Now this Is just the condition for the bark to be in for successful bud grafting and when the stock to be grafted upon is in this condition success Is almost sure to follow. August Is the season In many sections for of peaches, cherries, plums and other fruits and also roses and other ornamentals. One of the secrets of budding and grafting is to perform the operation quickly, before the sap of the plant gets a chance to oxidize, and as it is an old adage that practice makes perfect the professional grafter or budder nearly always scores more success than the amateur In this line. (Prepared by the United State Department of Agriculture.) headway In rat control reDefinite quires not the mere killing off of rats as they are encountered in markets, poultry yards, homes, or wherever they abound, but more especially the removal of those conditions that are responsible for the rats, according to the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture. ' Shut Off Food Supply. Rats require food and shelter,' and where these are lacking they cannot persist. Modern building construction and sanitation, as practiced in our more progressive cities, deprive rats of suitable living and breeding places, and shut off their usual food supply. clauses in local building ordinances and more strict regulations in local sanitary codes, including the proper collection and disposal of garbage and the Drevention of trash and waste accumulations on private premises, will do more to bring about permanent reduction Jn the number of rats than any other measure. Rat proofing of new buildings is entirely practicable and should be required in all cases. It would not be practicable, however, to require rat proofing of many of the older buildings. As long as this is true and as long as rats are able to obtain a food supply, it will be necessary to destroy them. But no real progress in rat control is possible when the destruction of these pests is left to the individual, for reinfestation from surrounding Infested premises is continuous. Arrangements for thoroughly treating larger areas are essential to successful results. Work Together. , A number of cities working in cooperation with and under the leadership of the biological survey are now carrying on systematic and scientific rat control with excellent results. This bureau will be glad to assist in planning and in some cases in carrying out projects. The problem of rat control is one of the community, even of the county, the state, and the nation. It is recognized as an important world problem, for not only do rats destroy millions of dollars worth of valuable foods and property, but they carry e disease wherever they go. bud-graftin- g Way to Clean Brooder by Using Heavy Paper to keep the floor of a brooder clean is to cover the floor with heavy paper. Over this scatter litter or cut straw. When the paper becomes soiled, it Is removed. litter and all, and burned or buried. It is much easier ro replace both the paper and litter than to scrub the floors when soiled. Then, too, the brooders are always dry, whereas if they must be scrubbed often, they are liable to be damp sometimes, and then look out for roup. Dampness will bring on roup in young chicks, and is sometimes so fatal and does its work of destruction so quickly, that one has no chance to use a remedy, if one can be found. It Is much more fatal to young chicks than to matured fowls. A good way Everbearing strawberries need lots of cultivating and hoeing. It is not necessary to keep the weeds out, but the ground should be worked frequently whether there are any weeds or not, as the everbearers do not like to be left standing in a bard soil even if there are no weeds. So keep the ground stirred so that there is a mulch of loose soil around them at all times if you want them to do their best for you. Everbearing strawberries make a fine addition to the menu on our table in the fall of the year, helping to make that much needed variety and change which some sage has said is spice of life. Profitable to Discard Misshapen Potato Seed filth-born- Bud Grafting on Trees Really Simple Process Many potato growers are finding it profitable to throw out the long, slender, or badly misshapen tubers from their seed. These tubers carry the virus of the spindle tuber disease. The yield from them is practically nothing. When buying seed, avoid any lot of seed which carries a large number of t these potatoes. Remember when buying seed potatoes, you are not buying a bushel of potatoes but rather you are making an investment in a crop. It may be a profitable one or it may be unprofitable. Good seed is worth more money, for it yields a higher return on the Investment. Bud grafting or budding, as it is often called, is the process of transplanting an eye or bud from one tree or shrub to another, and is really a simple process when once the oper ator knows how. run-ou- There are a few essential points however, that are frequently over looked, and one of the principal ones of these is to have the bark of the stock so that it slides freely.
