I have two questions.  Firstly, I am trying to save a peach variety 
that is unidentified yet a favorite of my grandparents.  They have a 
tree(which they were told was a cherry tree when it was given to them) 
which is on it's last legs, and I am hoping to graft from it to keep it 
alive.  I planted three Reliance trees this spring to graft to, this 
being the only peach I know of which regularly ripens here.  Are there 
any suggestions as to what types of grafts work well with peaches?  
Should I T-bud them this summer or rind graft them come spring?  My 
only grafting experience is with apples.
	Secondly, we are seeing unusually high yellow jacket damage in our 
raspberries this year.  Is anyone else experiencing a high yellow 
jacket population?  Does anyone have any suggestions for keeping them 
out of raspberries(we have approx. 1/2 acre of fruit)?
