Mississippi river is now over It's banks

Unless the river gets to the 40-foot

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-Because
Flagman Cunningham, of an excursion

Cunningham, the report says failed

RAISED RAIL RATES
FROM NEW ORLEANS
TO ALABAMA STAND

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The SUI
preme court of the United States today
reversed the decision of the commerce
court declaring void the order of the
interstate commerce commission, is
sued to the Louisville and Nashville
railway, reducing rates from New Or
leans to Montgomery, Ala.
The case grew out of the evil which
the long and short haul clause of the
Hepburn law was intended to correct.
Formerly the Louisville and Nashville
charged rate from New Orleans to
Montgomery and other interior Ala
bama points greater than the rate to
Mobile plus the rate from Mobile to
Montgomery, although the latter route
was the longer, the contention being
that the Mobile rate was fixed by water
competition New Orleans shippers
protested and the Mobile rate was
raised.
Later on the railroad raised the
Montgomery rate also and the inter-
state commerce commission issued an
order placing the former low rate in
effect. The commerce court held that
the commission had acted without de-
terminating whether or not the higher
rate was reasonable and issued an in
Junction against the order. The SUI
preme court of the United States de-
| clared the railroad had a right to a
hearing before the commerce commits

ducing the rate. The case figured into

DEFINITE PERIODS TO PRUNE
Popular Subject for Individual Dis
putes as Practically Every Month
Has Its Advocates.

The best time to prune trees has al
ways been a popular subject for in
divldual dispute. Practically every
month in the year has its advocates.
This fact indicates that there may be
some truth in the old loose-jointed
rule that the time TO prune is when
the saw is sharp. At any rate, We
may infer that under certain condi-
tions, pruning may be safely done al
any time OF the year. However. 1t is
best Away, even in the care Of the
home orchard, TO have two definite
periods during the year in which TO
prune; once during the dormant sea
son, from November to April, and
once in the height Of the growing
season, along in June.
Both winter and summer pruning
nave their advocates but the Objec,
10 be gained in pruning really should
be the determining factor. as the ef-
fects OF the two is almost opposite.
Winter pruning tends to check the
growth of fruit buds. and encourages
wood growth, including the forma-
ton of water sprouts. On the other
hand summer pruning promotes the
formation of fruit buds, and checks
wood growth. Sometimes these results
are very marked. but usually are not
conspicuous enough to attract atten-
ton of the grower.
There Is always much more time
in the winter to dc the work-au
important consideration on the gen
eral farm. The meE also usually do
the pruning better. and the brush
can be disposed Of more easily. There
is also time to paint over and care
for the wounds caused by the prun-
ing. But in early summer the wounds
heal better, it is much easier to de
tect diseased or dead branches. and
same waste growth may be saved
The physiological effect on the tree
may also be much more satisfactory.
However. 1t is not so much ques
ton of when to prune in most of our
smaller orchards as 1t is the one of
getting It done at all. While in many
cases summer pruning would prove
advantageous. yet the problem is to
get the orchard owner To first see
the advantage of pruning even dur
ing the idle winter period, before he
