FORGOT. Part of His Story.

When George Freidenbloom return
ed from his eastern trip a few weeks
ago he gave an interesting account
of his journeyings and incidents of
his travels. But he forgot one of the
most Important points of the story,
which has come out since friends
from the East have come to Roswell
for visit According to these friends.
George went out on State street, Chi
cago, for a stroll one evening. He
was expected to return il about ten
minutes to fill another enga cement

shown up. His friends went to look

SOME FACTS ABOUT
ARTESIA AND VICINITY.

Editor Of The Earth QChicago.)
Artesia is situated in the center of
the artesfan belt, and is surrounded
by the largest artesian wells in the
valley. The country surrounding it
is surpassed by none for fertility and
productiveness. Although this portion
of the valley was practically undeveI-
oped four years ago, there are now
many thousands of acres in cultiva-
ton, much of which is in alfalfa and
apple orchards. Oats and Indian corn
are also raised, the former proving
an especially profitable crop here.
Pecos Valley alfalfa hay is in big
demand and commands the highest
market wherever known. Owing to
the fact that alfalfa yields four and
five cuttings per season. and that
these cuttings metimes reach two
tons pei. acre, the crop is an extreme
ly profitable one, and the owner of
an alfalfa farm in the neighborhood
Of Artesia will soon be Independent.

him and then proceed to accomplish
the particular object in view, and so
one cannot prune ali of his trees
alike. Each tree in the orchard must
be pruned and treated independently
In pruning, it is well to keep in
mind not to remove any more limbs
than is absolutely necessary and to
ayoid, as much as possible, removing
very large branches. The larger the
inbs removed the larger will be the
wounds and the longer these will
take to heal over. The healing of the
wounds is done by the cambium layer,
which is the active growing tissue
of the plant cylinder, pushing itself
over the scar mainly from the upper
side. If the wound is small it viii
heal over during the growing season;
if it is large it may take one or more
years. The longer the wound remains
exposed the more the wood will crack
and dry out.
All the limbs should be cut off as
close to the trunk or larger branches
as possible. It is not infrequently
seen where pruners leave stubs from
1alf an inch to three or more inches
in length projecting out. These stubs
never heal over and should not be
left. In some cases they may cause
injury to the tree as they die back
into the wood of the main branch. If
the trees are headed-in always cut
back close to a bud, for the reason
that if stub is left above the bud
it will die back
Dressing for wounds is sometimes
necessary, especially for the larger |
ones. The dressing used ought to
check the weathering of the wood |
and prevent any decay. A wound |
dressing should be durable. Paint and |
ar are very common materials, but |
cad paint is the best all-around dress
ng for common pruning wounds.
When to prune is another common
question. There are a great many
ideas in regard to the time to prune
trees Since the healing of thel
wound depends upon the activity of |
the camDIum 1t would seem, oJneE |
things being favorable; the quicker |
the healing begins the better it is for
the tree. The healing goes on faster
in the spring after the plant starts
to grow. Taking into consideration I
the healing of the wounds and the
activity of the cambium the better
time to pru1e would be in the spring
before growth begins, during Februa
~ and March. This does not mean.
however, that trees cannot be prun-
I'd in the winter. Trees may be prun
ed any time after the leaves fall off,
but the earlier the pruning is done
n the fall or winter the longer it
will take the wounds to heal over.

SUGGESTIONS ON PRUNING.

Pruning is a natural process. Hun
dreds of small limbs on the trees die
every year and thousands of buds
perish before they have an opportu-
nifty to develop into branches. This
is natures simple method of pruning,

modifies her methods according to
circumstances and the object to be
accomplished. And, it may be said
that it is impossible to attempt TO
instruct an individual to prlIne a tree
and expect him to prune all the rest
exactly the same; for there are no
two trees alike. and the very next
tree may be so unlike that it will
have to be pruned entirely different
The operator should, first of all know
what he is going to prune for before
a single limb is cut off. He should
