METHODS EMPLOYED IN
FRUIT TREE PRUNING

The idea prevails among many
fruit growers, particularly those
with whom the orchard is a side is
sue. that because of the intense sun
shine OF Colorado and our fertile
soils. fruit trees must produce fruit
Of superior quality and size.
This is wrong. We know that
much OF our fruit last season was
under size and off color. We also
know that some of the finest fruit
ever produced was grown in Colo
RADIO last year. Several factors COM
bine to make or prevent the produc-
tion Of fine fruit, The one that
needs attention now is pruning.
This subject may well be divided
into two parts:
First. The trees in many or
chards weree planted too close to-
gether. In fact, many of our or
Cards are so faulty in this direction
that heroic measures must be adopt
ed before good fruit can again be
produced. II the apple trees are
ten or fifteen years old. and only Is
or 16 feet apart. one half of the
trees should be removed This
should be done by taking out alter
mating trees in each row so as to Off
set. That is. take out every other
tree so as to leave tree opposite
vacant space in the next row. This
VIII leave room for the trees to ex-
pand and for the sprayer and culti-
vator to get through.
Second, Most OF our trees have
from two to three times as much
top as they should have to produce
the best fruit. Remember, nature
is aiming to produce numbers in
fruit, rather than size. We want
size and color.
to prune. There are few vital
principles. however. that must be
kept in mind. Do not take out one
half or two-thirds OF the whole top
in any one year. A too severe prun-
ing tends to throw the tree ont Of
balance and promotes the growth of
sap sprouts.
so far as possible make the open-

Paint all large cuts with some pre-
paration such rs white lead, graft

are the fruit spurs.
Prune each year. Do the work
before the trees leaf out. 80 that the

When the water rushed into the

Howard on his claim which is eight
miles northeast of Pierce three men
came dangerously near death and
one of them was entirely covered
with the water and had to be assist

The Howard claim is neA the Me
Grew reservoir and the men had
gone down in the well to the depth
of IA feet when they SUDDENLY struck

A Simple Cure for Tuberculosis

Something simpler than the sana-
forum Is the latest idea In the treat
ment of tuberculosis. An interesting.
experiment Is now under full swing in
Brockton and the nearby town of
Whitman. DIR. Charles S. Millet. sec
rotary of the first State Commission
on Tuberculosis. and also we'll known
for his research work In this disease,
has developed a plan seemingly adap-
ted to the needs of those sufferers
who cannot go to Rutland and SINH
lar institutions, but for whom simple
but prompt treatment Is necessary,
writes Lincoln" In. the Boston Tran
script. The trouble the average man
meets in going to a sanatorium Is
personal and financial. He has q
family to support. To give up his
work entails privation on his usually
modest household; the prospect wor-
ries him ceaselessly; his mental con-
ditiOn in consequence interferes with
the recuperative process, offsetting to
some extent the advantage which the
sanatorium offers.
DR.. Millet's idea Is to catch the in
cipient case very early, and by exer-
cising a close supervision to arrest
Its progress before the real need of
going to sanatorium arises. For
example, a girl employed In the coun-
ting-roOm of a large shoe factory dis
closes a swelling in the neck about
the size of pigeons egg. Slight
tubercular infection of the lungs Is
found associated with It, The girl,
1t appears on inquiry, arises at five
o'clock in the morning to get break
fast for her father and mother, since
the latter is believed to be an invalid
desk, resumes her Homework DIR.
Millet persuaded the family to put a
stop to this extra work. He then
had the windows taken out of the
room in which the girl slept, directed
her to go to bed early, take a cold
bath daily, and eat wholesome food.
Without continuing her wages 1t
would have been impossible for the
family to supply that. But under
this plan she Is apparently throwing
off the disease in spite of the daily
demands of her work. Nature, DR..
Millet recalls, cures more diseases of
tuberculosis than ever reach the at
tention of doctors. The idea under
lying this new experiment Is, by
making an early ascertaiRment of
those persons who need to put them
selves within the range of natures
curative processes, to give the great
est healing agency of all a chance to
do its work.
