fruit. But the farsighted grower
will take precautions against the
diseases which are sure to appear
next spring. The best time to do
this is during the few weeks
when the trees are semi-dormant.
B. F. Floyd, plant Psychologist
to the University of Florida Ex-
pertinent Station, advises that all
dead or diseased wood be pruncd
from the grove during the next
few weeks. Such wood harbors
not only insect, but fungous, ene-
mics. Scab, melanose, and with
ertip find protection in dead It's
sues. 1t is imperative that this
wood be taken out and destroyed
before new growth starts, because
otherwise the disease organisms
will attack the tender growth as
soon as it appears. Melanose will
start with the new growth and it
will be too late then to do any
pruning.
Not only the dead wood but
any other parts of the tree which
show diseased condition should
be eliminated. Do not leave stubs
even Of living branches. These
will die and be a source of con-
tamination. Cut the limbs off
close to the branch or body of the
tree. The cut surface should not
be at right angles with the axis
of the branch pruned, but parall-
ell to the axis Of the parent branch
This will give larger wound but
it will heal without stub. Paint
the larger cut surfaces with some
moisture proof covering so that
disease cannot enter and to pre-
vent evaporation from the wound
during the healing processes.
Pruning will go a long way to-
ward preventing the various dis
eases caused by organisms. The
grower may not think that he has
time to do the work now but
when the diseases appear it will
be too late. A little later in the
season it may be necessary to do
some spraying to control scab.
The shiftless one doesn't do
much AT shifting for himself

cH TrlAs GIVING
An on unity TO Make Eighteen
Persons Happy

Chra 4 will soon be there,
the seas for giving; ands for
the most Aart, this giving isA sort
of habit that is as irksome as hav-
ing to say the pleasant things you
don't mean when you hayen't en-
ljoyed yourself at a party. 1t has
developed into regular hold-up
game that enthralls old and
young alike LII order to prove
that we consider So-and-So our
friend we feel compelled to re-
member him at Christmas time
with some trashy little gift that
has no more value than the fifth
wheel to cart but it is a most
effective bludgeon to hold over
him for forcing a like gift at this
particular season. Can you inn
agine anything more foolish and
idioticY Yet we go on year after
year doing the same old thing.
1t isn't that we are blind and
Unconscious of the weakness we
give way to, but we've got the
habit and can't break it. We
reason with ourselves about our
foolishness and that Of our loving
friends, but we seem powerless to
break the chains that bind us
the bonds of convention and hab-
lit. If, however, we took this par
ticular time of the year to do a
little yearly giving to those who
are really in need, Christmas
would come more nearly fulfilling
the Christian ideal Of a fitting
celebration of the birth of the
loving and charitable Christ who
gave us his own example of a
blameless life to guide us along
the troubled highway we all must
tread.

when she needs heavy clothing.
She is not always in good health,
but fate forces her to seek liv-

prospects for enough to eat arc
more than that unfortunate wo-

1t these families had not been
looked after by our Board Of

the conditions in which they are
now living would be much worse

One of our old colored citizens,
who has worked for many of us,
is very i'll with pellagra and is in
need Of SOME help.
AT this time Of year the poor
need bedding about as much as
anything. 1t need not be per-
fectly new, but it should be clean.
A few yards Of bingham or calico

go much farther in giving a joy

VIII You Read This Twice?
A verv important question

A very important question
to-day which every housekeeper
must decide for herself is whether
she prefers pure, cream Of tartar.

whether she is willing to use
baking powder made of inferior
substitutes hitch do not add
healthful qualities to the food.
One kind is easily distin-
gui shed from the other, since
the laws of various States require
the ingredi ents to be printed
upon the label. If anyone is in
doubt which kind is most health
full, it is worth while to ask the
family doctor. Then decide.
And when once decision is
reached let no adverti Sement or

1t is not a question Of few

It is question Of health.
