PEACE, TOO, TAKES ITS TOLL
Society Does Not by Any Means Need
War to Force Youth to
Destruction.

With attempts at suicide by three
children in one day, New York is re-
minded forcibly of the fact that youth
either assumes burdens that ought not
to be forced upon it or is poorly
equipped to meet the problems Of life,
observes the New York World When
boys and girls seek death as the one
remedy for disappointment, grief or
anxiety, we may not be surprised to
find despair and fatalism in the
nursery.
A good many people in America pro-
fess to be shocked because in Europe
lads of eighteen or even less have
been summoned to the colors. Yet 1t
is evident that there are responsible
ties arising from the strifes of peace
that are hardly less deadly than those
encountered in war
In most cases boys do not have to be
driven to battle When they are en-
tirely normal they are ignorantly
eager for the experience. In our So
cial, educational and industrial sys-
tenn we are pushing children beyond
their strength, without discipline and
knowledge, we are patting them into
the trenches as truly as are the war
lords.

sumably free from insect injury, points
out Doctor Merrill.
When planting, see to it that the
hole Is large enough so that the tree
may be set from two to three inches
deeper than it was In the nursery row,
is his advice.
When the position Of the tree is
marked by stake, the planting board
will be found of advantage for keeping
the trees in proper alignment. This is
board three inches wide and four feet
long, with a notch in the center and
one at either end. The notch in the
center is placed against the stake and
pin is placed in each of the end
notches. The board and the stake are
then removed and the hole is dug.
The board is placed between the two
pins and the young tree is placed in
the center notch and kept in the true
line of the stakes.
Before being set out, the trees are
puddled In a mixture of clay and wa
ter. This covers the roots and pre-
vents the root hairs from drying out.
All broken roots should be trimmed
back to the healthy tissue so that heel
ing will be more rapid.
Many trees are prevented from grow
ing by careless planting. The earth
should be worked under the crown, for
the presence of air will kill the young
root hairs. The exclusion of air may
be effected by raising and lowering the
tree after covering the roots with two
or three inches of dirt When the hole
is half filled and again when nearly
full, the soil should be thoroughly
tamped with the heels. Trees thus
planted are almost certain to start to
grow.
After the trees are planted they
should be headed, says Mr. Merrill.
If 1t is a one-year tree this will merely
consist of removing the top of the
straight whip to the height decided for
the head A low or medium-headed
tree is preferred. as trees thus headed
usually suffer less from winds and sun
scald, and the orchard operations
pruning, spraying and harvesting
cost correspondingly less than on high
trees. If headed too low the limbs are
forced out too close together and the
trees develop serious crotches in later
years. For low heading, IS inches is
a proper height and for high heading
"a inches.
For the two-year-old trees it would

have been headed in the nursery. The
limbs should be pruned so as to have
three to five of the strongest and best
shoots from which to develop the scat
fold branches, which should be evenly
distributed about the trunk These
should be headed back one-half to one
third their length, preferably to an
outside bud, so as to encourage the
development Of spreading tree.

Selection of varieties of fruit trees
for planting should be based upon
their adaptation to climate, soil, mar
ket demands and to some extent upon
the personal preferences of the grow
er, asserts F. s. Merrill, assistant in
horticulture in the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college. The last two points
are largely arbitrary buyers, for
instance. prefer red apples.
Certain varieties of apple trees are
adapted especially to particular sec
tions," says Mr.. Merrill. only these
should be planted. To some extent
apples adapted to a climate are re-
stricted by their soil requirements.
'The market demands play a more
important part in the commercial or
chard than in the home orchard, where
all apples are consumed on the place.
AS a general rule red apples command
higher prices than either the yellow or
the green or russets. Here the ap-
pearance of the apple rather than its
taste influences the judgment of the
buyer. Apples of soft texture should
not be grown when they must be han
died often and shipped to a distant
market. It Is usually advisable for
man to grow such varieties as he per-
sonally prefers.
Fall and spring paintings are both
recommended for certain sections of
the country, but for Kansas the spring

results than the fall planting. The
fallplanted trees are usually severely
injured by the freezing and thawing of
the ground before the roots are firmly
established. This causes the trees to
heave, making replanting necessary
the following spring.
Despite the fact that fall planting
is not advised 1t is considered a good
plan to order the nursery stock in the
fall so as to get the best trees Of the
desired varieties.
There is much controversy about
the proper age Of trees for planting.
The advocates for the one-year tree
assert-and rightly-that the trees cost
less, the freight charges are less, and
the trees can be headed at any point
the grower desires. A greater per-
centage of such trees will live be-
cause there is large amount of the
original root system.
Those in favor of the older trees
assert that they come into bearing
earlier. Whether or not this point is
trTe other ACTORS are IN favor Of ono
year-old trees.
"As soon as the trees arrive from
the nursery they should be 'heeled'
in a trench. They should be firmly
tamped about the roots to exclude air"
All trees coming from reputable
nurserymen must bear on the certifi-

mologist, which shows that the stock
has been inspected and that it is pre-
