The principal reasons for pruning
a peach tree. according TO a recent
bulletin issued BY the United States
department OF agriculture, may be
summed up as follows:
On To modify the vigor OF the tree.
(2) To keep the tree shapely and
within bounds.
CD To make the tree more stocky.
ca To open the tree top to admit
air and sunshine.
90 To reduce the struggle for exis-
tence in the tree top
co. To remove dead or interfering
branches.
90 To aid in stimulating the de-
velopment Of fruit buds.
(S) To thin the fruit
ts) To make thorough spraying pos
sible.
UO To facilitate the harvesting of
the fruit
The most successful fruit growers
habitually prune their trees as a gen
eral proposition. In doing so they
usually follow more or less closely
some system. although they may have
no clear-cut conception OF just what
their plan involves. There are. there
fore. wide differences OF opinion and
practice. and trees often produce
abundantly under practically all sys-
tens or with no pruning whatever.
Obviously the pruning which a tree
receives the first two or three years
after II is planted has much 10 do with
its future Mistakes in forming the
head or the results OF neglect during
the early years in the life Of a tree
are practically irreparable On the
other hand. # the tree is well formed
and properly pruned during its first
years. the foundation for a good tree
is established. subsequent errors in
pruning. II they occur. may admit OF

NO WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
UntruthfuI Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

Defaming a neighbor az the expense
OF the truth does not help those who are
guilty of the practice. and II may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands, in the
hope that they may secure customers
for their own. will certainly fail OF
their purpose. False statements so
maliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And. as in the
case OF the lands OF Western Canada,
the fertility OF which is now so well
known 10 people OF every state in the
United States. the folly OF this work
shows an exceeding short sighted
ness on the part OF those guilty OF the
practice.
The present war has given some OF
these people the opportunity TO exer-
else their art. but in doing II they are
only arousing the curiosity OF those
who read the statements and trifing
investigation will only reveal their IN
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
Gently appeared in a number of pa
pers. reading in part as follows
1t is believed that as a result OF the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government a number OF former
Dakota farmers who went TO the Brit
fish Northwest will. be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
ton has been received that the tax
will amount TO about $500 for each
farm OF 100 acres. which in the case
of many Of the former residents OF the
two Dakotas would practically amount
TO confscation."

phatic denial. A full-fedged lie OF this
kind has, of course. only a short life.
and will tell in the end against those
who forge IL and spread IL, but. as a
Winnipeg paper points out. 1t is most
complimentary TO the agricultural pos
sibiKties OF Western Canada TO find
that rival farming propositions need
audacious mendacity OF this descrip-
ton TO help them.
What is the truth? The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized levy
OF $40 per quarter section on unculti-
waited lands owned by non-residents-
The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax OF 10 mills on the as
sessed value OF all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications OF
these taxes. but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non-residents in Western Can
ada form a grave problem They are
making for poor communities. poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. BY having them
cultivated the owners as well as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. II is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation OF the non-resi-
dents. The high price OF grain for
some years 10 come. and the general
splendid character OF Western Canada
land will make the question well
worth acknowledgements.
