INDUSTRIAL STOCK
DECLINE IS HALTED
Market Leaders Meet Sup
port After Heavy Wave
of Liquidation.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, May 28-The storm OF
selling which has been sweeping through
the stock market for the past week
appeared to have run its course, at least
temporarily, today. and prices rebounded
in brisk fashion under the influence Oh
strong buying support. few weak
spots cropped out here and there, pre-
Sumably in reflection of the closing out
of weakened marginal accounts, but
most of the industrial and railroad
leaders met strong support.
Call money renewed unchanged at
per cent and appeared to be in fairly
plentiful supply at that figure. Recent
liquidation undoubtedly has released
large volume of credit and probably
obviated the possibility of sharp
money pinch at the end of the
month. Barring any sharp revival OF
bullish activity within the next two
duction in brokers' loans this week, pre-
liminary estimates ranging from $780,
100000 to $500, 100000.
Squeezing of the shorts who had
overstayed their market in some OF the
trading favoriteS caused violent upturns
in some instances. United Aircraft
rose III points, Federal Mining & Smelt-
ing 10 and Case Threshing went from
$685. to 3l5l2. In addition, Common
points, while Columbia Graphophone,
Johns Manville, American Can and
North American all gained S points or
So The market closed strong.
Mixed price movements took place
at the opening. General Motors opened
with block of $4,000 shares at 70A
unchanged from last nights close. ST.
Louis Southwestern and Columbia Gas
showed initial gains Of 134 points EACH
o.
Truck dropped l "a and Ingersoll Rand /.
Some distress selling came into the
market overnight as result of the I'M
pairment of weakened marginal &C
counts, but strong buying support was
provided for many of the industrial
leaders, and the general market moved
irregularly higher in the early trading.
Most of the leading commission houses
urged their customers to stay on the
side lines or limit their commitments
to scale buying of few high-grade in
dustrials and rails of proved earning
power.
Operators for the advance derived
some encouragement from the fact that
the condition statement of member
banks in the Federal Reserve system. as
of May %. showed that recent liquida-
ton in the market was rapidly releas-

SUSPECT TAMPERING
IN WRECK OF TRAIN
Main Line of Railroad Blocked
When Express Freight Is
Thrown From Track.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, october IL
Malicious tampering with the rails, po-
lice and railroad authorities believed to-
day, derailed a West-bound PennSyl-
vania express freight train miles east
of here late last night, blocking traffic
on the main line of the railroad.
Twelve cars loaded with merchandise
we're overturned and the locomotive left
the rails, ripping up the tracks for
three-quarters of a mile. w. G. Ullery,
Bradford, Ohio. engineer, and II. j.
Hamper. Columbus, Ohio, fireman, were
slightly injured.
Armed railroad guards carried by the
train blocked the tracks Immediately
after the wreck to prevent any attempt
at robbery.
Rail bolts, which officials say showed
signs of having been tempered with,
were preserved for use in an investiga-
ton. which will be made by railroad au-
thorities. The train was bound from
Columbus. Ohio, to st. Louis.

plants by seed. bulbs. tubers. buds,
CRAFTS and cuttings. Seed propagation
is, of course, well understood by every
gardener. and so also are the use of
bulbs, tubers and rooted parts of older
plants. Years ago the propagation of
plants by cuttings. budding and graft
ing also fell to the duty of the home
gardener, but now the nurseryman has
relieved the amateur of this task and
in general can supply young trees and
bushes at such reasonable prices that
it does not pay to fuss with them at
home.
Certain plants, especially of the ever
green type, are still quite expensive.
and many suburban home owners have
been deferred from the use of ever
green's Just for this reason. c. H. Han
son. Capitol View, Md, found that
young rooted cuttings or newly grated
plants could be bought for very much
less than large plants. He purchased
enough for his needs and set them in a
little nursery, as illustrated. Here he
was able to feed the soil generously and
supply water when needed. The plants
grew rapidly, and by the time the soil
about his house was improved sufficient
~ to grow plants well the plants were
ready. What is equally important. the
plants did not suffer in moving, be-
cause the roots were disturbed very lit
tie. Other gardeners have adopted this
plan successfully. Boxwoods and other
slow growers may very we'll be raised in

