Last Christ mas, Rev. W. L. Davidson received a gallon can of what he thought was oil for his automobile. Last week he decided to lubricate. The car ran three blocks and stopped. Mr. David son went home to test the oil. It look ed good. He tasted it. It was maple syrup. i People often wish to change fruit 1 pud nut trees from undesirable to ds i tiraLIe varieties. The question is ol- ten r?i'ed "When should budding and ' grafting Le done?" The condition ot the scion or bud wood has a good deal to do with the answer to thi3 question. la general we might say to graft in th? j spring and bud in the late summer or i iall. However, there are exceptions to both of these rules, says Prof. S. B. Jchn;pn, Assistant Horticulturist of the U. of A. Agricultural Experiment Station. . Grafting over trees can begin late in winter and continue as long as the scions can be held in a perfectly dor mant condition. To keep scions dor mant they should be cut in winter and buried in a shaded place on the north side of a building where they will keep cool and moist but not wet. By selecting a good place to bury the J scions, cue can keep them dormant for several weeks ccrly in tho spring when they might naturally be growing and by placing sciens in cold storagb at a temperature from 30 to 40 degrees they acn be kept dormant until June. Budding can be done at any time during the growing Reason of the plant when well matured, dormant buds are available. Early , in the season dor- Lmant buds are obtained in the same manner as dormant scions. " In sum mer and fall the Lr.d, at the base" of each old leaf is mature ana jef,, dor mant. Those on short jointed wootl are better than those on long jointed wood. Sap sproutbuds are tB be awkl ed as are the buds on the top of His twigs. Only young wood 1ms satis factory buds. ' Buds inserted in the spring made a zood growth the same year. This is generally true to a greater extent with scions. Buds inserted in summer will grow in a few weeks after ' taking," but the wood will not ripen well and budding at this season is not generally recommended. ,But inserted in the late summer or fall remain dormant over winter. Buds take better on young wood than on old wood. If one has not good vigorous wood cn which to bud this fall, the best course is to graft next spring or during the winter, cut the trees back severely and a year from next fall select some new branches on which to bud. The cleft graft is very satisfactory for apples, grapes and olives, although other forms of grafting and budding are successful. Peach, plum, and apri cot are better budded although the side and bark grafts are also successful. The wood of these trees are too brit tle for the cleft graft. Citrus trees can be top worked by practically aii$ method but budding is preferred. For nut trees a bark graft or "patch' bud is preferred. They are difficult trees to top work. . U!
