IT STAN OS ALONE 
Four main factors affect the 
growing of a crop—weather, 
soil, labor and seed. Nature 
provides weather and soil, but 
you must supply labor and seed 
—and you must start right with 
good seed. 
You and Nature are partners 
sharing responsibility for the 
coming harvest. Be fair with 
your partner. Buy good seed.

Grafting or Budding Plums 
What is the best way of grafting the 
large blue plums, root-grafting or top¬ 
grafting? Would it be ail right to graft 
the large blue plum in the Wild Goose, 
red, or the old-time yellow plum? Would 
they sprout the same after being grafted? 
Dillon’s Mills, Va. >T. u. w. 
One variety of plum can readily be 
grafted or budded on another variety 
; with excellent results. Whenever a slow- 
growing variety is budded on a fast-grow¬ 
ing sort the stock or root will tend to 
send up suckers or shoots from the base, 
which must be removed, tin the other 
lulnd. if a fast-growing variety is budded 
on a slow-growing sort, the lop or scion 
will he dwarfed slightly. Budding and 
grafting arc both described fully in a re¬ 
cent number of The II. X.-Y., pages 310 
and 314. t. ii. t. 
Curculio on Cherry 
What can I do fnr my cherry trees to 
make them boar? A Black Tartarian 
stands at the corner of the garden, in sod. 
It is 12 years old, has always been 
sprayed and cared for, and blossoms free¬ 
ly. Most of the blossoms fall, and the 
little fruit that sets soon drops. We have 
never bad a quart of cherries from it. 
Early Richmond, standing near it, al¬ 
ways bears quantities of the most perfect 
fruit. A large old Tartarian tree 150 ft. 
away nearly always bears a large crop, 
although it has never been sprayed or 
cared for in any way; stands in sod. sur¬ 
rounded with buildings. Would a large 
oak tree standing 15 ft. from my tree 
have any effect on it? The other sweet 
cherry trees stand in sod. I think they 
suffer front Winter injury. < >ne stands 
in garden, and the ground is fertilized 
every year, but it hears very little. 
Corning, X. Y. a. b. r. 
A. Ik R. is probably boarding a few 
families of plum eurculios in his cherry 
tree. This pest is rarely injured by 
spraying, and il delights in hiding in the 
shady part of the tree, out of sight. Af¬ 
fected cherries generally drop when they 
are the size of a pea. and if the eurculios 
are plentiful the whole crop may be de¬ 
stroyed. The most effective remedy is 
to place a canvas under the tree and rap 
on the trunk sharply with a stick. The 
eurculios will drop to the ground, feign¬ 
ing death, and they can then be collected 
and destroyed. The characteristic mark 
left on the fruit is a crescent made where 
the egg is laid. This can be found on 
cherries, plums nr apples, or on what¬ 
ever fruit is injured by the pe>t. It is 
hard to control, but it can be destroyed 
when proper precautions are taken.

Another question for your numerous 
family. In 11)20 some of our Jonathan 
trees were so loaded with fruit, in spite of 
careful thinning, that the tops opened 
out, and some ,.f the limbs broke, letting 
too much son directly upon the scaffold 
limbs in some instances. This, with the 
fact that the overload taxed the trees, 
caused some sunscald on scaffold limbs 
occasionally. A sunscahled scaffold limb 
soon dies partially ; the first load of fruit 
breaks it out, and the pest of the tree soon 
goes with it. We are planning to remove 
all dead bark and insert grafts, as in 
| bridge-grafting, and would like any sug¬ 
gestions regarding if. from anyone who 
may have experimented with this plan. 
What covering is best to use. aud what 
antiseptic? We have been fairly success¬ 
ful in saving trees which were injured 
during the severe Winters of t 101.X and 
1S120 by bridge-grafting on trunk, aud also 
nu scaffold limits, and have used the 
method considerably on trees which were 
injured by mice, hast Spring we lmd 
4(i or 50 iO-year-old trees which the mice 
injured by eating all the bark from roots. 
We planted four trees, about 4 ft. high, 
close to the base of the injured tree, at 
the points of the compass, aud inserted 
top of tree as a graft in trunk of injured 
tree. Nearly every one grew, and the 
operation seems to be a success .

Pea and Oat Hay 
On page 330 of The R. X.-Y. the ad¬ 
vice was given to sow peas aud oats as a 
substitute for hay where meadows lmd 
been killed out. This is the best of ad¬ 
vice. as there is no crop which I have 
ever tried which will produce ns much 
hay, of as good quality, the same year as 
sown as will peas and oats. It was 
recommended, however, to sow 3 bu. of 
Canada pens to one of oats. This mixture 
may be right in some places, but would 
never do here in Northern Now York. 
I have usually sown 1 bn. of Canada pens 
and 1*4 bu. of oats, though I have mixed 
them half and half. Kveri with 1 bu. of 
peas, the crop is not easy to harvest on 
got d land, as the peas grow very rank, 
and the whole is a tangled mass. Of 
course, if the peas are a large-seeded va¬ 
riety. it may be necessary to sow more, 
but with the price at. about $4 per bit., it 
will make pretty expensive seeding. 
l'cas and oats also furnish excellent 
green fodder for cattle, the yield running 
over 12 tons, green weight, per acre on 
good land, and I have used peas in my 
regular grain mixture for a good many 
years. They should only be sown at the 
rate of a half bushel per acre in case the 
crop is grown for the grain, as otherwise 
they will cause lodging.
