MONEY SPENDERS

PRUNING PEACH TREES

Few farmers have any definite idea
of how and when to prune their fruit
trees. The consequence IS that the
average Kansas orchard Is neglected,
Pruning may be done at any time but
obviously some times are better than
others. The labor question Is per
haps the most important that enters
into consideration. and 1t so happens
that the best time to prune the peach
trees comes at the time when the
farmer is least rush with work
winter.
The trees are now dormant and less
harm seems to come to trees trimmed
at this time. The best time to prune
is In the late winter. So far as the
tree is concerned, other times may
suffice, but labor is usually mole plen
tiful then. Besides, If pruned at that
time 1T will require less spraying to
cover the trees in the spring II the sur
plus brush Is removed,
In pruning peach trees cut out the
crossed and undesirable branches.
Cut OF from one-tiird to two-thirds
OF the new wood, /, O., wood Of the
preceding years growth. 1t is not
necessary to cut Og every little twig,
The leaders are the ones that require
attention. In cutting these leaders
back cut them off toa side branch
rather than to dormant bud. Pruu
ing the tree as above indicated Is
called heading In.
The amount of heading In to be done
will vary from year to year, depending
on the amount OF growth the proceed
ing year and the probability of the
next crop. II the crop has been com
pletely destroyed by severe fft ezlng,
as is often the case 10 Kansas, all the
new wood may be removed to good
advantage. As the trees grow older
less heading in is necessary, although
1t is best to keep the trees headed low
to fe cilitate gathering the fruit,
Where an orcbaud has been long
neglected and the limbs are long and
bare, it is frequently desirable to cut
these off altogether and form a new
head. A part Of the limbs had better
be left on the first year, as the shock
to the tree from the loss of so great a
part OF its feeding power might canse
it to die.
Head in tie new growth as you
would Young tree.
1t is important that a newly set
peach orchard be started right. To
that end, go over the newly-set ire,
In the early part of the growing season
the first year and cut off all low bran
ches and head any that are growing so
rapidly as tocause one-sided growth.
Prune the orchard catefully each year
thereafter and you will be well re
ware ed for your effort.
Among the advantages resulting
from careful, consistent prunieg are:
The fruit is easier to pick,
The trees are easier to spray.
The pruning thins the fruit.
The trees are less likely to break.
The orchard remain thrifty for .
longer time.-Farmer Advocate.

HALL WON'T TELL STORY OF
SCHOOLHOUSE TRAGEDY

Eldorado, Kas., Jan. Io.-Ex

White Water school house, wher
the body of pretty Mary Glass, tn
girl teacher, was found Wednesda,,
night weltering in the blood whicl
streamed from Jagged cuts in he
throat may never be known.
Robert Hall, her lover, his owl
throat slashed and torn, can no
speak above a whisper and refuse
to make any statement. Today tn
stitches in his wounds tore loos'
and it is thought he may carry th'
secret of the tragedy with him tt
the grave.
Hall is at the home of his mothe
guarded by Deputy Sheriff {. F
Ohm, of Eldorado. He has takeI
no nourishment except some milk
and none of tina. for thirty si'
hours.
Residents of the Whitewatel
school district say Hall has been
sutton for the hand of Mary Glas.
for several years. They were reared
on farms in the same vicinity, bul
two and half miles separating
their residences.
Recently, it seems, Miss Glass
had discouraged Halls attentions,
but he has been a constant visitor al
her boarding place, and frequently
called at the school, where she was
teaching, and took her riding after
school hours.
More recently, she had gone to
social gatherings with another young
man named Thompson, who had
boarded at the same place, and this
is said to have aroused Halls jeal-
ousy.
Last Wednesday evening Hall
at the Whitewater school,
during the afternoon recess. He
tied his horse, and stayed until
school had been dismissed. That
IS the evidence of the school chill
1ren. What happened after that
none but Hall knows. He refuses

vas to the effect that Miss Glass had
borrowed his knife and had at
empted to kill herself with it, He
laid he grappled with her, and In
he struggle she slashed him several
lines, and also succeeded in mort
vounding herself.
Miss Glass was found lying dead
IN the floor of the school room. In
,arious parts of the room pools OF
blood were found and the room gave
evidence of struggle that had TAX
N place. On the door casing were
blood stains, showing where she
evidently had CROPPED her way in an
.ffort to get out of the room. Two
chairs, standing side by side, were
ound near the stove.
Hall, when he staggered into his
