exhausted before any more can be sup
piled by the roots. 1t Is, therefore,
little wonder that many trees are Sc
riOu3ly dwarfed and otherwise injured
and still many Others die from the
failure to cut back the tops.
The roots should be pruned first, all
long, struggling roots headed In, and

sharp knife or shears. II q large num-
bcr OF fine roots are present, they usu-
ally become matted and many Of them
will die, when they becomes q menace

thin out such Rrowths. Then, when
the tree is planted, q little deeper

top needs attention.

Of all kinds OF fruit. With such trees
very few branches are formed, hence
It is possible to form the head at any

many POTATOES
CONSUMED HERE
OTTUMWA PEOPLE USE ABOUT
$4,000 BUSHELS EACH
YEAR.

Local retailers are finishing the
putting in Of their winter supply OF
potatoes. The last two weeks they
have been busy stocking up. for this
season of the year is the time when
potatoes are the cheapest, being just
after the harvest when the farmers
desire to get rid Of all they cannot
conveniently put in storage.
This section supplies only about a
fourth of the potatoes used in this,
city, and they are not Of first class
quality this year, about the usual size,
but somewhat scabby Most of the
potatoes shipped in this fall are from
the northern and central parts Of the
state. A considerable quantity comes
from Dakota, Montana and Northern
Nebraska. Last year the bulk of the
import was from the west. Iowa In
general has an excellent potato crop
in: comparison to..4the other states,
and much of 1t is being shipped south,
where the crop Is short.
About 125,0Oo Bushels.
Ottumwa uses about $4,000 bushels
year. The wholesalers are paying
between SO and Go cents bushel and
selling them to retailers at IS to 70
cents The retailers sell them at from
" cents to rs cents a bushel. This is
about Is cents higher than last year,
the difference being caused by the
general shortage Of the crop and the
general rise of prices for all staple
articles. The above statement is TAX
en- from the estimates of the local
dealers commission men and propri-
etors of the largest retail stores. .
Some contradiction to the state
ments given by commission men and
retailers is explained by the fact that
some of them specialize, part getting
their supplies almost entirely from
the home growers, while others deal
almost exclusively in imported po-
tatoes. Some of the dealers secure
their supply from the western pota-
to districts. Others. buy from local
farmers, and still others uuy from
heavy growers throughout this sec
ton Of the state.

SloMlx.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-General trade
lacks the vitality Of the demand year
ago. when horses of all classes found
free outlet at steady prices At no
time in the past stx weeks have orders
displayed the urgency to lift prices
back 70 summer levels. The general
consensus Of dealers and consumers
is that prices are too high for CONNER
cial use. To sustain current values
would require q further adjustment OF
transportation rates that would disar-
range mercantile business. The level
Ing of prices to lower range Is extend
ing to other classes Of live stock and
horses will hold normal parity with
other branches of animal husbandry.
Horses are ,$10@15 and upward lower
than quotations the hrgt Of September,
with strong tendency to sag to a still
lower level. There is nof demoraliza-
tion threatening the Industry. as there
is no decline anticipated that would
make the INDUSTRY Improbable, but
there is in progress a read5ustmen,t
Of values in parity with the decline in
other classes of live stock. Receipts for
the first two days Of the week are esti-
mated at 9o9,. against 9S7 for the same
period last. week. and 1926 the corre-
spending period last year. General
