WARLO INVINCIBLE 
POWER SPRAYER 
Just recently the superintendent of a large 
orchard in Michigan wrote to the owner: 
“About the spray outfit—have been studying the 
different makes, the Warlo machine has them 
skinned a mile in a good many ways—pressure at 
the hose nozzle, more equipment furnished. The 
Warlo Idler Qear with the neutral lock is a great 
combination. The Warlo Vapo Spray Qun alone 
is worth double the amount of any other make, 
and when such men as Senator - of Illinois 
endorse the Warlo outfit, from my viewpoint 
we need not look farther for a spraying outfit

Grafting the Grape 
I have a small vineyard of Concord 
grapes which I wish to graft to a grape 
that does better in this locality. I have 
been told to cut the vine away at the root 
and insert the other cutting, and that it 
should be done in the Winter. Will you 
give me more particulars? L.E.W. 
Lakebay, Wash. 
Grafting of the grape is successfully 
done either in the Fall or Spring; the 
writer prefers the latter period, and just 
after the first vigorous flow of sap has 
ceased. The usual method is to saw off 
the old trunk two or three inches below 
the ground level as smoothly as possible, 
and then with a fine hack saw make a cut 
to a depth of about two inches across the 
middle of the cut trunk. In other words, 
make a cleft as in cleft-grafting the ap¬ 
ple. but do it with the saw rather than 
with the chisel. The parts of the scions 
that are to fit the cleft are shaped as 
with the apple. The cut is started oppo¬ 
site a hud. and tapers gradually for about, 
an inch or more. The outside of the bevel 
is cut thicker than the inner edge; that is, 
the thicker edge is on the side of the! bud. 
The cleft is then opened carefully with 
a wedge and the scion pushed down as 
far as it will go, or to the level of the 
bud from which the bevel begins. It is 
placed at a slight dngle to the trunk, but 
care must be taken that the cambium lay¬ 
ers* of both stock and scion are in contact 
as much as is possible. Of course, they 
must meet at some point, but if this area 
be increased the union is much stronger. 
If the stock be two inches in diameter 
two scions may be placed on opposite 
sides of the trunk. The scions should 
carry three or four Buds. They are now 
held in place while being covered with 
strong twine wound around the trunk 
tightly. The graft is now ready for cov¬ 
ering, loose soil being carefully put in 
around the union and the stub covered 
with a mound that extends over all the 
buds of the scions but the top one. which 
is allowed just to show’ above the soil. 
It is necessary that the mound be given 
attention several times throughout, the 
Summer, as rains carry the soil away. 
The following Spring the mound may be 
removed. f. e. gladwin. 
Johnny paid his first visit to a farm 
the other day. All his life he had lived 
in the heart of a great city and when 
he suddenly came in sight of a haystack 
he stopped and gazed earnestly at what 
appeared to him as a new brand! of ar¬ 
chitecture. “Say. Mr. Smith,” he re¬ 
marked to the farmer, pointing to the 
haystack, “why don't they have doors 
and windows in it?” “Doors and win¬ 
dows!” smiled the farmer. “That ain’t 
a house. Johnny; that’s hay.” 
“Don’t try to josh me. Mr. Smith,” was 
the scornful rejoinder. “Don’t you sup¬ 
pose I know that hay don’t grow in 
humps like that?”—Credit Ixist
