SAVING THE FRUIT TREES,
It Is Very Easy to Prevent Them
From Splitting at the
Forks.
He Says That Cutting Limbs Back
Makes More Branches but
Ruins the Trees.

The orchardists of this State are fire.
quently annoyed by their fruit trees break
ing down by the force of the wind, but
more frequently by the heavy burden of
the fruit. Many methods have been tried.
with more or less success, to prevent the
trees from breaking at the forks. Among
them is one suggested by A. n. Judd of
jacksonville, who claims that he has solved
the problem. In order that his fellow
orchardists may have the benefit of his
experience he presents the following expla-
nation of his method:
1t seems as if all the orchardists of the State,
or for that matter the United States, have been
treating their fruit trees as if they belonged TO
a class that was wholly depravec, believing,
perhaps that the curse that was placed upon
Eve also followed the tree, and that all fruit
trees cultivated by men do not come under
the same influences OF nature as the wild crab,
plum, haw, pawpaw or Pers1mmon.
ing right? Nature thinning out the super
fuous limbs, leaving the tree beautiful in
symmetry,vigorou and healthy, while the Gull
tiVated ones require coaXing, propping and
pruning, to finally reward us with decayed
stump, with, perhaps, one-half of the original
tree standing off at angle of about SO de-
grees, and only remaining In this position by
a few props that the wind, harrow or workman
allowed to remain.
Now. lay down this proposition, and do it
without any fear OF successful contradiction,
that the result of cutting any tree is do it an
injury. Eyes," says one, "the trees you get
from the nursery have been cut back" and
hence the trees are all forks or crotches and
you are instructed by the nurserymen to cut
all limbs back to six or eight inches which
only multiplies the evil, for every limb that is
cut makes a fork.
Now to repair the difficulty to a certain ex-
tent, and to save your trees from splitting at
the forks OF limbs, offer you the following
remedy, which I use with great satisfaction at
a cost of about 3 cents for material per tree

The Finance Committee Has
Made a Pretty Good
Record.
SENATOR JONES ENTHUSIASTIC
Nothing Further of Any Importance
Can Be Done Until Our Delegates
Reach Washington.

Secretary Litchfield, at a meeting of the
finance committee yesterday, said that
there was something in the neighborhoou
of S92, 900 collected for the convention
fund, or that that amount had been
guaranteed by various business men and
private citizens when it was wanted by the
National Committee.
Others expressed their intention of add
ing great deal more to the fund as soon
as it was definitely settled whether or not
the convention was to be held in this City.
In great many cases this was the answer
Mr.. Litchfeld and his assistants received
when soliciting subscriptions for the fund
There is nothing more to be done now
but wait for the results of the trip soon to
be made by the delegates who will go on to
Washington before the meeting of the
National Committee.
It will, however, be necessary to appoint
another delegate in place of George A.
Knight, who sent the following letter to
Wendell Easton of the executive COM
mittee:
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov o. 1895.
Wendell Easton Esq., Chairman Citizens Com
naittee on Republican Conuention-DEAR SIR:
have this day received notification of my ap-
pointment by your executive committee as
one of the five citizens to act as an executive
committee to attend the meeting of the Ma
tional Republican Committee to further the
project of securing the next National Repub-
lican Convention for this City.
Permit me to ex tend my thanks to your COM
mittee for this honor, and at the same time
decline the responsi bilities of the importa mt
trust 1 am going to Washington on business
at that time.
will join the volunteers, and at my own ex-
pense do all in my power to further the cause
of San Francisco in the fight.
would suggest that member of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee be chosen in my
place, that the influence of that organization
be utilized in behalf OF the movement. Yours
sincerely, GEO. A. KNIGHT.
Mr.. Knight, in an interview. said it was
his intention to do all in his power for
this City in the matter of bringing the
Convention here, but that he was going to
Washington solely for himself, and had in
tended to do so for some time. This fact,
however, would not deter him doing any,
thing for San Francisco that was in his
power.
Mr.. Easton will appoint another delegate
to take Mr.. Knights place, and will proba-
bly, make the selection from the State Cen
trail Committee.
Already the Washington people are be-.
ginning to reach to secure the California
delegation, as the subjoined dispatch from
an enterprising hotel-keeper will show:
WASHINGTON D. c.. Nov %.

Arno will take the California delegation COM
ing tc Washington to secure the Republican

Disbarment Proceedings Threat.
ened by the Aroused Prop.
erty Holders.
A Joint Meeting of Improvement Clubs
Determine on Decisive Protective
Measures.

A joint meeting of the improvement
clubs of Noe Valley district was held last
night in Judsons Hall at Douglass and
Twentythird streets for the purpose of
taking action on the suit brought against
certain property-owners by the Noe heirs,
involving title to the lands of San Miguel
rancho.
Several resolutions were offered and mo-
tions made, and the discussion on them
was kept up for hours.
Finally all the motions were referred
back to the original committee, and COM
mittee consisting of George w. Lewis, W.
B. Curtis and E. P E. Troy were appointed
to inquire as to whether the conduct of
attorneys who brought suit was unprofes-
sional.
The committee will hold meetings
and formulate a communication call
ing the attention of the Bar As
ISOLATION to the matter, that is
provided the committee feels sure of its
ground ard has sufficient evidence
to justify the proceeding. In
such case the Bar Association
will be asked to have disbarment proceed
ings brought at once against the attorneys
for the alleged Noe heirs.
Among the attorneys under fire is w. H.
II. Hart, ex-Attorney-General, who with
others brought the suit, which Noe Valley
property-owners their attorneys and the
Title Insurance Company claim is
nothing more nor less than blackmail
scheme.
The meeting adjourned until Friday
night and meanwhile the indignant prop
erty-owners will take decisive action,
so that it will very soon be definitely
known how the plaintiffs attorneys stand
in the premises.
