TREES GlRDLED BY RODENTS
With Wax Eventually Heal Over
Injury to Trunk.

Bridgegrafting will often save trees
that have been girdled by mice. 1t Is
best to do it In the early spring, but
may be tried with good results even
after the buds begin to swell.
Pieces Of round wood are sharpened
Mt each end. Then openings are made
in the bark both above and below the
girdled place, with half-inch chisel.
The shoots are then bent outward, the
bending making enough pressure to
force the points of the shoots into the
chisel cuts and hold securely. The
shoots can then be given additional
strength with grating wax. The
shoots will grow with the tree and
heal over the wound in a few years.
These connections help the tree to
live until nature can help In healing
over the wound. About four or five
bridge CRAFTS are used on small trees
and more If the trees are very valu-
able and there Is time for the work.

tons only by starting the plants in
doors. Garden specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture say 1t is easy to grow plants in
doors by sowing small packet of to-
matO seed in a cigar box filed with
mellow soil about six or eight weeks
before the usual time Of the last kill
ing frost in spring. The seeds should
be covered about one-Quarter inch and
the soil kept moderately watered and
the plants will generally come up in
less than a week after planting the
seeds. Keep the box near a window
where 1t will get plenty of sunlight,
and turn 1t around each day to make
the plans grow straight.
When the plants begin to crowd
each other, which will be in about Is
days after they come up. secure a
large, fiat box, say three inches deep
and just long enough to fit into the
window, fill it with rich, sifted soil
and transplant, giving each plant
about two inches Of space. With
proper care to turn the box from time
to time and also to keep the soil mod
erately watered the plants will be
about four inches high, strong, and
stocky when the weather has warmed
enough to make 1t safe to set them

Warmth Is Required.
Tomatoes naturally grow In q warm
climate and require plenty Of warmth
from the start. The plants should be
kept at about llving-room tempera-
Gre until few days before they are

should be gradually exposed to out.
door conditions to harden them. After
they are set In the garden 1t may be
necessary to cover them for a few
nights with several thicknesses Of
newspaper to protect them from the
cold.
Tomatoes require a moderately rich
soil, not too rich, but just such soil
as will grow good crop Of corn or
potatoes. A little well-rotted manure
can be worked into the spot where
each plant is to be set and table
spoonful of high-grade fertilizer sprin-
killed. over space about one foot in
diameter and mixed with the soil will
aid in giving the plant good start.
Planting distances will depend upon
whether the plants are to be pruned
to single stem and trained to stakes
or are to be allowed to grow, accord
ing to their natural habit Of spread
ing over the ground. If the plants
are to be trained they may be set in
rows as close as three feet, and spaced
IS inches In the row. II they are not
to be trained the plants should he set
three to four feet apart in each direc-
ton.

CATER TO MARKET DEMANDS
Shipment Of Unsatisfactory Stock by
Growers Seriously Affects
Prices Offered.

Shippers of potatoes would profit by
needing market demands and prefer
cnces, say specialists Of the bureau Of
markets, United States Department of
Agriculture. Dealers and consumers,
they find. do not desire badly cut,
mashed, frosted, or decayed potatoes,
or those damaged by sunburn, blight,
dry rot, or an excess Of scab or second
growth. Markets frequently are over
loaded, Il Is said, prices seriously af-
fected, and unnecessary losses suffered
by growers because Of the shipment Of
such unsatisfactory stock.

stock little way down and insert a
scion at each outer edge-taking care
that the inner bark of the scion fits
exactly against the inner bark of the
stock.
Trim the scions wedge-shaped, as
shown in the picture; insert them &C.
curately; the wedge should be a trife
thicker on the side which comes in
contact with the stocks bark. Last.
ly, apply grating wax. Each scion
should be long enough to have two or
three buds, with the lower one placed
as shown. The "spring" of the cleft
holds the scions securely in place, and
therefore tying should be unneces-
sary. II both scions In a cleft grow,
one may later be cut away.
You can't graft pear or an apple
on cherry or plum tree, nor vice
versa. The stone fruits and the
pomaceous fruits are separate fami-
lies and refuse to intermarry.
One authority likes to make his
grating wax this way: One pound of
resin, one-half pound Of beeswax and
one-quarter pound Of tallOw, melted
together and applied with a brush.
Keep in an iron pot; heat for use
when wanted. He says: TT is best
to use scions which were cut very
early this spring or last. fall; they
can be kept in moist sawdust or

this theory Is correct the weed-cOntrOl
which the farmer is confronted. Mod
ern agricultural science has discovered
much concerning the control and Grad
ication of these .nsidiOus land thieves.
The wild onion, for example, was con-
sidered hopeless problem from Mas
sachusetts to Georgia, and as far west
as Missouri and Arkansas until weed
specialist in the Department of Agri-
culture discovered that the plant pro-
duced two kinds Of bulbs. One type
was soft-cOated, and formed the new
plants during late summer and fall;
the other was hard so that 1t was I'M
harmed by winter, and ready to form
the new plants In the spring. With
this to guide them the specialists
proved that the wild onion can be con-
trolled by blowing deeply in the late
fall to destroy the plants originating
from the soft-coated bulbs, and by
planting an intertlled crop, such as
plants that come up from the hard
coated bulbs.
Weedy roads.des are constant
sources Of trouble for the adjoining
farm lands. The seeds are carried
miles by automobiles, horses, and pass
Ing wagons, so that they become a
menace to the whole community. II
nothing better can be done with the
roadside weeds they can be moved
twice a year. This treatment, IL well
kept up, will effectively check the trou-
bic. Sometimes a roadside can be con-
verified into lawn, or 1t can be used
for crops, to the pride and profit of
the farmers whose land 1t borders.
Control Measures.
The underlying principles of weed
control are shown in these rules by
the specialists Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture:
Use pure seed.
Rotate the farm crops.
Utilize pasturng animals, particu-
larly sheep and goats, in keeping
weeds down.
Never allow weeds to mature. Now
before the seeds have ripened.
Use intertilled crops, and cultivate
often.
Kill weeds while they are young by
means of a harrow or a weeder.
Compost manure for two months be-
fore using II 1t contains weed seeds.
Practice surface cultivation after
the crops have been removed in the |
fall.
Use smother crops; buckwheat, soy
beans, cowpeas, velvet beans, clover, |
etc.
Chemical poisons often are helpful. |
Prepare the seed beds thoroughly to |
give the crop start over the weeds
Use winter cover crops.
Hunt out the scattered weeds. and |
kin them.
Now dangerous grasses and burn |
the dry cuttings.
Small patches Of perennial weeds
can be killed by covering for the en-.
tire season with building paper, boards
or other materials to exclude the light |
Kill the roots of perennial weeds by /
keeping the tops cut down.
Grow alfalfa, when practicable, on
