Reed Herr About Pruning, Esrly
Spring Spraying and Other Matters
Diseased wood on a tree can never
be made new again. Cut it Off ana al
low another shoot TO grow. Every day
that such wood remains on tree adds
to the liability OF losing 1t.
Before starting in fruit culture, for
market visit the progressive, practical
fruit culturist and study details; also
learn the cost Of bushes, method OF
culture and the returns.
1t is an excellent plan to whitewash
the trees, filling the cracks Of the bark
with lime. so as to fll mp the hiding
places OF fruit pests. as well as TO de
stroy many which are hiding.

General George II. Hall whom many
In Delaware know we'll from his LONG

pressed his opinion Of the dupont

as either OF the other two counties

increase values OF real estate through

for general good roads building

one Of its greatest beneficial effects.

TO see the road built While I think

When he had finished farmer arose

would injure them. His explanation
was so clear that the farmer immedi-

That physicians of northern and

west are guilty of malpractice, was
the decision of the Southwestern Con

of eonsumptive strangers in the south

The question of discouraging fur.
ther immigration of consumptives was
discussed at length. A few extremists
advocated quarantine restrictions, but
this suggestion was rejected by the
conference as inadvisable at this time
The advocates of publicity of the fate
of poor consumptives as a deterrent
of further immigration won the day
and it was decided to call upon the
newspapers of the country to give pub,
licity to the facts that there are nc
free hospitals for consumptives in the
southwest; that the charity organiZa-
tions have no funds for the care OF
strangers, and that suitable work is
hard to find.
The conference decided that it was
inadvisable for any consumptives to
come west without funds sufficient tc
maintain themselves for one year, and
deplored physicians who advised
patients otherwise.
The conference decided to ask al
railway corporations not to sell hall
rate or charity tickets to the south

parties guaranteed that such persons
would not become public charges after
reaching their destination,
