UntruthfuI Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

Defaming a neighbor at the expense
of the truth does not help those who are
guilty of the practice, and it 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 we'll
known to 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 or
these people the opportunity to exer-
else their art, but in doing IL they are
only arousing the curiosity OF those
who read the statements and a trifiing
investigation will only reveal their un-
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 result or the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government number OF former
Dakota farmers who went to the Brit
ish 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 160 acres, which In the case
of many of the former residents OF the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to confiscation."
To show that the public has doubt
ed, hundreds OF inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only to bring out the most en-
phatic denial A full-fedged lie of this
/ kind has, of course, only short LIE.
! and will tell in the end against those
who forge it and spread ii, but, as
Winnipeg paper points out, it is mos
complimentary to the agricultural po'-
sibilities 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
i a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as
sessed value of all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications or
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 we'll as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. 1t is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation of the non-resi
dents. The high price OF grain fol

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:
% To modify the vigor of the tree.
(2) To keep the tree shapely and
within bounds.
go To make the tree more stocky
(4) To open the tree top to admit
air and sunshine
60 To reduce the struggle for exis-
tence in the tree top.
co To remove dead or interfering
branches.
CD To aid in stimulating the de-
velopment of fruit buds.
(S) To thin the fruit.
90 To make thorough spraying pos
sible
0O) To facilitate the harvesting OF
the fruit
The most successful fruit growers
habitually prune their trees as 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 ell 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
it's future Mistakes in forming the
head or the results of neglect during
| the early years in the life of tree
are practically irreparable. On the
other hand, if the tree is we'll formed
and properly pruned during its frs
years, the foundation for a good tree
is established; subsequent errors il
pruning, if they occur, may admit o
correction without permanent harm t
the tree
A question frequently asked il
when is the proper time to prun
peach trees?" In general, the answe
TO this inquiry is, During the dorman
period, preferably in late winter o
early spring, just before growth start:
except in regions where bleeding fror
wounds is likely to occur In sue
regions it should probably be done i
early winter. But conditions and tn
object of the pruning must be cOnsit
cred in ch case. If the prunin
operations are very extensive, ec
nomic requirements may make
necessary to prune throughout til
winter whenever the weather is sui
able for men to work in the orchar
IF the fruit buds are endangered du
ing the winter by adverse temper
lures, it will be advisable to della
pruning as much as economic conc
. tons permit until settled spring weat
er arrives. This is especially advisab

HEAD-oN COLLISION
Car and Runabout Containing Sales
men Bump at South Windham.

A runabout owned by the Walker
Pratt Manufacturing company of Bos-
ton. and q touring car with the Con-
necticut license number 11,0S9, which
is said to belong to c. G. Bostwick of
Hartford, figured in a headon colli-
sion in South Windham Tuesday ev-
ening. Both cars were considerably
damaged. but none of the occupants,
all Of whom were said to be sales
men with headquarters in Hartford
and vicinity, was seriously injured.
The collision took place where the
road to Norwich turns off from Main
street in South Windham, and is said
to have been caused by the driver of
the runabout, who was on the wrong
side OF the road, and pulled over in
front of the other car An amusing
feature of the incident was that the
parties did not know they were ac-
Quainted, and an argument was start
ed, which quickly broke up when a
nearer view revealed the acquaint-
anceship. One machine was towed to
local garage, and the other temp
orarily left by the roadside where the
accident occurred.
