With a • lean, sharp saw remove the
end or the branch to be grafted at a
point where the stub will not be over
two inches in diameter . Mu h - are
should be taken to prevent the bark
from splitting down on one side when
the branch is cut off.
Place the grafting hook si that the
chisel part is over the center of the
cut and drive it down with the ham
mer, splitting the stub into two parts
through the center. Remove the tool
and drive the wedge part into I he end
of the split stub, so as to hold the
edges open. Selo t a scion and make
a double wedge shaped cut on the low
er end of it. Make it wedge shaped
lengthwise, so as to tit into the cleft,
and wedge shaped horizontally, so
that the inside of the scion inserted
in the ■ b ft is almost cut away, while
the outside which comes in contact
with the cambium layer of the stub
forms all are of the original circle of

Argumenrs For and Against Planting
in the Orchard.
The large majority of California;
fruit growers do not grow market ibl
crops between the trees, says a re cut
bulietin of the United states depart
ment of agriculture. They believe in
clean culture, except where legumi-
nous crops are used to renovate and
fertilize the soil. From the standp ant
of the large commercial orchard and
the well to do proprietor this practice
has much to reccintend it. The plaut-
lug of such an orchard is regarded as
a long time investmeat Little if any
returns are expected for the first few
years, but when the trees approach
ihaturity and are in full bearing the
anticipated protius are supposed to
compensate the owner for all the lean
years Any treatment. therefor
which tends to roti the soil of its plant
food when the trees are young or tn
relard their growth is pretty certain
to lessen the yields and the conse-
quent profits in later years. Professor
E. J. Wiekson, director or the Califor-
nia experiment station, says,
“All intercultures are a loan made
by the trees to the orchardist The
term may be long and the rate of in-
terest low. but sooner or later the
trees will need restitytion to the soil
of the plant food removed by inter-
cropplug."
Notwithstanding all this, the poor
man must needs make the loan or tils
children may starve, says the bulletin.
The settler on a small tract set out to
young trees cannot afford. If his means
are limitd, to wait four or five years
for the first returns. He must produce
crops between the rows, and the ques-
tion for him to consider is how this
can be done with the least possible in-
jury to the trees. A pie Ifni supply
of water and a deep, rich soli are the
essentials of Intercropping in districts
that depend on a meager rainfall of 15
to 20 inches per annum, or where irri-
gation water is both scarce and costly,
the practice becomes of doubtful value
under any cir umstances. In most of
the frit distriets of the west water for
irrigation is still reasonably low in
price, and the extra amount required
for intereropping represents but a
small part of the net gains from such
crops.
