Care of Evergreens

Evergreens may be planted several weeks
later than declduous trees.
Evergreens in confined places, planted
where they cannot fully develop, may be
clipped and kept in shape and at the size
desired. Arbor vitae, hemlocks, spruces
and juniper can all be treated in this man
ner. The pruning causes dense growth
and makes very beautiful thick specimens.
Especially is this true of the Norway
spruce, which when allowed to grow natur-
ally--that is, single specimens-become
open and by cutting off the head when 10
or ~ feet high it will form a compact and
beautiful tree. The white pine will stand
pruning, but most of the pines do best when
permitted TO grow on naturally.
In pruning always cut back to a bud
so the new growth will start from the very
tip end of the remaining part
Some evergreens become bare at the base
and are unsightly, The remedy is to head
them back and trim the side branches II
a head or leader Is lost in any confer, as -
sometimes the case, side shoot tied in an
erect position viii soon assume the position
of new leader Leaders should not be al
lowed to form on side branches, as they
sometimes do.

Says U. S. May Be Forced
to Take a Hand in Mexico
to Protect the Americans

NEW YORK, January 15.-Repre-
sentative Patrick H. Kelley of Michi-
gan, member of the House committee
on naval affairs. addressing the Re
publican Club here today. declared it
was possible that the United States
might be forced to intervene in Mexico.
Representative Kelley was one of the
speakers at an informal discussion on
the needs of the navy. Asserting that
the United States had no need of
great military establishment, but that
its navy should be at least second
among those of the great powers, he
said:
There is no great danger that Mexico
can come over here, but there is pos
sibility that We may have to go there
to carry out our international obligations.
Our navy and army are entirely sufficient
for that task We do not need a great
military establishment The natural and
normal protection Of the American con-
tinent is the sea. I am in favor of such a
navy as will make it impossible for any
great military power to land soldiers on
any part of this continent. ] do not know
how great that navy should be, but I am
prepared to vote for it, whatever its size"
In Favor Of Big Navy.
Both Mr.. Kelley and Representative
| Lemuel r. Padgett of Tennessee, chair
man of the naval committee, who also
spoke. declared the present plans of the
Navy DEPARTMENT would give the
United States a navy only slightly in
ferior to that which Germany possessed
at the outbreak of the present war.
Henry A. Wisewood, who recently re-
signed from the naval consulting
board because he disapproved the ad-
ministration naval program, took sharp
issue with this contention.
Mr.. Wood declared that the United
States had to face the possibility of a
war against an alliance of Germany
and Japan. He asserted that the Mon
roe doctrine promised to provoke us
into conflict with Germany and the
exclusion policy to provoke an attaca
| by Japan.
DIR. l.. II. Baekeland of the naval
consulting board urged the impor-
| tance of the government esta blishing
an experimental station at which sci
entif1c men could cooperate with the
naval engineers.
