WHERE KING AND

The lecture where King and
Country Call gwen by Miss Helen
Better of Carroll, at the Congrega-
ttonal Church last Wednesday eve,
was considered one of the finest
things that has been given in Ex-
Ira in many moons Miss Better
has recently returned from Eu-
rope, and having had the education
and natural appreciation to grasp
situations and the literary ability
to make the most of the material
upon her return to America, she
has a splendid entertainment to
offer the public, and the fact that
she held her audience spell bound
for almost an hour and half
proves that she tells her story
well.
Miss Be:ter's platform PERSONAL
ity is very pleasing and her de-
livery is fine She has material for
several splendid lectures and we
hope sometime to be given anoth-
er such treat. Her insight into
war conditions is interesting and
instructive and every boy and girl
as well as older people who heard
the lecture received first hand
information hich it is impossible
to get in any other way. Miss
Better ~~ill always be welcomed

SHORT COURSE FOR
ROSE VALLEY DISTRICT

There was a three days Short
Course held in the Miles Gardner
home in northeast Melville town
ship, commencing yesterday and
continuing today and tomorrow.
One hundred tickets were sent far
sale to defray the expenses and
all We're subscribed for ina short
time.
Under the guidance of Ames
College the things that we all de-
sire to know will be explained
scientifically at our homes if we
so desire.
In this case, the school house
which naturally would be used for
this occasion was considered not
large enough nor convenient enough
SO the offer of neighbor to
hold the course at his farm was
accepted.
1t is an admirable arrangement
for convenience and comfort to all
concerned and is but the begin
ming of many more of like nature.
The courses haudled during the
three days included Domestic
Science for the ladies, and grain,
horses, cattle and hogs for those
interested in the farm.

1t is Pruning Time.

1t is Pruning Time.
Have you ever tried your hand
at pruning? The successful fruit
growers over the state of Iowa are
just now giving a good deal Of
attention to this work?
There are some good reasons
why fruit trees should be pruned;
and what is more there is a good
reason why it should be done at
Just about this time Of the year.
A fruit tree should be low and
spreading so that the fruit can be-
easily picked and also the sun
can shine in among the twigs and
leaves when the fruit is being
made. One Of the reasons for
pruning is that it enables us to-
give. the tree the shape we wish it
to have, and also to let the sun
light into the parts of the top that
it would not reach if some of the
twigs and Limbs were not removed
Another good reason for pruning
is that we can remove dead and
diseased limbs before the rest Of
the tree has become damaged
Some Of the worst diseases Of
fruit trees can be controlled sim
ply by cutting out the diseased
limbs once year and burning
them. SIS
However, the best reason for
pruning is that it makes the
trees grow more vigorously espec-
tally if the work is done in the
dormant season. If mot done ASn-
til summer, though, the result is
liable to be different, for very Of
ten summer pruning, sets trees
back instead of stimulating their
growth. Winter pruning, on the
other hand, ii done properly prac-
tically never has anything but a
good effect upon the health and
yigor of the trees.
How would you prune an apple
tree if it became necessary for
you to do it'll
Practical fruit growers give us
only about three rules for this
work 1t is much harder, however,
to follow them than it is to read
them when we see them in print.
Here they are:
First: Remove all water sprouts.
By water sprouts we mean those
long, switch-like branches which
bear no fruit. They are always
taken away u1less tn,ie is so4Aa
vacant space in the treetop to
which one can be led. In this
case it is later cut back and in
duced to bear fruit.
Second: Remove all dead limbs,
all limbs which rub or injure 9TH
ers, and those which make the in
ner parts of the tree dark and damp
Third: Begin at the top and wo
downward. In this way it is easy
to see which branches should be
cut away to let the sunlight in
freely; but if we start at the bot
tom, this is almost impossible.
If you follow these rules, no
one will ever call you a tree but
cher. Fruit growers, you know,
say that this is just what other
folks are.

and see everything for himself. and
consequently, must rely upon the
people who live here to enlighten
him.
