Pruning the Apple Tree,

That knowledge or the structure
and nature OF the tree IL essential to
every person who undertakes to
prune, when the object of the work is
not only to shape the tree, but to di-
rectly induce the same to bear fruit
OF commercial value, il the opinion
or Prof wv. H- Lawrence, hOrticultur-
lSt OF the Arizona experiment station
An examination of a bearing tree will
reveal the presence of branches of all
sizes, large number of dormant buds
and many buds in various stages Of
development There il constant
strife between these buds and the
branches, since there are a much
greater number of each of them than
the tree has any use for or can sup
port. Unless assistance is rendered
the tree by the removal Of these
limbs and buds, much OF the strength
of the plant il wasted i'm the produc-
ton OF the parts that are useless, with
the results, the fruit will be small, of
poor quality, and characteristic of
crops. To train trees perfectly they
must be pruned at least once year.
The amount OF pruning, the number
OF times and the times of the year
that the work must be done, varies
with different climatic conditions,
soil, culture. varieties and ages of the
trees.
TO secure the desired results the
primer must BE- able To study the tree
and the factors influencing it, ana tell
why, how and when pruning must be
done to correct the undesirable con-
ditions or characteristics. The most
important rules that can be followed
are to prune regularly and lightly,
the work to BE- done at least once and
preferably twice, a year. In practic-
ing both winter and summer pruning,
excellent results are obtained when
conditions are such as to require
such treatment.
Inc time 10 prune varies TOT d1tTer-
ent varieties grown under the same
conditions and the same variety
grown under different climatic condi-
tions. In general, vigorous growers
and shy bearers should be pruned
during the summer, while the slow
growing and heavy bearing ones
should be pruned during the winter
When pruning at any time of the
year the important facts to remember
are, winter pruning has a tendency to
produce wood growth at the expense
of fruit production; both winter
or summer pruning done at the wrong
time, has a tendency to make a tree
non-productive, while summer prun-
ing, if done at the right time and
judiciously, will tend to produce heavy
fruit production with corresponding
decrease ia the production Of stem
and foliage.

Keep on Going to School No Matter
How Old You Are.

Herbert Quick. editor of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper
published at Springfield, Ohio, tells
in the current issue of that publica-
ton about an old lady in Missouri
eighty-three years of age, who is just
beginning to learn to read. Mr.
Quick goes on to say that although
there are things that can be learned
better in childhood than in later
years, he would take people between
twenty and forty if he wanted to
educate community in the really
important things Of life, literature
and art. Continuing with plea that
fuller use OF empty school houses be
made, he writes in part as follows:
Il wish every one of us could take
the roofs off all the houses in any
school district where this is read and
see what IL going on OF an evening
inside. The homes are filled with
women getting supper, men eating
women washing dishes, families sit
ting about the fire after supper toast
ing tired feet or talking casually
about the days work. Horses are
being curried i'm the barn, and stock
looked after for the night The
mother is doing some necessary sew
ing. Mostly the people sit silent be-
cause there is really nothing to talk
about. And every schoolhouse, near
ly, il dark. There i the stove
ready to heat the room; the desks
and blackboards. unused.
But let us look again at the
homes in our school district. Over
there is a home with a shelf of books
maybe a library. Here is a man
who could take charge Of some sort
or class i'm the neighborhood night
school; over there il a woman who
has studied some science or art
which she could teach. In every home
is some man or woman who knows
something which all would be glad
to know. All they need il a start
an impulse, a servant to find out
what each can do, and work out plans
for them.

pie going to school"

The Late Senator Rayner on States
If one were annually to compile
all the great truths uttered by the
statesmen of the land, il would be
difficult to fill a yolumn with them
If one were only to publish digest
Of all the falsehoods that they told
whole libraries could be kept well
supplied How rarely do we hear
a member of the legislative assembly
arise and with an unbiased mind
free from all partisan prejudice, pro
claim q great truth. 1t il for this
reason that people have so little con-
fidence in the public utterances OF
politicians, and in the promises and
pledges of political platforms.
Mer generally enter upon the field
OF politics for their own advance
ment, and as a rule they adopt that
course which will promote their own
interests. They ebb and flow with
the tide. They do not create or
change public opinion. They follow
Iit It has been supposed that those
who occupy distinguished positions
in public life are above these intiu-
ences. That is a mistake.

great intelligence, of extensive learn

make "a great mistake LII you expected
to find them i'm Office. Now and then
you might meet with some, but men
of this description are generally to
be found in the walks and stations of
private life Why Is this? Simply
because men OF thought and ability
and honor do not care to make that
sacrifice or independence exacted OF
those in public places. Look back
half a century, and see what names
illustrate the pages Of our political
history. What il the trouble now?
Have the times degenerated? III
there less capacity and courage and
integrity among us than there for

is at fault.
Will these things change? I'm
doubtedly they will. The life or the
Republic depends upon III. Better
policies and principles are coming to
the front. Surface appearances do
not indicate this, it Is true, but to
the penetrating observer a deep I'M
dercurrent is visible in the tide Of

 Effective Today.

 Des Moines, Ia., July 1.-Io- was workmen's compensation law went into effect today and the state is prepared for it as few states which have taken this step have been. The Iowa Manufacturers Association has perfected it's organization so that the Association stands be- hind the law and the manufac- turers do not have to patronize bonding companies. There is to be a graded scale for paymefts, according to the risk of the in- dustry. It is estimated that Iowa manufacturers will save at least $1,O00,000 a year by carry ing their own risks. Manufac- turers say they will ask no de- lay and that they will aid in en- forcing the law.
