PRUNING TIME IN ORCHARDS
Work Should Be Done Before Buds
Begin to sweil-Make Cuts Close,
Leaving No Stubs.
(By W. C. BRIERLY)

The orchard trees should be pruned
before the buds begin to swell. Trees
can be put into fairly good shape by
careful work, but this must not be
81 le all at once if it means the re-
moyal of a considerable quantity Of
wood. If properly done there will be
no evil results and the work of spray
ing, thinning, and harvesting Will be
made ca Ter.
Make all cuts close up 50 that no
stubs are left to die and start decay
in the heart of the tree. After the
wound is made, If it is more than
,hree-ouarters of an inch across be
sure to give it a good coat Of paint, or
If melted grating wax.
Cut all dead or injured wood for a
start and then remove some OF the
tangled crossing branches in the cen
-er. This viii open up the center and
rive fruit OF letter color on the shady
tide of the tree. Some heading-back
nav be needed. bur it will be best TO
cave that for another year if much
wood has been removed. Following
his plan will give moderate pruning
which will give best results.

enough that the wire can be pushed
in, it will be necessary to cut part
way in with a knife.
Two or three methods are available
for making the control of borers more
easy. In case of older trees, probably
the most important method is by
mounding, that is, heaping up little
mound Of earth around the base of the
tree. This forces the insect to deposit
its egg higher on the tree, so that
the worm will be located higher. 1t
is much easier to level this mound of
earth down around the tree to find
the borer than to have to dig away the
soil when it is left level. However,
mounding may not be practicable in
very stony land. In case of younger
trees, the best method is to wrap them
with wood veneer wrapper, and
mound a very small amount of earth
around these wrappers. This makes
it very difficult for the parent of the
borer TO get its eggs deposited in the
trunk of the tree.

source from which to obtain more Their guns are in bad condition and many weeks ago they lost practically all their artillery and machine guns It is doubted here if Villa has any cannon or more than two or three guns with little ammunition for them The killing at Columbus of Pablo Lopez deprived him of his most ef- ficient aid.
 The country through which Villa will be forced to fight or flee has been so harried in the last few years of civil war that the opportunities for forage have been greatly reduced His own plan of driving off and killing herds of cattle has further reduced his means of continuing the fight
 To the south of Chihuahua, across sandy and unproductive stretches of country, there are operating an un- known number of Villas men about Torreon and in the state of Durango These have lately conducted daring raids and are said to be in better shape than those Villa has with him CarranZa's army at the present is said to be not less than 5000 and he has increased his store of ammuni

 The de facto government forces are almost evenly divided in the north and south. General Obregon has in Sonora, his own state, more than 25,- 900 of the best men and an equal number is operating against rebels in the states of Moreloa, Oaxaca and Pueblo, south of Mexico City.
 In the region where Villa is now operating small CarranZa garrisons are located at most of the towns along the railroad from Juarez to Chihuahua and on the Northwestern railroad that makes wide sweep westward from Juarez to Chihuahua. This district includes Casas Grandes, where there is Mormon colony, Madeira, where Americans and Can adianS are employed by lumber concern and Pearson, where foreign interests also are located The 5000 troops Carranza today announced he had ordered to join in the pursuit of Villa, it is believed, will be taken
Arizona republican., 1916-03-11

Villa always has shown prefer ence through his years of outlawry for the mountains that parallel the boundary line of the states of Chi huahua and Sonora when forced to retreat There is reason to believe that he is now making his way west and south to seek shelter in the hills. He is known to practically every peon there and in the south near Guerrero are the people among whom he was born.
 Once back in the mountains and be- friended by those who fear him, as well as by those who idolize him, the bandits nature will tax American in genuity. In hiding and lodging from place to place he is recognized as an adept. and once the fox was a popular sobriquet applied to him.
 Should Villa concentrate his men the problem of his capture would be simple, say officers here, but they do not anticipate that he can be lured into an open fight. The most prom ising factor from the American view point is shortage of ammunition. It is known that Villas men have been conserving their already reduced stock of cartridges and have no

 OF BANDIT RAID

] would be raided, but luck was with them. Raley thinking that discretion was the better part of valor remained l in his room the entire time, lit no light and remained secure. He was pain !fully aware that the worst crime ever committed on American soil was being accomplished, but was absolutely help | less. He was not of course armed and his feelings when he realized he was helpless, can be imagined but not explained
 The federal troops said MT. Raley l cannot be commended too highly for l their part in the nights work Taken entirely unawares, they responded to I the attack, only as red blooded Amer
 jeans can. If it had not been for them l there would have been more murder rape and arson than there was The l bandits had fully expected to burn the entire town, carry of a good sized pile | of loot, including all the cash in the l banks The sudden response of the
 troops had the effect of a stream of
 water on a fire.
 | MT. Raley's estimate of the number
 of bandits engaged in the raid is placed
 at 1000. He bases his estimate on the
 rapidity and volume of rifle fire they kept up during the raid
 | Although practically everyone on the
 border is a democrat, they will unani- mOusly turn against President Wilson,
 unless he orders intervention. The i people near Mexico are about wild, the 1 sight of q Mexican face sets them crazy
 and if there is not international trou-
 ble, it will not be because those on the ] border don't want it.
 l MT. Raley's family knew that he was
 somewhere in New Mexico but they
 were not actually informed that he was
 in the ill-fated town at the time of the
 massacre. It was the merest luck that ] he went to the Hoover House, instead
 of the hotel that was sacked

from these garrisons.
 It was learned tonight that the state department did not ask Am bassador Arredondo to request per mission of his government for Amer ican troops to enter Mexico, or for the cooperation of the de facto troops, because it wished to avoid placing CarranZa in an embarrassing position. The department realized that if he were forced to refuse, the dispatch of a punitive expedition would be an act of war, while to accede might create friction for the first chief with the radical element always anxious to resent foreign in reference regardless of the motive
 Ambassador Arredondo merely was told by Secretary Lansing of the de- cision of the president, and tonight he sent this information to Carranza.
