WINTER PRUNING
OF FRUIT TREES

The average farmer and fruit grow
er has very little conception OF the
proper pruning OF trees. II is gener-
ally done at any time during the win
te rseason when the troe II dormant.
II no time is at hand. II is delayed for
another year. This system Of pruning
is disastrous. The fruit trees should
be regularly pruned regardless OF the
amount OF pruning required. II prnn-
ing is done every year the tree will
get into the habit OF producing a GER
tain amount of wood and fruit and
there Is little occasion for severe
pruning. II the pruning during the
first three or four years OF an orchard
after planting is properly done there
will subsequently be little need for re-
moving large branches. The pruning
will then consist merely IN the remc-
val OF superfluous shoots or branches
that interlace and this kind Of prun-
ing does not upset or disturb the
growth and fruiting habis % the tree.
Winter pruning should be delayed
until March or until af.cs the cold
weather has passed. Pruning during
December and January Is often dis
sstrous in eastern Colorado as the
wounds are apt to crack from the cold
and thus make a lodging place for
diseases. Further, the wounds made
at this time will not heal over SO rap
idly. while ifp running is done late in
the season the wound will not crack
and will heal over as soon as growth
starts. II the removal OF large branch
es is necessary. the wounds should nc
painted. using colmon thick. white
paint Severe pruning in the winter
also tends TO increase and encourage
the growth OF water sprouts.

tural society in recognition of his
services TO 1t in the early days of its
organization.
The late DR.. Thomas H. Craven was
the first president OF the society and
took keen interest in its affairs I'M
til his death. Succeeding him as the
head OF the organization was Judge
William B. FELTON,. who was promi-
nently identified with the society for
many years. Judge FELTON, gave much
attention to the society and its work
and the chronicles of the Organization
could not be written without frequent
reference to his name.
Among other fruit growers that
have for many years been conspicu-
ously identified with the success of
the Fremont Horticultural society
may be mentioned Capt. B. F. Rocka-
fellow. Dali Deweese. VI. e. Snow and
others. The society has been a vigor-
Gus one from the beginning and is
perhaps stronger now than at any
time in its career. On its membership
rolls are the names Of practically all
OF the fruit growers of the Canon City
district. and there are none but what
have been benefited In a material and
social way in consequence of their
connection with It.
The annual institutes held under
the auspices of the society have been
an inspiration and help TO all who
have taken part In them and have
keen the means Of establishing closer
and more cordial relations between
ranchers and men in other lines Of
business than could otherwise have
existed.
The present officers Of the society
are E. 4. Davis. president: d. l..

SOMETHING ABOUT
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
OF FREMONT COUNTY

The Fremont County Horticultural
society was formed in 1887. and is
perhaps the oldest of its kind in the
Rocky Mountain region. 1t was GER
tainly the first to bc organized in Co..
orado. and for more than a quarter
OF a century its meOers have labored
increasingly to encourage scientific,
successful fruit growing IN the upper
Arkansas valley. That it mas accom-
plished much goes without saying. for
It has at all times received the co-op-
GRAFTON and support OF the more pro-
gressive, prosperous orcha-dists O.
community. From the day OF its birth
to the present time 1t has been dis
t!nct force for good. promoting and
recommending from year to year
among the fruit growers o. the county
a judicious selection in varieties of
trees, better care OF orchards proper
tiIlage and fertilization of the soil.
the packing and marketing Of fruit.
and a multitude of other matters re-
lating to the horticultural industry.
The society was the outgrowth
OF the initiative taken by Eugene wes-
ton, who drafted its constitution and
bylaws and was its first secretary.
He was elected to the last named po-
ei.'on for fourteen years In susces-
sion, and during all OF that period
never missed attendance at any OF its
monthly meetings. During ths winter

WILL OPERATE
COAL mine

AS the result of an agreement be-
tween Governor Ammons and Warden
lyman OF the penitentiary the Nonac
coal mine in Prospect Heights, ia
miliarly known as No. 5, will be op-
Grated by convicts under the direction
OF Warden lyman during the continu-
ance of the present strike in the
southern Colorado coal fields for the
purpose of obtaining a supply of fuel
for the use OF the prison and perhaps
other state institutions. No coal will
be mined for private firms or individ-
uals. nor will any of its products be
sold. except possibly to the reform
atory at Buena Vista and the state
hospital for the insane at Pueblo.
both OF which are reported to be suf-
fering from shortage of fuel.
An emergency caused by a lack Of
coal due to the strike has impelled
the governor and the warden to take
more the high price of coal has re-
suited in the penitentiary paying $50
a day more for coal than would have
been the case IL the mines were in OPP
Grafton. Conditions have become such
the last ten days or two weeks that
1t is practically impossible for the
penitentiary to renew its supply Of
coal and the warden has been driven
tc the necessity OF leasing a mine
somewhere and of having his men dig
the fuel needed for the institution.
No. mine has been idle since the
strike was called last fall. The pumps
of the property have been kept going
and the mine is in a suitable condi-
tion to be operated at once without
a lot OF preliminary work. A sub-lease
ON the mine has been taken by the
state and 10 cents ton royalty VIII
be paid to the land board for the state
school fund as required from the orig
inal lessee.
II is expected that through the op-
Grafton OF the mine by the state some
hight will be thrown upon the cost OF
working such properties by private
companies and individuals which may
be valuable In relation to the increas-
es OF wages demanded by the strikers.

sumers by operators and other phases
OF the labor controversy.
Warden lyman stated this morning
that the operation OF No. In this
way ought not in any way incur the
antagonism OF either the strikers or
operators of other mining properties
He says he has plenty of men to oper-
ate the mine in small way and ex-
poets to put them at work at once.