GRATING OF PLANTS

The propagation or increase of plants
by inserting cut shoot, commonly
known as scion, in the tissues of an
other plant is an old practice, the origin
of which is lost in antiquity. II the two
plants are varieties of the same species
that is, are closely related to one an
other-and the work is done at the
proper season, which is from now until
leaves appear, the two woods may be
expected to unite and thereafter grow
as one plant. The scion will, however
always bear its own kind of fruit, and
the stock, the horticultural name for
the plant receiving the scion, will always
bear its own kind. There are, however,
exceptions now and then. For example,
DR.. A. j. Heinicke of Cornell University
found that in apples the scion would
sometimes influence the season of ripen-
ing of the apples on the stock. AS a
rule, plants must be closely related to
be successfully grated one upon the
other. AS an instance it is cited that
pears grated on apples will thrive for
q while. but never flourish
Grating for the amateur gardener
usually resolves itself into the use of
the simple cleft graft. perhaps the
easiest of all types and especially we'll
adapted for top work in fruit trees. See
illustration. Limbs of considerable
thickness may be cut off transversely,
choosing a smooth section between
twigs The branch stub is then split
directly through the center, either by
saving. in the case of large branches,
or with chisel or knife. The split is
then held open just wide enough to adj
nit the scion, or two scionS, as are usu-
! No.
when choice of the stronger one can be
made. The bases of the scions should
be cut wedge shape with the aid of
sharp knife. The bright green under
bark of one edge of the scion must be
brought into direct contact with the
comparable underbark of the stub. BY
so doing the active growing tissue.
known as the cambium, will be brought
together. or near enough together, to
enable quick contact and union. AS
soon as the sciQns are placed, the wedge
should be withdrawn, and the pressure
of the contracting sides will hold the
scions tightly in place.
All cut surfaces must then be coveret'
with grating wax or paraffin to ex-
clude air and prevent drying of the
tender growing tissues. Grating wax
may be secured from the hardware
store or seed house. or may be made
by heating together four parts of resin.
two parts of tallow and one part of
beeswax. This wax may be applied
with a brush while still warm or used
like putty, first greaSing the hands with
vaseline or other similar substances.
Grating is more in the nature of
hobby than necessity with the ANA
teur. Five, ten or even more kinds of
apple may be grown on one tree, and
in this way new varieties may be tested
quickly. Not only woody plants, but
soft plants, such as tomato. potato,
geranium, etc. may be grated Com
mercially. grating is a very important
process, many of our fruit trees and
choice ornamentals being increased in
this manner

SEED DISINFECTION

One subject that the gardener hears
good deal about nowadays through
extensive advertising and otherwise is
the use of various antiseptic compounds,
particularly of mercury. for treating
seeds to free them of disease spores that
may be attached to the surface. Dr..
w H. Martin in the New Jersey Hor-
ticultural Society annual report for
1927 offers some very timely and sem
sible advice on seed disinfection. The
principal point. according to DR.. Martin
is to buy healthy vigorous seed and 1t
will not require treatment. Where
nearly disease seed was treated the
gains were insignificant, If any. With
actually diseased seed the results were
in favor of the use of certain mercury
compounds
Much of the growth stimulation
claimed by manufacturers could in
many cases be secured from simply
soaking the seeds in lukewarm water
for few hours prior to planting. Lima
bean seeds were positively injured by
treatment of organic mercury COM
pounds. Formaldehyde gave as good
results in sterling soil in the hotbed
as did the more expensive proprietary
compounds.
The one lesson that the home gar
dener can deduct from these sugges-
lions is the ACCESSIBILITY of purchasing
seed from a reliable seed specializing
firm and not picking up an envelope OF
seed here and there.
