The Gravensteln is not noted for its
keeping qualities, being an early
apple, yet they are in fine condition at

that they were grown on non-irrigated
soil.

THORNBER CALLS
PRUNING FINE ART

In the development Of an apple or
chard, pruning is not only most essen
tia to get the best results, but it is
one Of the fine arts Of horticulture. -
said Professor W. s. Thornber. of the
Washington State College, in opening
an address on "l'he Development of an
Apple Tree" in the Young Mems
Christian auditorium Saturday night.
Professor Ihornber said that there
were many ways being used for prun-
ing trees and there were Just as many
reasons given for the work as there
were systems. There are three rudi-
mentary principles that should be ap-
piled, he said to produce the hardest
and best trees.
1T is necessary first to develop more
buds and branches than the tree of
itself can produce" said Professor
lhornber. This is done by pruning,
and here is where man steps IN, helps
nature to do its work and saves a waste
OF energy. The second reason for prun-
ing is to develop the size and general
growth of the tree that we want. BY
pruning we build up the framework
that will be the most permanent and
the strongest to carry the loads it will
produce when the tree natures.
another important function of
pruning is to retard growth. In devel-
oping tree to its proper proportions
we must take care not to have too
much or too fast wood growth. The
thing desired is to get both wood
growth and fruit growth in the proper
ratio. l."
BY illustrating his points on black
board Professor Thornber explained
the process of pruning a tree, begin
ming at its second year growth and
showing how best to prune the tree
each year until it reaches maturity and
is ready for full bearing.

LAFFERTY WOULD
OPEN PUBLIC LANDS

Representative A. W. Lafferty has
prepared, and next week will introduce
several bills intended to open up to
settlement some of the attractive
public lands that are now beyond the
reach of the homeseeker, either be-
cause of restrictions imposed by law or
by reason of executive orders making
them unavailable for entry. 1t is
Mr.. Latferty's purpose to call these
bills up in the public lands committee
as soon as he can get hearing, and he
has hopes that favorable action may be
had at the special session.
The bills in question, while general
in their terms and applicable to all the
West, will operate to make available
several million acres of public land in
Oregon, says Mr.. LaRerty, and, if
passed, he believes that many homes
can be established within the next two
years which otherwise will be located
elsewhere. -Oregonian.

Mr.. G. l.. Chenoweth,
Grantsville. w. Va,
Dear Sir
We are in receipt of your
ad clipped from the Grantsville
News of October 18th. and note
that you are quoting Ball Band
rubber boots at cut prices.
Your ad states that it is your
intention TO sell at all times good
dependable merchandise at prices
less than others. Now, of course,
Ball Band" goods are depend
able merchandise, but. if you eX-
pect to continue with our line.
you will have to change your
policy in respect to it. We, of
course, do not care what you sell
other lines at. but if you handle
'Ball-Band" you must sell it at
our list prices.
We sell our line to dealers with
the assurance that they will be
protected in a legitimate margin
of profit. We cannot keep our
word if we permit any price cut
ting, for the margin of profit fix
ed by our list is none too wide.
You, of course, may not care to
make living profit on what you
sell, but there are dealers in that
locality who do want to make
such a profit. and we are in duty
bound to protect them so far as
"Ball-Band" goods are concerned
Now there seems to be no doubt
that you are cutting prices on
'Ball-Band", so we will frankly
tell you that if you expect to
handle our line in the future you
must restore prices at once to
conform to our list, and maintain
them strictly. we are enclosing
our currentretail list. Please let
us know at once what you expect
to do.
Yours very truly
(Signed) MIsHAwAKA WOODEN MFG. Co

We have often tried to impress
upon the minds of the people
that we sell you for less, and the
above letter bears me out. Our
competitors have no way out and
they try to bring the manufacture
err to bear upon me with the
above threat that could not have
their goods any more unless |
raised the price as the rest are
selling, but we must keep up our
reputation of selling goods for
less than others. Sc we will not
raise the price, and you can al
ways rest assured that where
ever you see the name
