T HE invisible ingredient in 
fertilizers is— quality. 
You can’t see it, but it’s the 
most important thing fertil¬ 
izers must have for profitable 
crop-growing. To be sure of 
getting it, buy the fertilizers 
bearing the “AA QUALITY” 
Trade Mark. It stands for the 
highest integrity in fertilizer 
manufacture, the widest expe¬ 
rience, the longest record of 
success. It is the pledge of 
quality of the greatest fertilizer 
manufacturing organization in 
America.

The Eastern Meeting of the New York 
State Horticultural Society 
(Continued from page 400) 
roguing a raspberry plantation a 25 per¬ 
cent infestation had been reduced to two 
per cent. Newman and Latham were 
mentioned as two varieties of red rasp¬ 
berries deserving ’ trial, while Donboro 
was brought out as a variety which 
though not immune from mosaic seemed 
to be able to mature its crop in spite of 
infection. 
There was a most emphatic protest 
against the wisdom of additional or¬ 
chard plantings at the present time, the 
opinion being that it was better to take 
care of what was now in existence be¬ 
fore starting any more trouble. A good 
point was made in reference to the box 
for apples in which it was shown that 
while the box was a fine package for car- 
lot shipments it was .unsuited for less 
than carlot shipments because the apples 
were apt to be bruised when the boxes 
were rolled or carried on the bulge in 
short hauls with many transfers. 
Resolutions were adopted calling for 
the continuation of the Eastern States 
Apple Exposition, for a new horticultural 
building at Geneva, and for more strin¬ 
gent rulings regarding the contents of 
closed packages and their method of fac¬ 
ing. Much interest was shown in the 
activities of the New York State Agricul¬ 
tural Experiment Station in the estab¬ 
lishment of fruit investigations in the 
Hudson River Valley. There are three 
men located in the valley undertaking to 
solve some of the problems found particu¬ 
larly in the Hudson River Valley, an en¬ 
tomologist and plant pathologist located 
at Poughkeepsie, and a horticulturist 
located at Hudson. 
So much for the Winter meeting. A 
promise of great things for the next Sum¬ 
mer was contained in the acceptance of 
an invitation made by Mr. Clifford Miller, 
President of the Hudson Valley Co-opera¬ 
tive Association, for the holding of the 
annual Summer meeting in his orchard 
at Claverack. H. b. t.

Grafting Grapevines 
I have been interested in what has been 
published in The R. N.-Y. in regard to 
grafting grapes. My experience is that 
the stock for cleft-grafting should not be 
split with a knife, but a very fine saw 
should be used instead, cutting a.s deep 
as scions enter the stock. Graft as low 
as stock is in good condition to split viz. 
two to five inches if land is not too moist, 
although I have grafted with success as 
high as the surface of the soil, then bank¬ 
ing the scions up as high as the top buds 
the first season. In fact all scions should 
be banked when first set until a vigorous 
growth starts. Two years ago I was at 
the old home, and the owner a few days 
before had pulled up seedling vines I had 
left there. I previously had had no ex¬ 
perience in grafting vines set the same 
year. I took up two vines and two or 
three that had laid out in the sun a few 
days, I cut two or three vines into two 
parts, also grafting the two smallest ones. 
I think every scion lived and all the vines 
set made a fine growth. I allowed two or 
three to bear a little last season. One of 
these vines I grafted with scions that had 
small leaves on them cut same day as 
vine was set.- Both lived and grew 
well. The dry vines were well watered 
when set. 
My best success was grafting very 
early one Spring in a warm spell, al¬ 
though frost was not all out of the 
ground when scions were set, and it froze 
up again. It was perhaps a month be¬ 
fore other grapevines started any growth. 
But taken as a rule late grafting proves 
most successful even after leaves have 
started. Last season I grafted two vines 
where land was wet and without drainage, 
and lost both. I have used grafting 
largely to test new varieties.

Experience with Soy Beans 
I wish to give an experience I had a 
few years ago with Soy beans as a silage 
crop. We had about 10 acres fitted for 
silage corn, conditions as to soil, fertil¬ 
izer. etc., over the entire field being about 
equal. On one-half the field we sowed a 
mixture of eight quarts of Soy beams, ar¬ 
tificially inoculated, and 24 quarts of 
silage corn ; the other half corn without 
the beans. We used a grain drill for 
sowing, closing all but three runs; mak¬ 
ing the rows about 35 in. apart. Cultiva¬ 
tion during the Summer was alike over 
the entire field. We harvested the entire 
crop with a corn harvester, cutting all 
into the silo, putting that containing the 
beans in first. In the Winter after we 
had fed the upper part, and came to the 
silage containing the beans, we saw a 
decided increase in the production of milk, 
at least 10 per cent, all other conditions 
as to roughage, grain, etc., being the 
same. I am sure we were several hun¬ 
dred dollars to the good with no extra ex¬ 
pense .by sowing the beans.
