Grafting Grapes 
I am wondering what M. A. P. refers 
to as “fox grapes” on page 41. It would 
appear from his description that it is 
Yitis cordifolia, or a hybrid. If so, judg¬ 
ing from my experience, he will not be 
very successful in using it as a stock, for 
while it is fully resistant, it does not seem 
to take the scion as well as some others. 
I have used the wild form o'f the above, 
also the true fox grape (V. Labrusca), 
but the latter is not a good stock, as it is 
not fully resistant, sometimes in clay 
soil becoming very much weakened by 
the attacks of phylloxera. I have been 
experimenting for several years, grafting 
every wild vine in sight, my object be¬ 
ing, mainly to find a suitable stock for 
Campbell’s, which' in my locality is very 
short lived, barely existing (because of 
weak roots) from six to eight years, and 
never profitable. However, its clusters 
compare favorably with any grape, are 
but little subject to attacks of black rot, 
and resist the attacks of birds best of all. 
While some operations on cordifolia have 
been successful, the proportions of fail¬ 
ures is very discouraging. Although an 
expert might get 50 per cent to take, I 
doubt it. 
I have used much more successfully 
Ives, Elvira, Herman Jaeger, Extra, 
Blondin and Cloeta. As direct produc¬ 
ers I have not found any of the above 
satisfactory. Ives, while the vine is 
healthy, is fit only for preserving, etc. 
The fruit of the others is subject to an- 
thracnose and black rot. I should say 
that almost any of the Post Oak hybrids 
(V. Lincecumii) would be the best stocks 
M. A. P. could use, especially Herman 
Jaeger, Ben Hur, and Extra. F. E. Glad¬ 
win, answering your correspondent, men¬ 
tions Rupestris St. George. In my work 
I have not found it as satisfactory as the 
varieties above mentioned, possibly be¬ 
cause it does not seem to like stiff red 
clay soil. Riparia Gloire I have not tried, 
but intend to do so this year.

How to Handle Manure 
Which is better, to store horse manure 
in dry barn cellar, with hogs running on 
it to keep it worked over and well 
tramped, or to make a compost pile of it 
outside, adding leaves, straw, etc., and 
turning the pile over once in a while? 
This manure will be used for growing 
early vegetables. d. w. l. 
We should expect a better quality of 
manure in the dry cellar with lively hogs 
working it over. We should throw the 
leaves, straw and other litter in with the 
manure, and scatter corn over it in order 
to keep the hogs working. This will usu¬ 
ally give a finer manure, and with less 
labor and loss of nitrogen than a com¬ 
post heap. 
The Squash Borer 
Can you tell me what to do for 
squashes that are eaten by a small white 
grub inside the stalk and vine, starting 
where the plant comes out of the ground? 
I have tried several different things, but 
as yet have not found anything satisfac¬ 
tory to kill or prevent them. I have had 
this trouble two years, and the squashes 
do not mature entirely before the vines 
are killed, a. d. b. 
-The insect in question is the squash 
borer, which also attacks pumpkins and 
melons sometimes. The parent is a moth, 
which lays eggs on the vines in early 
Summer. There is one generation in the 
North, but usually two in the South. The 
larva hibernates in the ground. If early 
varieties are planted as. traps, the moth 
will lay eggs on them rather than on 
Winter sorts. The vine may be slit and 
the borer removed; yellowish excrement 
will be found beneath the stem where the 
grub is at work. If the stem is slit, it 
should be covered with earth at the 
wounded place. Moist earth, drawn over 
the vine at joints, will induce the forma¬ 
tion of additional roots, which will 
strengthen the plant against attack. All 
vines should be gathered and burned as 
soon as mature. Fall cultivation fol¬ 
lowed by deep Spring plowing will kill 
many of the larvae in the soil, or prevent 
the moths from emerging. 
For the two weeks ending Feb. 1, cot¬ 
ton exports from this country amounted 
to 218,499 bales. 
At three whaling stations in British 
Columbia 377 whales were brought in 
during last year. These produced 15,000 
bbls. of oil and 3,000 cases of canned meat.
