old-fashioned fragrant flowers. For example the evening-scented stocks. (Matthicla. bicomls), which give such an abundance of perfume they may well be grown for that alone. But many fragrant ﬂowers have been highly developed by modern plant breeding and may be planted for color and beauty as well. Mig- nonette (rescda odorata) is one of these. and has no superior for its delicate scent. It makes excellent suiting material to combine with other flowers.

Nicotlanna. the sweet-scented to- bacco plunts. should have a. place in every garden. Their long tubular flowers close in midday, but open as evening approaches, and give forth a rich perfume.

Sow seeds of the sweet sultan (cen- taurea.) broadcast where they are to grow. The datura (angel's trum- pet) is another fragrant annual which is beautiful.

Combating Wire- ‘- worms in Prairie Field Crops

The rate or damage to prairie field crops by wireworms can be greatly-reduced by combination of suitable tillage and seeding meth- ods which encourage the rapid early development of the crops and re- tard the more harmful activities of the pest. The main points amt- Have the scedbed free of weeds and as firm as practical. Use good seed that is capable of vigorous growth and seed at. a somewhat heavier rate than usual. Badly rusted or frosted seed should be avoided. Seed only when there is good moisture present at seed level, but within this limitation seed shallowly and start as soon as the soil is thoroughly warm. it is preferable to use the standard drill with press attachment, or a press drill; seed- ing implements which-leave the soil excessively loose around and above the seed, or place it at regular depths, are very undesirable. Thorough cross-packing immediate- ly after seeding is occasionally of value, but usually is unnecessary if the recommended procedure, has been followed. Wheat to be seeded in fields infested by ringworms should not be treated with for- malin, but thc control or smut. may be secured by uslngwcopper carbon- atc or one ‘of the other dusting ma- terials recommended for this pur-

pose.

wheer the slight extra coat can be met. the regular use of phos- phate fertilizer. at a small rate drilled in with the seed in infects? fields, usually gives decidedl larger yields.

Special attention along these lines is necessary for the crop on fallow whcro the rate of damage is normally hcavlest. Under condi- tions of vcry severe infestation. wheat may suffer even with all these precautions. Under such cir- cumstances, it is definitely prefer- able to employ crops such as oats and barley, which are more resis-

tant to the attack of wirewonns. This plan may be continued until

the infestation has been reduced.

Although a great many tests have‘ been made, no seed treatment is known by which wu-ewormc. may be poisoned or their ravages pro- vcntcd. Effective methods ‘of soil fumigation arc known but these are far to expensive to be practical for

field cyops.

(axpciimental Farms Note)

Grafting is dono to secure fruit similar to that produced on the tree from which the grafting wood is taken. One-ycar-old wood is used for sclons. The growth habit above a graft does not influence the growth below, and vloc verso, nor i the fruit changed because of the variety grafted into. Many varieties may. be grown true to kind-on the- same tree. Because this is possible the changing over of trees from one ‘ variet to another is extensively prao od by apple growers.

Growth takes place between the wool and the bark, in a layer cai- led the cambium. The important thir; in grafting is to have the cambium layers united. Becguge new layers of bark are made each year. it is obvious that the bark on an old branch is thicker than that on a year-old branch, and to place the outer edges of the bark in line would not bring the camblum lay- ers together and growth would noi- result. Judgment and care when 1101118 the grafting are of the ut- most importance in order to effect a proper union. >

The wood in which the salon ls to be placed may be several inches in diameter, or only grafted by cutting off the stem six inches above a lower branch. This stub is split through the ocntro and spread apart for inserting two wedge-shaped sclons, one at each side. This is called cleft-grafting. These scions are firmly held in place by the pressure of the split wood. The parts of the injured wood are covered with grafting wax to keep out air andwater, and prevent drying out of the wood, thus insuring t proper growth. Large branches not readily cleft- grafted are grafted along the edge of the bark, placing the scions ilto 3 inches apart. Branches too small for cleft grafting are usually side- grafted.

Below the stub to be grafted a branch should be left to insure sap circiiatlon and growth in the branch. If the scions grow, these branches that were left are re- moved tho following your, in part at least.

It is not advisable to remove more than one-third or one-half of the top of a tree the first year. By a judicious selection of branches evenly spaced around the tree on the main branches, the tree may be graftd over at one time.

Grafting should be done before the buds start to swell, usually from the first to the middle of May. A good wax is made of 5 pounds of rosin. 1 pound of bees- wax and 1 pint of raw linseed oil melted together. This is poured in- to water and when cool enough is worked by pulling until light yellow
