night. 4 large audience heard the
excellent musical program and en-

equipped for student work. over five
thousand students are taught in day

PRUNE THE DORMANT GRAPES
At Any Other Time Upward Flow Of
Sap ls So Strong That II viii
Cause "6leeding."

Grape vines, unlike many other
vines, trees and shrubs, can be
pruned without injury only when
they are in deep dormant condition.
At any other time the upward flow of
sap is SO strong that it will flow out OF
the wound and cause what is called
bleeding, which impairs the vitality
of the plant
The time tc prune the grape vines is
soon after they have dropped their
leaves, and the whole plant becomes
dormant. preferably with a falling
temperature before midwinter. If
pruning is done while the leaves re-
main on some of the branches, and
the weather is mild, sap is liable to
flow the remaining branches and
cause swelling of buds, which will be
caught by the frost. The work must
not be delayed till late winter or early
spring. since the very first worm spell
will cause the sap to flow and the
wounds to bleed.
In the northern and central latf.
tudes from the middle of November
till the last part Of January is the
best time for the work.

meaning citizens, says the Farmers
Guide. "As the twig is bent SO the
tree is inclined" This saying, familiar
to all, might be recast to read:
"As the twigs are cut SO the tree Ia
inclined or given form" We mean to
say by this that intelligent pruning
may mold the tree into almost any
desired form.
Even the despised lombardy poplar
which, by the way, is stately and
beautiful tree when properly placed
and cared for, can be so pruned as tc
produce pleasing effect If taken In

The most common error is to neg
lect the pruning until the tree has
become ill-shaped, and then to at
tempt by the drastic method of cut
ting off many large limbs or the en-.
tire trunk to give the symmetry and
beauty desired. Such methods seldom
bring the desired results, and gener

lean Ports Merely as Precaution-

Observation-Disclosures Of United
States warships to Central America,
which became fully known Saturday,
put the Central American legations
here into state of fiutter and sent
the Latin-American ministers hurry
ing to assure Secretary Knox that all
was tranquil in their countries.
To all queries the same answer
was returned-that the naval move
ments were merely precautionary and
in large part inspired by information
OF activity of revolutionary juntas in
this country.
1t was intimated in official quarters
that the purpose of the naval move
ment was to maintain the status quo
in Central America, so far as that can
be done by the restraining influence
of warships until the incoming admin
istration has opportunity to define its
policy and decide upon its attitude to-
ward the Pan-American republics.
Authentic reports of threatened up
risings, coincident with the change of
administration in this country, deter
mined Secretary Knox to guard Amer
lean interests by having strong
American naval force at strategic
points. 1t was pointed out that his
action does not in any way commit
the incoming administration, which,
Of course, may withdraw the warships
at once if that course is regarded as
desirable.
