New England Notes 
Grafting Fruit Trees. —The time is 
close at band when grafting can he done, 
and the operation is so simple that even 
the amateur need not hesitate to try it. 
If the work is done just before the buds 
begin to swell, the grafts will almost in¬ 
variably take, and the scions can be cut, 
at that time if they were not taken earlier 
and kept in sand in the cellar. Often¬ 
times it is possible to go to the seed stores 
or nurserymen and buy scions of any 
.special variety which the garden maker 
may want. There are many people who 
have only two or three trees, perhaps 
only one, in their backyard, but who 
would like a greater variety of apples. 
Grafting makes it possible for a single 
tree to produce fruit of half a dozen va¬ 
rieties, and when the plan is intelligently 
carried out even the amateur can he as¬ 
sured of early and late fruit and of a 
crop every season. While grafting can 
be done with a chisel, it is much better to 
use a regular tool (Fig. 107) by which 
the stalk is cut and the wound held open 
until the scions are fitted into place. The 
scions should he cut wedge shaped at one 
end, but thinner at one side than on the 
other. The cut should be made at one 
stroke of the knife, and the seions to be 
fitted into each side of the stock should 
he the same size. They should be taken 
from wood of last year's growth, but 
about six inches long and having two or 
three buds. Have the buds point in the 
direction you want the branches to grow. 
After the scions have been put into place 
and the tool removed, so that they are 
held firmly by the stock, apply wax very 
freely. Tt is best to grease the hands, for 
otherwise the wax will stick to them. 
While wax can be made at home cheaply, 
and sometimes is applied hot. the man 
with a few trees will find it more con¬ 
venient to buy a stick of grafting wax at 
the store. The main point in all grafting 
is to have the bark at the outside of the 
scion come into close and perfect contact 
with the bark on the stock, and as there 
is danger of the scions being moved even 
after the wax has been applied, it is a 
good plan to tie strips of cloth firmly 
around them. 
Tiie Saw Graft. — T wonder how many 
New Englanders know about the saw or 
Coburn graft, which is used to a consid¬ 
erable extent in the Middle West. I have 
tried it here, and found that it works sat¬ 
isfactorily. A saw is used to make a 
diagonal cut across the end of the stick, 
(Fig. 100). Then a scion is fitted into 
this cut in tin* usual way, care being taken 
to have the bark of the scion and stick 
come together perfectly. This is a quick 
method, and the grafts usually unite as 
well as when the other plan is followed. 
Motor Trucks on the Farm. —While 
a motor truck which is used only for 
hauling on the road majl prove rather an 
expensive luxury, costs can often he cut 
to a large extent by using the truck in 
other ways around the farm. Market 
gardeners are finding this to be true, and 
are even going to the trouble and expense 
of making reasonably good roads through 
their fields so that the truck can he used 
for hauling manure or taking in crops. 
In one of my travels I came across a 
market gardener who grows many acres 
of tomatoes, and I found that he carted 
all the plants to the field in his truck. 
The truck was fitted with platforms so 
that a large number of plants could be 
handled' on one trip (Fig. 198. This truck 
is used later for taking strawberries to a 
nearby city, where they are sold on the 
streets. The body of the truck is made 
with tall sides, along which cleats have 
been nailed at intervals, running length¬ 
wise. When boards are placed on these 
cleats they form several platforms, with 
just enough space between them so that 
berry boxes can be set in place without 
crushing the fruit. By this means an 
enormous amount of fruit can be carried 
to market at one time and arrive in per¬ 
fect condition. When Winter comes the 
same truck is used for hauling apples to 
market, the apples being kept in a stor¬ 
age cellar until the price is satisfactory 
to the owner. E. I.F.
