GRAFT AITLH OX 11KUUV UCSlL
Delta Miners towd In Novel Horti
cultural lCxierlmciit.
To those particularly interested In
the growing of apples, an experiment
made at Delta, Idaho, will be of value.
!n the spring of Inst year Thonvis and
Francis Hauck, two miners, who keep
u garden, and grow strawberries and
vegctablea, expeiimonted In grafting a
won of a 4-year-old appla tre Into
a aarvk-e berry tree body, and to their
delight the limb not only grew, but
blossomed this year and two well de
veloped yellow apples ripened. The
tr-e from which the se'.oa was cut
has never bloomed, jvt the sciou wtu n
grafted Into a berry bush blossomed
ami bore fruit the next year. This Is
somewhat remarkable and of Interest
to every grower of fruit.
The successful grafting is one ac
complishment and the growing of the
fruit from the grafted bush when the
original tree has never bloomed Is an
other. This Is not a fruit section, but
the Haucks have experimented by set
ting out 100 trees. For rutabagas no
section of the country can grow larger
ones than are grown here. , For better
flavored and larger strawberries this
mining camp challenges the world.
Yet no one attempts to grow, fruit,
vegetables or berries for the market,
and only a fow miners grow for their
own use. .
Pulling for Experiment Station.
President W. 3. Kerr of the Oregon
Agricultural collego, will be here the

Word to the effect that President
Kerr will be, here was received this
morning by Senator C. J. Smith. Thj
news was received with satisfaction,
because those who are out to secure a
rtate appropriation for the experiment ,ed by Chamberlain's salve. Many
