working. The small

grating is well adapted to working
small stubs Of young trees. With this
method 1t may be possible to set the
cions after one years growth in the
field. but 1t is doubtful whether much
time will be gained by such practice.
The cion should be as near the size

In grating young trees It is a COM

wishes to keep. 1t is always well to
work a few extra stubs as accidents
may befall some OF the cions. The
season for top-grafting the young
rees is the same as for old trees.
Budding is a simple method OF put
ing a new top on young trees.

To ARRANGE Flowers,

Here are five golden rules which
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty Of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or. at the most. three different
kinds Of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form bold
contrast or. better still. a soft har-
mony. The aim Of the decorator should
be to show on the nowers-not the
vases that contain them: therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
