PROPER T1lNNsko MEANS MORE
REGULAR YIELDS.
Ensures More and Better Fruit and
More Frequent Bearing.
S. B. SHAW,
Maryland Agricultural College and
Experiment Station.

Systematic thinning is a phase Of
fruit growing often advocated but sell
dom practiced. 1t is an operation re-
quiring considerable nerve" on the
part of the grower, but results soon
show the benefit derived from what at
first seems to be rather drastic treat
ment The thinning of fruit may be
regarded as a form of training equally
as important as pruning
In most instances trees are pruned
to bring about the best possible de-
velopment Of growth as regards the
arrangement of limbs and general
placement Of fruiting wood. Proper
thinning brings about the normal de-
velopment Of fruit both es to size and
color. 1t also permits of more
thorough distribution of spray material
for the prevention of injury from IN
seCts and diseases. Ii is almost i'm
possible to completely spray fruits
that touch each other.
Thinning not only causes the de
velopment of much finer fruit, but it
is a means for conserving the energy
and vitality of the trees. Orchards
that bear heavily one year do not, as
a rule, produce much fruit the follow
ing year. While trees are producing a
crop of fruit they are also forming
buds for the next crop. Overloaded
trees cannot we'll develop a proper

number Of fruit buds for the following
year consequently many trees per
form each function in alternate years.
In some sections systematic thin.
ming has come to be regarded as an
Indispensable practice in successful
fruit growing. 1t costs but little, If
any, more to thin at the proper season,
than it does to pick the same fruit at
harvest time. In addition there will
be higher percentage of good fruit,
and more assurance of securing a crop
the next year. The best time to start
this work is after the season for the
June Drop" is safely past. The
sooner excess fruit is removed after
this, the better will be the develop
ment Of the remaining fruit
The ideal method of thinning is
practically the same as in harvesting.
Manipulating is most desirable as it
causes less injury to the fruiting wood.
Another advantage of this method is
that the best developed fruits can be
left on the trees. For most ideal re.

from four to six inches. When first
thinned to this distance they. may ap-
pear very scattering and the prospects
will not look at all good for a profit
able crop, however, if the average size
of the fully developed fruit will be
kept in mind it will soon become evil
dent that normal crop can be ex-
pected.
From present prospects, it is evident
that there may be large peach crop
this season. Those growers who have
carefully sprayed the fruit, and who
will now Systematically thin the same,
will be the ones who will, in all prob
ability, get the most of their crop. The
prospects do not seem at all good for
the profitable sale of small, under
sized, unsprayed fruit. This may also
hold true with apple growers, but on
account of the outbreak of blight they
may not have to do so much thinning.

In the mountain section seeding may

It is better to wait until about the mid

spring seeding, for little or no hay is

SECOND SPRAY FOR COOLING
MOTH SHOULD NOT BE
NEGL ECTEO.
T. B. SYMONS,
Maryland Agricultural College.

The second brood of the codling
moth appears about July LIST. Unless
the first spraying, when the bloom
fell, was exceedingly thorough, a
spraying with arsenate of lead should
be applied at this time. More import
ant though than the arsenate of lead
treatment for the codling moth is the

S. p. As 1.-The VdHeD's Best Friend

Efforts to make it appear that the recall Of Direc
tors Hamilton and Brockman is failing in the regu
lar order of the bluff that is being rum but they ut
tely futile More than 200 farmers have signed the Ham
on petition alone and the number will be considerably
increased. The circuatOrs working the theory
that the farmers should have the first voice in the recall
and consequently but few town people have the pc
tition.
In the case of the Brockman petition the number of
signatures is much beyond the required number and in
neither effort being made to get many names
of voters possible.
Opponents of the recall are setting up defense of
Hamilton and Brockman the statement that the South
Pacific is the best friend Imperial Valley has" That
claim not appealing to the farmers anybody else for
everybody takes the ground that if this true it
would not be wise to let attorney of the Southern
Pacific "fliend' the districts attorney in the
summation of deal running into millions. Everybody
realizes that attorney like everybody else is amenabe
to the rule that two conflicting masters
1t is not necessary to argue the question with Messrs
Conklng Hamilton and BrOckman whether they right
cOntendng that the Southern Pacific best friend
is it necessary to denounce the Southern Pacific for
is plain business proposition that even where two
friends transactng big business that requires the
sisance of lawyers, neither would wish to be guided by
his friends attorney.
The Southern Pacific has claimed be as anxious to
part with the irrigation system the people of the valley
get it. That probably is the truth It. then is purely
business proposition for the people to buy it. 1t is not
matter of friendship antagonsm 1t is purely busi-
transaction. But in the opinion of the Press 1t
nothing short of docy to claim that because the South
Pacific wishes to make this deal the people SHOULD
let Southern Pacific attorney draft the contract for
them and pass the title to the property for the people
And the Press does not stand alone in this The great
overwhelming sentiment of the valley is to the same eff
feet and when the recall election this fact will be
demonstrated.
No one is opposing Hamilton Brockman and Conk-
ling because of personal antagonism They opposing
Conkg because he represents both the buyer and seller
and they are opposing Hamilton and Brockman because
they refused to accept Conkngs resignation and insist
that he shall continue to serve the two masters.

Russian Army Escaped.

London. sept 22--Latest reports
from the wilma fighting zone indicate
that The Russian army there has es-
caped the coils which Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg threw about it.
BY cavalry raids As brilliant as III"
famous coup, of Stuart and Sheridan
in the American Civil war. a screen of
German horSemen sWarmed about both
flanks of the retreating Russians and
stood astrdr their main lines of com
munication.
It now appears to be probable, how
ever. that these encirclng forces are
too weak 10 impede General Ruzsky' S
veterans.
The simultaneous movements by
Prince Leopold and Field Marshal Won
Mackenzen have not resulted in the
expected advance, especially by the
latter. who has no. been able to link
his scattered troops after their march
through the Pripet marshes
If il be true that the defenders OF
wilma have escaped, Russia has cause
10 draw deep breath of relief, foI
il is apparent that the cautious sira-
trgv of Grand Duke Nicholas was
abandoned for the moment and That
General Ruzsky's troops remained III

IIindenburgs plans for a junction OF
his wings seemed for a time certain
of success
