bearer Of a message Of peace and
good will from Japan, Baron Dairoku
Kikuchi. president of the Imperial
University, will address the Civic
Forum at Carnegie Hall tonight.
The great Japanese educator was
selected as the best person to en-
tighten America about Japan's atti-

the Japanese of this city, sent through
the Civic Forum to Count Komura,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, that
Kikuchi was designated. AS an in
cidental purpose he will investigate
the methods of American universities.
After the Misunderstanding on the
Pacific coast that strained relations
between Japan and America, the Japs
in this country looked to their coun-
trymen in New York to readjust the
point Of view.
There were many conferences in
the Nippon Club, and DR.. Jokichi
Takamine, an officer suggested to
Consul General Kokichi Midzuno that
japan send one Of its learned men to
this country to tell of the newer Japan
and the friendliness that existed there
for Americans An unofficial ambas
sador was required. He must be 9
man who could grasp the American
viewpoint and talk from that basis.
AS result, men in the Civic rorum
which body includes President Taft
William J. Bryan, Archbishop IRELAND
and William Dean Howells among it
vice presidents, were asked to sent
the unofficial plea for the envoy o
peace.

SUMMER PRUNING.

Seasonabie Suggestions For Use of
Knife on Weak and Declining Plants.
Summer pruning is the best for
shade trees. Use the pruning knife
freely on the tops OF weak and declin-
ing plants in order to give them a new
start
Don't prune after the blooming peri
cd. Nearly all towering shrubs bloom
on the wood Of the previous years
growth.
By cutting back the heads of young
plants. thicker and broader growth
Is encouraged. Never cut downward
on limb; a ragged wound Is usually
the result of 50 doing.
When planting shrubs cut back the
branches one half. to balance the root
system. To produce a low headed
fruit tree. trim off all the branches
and cut back the top to eighteen or
twenty inches at planting time.
To avoid crotches in mature trees.
remove all limbs in two-year-old trees
that form crotches with their neigh
bors. Don't forget to cover the wound
made by pruning with tar or common
paint, preferably drab.
Do not depend on winter pruning to
keep normal shrubs In shape. says Su-
burban Life. They will never look
well. Prune two or three times during
the summer
Remember that summer pruning in
duces fruit bearing. while winter prun-
Ing encourages a heavy growth OF
wood. Summer pruning should be
light. however, and pruning In winter
Is often necessary in any case.
1t is much better to cut away a little
wood each year than n large amount
occasionally. Begin when the tree is
young. and you can shape it any way
that you desire. Remember that low
headed tree IS easier to spray and easi-
er to pick the fruit from than one
whose branches are high In the air.

BETTER THAN GOLD MINES.
Northwestern Apple Orchards Expect
sd to Bear Record Crop This Year.

Northwestern Apple Orchards Expect
I'd to Bear Record Crop This Year.
Officers of state horticultural asso-
in Washington. Oregon. Idaho and
Montana say there is every indication
that the fruit crop this year will be
the largest and most profitable In the
history of the four states. 1t Is pre-
dicted that higher prices will prevail
as a result OF the heavy damage to the
fruit crop In the middle western states.
#. A. Huntley. state horticultural
commissioner. says that Washington
will produce twice as much fruit In
1910 as In 1908, the year of the record
crop. Including peaches. apricots. cher
ries, berries and other soft fruits, the
yield will be at least doubled owing
to the increased acreage, he adds.
while the apple crop will show an In
crease OF about 25 per cent. Oregon.
Idaho and Montana will have equally
large crops as the result of increased
acreage and trees coming into bearing
this season. More than $4,000 acres
of lands are devoted to orchards in the
four states. and pomologists estimate
the value Of a full crop would I'M
doubtedly equal $175.OO0.OO0.
Northwestern apples are In demand
In the eastern and middle western
states and In Europe and Australia.
and the markets are being extended
year by year. American and foreign
experts who have studied conditions
in the northwest refer to the Pacific
states as ''the worlds fruit basket"

a comparatively short time a domain
where the first foot of soil properly
cultivated is worth more than all the
mines from Alaska to Mexico and all
