Harvey S. Stiles, horticulturist, has
made a discovery OF great Interest TO
the people of the southwest. He finds
that dates of the choicest variety,
-riyaling the kind raised in Syria, VIII
grow in Texas in the territory includ-
ed in a triangle formed by line
drawn through Laredo and Corpus
Christi, thence down to Brownsyilie
and up again to Laredo. Mr.. stlies
went to Texas from California and be-
gan to experiment. He found the fe-
male date tree in the Brownsville coun-
try and began a search for the male
tree. He presently discovered this and
noIlinated the two. As a result he rails
ed 40 pounds on three branches on
one tree. 1t now seems probable that
the date industry will prove a grea'
feeder for the Brownsville country

THE BEST TINE TO.
PRUNE FRUIT TREES

There is always a good deal of dis
cussion among orchardists and others
at this season of the year as to the
best time TO prune fruit trees, but like
the answer to that time honored query
Who struck Billy Patterson" no
agreement can be reached.
Some very successful horticulture
lists believe in pruning whenever the
knife is sharp" while others studi-
ously avoid the trimming process un-
Ill the beginning of the summer
months for the reason that there is no
bleeding. consequently no loss of vital
ity to the tree at that time. Orchard
lists are hopelessly divided upon the
proposition now. and probably always
will be. The question is almost as
interesting and of far more practical
importance than a determination of
the authorship of the Junius Letters,

SHOULD NOT TRIM SHADE
TREES UNTIL JUNE

Shade trees should not be trimmed
at this season OF the year as they bleed
themselves almost to death If cut be-
fore the sap comes up. While it is
impossible to designate any particular
time when the shademakers are least
injured by trimming, owing to the
variation of the weather during the
spring months. a good rule is to wait,
according TO Dali De Weese. until the
LEAKAGE is about the size of squir-
rel's ear" which may be any time
from April fifteenth to June first.
There are many hundreds of fine
young shade trees in Canon City and
its environs, and it would be too bad
II any of them should be deformed and
injured by improper pruning.
In Denver Chief Forester Palmer
has refused to issue permits for the
trimming of maple trees until after
the first of June.

SNOWFALL IN THE
MOUNTAINS OF THE STATE

A bulletin just issued by the china
tological service of the weather bur-
eau in relation to the snowfall in the
OF Colorado, says:
For the mountain districts as a
whole, the precipitation for the four
months ending December S1st has
been somewhat above normal, but the
distribution has been very irregular.
September brought a marked excess
to all districts. and the same is true
of October. except on the western
slope of the central districts. For
November the amounts were gener-
ally small. except on the western
slope. December was even drier than
November. and II was only in the
southwestern part of the state that
more than the usual snowfall occur
red, In general, the ground was we'll
filled with moisture before cold wea-
ther set in. The depths given in the
table will doubtless be materially mod
fled for the better by the later snow
falls. which. as a rule. furnish the
water for the early part of the irri-
cation season; the present depths,
however, will be a factor in the flow
of midsummer, after the SHOWS of
spring have disappeared.
