f A CLUB BOY'S COMPOSITION OX PRAOriOAIl HORTICULTURE : How To Bad Peach Trees Professor ?* went with us | *yk. i to the Experiment Station and taught , fus how to bud, graft and propagate i trees. On the way, we went through ^ the orchard and saw how to mound trees to kill peach borers. When we i got to the Station, Professor told us how to bud peaches first of ; ; Tn the fall about November, plant _ peach seed in a box of sand or in the garden. The seed come up in the spring and by June, July, or August they are ready to bud. The first If?'' * thing to do is to get a peach twig of this year's growth, which should be jjg about the size of a pencil. Get this twig from, somie known variety of peaches, and cut the leaves off about one-third of an inch from the bud. It I will not do to cut the leaves off even J >: -"V . 4" with the buds; as no protection will <9 be left the bud. This is called a bud stick. Put the bud stick in a wet sack S jjjfc and wet some grass (raffia) to wrap around the tree when the bud is in> serted. Go to the tree and place the left foot forward and put the right knee in the T on the three and wrap it caretree, about one-tlrrd of the way, and split straight down the tree for about Ream--. one inch. This should be the exact shape of a T. Take the bud stick and find a wood bud. A wood bud is the shape of the end of an egg. The bloom bud will only make a'bloom, which will do no good. Cut the bud off the bud stick so as not to injure it, and place this in the T on the three nd v^rap it carefully around the tree where the bud was put in. In fourteen days, cut the grass or wrapping material on the opposite side from the bud. If trees are budded in July they will be ready to plant by that fall one year. If budded , in. June they are ready to be planted the following fall. These are called "June bud" trees. * . How to Graft Apple Trees To 'graft apple trees the first thing . -jh to do. is to have young trees a little yfi larger than a pencil. Any kind of ipple seed wil do to plant to grow these trees, which ^should be planted during the fall. Any timeu ntil the 15th of March, these trees can be grafted Cut the little trees off about six inches above theg round, pulling the knife upward and making a smooth slope or slant about one and one-half inches long. Split straight down the pith for about an inch. Then take a limb of the current year's growth from any tree of a good variety, and cut just the reverse ohrvxro r-/-v tVio t +V*o -f \xrr\ ninnoc I V4.

In two years the trees are ready to plant in the orchard. How to Ihrojxagate Grapes and Figs Take small pieces of gTape vines about pruning time (during fal and winter), and plant them in a box of sand or in a wll drained place.)When they are about two years old they are ready to plant to the vineyard. In the winter, plant small pieces of fig limbs or throw dirt up around the roots of the old fig trees and they will put out shoots. Pull up these shoots, which should have roots ready for planting in the orchard. How to Gut, Plant, and Spray Irish Potatoes Irish potatoes should be cut so that j the eyes will have plenty of food, i When the eyes have plenty of food 1 i * LEXINGTON PROOF Should Convince Every Lexington Reader. The frank statement of a neighbor, ' telling the merits of a remedy, Bids you pause and believe. The same endorsement By some stranger far away Commands no belief at all. Here's a Lexington case. A Lexington citizen testifies. Read and be convinced. D. S. Smith, Main St., says: "I "was in bad shape with my kidneys several j years ago. I could hardly get up or ! down and even walking caused me! misery. I had a too frequent desire to j pass the kidney secretions, which j were scanty, and caused a burnng j sensation. I tried many kidney remedies without getting any relief. Finally a friend recommended Doan's Kidney Pills, and I used them. By i the time I had taken the first box, I j received much relief and further use j made me well enough to stop taking them. Whenever I have any trouble this way now, I use Doan's Kidney j Tills and they give m<e splendid relief." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mr. Smith had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo. N. i*. they will not die. They should be) planted in rows and packed as soon j as they are planted. When they are ' planted in rows they can be cultivated and wil make a greater yield than those that are not cultivated. When the bugs get on the potatoes, spray them with arsenate of lead or a lead spray mixture. Oscar Wililam Lever. % ? FARMERS WILL SUE FOR ALLEGED POTASH DAMAGE AfjiTtv Prompt To Vilp Ornn??> burg Cases Have Been Put In Lawyers' Hands. Information has been received at the deparment of agriculture in Co* lumibia that farmers of several sections of the state are preparing to bring damage suits against the distributors of Trona potash, because of the damJage to crops from the use of j the American made product. The loss from the use of Trona potash in some sections of the state will reach far into the thousands. Dr. j Summers, of the department of agrl- j culture, made an investigation and ' I I ATTENTIO!

Because of the powerful lift, he can easily raise the cutter bar to pass over any | field obstruction or to extreme height, when necessary.

In many parts of the state crops have been seriously injured by the use of the potash. Trona potash is mined in California, j It is handled by a New York concern. The suits will probably be filed against the local fertilizer and potash dealers. ?The Columbia Record. You put the lid on waste every time you seal a jar of fruit or vegetables.
