A fruit tree in order to produce
fruit for the greatest length Of time
must put on some new growth of
wood each year. This is especially
true OF the peach and similar fruits

BY cutting back limb We induce
more new wood 10 come out, and
thus it is necessary to prune each
year to keep our trees bearing

All dead and diseased wood
should be cut out as 1t is merely
breeding ground for diseases and

we'll as the healthy wood that is cut

SECOND VICTIM OF AUTO CRASH
 DIES OF HURTS

Hartford, Oct. 22-Followfng. the distressing automobile accident in Col linsville, Thursday night, Paul Schmidt, IS years of age. son of Mr. and Mrs. August H. Schmidt. of No 54 Oak street, died at the Charter Oak Hospital early this morning. He was the second victim of the fatal ity, Miss Marguerite Murphy, 18 years old, of 52 Atwood street, daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. Frank A. Mur- phy, having been almost instantly killed. Earl Steinh oltz, 19, of No 517 New Britain avenue, is at his home in a, serious condition. It was said> at the capitol today that young Schmidt who was driving the auto and which was reported as going at high speed, did not possess an oper- ator's license. The accident occur red about 7:30 o'clock at a fork Of tn eroads.
 Evidently the boy lost control as the machine struck a sign post, went into a. fence, passed over one stone wall and was hung up on another. The two boys were thrown out into the highway and the girl was crushed un- der the tonneau. She died a few minutes after being taken out and started for the hospital in this city,

SAFEGUARDS AT U. M. C. PLANT KEPT
 JEWETT FROM DEATH

That the safeguards for Workmen' established at the U. M. C. Co.,. plant as a result of scientific investigation of the force of explosions of various natures, saved the life of Marion Mahoney Jewett, became known to- day through the investigation begun by Coroner John J. Phelan when it was feared that the accident of Wed nesday. would prove a fatality
 Had Jewett been working under the conditions that Sused to prevail at the plant, he would have perished denly shocked into inSensibility for a long period, he has lost the memory of the few minutes prior to the blow up. He believes the explosion took place in the vacuum drying room, 15O feet away from the loading house where it actually occurred.
 Blown into the side of a building by the force of an explosion that de- stroyed a number of trays of fulmin- ate caps. Jewett will recover.
 Jewett was in one of the little houses facing Pembroke lake and was sending illuminate charged caps through a sieve as is customary in or der to remove any. of the excessive explosive which always c1ings to the exterior of the caps.
 Jewett is unable to tell how the explosion occurred and insists that he was in the drying room at the time ftthe big boom'. as he describes it, came. Jewett seems to believe that he had sent the contents of seven trays of primer charged caps through selves and then placed them on a rubber tired truck to take to the dry ing room when the explosion occur red His right arm was fractured in two places, his right hand severely 1acerated and particles of the, brass primers and the explosives struck him about the face and body.
 It has been established through the coroner's investigation that the indi- vidua1 loading houses, occupied by only one man a ta time, are construct ed so as to divert the force of ex- plosion from the occupant. and thai while Jewett has severe injuries, he escaped death because he did not re- ceive the full shock.

PORTO RICO IN GREAT POVERTY,
 GOVERNOR SAYS

Mohonk Lake. N. Y. o@t. 22-Gov- ernor 5Yaquer, of Porto Rico, and sew eraI persons associated with him in the government of that island, dis cussed the needs of the Porto Ricans today before the Lake Mohonk confer ence on the Indian and other depend ent peoples.
 The governor drew a picture of the poverty and wretchdness of the ma jority of the people and asserted that the fundamental cause was over-pop- ulation. As a remedy he suggested emigration of Porto Ricans to santo Domingo, only 70 miles away.
 pr. D. W. May. superintendent of the Porto Rico experiment station, testified to the wretchedness of the ag- ricuItural laborers. Their numbers were SO great, he said, that the plant CTS had raised no objection to the ab- Eolition of slavery because while the fertility of the soil has decreased the slaves had increased until their own CTS were glad to accept any terms the government might propose to free them. Dr. Mays remedy for this con- dition was education and the develop ment of some industries which would divert lower classes from the coffee and sugar plantations.
 | Several other addresses also occu- pied the attention of the conference.
