they were told to play simply to keep

crude oil stays on top of the water

During the early years of the life Of
both ornamental and fruit trees a
vigorous use of the pruning knife is
frequently necessary. Trees normally

branches. careful heading-in Is nCces-
sary. With pears and apples the main
body branches left at planting time
should not be more than eight inches
long. AT the close of the first season
when pruning time arrives, the growth
of that year should again be shortened
to at least one foot and each of the
main body branches should be allowed
to carry not to exceed three subdivis-
ions, each of which should be eight
inches long. The third year the same
operation should be repeated and in
stead of allowing each subdivision to
carry three branches the number
should be reduced to two. The ar
rangement of these branches should
in all cases be based upon the same
principles as the arrangement of the
branches on the main body of the
tree
II is not reasonable to expect that
every tree planter will have observed
all of the proper precautions in caring
for his ornamente and fruit trees. Il
