THINNING AIDS FRUIT TREES
Overproduction of Seeds Exhausts VI"
taIity-Orchardist Should Aim
to improve Quality.

Thinning makes trees live longer
and produce more fruit in the course
Of time. The overproduction OF seed
exhausts the vitality of tree, and is
the chief cause OF short-lived trees
Thin fruit hard and keep the trees
alive and productive.
Thinning increases the fruit grow
ers' profits by increasing both the
quality and the quantity OF fruit pro,
duced within a space of few years

much fruit to sell, OF large size and

SAVING THE GIRDLED TREES
Injury Wrought by Pigs Rectified by
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Roots
Aided Materially.
IBy J. A. IDALL. Illinois.l

About two years ago friend had
ner four apple trees, two years
planted, girdled by some pigs that she
had turned in the same lot. They had
eaten the bark to the roots and up
for a foot. She asked ME If | could
save them. told her 1t was doubt
full. She then told me to do what
thought best. AS bridging was not
practical, l cut them off close TO the
ground and inserted two gratis from
the top OF each tree into the root the
best | could. waXed them thoroughly,
and gave them protection, Every
graft grew. The welldeveloped roots
caused them to grow wonderfully. and
| think the trees were quite as large
in two years as though they had not
been injured.

HERALD SERVED WITH NOTICE

in Herald's Article on the New Hope

In the case Of J. Burkett Vim.
cent, however, we regret that
we can retract nothing. The
statements we made, to which
he objects, are literally true.
Zone voter in the district" has
made affidavit before a magis-
trate" that he was offered a suit
of clothes to vote against this
special tax. We reproduce the
affidavit in question on this page
and from its perusal one may
easily gather the reason for J.
B. Vincent's exhibition Of spleen
for he is the man charged therein
with the attempted bribery.
Various voters, and by " vari-
ous' we meant and mean two
voters, in the district did re-
ceive blackhand letters, and we
repoduce the letters in question
on this page, in the full belief that
by so doing the writer of these
letters will be apprehended and
indicted.
Just why Vincent should
threaten to bring suit against
the HERALD is inexplicable to
US. He had full knowledge at
the time he gave US notice of &C.
ton, that every word of the al
'c.. "a ,iDel ci.eo IN nls conipia.nt /
was true. His idea Of what it
takes to constitutellibel is certain
ly different from ours.
So the HER.4LDS answer to
Mr.. Vincent's notice Of action ID
the proof Of every word it print
ed! Whether the affidavit in
question is true or not is a mat
ter to be decided by a jury, not
by it, and the HERALD will re-
serve opinion on this point at
present.
We do believe that the charges
Of attempted bribery and terror
ism in the New Hope-Hockaday
School Election of April 25th
should be thoroughly investigat-
ed and the party or parties
who have attempted to introduce
the cowardly methods of the
Italian Malta into the law-abiding

retted out and properly punished.

NEW HOPE ELECTION
STILL IN DOUBT"
Those opposing the special
tax for improving school facili-
ties have, it is charged, resorted
to bribery and black hand meth
DDS in their eagerness to carry
their point. One voter in the
district has made affidavit be-
fore a magistrate of the County
that he was offered a suit of
clothes to vote against the spec
ial tax, and this serious charge
Is almost certain to come before
the grand jury of the June Term
of Court.
Various voters in the district
received prior to the election
black hand letters written in red
ink threatening the lives and
property of the recipients, should
they vote for better schools. "
