PRUNING OF THE PEACH TREE
Limited Amount of Summer Work Can
Be Done to Advantage-Reduee
Operations to Minimum.

Sometimes the owner Of peach or
chard will find it necessary to prune
his trees throughout the winter When
ever the weather is suitable for men
to work in the orchard, particularly II
the operations are very extensive. But
if the fruit buds are endangered DUR
ing the winter by adverse tempera-
lures. it may be advisable to delay
pruning as much as economic condl-
tions permit until settled spring wealth
er arrives. This is especially adVis-
able if heavy heading in OF the pre-
vious seasons growth Is involved,
since the proportion of Live buds may
determine the extent to which the cut
ting back should be carried.
A limited amount Of summer prun-
ing usually can be done to advantage.
The trees should be observed con-
stantly throughout the season of active
growth. Whenever branch Is seen
which is so placed that It obviously
will need to be removed at the annual
pruning for the shaping up of the tree,
it is well to take it off at once. In
this way the annual pruning can be
reduced to minimum and the removal
of large-limbs rarely will be necessary.

TWELVE GOOD slLo REASONS
One Great Obstacle, the Cost, May Be
Partly Overcome by Construct
h. ing Pit Affair.

F Shall I build silo?
This question is being asked by the
more enterprising farmers and ranch
men all over the West.
The cost of the silo is the greatest
obstacle, but if this stands seriously
in the way pit may be dug and nm
Iished at a cost not exceeding fifty to
one hundred dollars for material. Pit
Isilos are very satisfactory and are
certainly to be desired rather than
to have no silo at all. ''"'-'s'S49'at.sss'

KEEP UP FERTILITY OF SOIL
When Trees Begin to Show Signs of
Starvation Nothing Is Better Than
Application of Manure. ,s..

A great many farm orchards have
been left In sod for many years and
are in sod at the present time. Many
are cultivated each Year and the crop
taken off the land, says Farmers
Guide. In most cases no effort has
been made to keep up the fertility OF
the soil. Apples are as profitable as
any crop grown on the farm. II the
trees are not taken care of, farmer
has no reason to expect that they will
give good yields. You do not expect
hogs and cattle to thrive without reg
ular feed, and just as truly the trees
will fail if you starve them. The only
difference is, that because of a store
of food in the earth, trees will live a
long time between feeds. This Is 80
true that young trees growing on rich
land need no feed until after the fruit
ing years begin. But after tree has
borne three or four crops, it will be
much less vigorous. The leaves will be
smaller and of a lighter color, and
they will be noticed to drop qulte
early in the fall. The leaders will
make but slow growth, perhaps none
At all, where a few years earlier they
extended ten or twelve inches a year.

size Sc the apples, for they will be

All these changes are danger sig1
nails. Your sfees are feeling the ex-
haustion Of starvation. The remedy
is manuring, and iothing Is SO cheap

its primitive condition. Do not feed
in a half-hearted way, for wbeR d tres

GOOD PROTECTION FOR TREE
Where Splitting Is Threatened as Re-

Screws May Be Used.

When trees threaten to split down
as result of wind storms or the bur-
den of fruit they can easily be pro-
tected by the use Of ordinary lag
screws which can be bought at any
hardware store.
They should be six or eight inches
long and your blacksmith will turn the
heads into hook as shown in the

deep enough to give the screws a
start without splitting the wood, screw
them in solidly and connect with a

Washington Takes Grave View of Situation Pro- duced by Germany's Re fusal to Meet Demands of United States
PRESIDENT TO
 DECIDE POLICY
Secretary Lansing Will Take Official Text of the Note to Cornish for Con ference Probably Monday or Tuesday
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcH1

WASHINGTON, July 1o.-Ofticial Washington takes a grave view of the situation produced by. Germany's re- fusal to meet the demands of the United States, the outgroWth of the sinking or the Lusitania and the loss of one hundred Americans. Upon the president rests the burden of deciding the policy which the United States is to follow.
 It is stated he is quietly and carefully considering the situation. The country may expect him to act with delibera- ton and firmness after he has exam ined all the phases of the problem. Sec retary Lansing withheld any comment today. As soon as the complete official text arrives tomorrow he will begin a careful study on Monday or Tuesday he will go to Cornish for a conference with the president and then return and lay before the cabinet the course upon which be has determined.
 Officials will not predict the action the United States will take II is point ed out there seems but one course open with dignity and honor to the United States. the continued assertion to ex- ercisc the rights Of neutrals on the high seas in accordance with estab- lIshed practices of international law. Responsibility for a rupture of the friendly relations between Germany and the United States. it is declared, will then fall upon Germany.

