Cracks in Soil,

All OF orchardists have observed the
tiny cracks that appear in the soil
during the winter. These extend
much deeper than most people think
and by cultivation and the breaking
of the continuous pores formed by the
cracks. evaporation can be reduced
to the minimum and the ground will
retain its moisture. This work may
nave the tendency to hold back bloom
ing In the spring and remove much of
the danger of frost Last spring it
was noticed that these orchards
which were damp held back from
blooming several days and without
exception escaped the frost. This con-
dition can be accelerated by giving
an irrigation any time now before the
warm days come on. and if the ground
has been free from snow all winter
1t must need good wetting.

REASONS FOR PRUNING TREES
If Ornamental Shrubs Are to Be Of
Good Shape and Healthy They
Must Receive Proper Care.

By j. J. THORNBER, UNIVERSITY
OF AR1ZONA.)
There are few ornamental trees or
shrubs that do not require occasional
pruning or trimming at one season
or another for their best growth and
development. The extent of this,
with certain exceptions, however, is
often quite limited, and in this re.
spect ornamental plants differ from
fruit trees. Pruning is usually given
too little attention by the amateur
planter and home-maker with the
result that the task is put off as long
as possible, to be finally disposed OF
with little or no forethought at one
fell stroke" as 1t were, of the ak or
saw, regardless Of results.
1t goes without saying that all
newly set trees should have their
branches cut back to correspond with
the loss of roots incident to trans.
planting, though this does not mean
that such trees are to be reduced to
poles. At planting time all mutilatsl
parts OF roots should be removed, and
if the trees are of considerable size,
j. e., eight feet or SO high, the main
limbs should be cut back to within
twelve or fourteen inches of the
trunk, the leader being, of course, re-
tanned. A sufficient number, varying
with the kind Of tree, of the more Wig
orous fthese main limbs are left to
form the framework of the crown.
These should be disposed at nearly
equal angles about the trunk, and not
lie in the same horizontal plane. If
handled in this manner such trees as
ash. locust, mulberry, cottonwood and
sycamore will need little further at
tention for some years, and will
usually develop into pleasing, SYM
metrical forms. When small trees are
used, considerable pruning is often
needed in first few years after plant.
