III Is known that heavy pruning Of
the tops Of fruit trees In winter or
during the dormant period has a tend
ency to produce wood growth, or
cause the trees to grow larger. This
is due to the fact that when pruning
Is done when the tree is dormant the
plant food which Is taken up by the
roots early in the spring Is concen-
trated into a smaller portion Of the
top and results in the very rapid
growth Of the parts left. Weak trees
are often forced into vigorous growth
by heavy top pruning which is done
in the winter or early spring.
When vigorous plants are given a
heavy winter pruning water sprouts
are often produced, because there Is
more plant food sent up from the
roots than the top area can use. re-

Heavy pruning of the top in the
summer or when the tree is in an
active state of growth has tendency
TO check the wood growth. causes fruit
buds to form and sometimes results
in the growth of water sprouts. The
wood growth is checked because when
pruning is done when the leaves are

the area which is making plant food
is removed and the supply of pre-

throat and her hands tied behind
her, Mrs. Ida Hill was found dead
at the home Of her mother, Mrs. ]. II.
Ragsdale, at Jamestown N. c., early
Thursday morning. The deed is sup
posed to be the work Of burglars who
entered the house between midnight
and day. Indications Of burglary led
to the theory. Mrs. Hill is the wild
ow of the late Dr.. Joel Hill, who was
prominent physician Of Lexington,
n. C. DR.. Hill died about four
months ago. Mrs Hill was returning
from Philadelphia, where she was
treated in sanitarium following :.

bands death.
She was accompanied from Phil

Ragsdale, who is member Of the
faculty of Bryn Mawr college. Miss
Ragsda1e was in the house when the
murder was committed. No clue has
