shows an excess of S3S,932.1S over the
first years. the property owners paid
23,424.6S of that increase. leaving on

How much of this $15,50750 did the
city actually pay out of the general
fund?
Who Really Paid The Bill.
Just $12,404.72.
Who paid the balance of the $97,-
406.54 spent for public improvements?
THE CONSUMERS OF THE

In other words, the Zimmerman
administration only paid $12,404.72 for
$97. 406.54 worth of improvements and
the patrons of the city light plant paid
the balance.

SUPERIOR MULCH
FOR FRUIT VINES
Growth of Weeds Is Prevented
and Soil Moisture Is Re-
tanned in Soil.

(By A G. FINN
The following reasons are given for
mulching:
1t prevents the growth of weeds
1t retains moisture in the soil
1t adds humus, one of the necessary
elements.
1t keeps the fruit clean and pre-
vents mud at picking time.
1t saves labor, the cost of mulching
acre with forest leaves or straw not
exceeding $500.
1t prevents deep freezing
II makes the fruit more solid and
better for shipping purposes.
1t prevents the baking of the soil
caused by tramping at picking time
1t has the disadvantages OF encour-
aging mice and establishing a surface
root system. However, we have not

In order to get a crop of potatoes we
plant and cultivate; if we want the
best orchard we spray and prune, but
we let nature plant and care for the
wood lot, and then we wonder why
that wood lot does not pay.
The timber crop can be improved by
care for the same reason that other
crops can be improved
Although it takes longer to raise
this crop than any other, 1t can be
raised on land otherwise Improbable
or idle.
Such crop will in the end yield a
comfortable bank account, and the
value of the wood lot to the farm is
greater than the sale value of the
crop in the convenience and the saw
ing of money by having various wood
products at hand in protecting the
buildings and fields from wind and
in the beauty of the farm The time
is coming when thrifty young timber
not yet large enough to cut will have
good sale value
The care of this crop causes little
expense, and the wood lot offers one
means of solving the problem of how
to keep good farm help proftably
employed all the year
The three principal aims in caring
for the wood lot should be to keep
the ground thoroughly covered with
trees, TO have only the best possible
trees and to make them grow rapidly.
In order TO make timber grow fast
care should be taken in choosing the
kinds OF trees TO raise, the soil should
be kept moist and mellow by protect
ing the leaf mulch and the best trees
should be given fair amount OF
light by making Improvement cut
tings.
Methods of starting new trees.
either to fill openings now in the
woods or to replace timber to be har.
vested. are as follows: BY sprouts.
by seed falling from neighboring
trees, by sowing seed broadcast and
by planting trees or seed.
When you look over the woodlot YOU
will find that some of the trees are
broken down and some have the limbs
more or less broken or injured. Cut out
the trees that cannot survive so you
can put in a new one protecting it
from stock.
There are some things to pay atten-
ton to in trimming trees of any kind.
Consider it as surgical operation.
then you will see the importance OF
some Of these suggestions.
When q large limb must be cut off
try and leave as small a wound as
possible and yet not leave stub. This
makes 1t necessary to run the saw

ties that make for success; and that
Is large part of the battle.
The man who owns his home can
keep up to a better standard of living
than if rent day takes one-third to
one-fourth Of his income
The saving of the home-owner
gives him a permanent buying power
that the renting family seldom has; he
is perpetually solvent instead of de-
pendent
He not only has better credit, but
has every reason to live up to moral
and material standards that make
him a more desirable citizen than the
transient renter
Ownership of the place one lives
in is the first step toward financial
stability and community respect. It
is the fountain spring Of that sincere
and honest pride in home and family
which is one of the strongest ele-
ments in character building for both
parent and children
1t inspires business sense, and
stimulates the cardinal virtue Of

snug up against the body OF the tree
| above the limb and slant outward and
| downward. If you cut snug up to tree
all the way you have a long wound
that will be a long time in healing,
while the other way serves just as well
to prevent rotting and leaves a small
er wound Always paint the wound at
once
OF course in cutting off limbs, see
that they do not split down. Cut from
below first, or else tie the limb up so
it cant split as you cut from above.
If a stub is left it makes a place for
decay to start, and from the stub it
goes down into the tree.
Small branches can be cut close to
the body without injury. Use sharp
knife or saw. Never chop a big or
small limb off with an ak. You are
sure to make some slashes where they
will only do harm later.

GOLD BEDS ONLY SCRATCHED

and can work gravels such as they do
