The Time for Pruning Peach Trees
When Injured by Winter Freezing

In those peach orchard districts
where the winter temperature fell
from fifteen to twenty four degrees
below zero, and remained below
z:ro for any length of time. there
is great danger of more or less in
jury to the peach.
The peach tree may be injured
by winter freezing in three differ
ent ways. viz: First, by freezing
at the crown. or ground line, caus
ing the so-called collar girdle."
second, by freezing back the one
year old wood, and sometimes
more and. third, by killing only
the fruit buds which grow on the
one year old wood. With the
first of these there may or may
not be complete girdling of the
tree at the ground line. The tree
may recover if there is not COM
plete girdle. In the second case
the better the new wood is hard
ened off the less likely it is to
freeze back. Where the wood has
been frozen, the cambium, or
growing layer, will be found to be
of dark brown color, and in
some cases the sap wood will also
be found to be somewhat dark
ened. AS everyone knows. the
growth of tree, as shown by
cross-section, takes place in a
ring. Now. it is possible for
freezing to take place on one side
only; thus. if left alone it will
grow around and over the injured
side. In the last case, where only
the fruit buds are killed. there
probably will be some live leaf
buds. and also some dormant and
adventitious buds.
For these reasons, in regard to
the possible recovery of some OF
the growing wood, fruit buds and
the outgrowth of dormant and
adventitious buds. it is not advis-
abb nor is it practicable to prune
peach trees, which have under
gone winter freezing. during the
dormant season.
Another reason for not pruning
such trees until the growth in the
wood and buds commences is that
it is almost impossible to tell
what to prune Pruning at this
time one may cut off too much.
thus causing "dehorning" which
later on might give trouble.
While if lett alone until the buds
start, some parts at least may re-
cover. r. S. HERRIcK.

Too Many Physicians

CHICAGO, FEB. 2S.-" he United
States supports too many physi-
clans. While Europe maintains
the proportions of one physician
to every 1,5t0 people. the United
States has physician for every
56S. This overproduction is due
to our too numerous low grade
medical schools and to the laxity
of our laws governing them.
1T is time that the country
adopt means to relieve itself of
this burden"
Henry S. Pritchett, of New
York. president of the Carnegie
foundation for the advancement
of teaching, made this assertion
today in an address before the
council on medical education of
the American Medical association.
I'VE have in this country" he
continued. "about $50 medical
schools. or more than are to be
found in the whole of Europe.
Each of our schools in the last ten
years has graduated so many
physicians and surgeons that the
over production has become enor-
nous. We have twice as many
physicians per 100000 people as
England, four times as many as
France and FIVE times as many as
Germany.
"Our low grade medical schools.
sanctioned by our lax laws. are
largely responsible. 1t is ad-
mitted that the training OF doctors
from the low grade schools is
poor. but it is constantly asserted
that these doctors are needed for
The rural districts. The assump-
ton is that graduates of the medi.
cal schools connected with the
universities will not go into the
rural fields. This assumption is
false.
Another argument advanced
in favor of the low grade school
is that in behalf of the poor boy.
This argument is based not upon
consideration for the poor boy
and still less upon consideration
for the public, but upon the de-
sire TO run a medical school.
The truth IS that the medical
education which the poor boy has
to pay for will cost him just as
much as would something better.
A four year medical course ed
ucation in the Chicago. Baltimore
or Philadelphia schools cost more
than a six-yesr course at Ann
Arbor or about the same as at the
University of Minnesota.
The highly trained graduate OF
Ann Arbor or Minnesota will 90

graduate of the so-calIed poor

CORN AND CATTLE KING.
Fred Beeler of Jewell County Not
Much on Politics, However.

Beloit, Kan, June 25.-Fred Beeler,
who is known as the cattle and corn
king of Jewell county. has been sue
cessful in everything he undertook to
do with one exception. and that was
politics. He was defeated for state
senator in the Jewell Mitchell district
two years ago. That didn't break him
up. He had a 9.440 acre ranch, and
then some. His lands are located in
both Jewell and Mitchell counties
Several years ago before these lands
were worth much, Mr.. Beeler paid for
this one ranch SIS an acre. or $4,000.
A few days ago he sold two sections
Of it for $3.50 an acre, or $4,000.
Frank Williams, John Stack, William
Evert and Adam Schmidt are the pur-
chasers. Mr.. Beeler has already sold
enough of it to get his money back,
besides he has more than one-haIf of
1t left. This real estate transa ction
will convince people that there is more
profit in Jewell and Mitchell county
dirt than there Is in politics.

The White House has seen little of
Miss Tarbell since Mr.. Taft became
president, which may or may not be
due to the fact that she has not hesi-
tated to criticise the Taft administra-
ton.
Mr.. Murdoch took with him a photo
graph Of Mr.. Taft. The president
greeted his callers cordially and a
brief discussion of the work of con-
gress followed.
Mr.. Taft, at Murdock's request,
autographed the picture, using the pen
with which he signed the Postal Saw
ings bank bill. He intended this as a
delicate compliment to the Kansas
representative as Mr.. Taft has said
more than once that much of the
credit for the enactment of the Postal
Savings bank law should go to Mr..

Judge Mason says that his private

he can not give them up to take part

that he had matters arranged so that
his brother would take charge of his
private business interests here and in
the west. but his plan fell through and
now the judge has come to the definite
conclusion that he can not afford to
enter the race this fall.
He will continue to act as district
judge until the expiration of the term

HAS $4,000 POPULATION.
Kansas City, Kan, Has Made Big Gain
in 10 Years.

Kansas City. Kan, June 25.-In
Kansas City, Kan, $4,000. This, a
few dozen more or a few dozen less,
is the way the largest city in Kansas
is to figure in the census of 1910
among the cities of the United States.
The f1gures-not exactly official but ap-
proximately correct-may not meet
the expectations of the optimistic ones
who had figured close around the 90,-
900 and 100000 mark. But they are
satisfying to most people as illustrat-
ing a percentage of growth in ten
years that few American cities can
show.
For instance: In 1900 the official
population of Kansas City, Kan, was
51,41s, and 5,678 for Argentine, or a
total of 57,096. The cities now are
one in the 1910 census and the $4,000
population for which credit is to be
given Kansas City. Kan, means a gain
of 26.904. or about Is per cent.
