IMPORTANT ORCHARD
ACTIVITIES
Reasons for Pruning and Where and
How to do ii Told in Interesting
Bulletin

There are six important orchard
activities, viz, planting, cultivating,
pruning, spraying, harvesting and
marketing OF these, by far the most
important is that of pruning. 1t
requires the most judgment, is the
least understood, and is practiced by
but a few. One can acquire the
knowledge only by direct experience;
it is a personal factor and one must
know his trees and shrubs, their ma
tural shapes, methods of growth, and
habits of fruiting before he can prune
successfully. We cannot outline a
plan to be followed by each and every
frblit grower, for the reason that there
are many experts who have their in
dividual way of pruning, and do
not recognize any other. 1t is case
| of doctors disagreeing. Different
methods are advocated in the differ
ent fruit belts. Many in the East
want high heads for their apple trees,
those in the extreme West, low heads,
Will in the middle section medium
| head is preferred In any case the
chief thing aimed at is to develop Il
tree of such a shape as will give the
best fruit product with the least ex-
penditure of time and labor. This
will depend largely upon the variety
nd n
ality of the owner, so that no set and
fast rules can be laid down for or
chard pruning We will, however,
touch upon the different factors in
volved.
REASONS FOR PRUNING
We must have in mind that prun-
ing is a benefit and not an INJURY
Nature prunes to certain extent,
but not in a systematic manner. The
horticulturist prunes to secure the fol-
lowing results (a) To produce better
shaped trees. (b) To secure more
uniform product. (c) To obtain
higher flavor and better keeping
quality in the fruit by admitting sun
light and air.
METHOD OF PRUNING
There are great diversities in me-
! thods of pruning. The two extremes
are: The old method of our fathers,
to leave nathre severely alone and let
the tree slough off her dead limbs as
best she may, and the one advocated
by Mr.. Stringfellow (as applied to
nursery trees) which strips everything
to a string (as his name indicates)
taking off top and roots until but a
vestige of the original is left. Neither
of these should be followed.
! (a) Pruning old trees-T h 8
should be done in a systematic man
ner, and with a definite plan in view.
First remove all dead and dying
wood. In all cases sharp tools are
essential, the saw should be followed
by a sharp chisel, 80 as to leave the
sap wood in condition to heal quickly.
If the head is too thick, open up by
! taking out enough branches to let in
the sunlight and air.
(b) Pruning young trees-Nursery
trees are best trimmed at the time OF
setting. This is the most critical
period in the right or wrong de gclop-
ment of the top. The location Of the
scaffold limbs is as important to the
symmetrical development to perfect
top as is the right construction of a
house foundation.

n FIGURES S.

There never has been a more quiet
or orderly day at the polls in Mis-
soula than yesterday, when William
H. Houston and j. w. Rely We're Sc
lected from the three primary nomi-
nees-W. E. Cove being the third man
as candidates for city councilman to
be elected April I. The figures above
tell the story of the primaries. Mr..
Houston led the. rae by a good ma
iority and his plurality over Mr..
Rely seems significant, r. E. Cove
failed to show yesterday.
Missoula voters went to the polls
for the first time yesterday under the
protection Of the corrupt practice act.
The effect was strikingly apparent in
every precinct and about the city.
"Heelers'' were conspicuous by their
absence. There were no steering
committees" at any of the voting
places and many gave open express
sion to the relief they had expert
enced in not being forced to run the
gauntlet before being able to secure
their ballot and go to the privacy of
a booth. There was only one thing
that marred the complete freedom of
the voter yesterday and that was the
presence of petitions at several of the
polling places On the north side Of the
river, petitions prepared by those OPP
posed to the county commissioners
purchasing the south side fair
grounds and aiming to bring the ques-
ton before the people at a special
election. The attention of the voters
was called to these petitions and a
number of signatures We're received.
Light Vote.
The vote yesterday was very light
1t represents less than 50 per cent OF
the voting strength of Missoula as
recorded in the registration books
Undoubtedly the disagreeahleness OF
the weather had much to dc with this
fact.
The following tables give the cou
of the votes, the total vote cast ant

Because of the fact that several votes
We're thrown out in nearly every pre-
cinct on account of some irregularity

BIC MEETING HELD
IN M|SSOULA
NAL FINANCE OF WAY MEN
GATHER IN GARDEN CITY AMI
ORGANIZE BROTHERHOOD.

Organizer w. A. BernWall of the In
ternationaI Brotherhood of Mainten-
ence of Way employees yesterday CLOSED
a meeting in Missoula which was The
most rocessful that he has had for q
long time. The object of this railroad
brotherhood is to organize all of the
men that work for railroads maintain
ing the right-of-Way, The order IS
composed of the section forenen
bridge crew foremen, Waternen and all
others who nave the r~ight-of-WaN OF
railroads under their direct superyi-
sion.
This order is similar to the brother
hood of trainmen, engineers and Others
of that character, but it deals witt
men who have not been organized t.
any extent. The order is an old one,
having been organized in 1856, but has
never been concerned. to any large de-
gree, with the western part Of the
United States. The officials of the
brotherhood are now organizing the
Milwaukee, the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern railroads. In the
United States and Canada the men of
g. roads are at present entirely or to
some extent. under the brotherhood.
Last night Organizer RcrnWall said
the direct object of h order IS the
raising of the standard Of men en-
ployed as foremen of the maintenance
Of way. In this way the brotherhood
seeks to increase the safety OF the
travelling public and the saving OF
property by the railroad companies.
The organizer declared that in Canada.
I where the order has been In existence
on the Canadian Pacific since 1901, the
officials Of that road have expressed
themselves as pleased with the change
brought about through the order and
do not desire to return to the old stan
dard Of men employed to care for the
tracks, bridges, etc, The order also
aims to improve the working cohdl-
tions Of he men.
Mr.. BernWall stated that ne mao
more success in Missoula than ne had
hoped for. All the members IN attehd-
ance We're enthusiastic and the
brotherhood received a good start as
a result Of the meeting.
