eIRDLING TREE BRINGS FRUIT
BY lnterruptlng Circulation Buds Are
Made More Abundant, De-
elares Expert

Girdling trees to make them bear
can be done successfully and safely
if the proper precautions are OBJ
served, H. E. Van Deman writes in
the Rural New Yorker. There is al
most no danger whatever in girdling
apple, pear and ounce trees, but
peach, plum and cherry trees would
die from the same operation at the
same time. This is because they
do not heal over the wounds as the
pome fruit trees do.
A ring of bark from one to four
inches wide should be taken out en-
tirely around the trunk of the tree,
but care should be used that the
Shiny cambium layer under the bark
b not mutilated. From this soft
matter the new wood and bark Is
formed. The interruption Of the cir
culation is what checks the growth
and causes the formation Of fruit
buds much more abundantly than
would naturally occur.
To run knife simply through the
bark, making ring around the tree
in one or two places will have con-
siderable effect. So will binding
wire very tightly around the trunk
Or a branch and removing it after
the season of growth is over. 1t
,hokes off the circulation in some
measure, and causes fruit bud forma-
lion. But the removal is necessary,
Or there might be permanent injury.

"DEVELOP NORMAL MEN"
GERMAN oYMNAsTIc AsSocIA-
TON.
To Hold Big funniest.

Evansville, Ind.
One of the most notable athletic
meets ever held In the Central West
will be the Turnfest-German Day cele-
bration in this city June 9th, 2Sth and
goth. Mayor Benjamin Bosse Of the
executive committee predicts 1t will
eclipse anything of the kind ever be-
fore attempted along the same line
in this vicinity.
The German Gymnastic Association
is a national organization divided in
to different circuits. These circuits
have field days, or Turnfests, the diff
ferent turner's belonging to the cir
cult taking part. Prizes are awarded
to those gymnasts making the largest
number of points. Competition for
these prizes is keen and induces the
to strive with their best
efforts to win them.
ITO develop normal men," says
Bernard De Vry, president Evansville
Turnverein, "is what we endeavor to
do. In this respect we differ from
the average idea of athletic attain
ment. Turner's demand an all round
or thorough development of the whole
body, thus the gymnast making the
greatest number of points in appara-
tus work, as well as in field sports,
will naturally be awarded first prize.
eve turner's" continued Mr.. De
Vry, contend that a normal mind is
better calculated to exist and fulfill
its hest functions in a normally de-
veloped body. Each should be in
harmony with the other. Our gym
nastic exercises are planned so as
to produce this very desirable re-
suit"
