Grafting Saving Trees
Destroyed by Germans
(Correspondence of The AHootated Frees.)
Paris, April 30. France is not un
duly' depressed by the destruction of
the orchards in the evacuated areas
of its territory," because a remedy is
said to have been found for the evil
inflicted on their agricultural- dis
tricts by the Germans. -
As soon as the wholesale felling of
the fruit trees was announced by the
French press an astute Norman peas
ant wrote to his paper pointing out
that nothing was easier than to. save
a broken or hacked fruit tree at this
time of the year by careful grafting.
The Horticultural Society of France
took up- the idea at once and issued
detailed instructions for the grafting
of every kind and variety of .fruit
trees, his work must be completed by
May 15. Thus French ingenuity bids
fair to overcome the problem raiscfl
by the damage done to the fruit trees.
