If you want new fruit trees of a desirable variety, these may be secured by taking buds from the desired varieties and insert ing them on seedling stocks or on new wood of old trees. Junq is the month that is generally done because the bark slips easily, R. F. Payne, extension horticulturist for, the State College and Department of Agricul ture, tells about the process as fol lows: "Stone fruits such as peaches, cherries, and plums are always bud ded. Other fruits as apples, quince, and pears may be grafted but are usually budded because it is a cheap er, quicker, easier, and simpler pro cess. "Shield budding is the type mdst used. The bud should be placed^ on a s{ock about the size of a lead pen cil. This usually means one year old wood with the peach and two year wood with the apple. "A cut should be made on the stock about .'5-8 inch around the tree and another' one about 11-2 inches long above, vertical to and dividing tills horizontal cut so it will look \ike4to invert*! T, "The buds should then be taken from present seasons growth where the leaves have been removed but part of the petiole left to be used as a handle, A cut should be made about 3-4 inch above the bud so that it will be about half way thru the stick when it reaches the lower end of the bud, thre the bark should be cut square across. Then taking hold by the petiole remove it from the (stick and insert on the tree to be budded under the flaps until the low er end comes in contact with the lower part of the inverted T. Press down the edges and bind with raf fia or anj* other good string. "After the union is made this string should be cut to prevent bind ing. The ton enn be cut off next spring after ti e bud starts". o . NORTON We have some fruit left after the freeze. i Its quite rainy and the farmers are looking blue.

Neither the Department of Agricnl ture,nor (the Department of Labor in forms the public how it is that the producer of cattle is getting less for , his steers and cows while the <??*? W4? | samcr is paying very much more for his steaks. There is no particular mystery about it, however. The tariJr dosen't tyclp the producer to any thing like the same extent it helps the profiteer, who gets the farmer's products at about cojt and selte them to the consumer at excessive prices. Sonic of the increases in price re ported by the Department of Labor arc considerable. Cabbage, for ex ample, was 27 ]>cr cent higher in price during; April than during March, and ]>otatoes 14 per c*?nt higher.
