SANTA FE R. R.
ENDORSES C0MMUN-
ITY WELFARE PLAN

The Santa Fe Railway company
endorses the Community We'll
fare program and has offered to
help it along. j. F. FARRELL of
Topeka. publicity agent and F.
W. Myers Of Pueblo. division
freight agent, attended the con-
ference last week and told how
the big corporation could help.
Mr.. FARRELL made three speeches
in the course of the conference,
giving the result of his investi-
cation of community activity in
the Southwest.
The only way to stop the drift
of young men and young women
from the country to the big cities
is through community effort, "
Mr.. FARRELL said. The Santa Fe's
investigation he explained, re-
vealed the fact that in thirty-sev-
en- communities in seven states in
which organized effort is made
to check the drift of young peo-
pie to town, the number leaving
the farm in 1915 was AZ per cent
less than the number reported in
1914. The saving to the farm
was the result of making home
and neighborhood life more at
tractive.
Mr.. FARRELL urged a close or
GaniZatiOn of town people and of
country people, on the lines of
the Commercial club and Cow
club. with pull together all the
time" as the slogan. He said
the Santa Fe would use it's ad-
vertising machinery to direct
the attention of homesteaders
and other desirable investors to
this part of the Arkansas Valley;
also that the company's engi-
neering department would be
pleased to advise with city or
township officers, free of charge,
regarding plans for public i'm
provements, especially bridge
construction and matters having
to do with drainage.
Mr.. FARRELL spoke of the labor
trouble on the railroads, which
he regards as serious. The
train service employees, he said,
demanded changes in their work.
ing contracts which, if granted,
would add one hundred million
dollars a year to the railroads
payroll. To meet the demand,
the railroads would have to raise
their rates. The people protest
against a rate increase. Mr..
FARRELL said that the train service
employees, who constitute only
eighteen per cent Of the total
number of railroad workers, al
ready receive twenty-eight per
cent of the total wages paid,
which he believed was more than
their share.

Pruning Young Fruit Trees.

Pruning Young Fruit Trees.
Train up a fruit tree in the
way it should go and when it is
old it will not depart from it.
1t is easy and cheap to shape a
young fruit tree so it will always
have good form; it is difficult
and expensive to shape an old
fruit tree that has been neglect
ed.
The main framework of the
fruit tree should be shaped in
early spring. Additional prun-
ing should follow from time to
time during the summer to fur
Their correct and guide the new
growth.
The center Of the young tree
should be pruned out, leaving
from three to five main limbs to
form the framework of the tree
This gives a tree with an open
center, to admit sunlight, and
with broad spreading limbs. A
broad, low tree is easy to han
die and fruits better. Much of
the fruit can be picked without
ladders. A low tree is easier to
.prune, spray and care for.
Peach trees are pruned most
severely of any of our orchard
fruits. In addition to thinning
out surplus limbs the main limbs
should be cut back one-third to
one-half of each seasons growth.
Cut to outward-growing limbs,
so as to favor an open spreading
top.
Japanese plums and nectarines
should be pruned like the peach,
and apricots and European
plums essentially the same but
less severely.
Apples, pears, and American
plums should be given ESSENTIALLY
the same shape of framework
but cut back with a medium de-
gree of severity.
Sour cherries are pruned least
of all our fruit trees at the Mis-
souri, Agricultural Experiment
Station. They should have the
open center and spreading main
limbs. The main limbs should
mot generally be cut back as
their terminal buds make the
strongest growth. If a limb is
in the way, it should be removed
entirely instead of being cut
back.
From time to time during the
summer, go over young trees to
guide their growth. If too many
limbs are starting from a given
point, they may be thinned to
the required number. If a rank
limb tends to fill the center or
cross other limbs, it may be re-
moved. If the strongest limbs
all grow in the same direction,
thus giving a one-sided tree,
they may be pinched back, thus
encouraging other limbs to start
on the opposite side to balance
the framework of the tree. In
the case of upright growing
varities, particularly, the main
limbs often tend to grow straight
upward instead of spreading. In
such cases the tips of these up
right limbs may be pinched back,
This will induce side limbs to
grow outword, thus securing a
spreading form.

SIMPLE RULES FOR FIGURES
Remembering These, One May Always
Be Sure as to the DivisibiIity
Of Numbers.

Il is often convenient to know
whether a given number is Invisible
by another without going through the
usual process of division. Almost ev-
eryone knows that, however large q
number may be, it is divisible by s
n the last digit is s or 0. The follow
ing gives the rule for some other num-
bers:
A number is divisible by 2 when the
last digit is Invisible by 2; by three
when the sun of the digits is Invisible
by 8; by 4 when the number repre-
scented by the last two digits is divis-
ible by 4; by when the number ends
in s or o; by 6 when it is divisible by
Q and also by 8; by when the num-
Der represented by the last three dig
its is divisible by 8; by when the
sum of the digits is Invisible by 9.
For example: The number LIPS is
divisible by 2, because its last digit. s,
is divisible by 2; by 4. because % is
Invisible by 4, and by s, because 72S
is Invisible by 8. It is also Invisible
by and by 9, for the sum of its digits
total IS, a number divisible by and
by 9. Since it is divisible by and
by 8, It is also divisible by 6.
To find whether I number Is divis-
ible by z, you must go through the
usual process of division.-Youth's
Companion.

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Work Since

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform day A.

and greater endurance by using Pos
tum instead of coffee. An Illinois

years, and finally had what the doctor

The first noticeable benefit which

my heart action was greatly improved
and my nerves steadier.
"Then I became less Respondent,
and the desire to be active again

They Give Good Results.

II Matching eggs are carefully

carry great distances and give good

to weaken a strong germ or kill a

Results Obtained From WeIl-caredfor Garden.

In each case those in charge or the
work select the additional vegetables
with reference to local agricultural
conditions, market demand and suit
ability for canning. Many garden COM
binations other than those suggested
are possible For instance, II the COM
munity is interested in canning soup
mixtures and creole sauce, they must
secure from their gardens tomatoes
peppers, okra and onions. In frult-
growing sections the girls are ADVISED
when conditions are right, to substl-
tute from five to ten fruit trees for
one of the vegetable crops. The men,
Der then becomes responsible for the
pruning. spraying and general care OF
these trees.
The development of crops of peren-
NAL vegetables and fruits is insisted
on at the end of the third year, and In
many cases the work is begun at the
end of the second year. The peren-
malls are substituted for some of the
annual vegetables, and the girls are
given circuit IHt Va IASi
bushes or trees which are not yet
bearing and therefore do not yield a
product that can be counted in the
canning score.
1t is hoped that as a result of this
planting of perennial fruits and vege-
tables several thousands Of the girls.
before many years. will have at the
end of their junior garden permanent
gardens containing some such profit,
able combinations as the following:
