OF PEACH TREE
Be Done by Shield Budding or.
by Grating.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Sometimes it is desirable to change
the top Of a peach tree from one va
riety to another. A grove may find
after his orchard begins to bear that
he has a larger number of trees Of
some variety than he wants; a block
Of trees may prove to be some other
variety than the one ordered; or,
for some other reason, a variety is not
we'll adapted to the needs of the own
er. In such cases he may top-work the
tree either by budding or by grating
to a desirable variety.
The ordinary method of shield bud
ding is most commonly used for this
rpo If the tree to be tOp-wOrked
is not more than two or three years
old it is usually practicable to insert
the buds directly into the main limbs
well down toward the point where
they leave the trunk.
If the tree to be tOp-budded has
reached the age when the bark on the
main limb has become too thick and
firm to be manipulated readily for bud
ding, 1t is necessary first to head 1t
back somewhat, as when the top is to
be replaced with new growth of the
same variety, and later insert buds
on the new branches that develop
| after the tree has been d~eheaded.
When this course is followed the buds
| should be inserted In the new growth
as near the trunk as is practicable.
in order to have as large a portion OF
the top as possible of the new variety.
This is also desirable on account OF
the subsequent management of the
tree.
~Top-working is sometimes done by
grating instead of budding, the or
binary cleft graft being generally
used. However, budding is to be pre-
ferred, especially as the wounds made
in grating do not heal readily in the
case of the peach, though when prop
erly done the union of stock and
scion is generally strong enough to
make a fairly serviceabla tree. But
trouble resulting from difficulties in
the healing of the wound are likely
to occur.

The time of day chosen for distrib-
uting the poisoned bait is important.
In semiarid regions the bait should be
distributed in late afternoon or early
evening, just before the grasshoppers
ascend the plants on which they usual
ly pass the night. Apparently they are
hungry and thirsty at this time and
greedily take the bait if it be avail
able. In the moister portions of the
country, such as New England and
Florida, the bait is best applied in the
early morning.

Although Ordinary Middlings or
Alfalfa Meal May Be Substitute
ed-Sow Broadcast

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Poisoned bait has proved to be q
simple. reliable and cheap method of
destroying grasshoppers. 1t is made
up as follows: Wheat bran, twenty
five pounds; paris green or crude ar
senic, one pound; lemons or oranges,
six finely chopped fruits; low-grade
molasses, such as refuse from sugar
factories, or cattle molasses, known as
"black strap" two quarts; water, two
to four gallons. The bran and poison
are thoroughly mixed while dry, the
chopped fruits are then added, and
lastly the molasses and water are
poured over the bait and the whole
thoroughly kneaded. A coarse-flaked
bran is most desirable, although where
this cannot be obtained easily ordinary
middlings or alfalfa meal may be SUBJ
stituted.
Sirup or Molasses Essential.
Low-grade, strong-smelling strip or
molasses is essential to the entire sue
cess of the undertaking. Crushed ripe
tomatoes, watermelons or lines may
be substituted for the lemons or or
anges, if necessary. In California and
other semiarid regions water should
be added TO the bait at the rate of four
gallons to twenty-five pounds Of bran,
as In these climates the bait dries out
very rapidly and the extra moisture is
necessary in order to attract the grass
hoppers. Five to seven pounds of the
mixture should be estimated per acre.
Another Good Bait.
Another effective bait of similar
character is the modified Criddle mix
ture. This is prepared as follows {:

and square deal to ALL
3rd Strictest economy in the ap-

ton.
5th. For a Greater Minnesota,
and the rapid development of the
farming interests of our district, in
Guiding proper laws regulating the
distribution of commodities and the
marketing of farm products that will

mage tax law so drawn as to make
the great steel corporations bear
their just burdens of the government,
and other progressive legislation con-
sistent with the needs and require
ments of the district.
