TREE GRATING

The art of tree grating is very
simple and if better understood by
tree planters of the Northwest, many
barren and improbable fruit trees
could be changed to prolific producers,
yielding good crops of delicious and
valuable fruit.
Or you may have a favorite apple
tree on your lawn, to which you
might want to graft five or six ad-
ditional varieties. There are many
trees like this in different commun-
tiles, a source of much profit and
pleasure to their owners.
Anyone who can white a stick
can make a successful graft by fol-
lowing a few simple rules. Free
instructions and the formula for
mixing grating wax may be OBJ
tanned by writing the Sheltergreen
Nurseries, Albert Lea, Mimi.

Nashville, Tenn.-At least 1000
persons had been driven from their
homes or were reported to have
left the flooded sections of North and
East Nashville due to the Cumber-
land river food, according to police
headquarters estimates and survey OF
the inundated regions. Relief work
began when families awoke to find
themselves marooned and is being
continued by hundreds of volunteers
under direction Of the police depart
ment. Residents in the affected area
generally were forewarned and en-
abled to escape the rising waters, and
in most cases the household effects
were moved and stored.
The city temporarily was assuming
liability for stores of coal and provi-
sions for the refugees. There are
numerous cases where canoes had to
be brought into action for rescue
work. The Cumberland river reached
81 feet, IL above flood stage. Through
out central and western Tennessee,
where the Tennessee, Obien and other

by one year, the army heads ap-
parently taking the stand that the
time for training was now so short
that young Fren chmen needed every
available hour to become good SOL

the cancellation of all permits and
furloughs for soldiers to participate

an international status, tut that ma

would be taboo in the army because
they result in the loss of too much
