GOT THE MESSAGE TWISTED
Jenkins Believed in Brevity, and All
That Kind of Thing, but he Had
Sad Awakening.

Jenkins wife was away on a visit.
Now, Jenkins was very busy man.
He believed not in lengthy communi-
cations. In letter-writing, brevity
was the synonym for excellence.
He loved his wife devotedly, enjoyed
hearing from her often, and always
devoured her brief letters with the
keen appetite of an enthusiastic lover.
But to wade through a long, drawn
out letter of 16 pages was to him an
utter waste of time and eyesight.
So one day his heart danced with
delight at the receipt of the follow
ing from her Ca perfect gem Of thing
so short and sweet-so to the
point:
M d. l.,

He read it:
my darling love:
Il barely sleep, dearest, for think
ing night after night Of thee. With

He should nave read it thus:

The principal reasons for pruning
d. peach tree, according to a recent
bulletin issued by the United States
department of agriculture, may be
summed up as follows:
Cd To modify the vigor of the tree.
ca To keep the tree shapely and
within bounds
(4) To open the tree top to admit
air and sunshine.
60 To reduce the struggle for exis-
tepce in the tree top.
co To remove dead or interfering
branches.
CD To aid in stimulating the de-
velopment Of fruit buds.
90 To thin the fruit.
(9) To make thorough spraying pos
sible.
(10) 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 tree
receives the first two or three years
after it is planted has much to do with
its future. Mistakes in forming the
head or the results of neglect during
the early years in the life of tree
are practically irreparabIe. On the
other hand, if the tree is we'll formed
and properly pruned during it's first
years, the foundation for good tree
Is established; subsequent errors in
pruning, if they occur, may admit Of
correction without permanent harm to
the tree.
A question frequently asked it,
When is the proper time to prune
peach trees?" In general, the answer
to this inquiry is, During the dormant
period, preferably in late winter or
early spring, just before growth starts,
except in regions where bleeding from
wounds is likely to occur In such
regions it should probably be done in
early winter. But conditions and the
object of the pruning must be consid-
cred in each case. If the pruning
operations are very extensive, eco
nomic requirements may make it
necessary to prune throughout the
winter whenever the weather is suit
able for men to work in the orchard.
If the fruit buds are endangered dur
ing the winter by adverse tempera-
lures, it viii be advisable to delay
pruning as much as economic condi-
tons permit until settled spring wealth
er arrives. This is especially advisable
if heavy heading in of the previous
seasons growth is involved, since the
proportion of live buds may determine
the extent to which the cutting back
should be carried
A limited amount Of summer prun-
ing can usually be done to advantage.
The trees should be observed con-
stantly throughout the season of 1ac-

THE GALA AND ITS CULTURE
BY BESSIE [. PUTNAM.


Rich soil, moisture, warmth, and
sunshine are the key notes to success
with the Gala. 1t can-yes-must be
made to bloom in winter without much
sunshine If the other essentials are
supplied
If wanted for winter blooming it is
best to let it rest in summer, turning
the pot on its side, in some out of the
way corner. Repot in September, fill
ing in layer Of charcoal for drainage
and food.
Over this put layer of manure well
rotted, and finish with a rich compost.
Water cparingly until growth COM
mences, and then the water can hardly
be supplied too freely.
Always use warm water. The roots
will enjoy 1t quite hot, but this is
death to the stem. Some place a ring
of tin around the base of the stem,
pressing it down an inch into the
soil. With this protection the hot
water can be freely used
Bottom heat may also be supplied
by placing the pot on hot brick. BY
keeping pair of bricks for this pur-
pose and alternating every II hours
the buds can be forced more freely.
Give liquid manure once or twice
week, gradually increasing the dose as
the plant seems to thrive.
Rout the red spider by spraying
with cold water, and the scale with
soapsuds.
When two leaves appear successive
ly from the same stalk, watch for
bud next. Others will succeed 1t
through the winter If the treatment
outlined is adhered to. Bottom heat,
moisture, and all the sunshine posi-
Bile are the best incentives to growth.

ASHES DISCOURAGE BUGS

Especially among asters l find
great value in ashes, containing as
they do phosphates which tend toward
sweetening the soil. No parasite will
contentedly find courage to live in or
enter such an unpleasant soil home.
Ashes are also beneficial in strength
ening and stiffening stalks and for
this reason | advocate them for gladi-
olus beds-but not mixed with ma
nure as some might do-rather strewn
over the surface soil after fertilizers
have been well worked in. When thus
treated they seem to release the am
monia of the fertilizer, relieving it of
it's most valuable properties.
