Prof. Smith: Is it necessary that this should be waxed cloth?
Mr. Jones: No sir, we use paper ordinarily, of course we run wax over the paper in waxing the scion and then the paper is as good as cloth.
Col. Sober: Do you find it apt to curl up in windy days—the paper? I tried that and had all kinds of trouble until I got on to the tape.
Mr. Jones: We don't try to tie with the paper; the paper is only to let the surplus moisture or sap out.
A Member: Does this tend to hold that in or is it all held in by the patch there?
Mr. Jones: This doesn't really need any tying, as it is large.
The Chairman: Would you carry the patch around to the other side?
Mr. Jones: No sir, just fill it up with wax.
The Chairman: And the juice runs out of there and will escape anyway.
Mr. Jones: Yes sir.
