THE PRUNING OF PEACH TREES.

The time is fast passing when peach
trees can be safely pruned, just as the
time is passing for this year when the
average farmer can take time from
other pressing work to attend to the
needs Of his trees. It may be possible
that there is no great interest in
peaches this year as one might Judge
from the fact that many old orchards
are being taken out. And yet if the
trees are worth keeping at all, and
there are the best of indications that
this is true if they are free from dis
ease, they need care at this time in or
der that they may be kept within
bounds during later years and that
they may have the most approved
shape.
Althugh opinions may differ as to
the proper height to head young peach
trees, evidence indicates that If they
can be made to start their lower BRAN

been made yellow by age. Nj.
Hundley referred to the many chang
es which have taken place since he
came to gdge6eld for the first time,
there being only about a dozen per-
sons now living who were members
of the church then. These and other
friends of Mr.. Hundley in the COM

Call to Prohibitionists.
Edgefeld
Prohibitionists

Prohibitionists of Edgefield
County: -,
Never before has the outlook fot
prohibition been so promising. I6
every county of the state there are
men at work circulating the petit
tions for the referendum. Four coun-
ties have already called for addi-
tional blanks, these being Laurens,
Darlington, Marlboro and Claren.
don.
That prohibition can prohibit and
will prohibit when we have faithful
NEIL in office, is proved by the ex-
ample of Russia, and the experience
of Kansas. This great corrective
measure was imposed upon the peo-
Pile by the Car, and the benefits
have been 80 apparent that we may:
expect it to continue in force per-
manently. (In The Outlook of De-
cember l6, is fine study of pro-
hibition, which ] very earnestly
commend to your consideration.)
Our temperance forces are united
in the demand for prohibition. We
favor the petition for referendum
because the Legislature will be much
more ready to grant a referendum
thereby submitting the question to
the people, than to enact law out
right, without a clearly expressed
demand by the people; Furthermore,
a campaign for prohibition will be
not only educative, but will evoke
compelling sentiment for prohibl-
ton which will tend powerfully to-
ward the enforcement of the law.
This is our time, and we must
not leave any step untaken which
will contribute to a happy issue.
We are opposing business deep
ly entrenched and heavily armed.
For our success we must have the
unstinted cooperation of all who
favor prohibition.
Yours very sincerely,
J. K, Breedin,
Secretary.