 FaU Ub0m Germany, Soy Officials

There is yet no definite crystalliza tion of opinion among officials as to details, but the distinct tendency is to- ward a rciteration not only of the for maj note but the actual practice of the principles which the United States is cOntending for. The unanimous verdict of high officials was that the German reply was thoroughly unsatisfactory and leaves the situation exactly at the point where it was in the days imme- diately following the sinking of the Lu- stania While continued exercise of American rights in the future is urged as the logical course to be followed. it is recognized also that the United States cannot abandon the demands made for a disavoWal or intent to drown Americans and the question of reparation. Germany's refusal of those points may lead. it-is believed, to steps by the United States to show disap nroval of the last note. Whether Am bassador Gerard will be recalled and a complete severance of diplomatic rela- tions ordered is again discussed in of ficial circles as well as among diplo matists Tn the absence of word from the president no definite indication of

 There was little disposition in off cial quarters to hurry discussion of the questions Involved.

PRESS APPROVES THE
 CONCESSIONS
Seems Sincerely Desirous That Way Be Found for Germany to Pres erv e Friendly Relations With United States
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHJ

BERLIN, July 1O.-A review of the opinion expressed in the Berlin press relative to Germany'e reply to the American note concerning the sinking of the Lusitania and Germanys sub marine warfare shows that aside from a few irreconcilables, the newspapers generally approve the concessions off cred to the United States.
 They seem sincerely desirous that a way may be found on this, or perhaps modified basis to preserve friendly relations with the United States and satisfy the just wishes of America and other neutral countries without putting into effect what virtually would be the disarmament of Germany in the midst of the war
 The Tageblatt Lokal Anzeiger, and Morgen Post, representing the three great Berlin press combinations all point out with a certain degree of sat- isfaction that the response will disap- point the coterie of heroes of the pen" who for weeks have been insisting upon an uncompromising answer and defi- ance of the United States. A general survey of the editorials would indicate that the government, if the negotia- tions continue, will have far less diff culty with the press in arranging settlement along such lines than the publicity campaign of recent weeks had promised.
 The question says the Lol1al An zeiger, "is not one of granting favors to British goods and interests. but whether it is possible to give greater protection than justified in the inter est Of neutrals without abandoning the principle of a method of naval war fare of demonstrably greatest eff ciency against the British enemy.
 The Lokal Anzeiger and other pa pers therefore express great satisfac- ton at the German proposals laying stress upon the statement that they are of a practical nature. The hope is expressed that the United States will consider and appreciate the sacrifices which Germany makes in the use of this, her most effective weapon in the

The assessed valuation of the pro- ducing mines of Arizona was an rounced yesterday by the statc tax commission as S121 1.325. 5.S33.74. an in- crease of S11. 1.00C.oo0. or 10 per cent ever the 1914 assessment Improve meuts and mining machinery are valued at almost S240coG00. or an increase of approximately SS,500,060 over last year.
 The total valuation of mines, i'm provements and machinery amounts to SI55.131. .656.49. Included in this amount. however. is more than three millions of productive mining prop erty which was assessed as non productive last year. so that the in crease over the 1914 total is a little less than 70 per cent.
 Among the more important in creases in valuation over last years assessment is that of the Superior X Pittsburg Copper company. which was raised from S14.e51,795 to s20,- 55l .G70. and of the Copper Queen Con solidated, which was increased S3,G00.- C0G over the 1914 assessment. An other feature of the valuation this year is the transfer of the Inspira- tion Consolidated from the non pre- ducing class to that of @ producing property. Nine important properties in all changed from non producing mines to producers and are assessed as such by the commission.
 The commissions valuation of the mines this year is based on the aver age earnings for the fast three years as shown in the companies reports. recOnciled with the physical valuation on January l. 1915. The personal property was appraised by the county assessors, assisted by members of the commission
 We have been shown every cour- tosy by the mining companies in our work of arriving at the valuation said Commissioner Campbell, who with Chairman Charles R. Howe. has been hard at work on the various re- ports for over four weeks. True to his declaration at the time tho legis- latUre was in session. Commissioner Zander did not take a hand in the val nation of mining properties. and the amounts were sixeG ty the other two members of the commission.
 The valuation of mines as given out yesterday was certified to the boards of supervisors of the various counties by the commission. It is. of course. subiec to some revision when the commission meets as the state board of equalization next month.
