Mr. Weber: What kind of paraffin did you use?
Prof. Maney: Just ordinary paraffin.
Mr. Weber: Did you notice any bad results?
Prof. Maney: No, apparently no ill effects.
Mr. Weber: Paraffin has a tendency when it gets extremely hot to run down and kill the graft.
Dr. Smith: What would be the effect of putting in some beeswax?
Prof. Maney: I think that would be all right.
Mr. Weber: Paraffin this summer killed two nut grafts for me.
Dr. Zimmerman: Are you sure it was the paraffin? I have finally come to the conclusion that when the sun gets hot enough to melt the wax it will kill the graft anyway.
Mr. Weber: I noticed the heat did not kill another one that I did not use the paraffin on. Previous years it simply scorched the tree.
