until the whistle had blown for the

game decided.
Miss Dyer proved the mainstay of
her team, and succeeded in running
up the largest number of individual
baskets. Miss Clair was not far be-
hind in agility and skill. For the girls
from the little Somerset town the
Misses White and Sally showed the
greatest dizziness in shooting the bas-
kets. A return match will be played

THE USEFUL sTEPMoTHER TREE
How the Agricultural Experts Make
It Play Nurse to New Fruits.

1t has come to pass that the step
mother tree has been induced to take
into her lap the weakling of the plant
world. The small plant of which she
is not the mother has been bound to
her breast. The vigor of her strong
limbs has been diverted into the
spindling stalk. That stalk had
grown prodigiously and accomplished
in two years what formerly took eight.
Such is one Of the most .recent ac-
complishments Of the Department OF
Agriculture. These men, who juggle
with living plants and make them do
things Of which Nature never
dreamed, have just accomplished the
march, the most advanced thing In

plant culture. 1t is to plant culture
wha the transposing of human organs
is to surgery. 1t has proved itself in
the last few years, particularly in the
work of developing new citrous fruits
that are neither lemons nor oranges
nor grapefruit.
Take for example the finger lime OF
Australia. This is an exceedingly
rare plant. A few years ago it had
not a representative in America. About
that time somebody sent three seeds
Of the finger lime to the Department
of Agriculture. These were planted
Immediately and all grew Being Of
the lemon family, the scientific grow
ers knew that 1t would require eight
years for the finger lime to come into
bearing under normal conditions.
Eight years is a long time to wait in
an experiment.
At just this time the new method of
diverting the vigor Of trees into a
Seeding was in the course Of being
established. One of the finger lime
seedlings was marched upon vigor-
Gus two-year- lemon tree. All the
strength of that tree was diverted into
the tender shoot. In two years in
the dollhouse it had ripened it's fruit
and the scientists were able to judge
Of its quality. Further, they were
supplied with additional seeds with
which to start new generations Of
plants.
This shortening of the fruiting time
of plants Is of inestimable value to the
scientific developer Of fruits But now
the time is to be cut to one fourth,
and the probabilities are that results
will be, in the coming generation,
multiplied hundredfold The march
is accomplished in this way: The
seeding is grown naturally until 1T is
three or four weeks old. 1t is little
plant Of but four or six leaves. Ma
ture has stipulated that many years
shall pass before 1t domestic maturity,
blossoms and bears fruit. Under the
march process this stripping is taken

up with a ball of earth about it's roots
sufficient to maintain its life for a few
weeks. Plant and earth are trans
ferred to a stalwart, vigorous tree of
a kindred species. This tree may be
two or three years old. Its roots are
deep. 1t is supplying sustenance for
a top that is hundred times as large
as the Seeding.
That is known as the stepmother
tree. The outer bark is scraped from
the side of it foot above the ground.
Similarly, the outer bark is scraped
from the Seeding. The two wounds
are bound together with soft cloth
bands. The ball of dirt on the root of
the Seeding Is bound to the side of
the nurse tree. In two or three weeks
the two trees will have grown togeth-
er. The dirt from the roots of the
Seeding may be removed. 1t is now
drawing it's vigor from it's stepmother.
Eventually it's roots are cut off
smoothly below the point of union.
The nurse tree has taken the little or
phan plant unto itself.
But this is not the end After the
union is thoroughly established the
plant juggler cuts the top off the
great, vigorous nurse tree. Then the
nourishment that was going into its
top is diverted to the single small
stem. and it's roots, which have been
establishing themselves deep in the
soil for years, send their vigor into
the small Seeding. The result is such
growth as Nature never knew. The
twig has such an abundance of nour-
ishment that it vents some Of 1t in
fruiting before its time. And this
early fruit is strong and vigorous,
showing the utmost possibilities of the
tree.-Uncle Sam Wonder Worker.
