ORGANIZATION IS NEGLECTED.
Farmers Must Band Together for Up
lift Of Community and fer Ad-
vancement Of the Whole.

Community organization continues
to be neglected by the farmers. 1t Is
generally recognized in recent years
that the organization of rural COM
munities lies at the bottom, In a large
degree, Of the proper development OF
the community spirit. the community
aggregate of wealth and influence.
Too long have the farmers undertaken
individually to reach individual sue
cess, says Greenville (TexD Banner.
But the day has arrived when 1t is
becoming more clearly demonstrated
that the individuals must band togeth-
er for the uplift Of the community,
for the advancement Of the whole and
therein and thereby the individual be-
comes enriched and banded into an
organization ,yhich makes him more
-aluable citizen and greater factor for
good for himself and the community.

DORMANT PRUNING IN FAVOR
Work on Considerable Scale During
Summer Season Is Not Advisable
Difficult to See.

In practice, summer pruning, on a
considerable scale, is not advisable. 1t
is difficult to see, when the leaves are
on, just which branches should be re-
moved, except in the case of dead
branches. One must be on the guard,
also, to avoid peeling of the bark when
it peels rapidly. Pruning is less ex-
peditiously done in summer than when
the trees are dormant.
There are occasions, however, when
one desires to complete work Of prun-
ing begun early in the season. There

sites for orchards. that cold air set
ties to the lower levels. For this rea-
son It is often colder at the lower ele-

meant by atmospheric drainage"

For the same reason peach buds
are often winterkilled or the blossoms
are injured by frost in the spring in

higher elevations are injured much
