The Northern Pacific gross earnings
show an increase for the first week in
February of 2,001. Since July /. 1900,
the gross increase has been $1.l3S.2l6. Or
an average increase of about Sal, 20 per
week. Should these increases be con-
tinued at this rate. il is probable that
gross earnings for the year will show
an increase of at least Sl.9s0O0O. and it
is probable that the $4,000. 900 figure may
be exceeded.

When and How to Thin Fru,t.


The Kansas station claims that the
work OF thinning fruits should be done
early when the little fruits are from
ope-half to three-fourths of an inch in
diameter, before the pits have begun
to harden, and before there has been
an exhaustive strain on the tree. By
relieving the tree Of all extra effort
at this tir1e 1t can put its energy into
developing the remaining fruits. The
thinning should be done by hand SO
that systematic selection of fruits
to remain may be made. A large
amount Of good Judgment is necessary
TO thin fruits so as to balance up the
crop on q tree.
With peaches the aim should be to
leave the fruits at least six inches
apart. However, the size and strength
OF the limbs will determine this ro
some extent; slender limbs eighteen
inches long can probably support only
one rrult, In thinning plums the dis.

De so definitely stated because thew
are produced In clusters. The clusters
should be broken up so that only two
or three fruits remain, the idea being
not to have the fruits touch when

times as thick as peaches, that Is, SO
as to be two inches apart when ripe.
