Southern Cross Preparing
for Hop on Last Leg
to Australia

SUVA, Fiji Islands, June t.
The Southern Cross rested on
Naielai Beach tonight awaiting
an ebb tide to permit the hep-off
for Australia.
An unruly surf prevented the
plane starting last night and
also the fact that all supplies of
gasoline were not taken aboard.
When the Government steamer
Pioneer arrived with 500 gallons
of gasoline, yesterday afternoon
transporting of the drums to the
shore was rendered difficult and
slow by the rough-.sea. So great
was the delay that dusk found
the plane only partially fueled
and the tide coming in.
The craft was completely fuel
ed today.
Capt. Kingsford Smith said he
expected to be in Australia in
about 20 hours after his take-off
from here.

ORGANIZING FIELD
AGAINST FAVORITE

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 7.
The opponents of Secretary
Hoover for the Republican Presi-
Dental nomination look to the
Watson, Curtis and other favor
lite son delegations with the hope
of adding. their votes to those for
Gov Lowden, who will enter
the convention with about ESQ
votes. How long the Lowden
votes will remain with him ap-
pears problematical, but the
Lowden boosters pin their hopes
on cementing his strength early
and holding it intact to Illustrate
Hoover.
The Lowden forces also look to
many delegations yet to arrive,
including the powerful and
doubtful Pennsylvania contingent
to support their movement
against Hoover, who is admitted
ly the favorite against the field
They hope that new alignment
may be created in favor of Low
den.
The Hoover opposition likewise
is convinced that President Cool
idge will receive considerable
acknowledgment on the first bal
lot which might contribute to
holding Hoover off.
Many conflicting factors enter
into the discussion at this stage.
One of them is the draft Cool
idge' movement which refuses to
die even though there exists a
general state of mind among the
delegations that such plan is
futile.
Another factor in the situa-
tion is the fact that while the
Hoover forces seem to be solid
cohesion among the combined OPP
there appears to be no similar

Grating Trees.
Grating has long held a fascination
for fruit growers and gardeners. The
comparative ease with which a twig or
scion of one variety may be made to
grow on the root or wood of another
variety Of the same species has made 1t
possible for amateurs as we'll as pro-
feSSional gardeners to utilize this meth
cd of propagation. Often grating de-

periods throughout the season. Grating
has. fol- tunately. practical use as well
as appeal to the fancy. Many varieties
of fruits are self-sterile when planted by
themselves-thati is, the flowers are Of
themselves unable to set fruit. Some
times this is due to poor pollen and
sometimes to failure of the pollen to
grow satisfactorily in its own flower. A
tree in this unfortunate condition may
be made fruitful by grating in scions
of other varieties which bloom the same
time and have good pollen. This prac-
tice Is resorted to to great extent by
commercial growers who have been I'M
lucky enough to plant large blocks Of a
single unfruitful variety. The amateur
can well resort to the same expedient.
Again some one has bought tree

named and undesirable. This may be

over in three or four years into de-
sirable tree. Grating holds many pos
sibilities.
It used to be thought that early
Spring was the only time for grating.
but It Is now realized that the operation
may be done at any time during the
dorment or resting period. A sharp
knife. chisel for large limbs. some
grating wax and little care are the
necessary. requirements. The limb to
be grated Is cut of squarely and neatly
sertion of the scions The scion Is a
piece Of last years growth. two or three
buds in length. with lower end beveled
gradually and top cut just above a bud.
The scion must be placed so that its
green underbark comes In touch with
the green underbark of the limb. The
crevice held open during the operation
Is then allowed to close tightly. Soft
wax is pressed about the cut surfaces to
exclude air. Healing is accomplished
rapidly and a few days after normal
buds expand those on the new scions
will start slowly. With patience and
care. the beginner may expect fair
proportion Of success from the very
start. Apples and pears are more
readily handled than the stone fruits,
such as plum and cherry. Grating wax
may be purchased at this season from
many Of the local hardware and seed
stores.
Electric Hot Beds.
The time may come when the home
gardener will add the electrically
heated hot bed to the rapidly growing
list Of electric accessories in the home.
In regions where electricity Is relatively
cheap. such hot beds are already in use
IN a moderate way. and last year one
Of our agricultural experiment stations
located at Pullman. Wash. conducted
tests to determine hte efficiency and
cost of building and operating cleo
trically heated beds. as compared with
manure heated beds.
The initial cost of construction of the
electric bed was high. but computed
over three-year period of use, costs
Of the electric and manue-heated beds
were approximately equal The electric
bed had several advantages. Heat was
more easily controlled and could be
turned on or of when needed. Opera
ton was much easier for there was no
heavy load of manure to be forked over.
Cleanliness was also a factor in favor
of the electric bed. The principal point
in favor of the electric bed Is really the
great difficulty in obtaining fresh horse
