TOP WORKING OF PEACH TREE
Change Of One Variety to Another May
Be Done by Shield Budding or
by Grating.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment Of Agriculture.)
Sometimes 1t is desirable to change
the top of a peach tree from one va
riety to another. "A grower 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
well 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
purpose. II the tree to be top-worked
is not nor 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-hudded has
reached the age when the bark on the
main limb has become too thick and
firm to be manipulated readily for bud
ding, it is necessary first to head it
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 deheaded.
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 unicn of stock and
scion is generally strong enough to
make a fairly serviceable tree. But
trouble resulting from difficulties in
the healing of the wound are likely
to occur.

Although Ordinary Middiings Or

ed-SoW Broadcast

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of A%griculture.)
Poisoned bait has proved to be a
simple. reliable and cheap method of
destroying grasshoppers. It 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 knea.ed. A cOarse-flaked
bran is most desirable, although where
this cannot be obtained easily ordinary
mid4ings or alfalfa meal may be sub.
stituted.
Sirup or MoIasses Essential.
Low-grade. strong-smelllng strip or
molasses is essential to the entire sue
cess OF he 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 sever 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 !:
Fresh horse droppings, one-half bar
rel paris green or crude arsenic, one
pound finely chopped oranges or lem
ons, six to eight fruits; water sufficient
to make a moist but not sloppy mash !;
mix thoroughly. AS most people OBJ

Distributing Bats.

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 Il 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.

Poisoned bats are distributed ovcr
