Spring is the Time to Make
Final Preparations

onto the stock care should be taken to
see that the lower end of the cion Is
attached on the stock and not allow
the cion to be placed upside down.
This precaution may sound snperfluous
to some and yet my experience with
n great many students has taught me
to be sure and caution them on this
point.
For the cleft graft branch of the
tree is carefully sawed off at the de.
sired point for grating. With graft
ing chisel the limb Is split open suf
ficiently wide to insert the cion sticks
whose lower ends have been cut 10 a
wedge shape, leaving the outer side Of
the wedged part somewhat wider than
the inner part. Two cions are usually
inserted on each limb over two inches
in diameter. This Is to double the
chances Of success for II both grow
the weaker one is cut out the next
year.
Now the most Important part Of the
operation pertains TO the necessity OF
having the cambium layer OF the cion
fit the cambium layer of the stock.
The cambium layer is that tissue which
lies just between the bark and the
wood. 1t Is the active region Of
growth Of the stem. II the cambium
layers of the stuck and clon do not I'll
II Is useless to hope for success. How.

his work with both hope and conf.
denoe. Years Of experience with stu.
dents doing cleft grating for the first
time have shown that they ordinarily
have about 30 percent success.
The operation fer the splice graft
Is simple. A long slipping cut Is made
on both the smnll stock twig and the
cion and they are Joined uogerner 50

Fruit growers all over he West,
and particularly the owners of the
small orchards, are becoming lncreas-
mgiy interested each year in the sub
iect of top-wo.king some Of their fruit
trees. Now ~ the time for the final
wages OF preparation for this import
ant work this spring.
The top-working of trees is simply
the grating into the tops OF fruit trees
Of another variety. Unless this variety
~ better In many respects than the
variety already being produced by the
tree II would NJ course not be worth
while to go to the trouble of making
the change. All over the older settled
portions of the West there are count.
less old fruit trees, especially In the
home orchards, which bear inferior
fruit of very poor and almost worthless
varieties. At best in many cases they
are varieties that were deemed good
at one time but which have now been
superseded in public favor by newer
and better varieties.
The tree to be grated should have
a sound. healthy trunk and the lower
parts OF the main branches should be
vigorous and In good condition. II
does not pay to graft onto a decaying
or unsound or diseased tree. at least
not II the trunk and lower parts Of the
branches are affected.
The tree or part which receives the
graft is called the stock and the twig
or part which is inserted Is called a
the fan before the grating is to be
one In the spring. As matter Of
Dact, the cions can be obtained any
urue after the wood has matured and
tho leaves have failed in the fan and
before the buds begin to swell the next
spring, providing the cions ON the trees
do not become injured by the cold
weather OF winter.
In selecting and securing the cions
get them from trees of known produc.
tiveness. II there are none Of the de.
sdrel varieties from which to select
cions In the helghborhOod go TO an
orchard where they may be obtained.
Select only the young wood that was
produced the past summer. 1t Is usu-
ally more vigorous In the outer and

venience after vigorous growth OF the
trees has commenced.
The most common and satisfactory
method OF grating The older trees Is
by the cleft graft. This method is
suitable for branches two inches and
over In size. A simple method of
grafting the small twtgs about the
same size as the cion wood is by the
splice or tongue graft. Whichever
method Is used, the preparation Of the

plants VIII gradually reach II.
Elements In Fertilizers.
The three main elements OF plant
food contained In commercial fertilizers
are phosphoric acid, nitrogen. and
potash. Nitrogen has the effect Of
stimulating the leaf growth. and phos-
phoric acid and potash have tendency
to increase root growth and to mature
the seeds Of the plants. Root crops and
potatoes require q reasonable amount
Of potash. Corn, beans, and others Of
the garden crops, which are grown for
their pods or seeds, want sufficient
supply Of phosphoric acid, while let
tuce. celery, swiss chard. and others
Of the salad or leaf crops require
plenty Of nitrogen. The safest plan.
however, Is to apply an all-round or
complete fertilizer having approx
mately 8 per cent phosphoric acid, 4
or per cent nitrogen. and 2 or 8 per
cent potash on land that IL to be de-
voted to general garden crops.

RICH SOIL SURE
TO Get RESULTS
Danger in Use Of Too Much Com
mercial Fertilizer; May In
iure the Plants.
AS TOP OR SIDE DRESSING
May BE Mixed With Sol! Along Rows
During the Period Of Growth
Mixtures Containing Much
Nitrogen Are Favored.

A limited quantity OF high grade COM
mercial fertilizer can be used to ad-
vantage on garden soils even where a
considerable supply Of barnyard
manures have been applied. Com
nercial fertilizers act quickly and can
be used to special advantage where 1t
Is desired TO mature crops In a short
period of time.
The best results can be obtained by
the use OF fertilizer on land that Is
well filled with organic matter. Eow-
ever, fair results may be obtained by
the use of fertilizer on land that has
not been MANFRED and which Is de-
icient In organic matter, according to
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
The great danger In the use Of COM
mercisl fertilizers Is that too large
quantities may be applied and cause
injury to the plants. 1t must be borne
In mind that commercial fertilizers are
very concentrated form Of plant food
and, therefore, should be used In
moderation.
Amount Needed In Garden.
Market gardeners frequently use as
much as 1000 pounds of commercial
fertilizer on an acre of ground. This
would be at the rate of about 4 or s
pounds to a plot of ground 10 feet in
each direction or 100 square feet. AS
suming that the average backyard
garden is about 80 by 60 feet In size.
50 to 20 pounds of standard, high-grade
truckers fertilizer would be all that
would he safe to apply on garden Of
those dimensions. Under most con-
ditions 80 pounds will be the maximum
amount to use.
Commercial fertilizers are usually put
up In sacks containing 100, 1877 or 200
pounds, and good plan would be for
two or more gardeners to join together
In buying fertilizer.
Methods Of Application.
There are two or three methods OF
applying commercial fertilizers. The
first and most common Is by scattering
the fertilizer broadcast over the land
after II has been plowed and narrowed,
then giving the soil a second and even
a third narrowing to mix the fertilizer
with 1t thoroughly. Another method
Is to apply the fertilizer underneath the
rows, the plan being to open the fur
rows, scatter In the fertilizer, then,
by means Of a slngle-shOvel pillow or
wheel hoe, thoroughly mix the fertilizer
with the soil in the bottom of the fur
row. The surface soil Is then re-
turned and no seeds are planted for
few days until the fertilizer becomes
thoroughly Incorporated with the
soil.
The third method OF applying com
percial fertilizers Is to use them as
App or side dressing along the rows
<6Nants during the period of growth.
Nitrate of soda and fertilizer mixtures
containing considerable percentage
of nitrogen are generally used for this
purpose. When using fertilizer as
side dressing care should be taken that
It is not applied too near the base OF
the plants, but at n little distance from
the row. and then II should be cult
