This is Il purely personal matter, in which we
seldom indulge in this department A few days ago
a telegram from the Coconno Sun was received by
The Republican nquiring whether the editor was In
Jail Knowing Colonel Green be a hurnorist II was
assumed that he had chosen to pay telegraphic tolls
for the privilege Of perpetrating joke and no reply
was made. II busy night But certain things
have since occurred which convince us either that a
serious impression is abroad in the state regarding
restrictions which have placed upon the editor
or else there IS wide conspiracy jokesmths In
quires have from all parts of the state as
to the freedom or lack of it, of this paper
He is not in Jail. he has not been In Jail and with
his consent, will be in jail The rumor had its
origin in certain article appearing in The Repub-
lican week which very naturally was disturbing
TO the supreme court. If the members Of the court
had been irritable gentlemen or even gentlemen of
normal irrtability suppose somebody but not the
editor. would have gone Jail There was some talk
we believe Of issuing a citation though the court
itself INDUCED in such talk The court contented
itself with depreciation in terms effective as
Jail sentence would have been and the incident was
then closed
There are, 10 doubt, in Phoenix and elsewhere
in Arizona persons of morbid tendencies who like
the thrill of tragedy and some of our warm friends
among them, who would have liked to see how the
Jail bars would look with the editor of this paper for
background. The coconino Sun will please copy.

these natural filters do not cleanse the

pie there are sharp pains in the back

500 per acre, hardly enough to pay in
terest on the valuation of the land
and the expense Of growing the or
chard.
Some orchardists have hesitated to
assume the expense of equipping for
spraying, and Of employing the labor
necessary to properly prune the or
chard. There is a fear that should
the crop fail the orchardist would not
be in position to pay for his spraying
outfit and his spraying material.
Many Missouri orchardists last
spring complained that the rainy
weather and cold nights during the
blossoming period prevented the bloom
from setting fruit, or killed set fruit
on frosty nights. The killing was due
almost entirely to the fact that in neg
lected orchards the blossoms were
weak. In most of the properly man
aged orchards, at least a fair crop Of
fruit set and matured to fine condi-
tion, due to the fact that trees kept
healthy can usually set fruit even dur
ing trying weather.

VALUE OF SPRAYING
IN APPLE ORCHARDS
Demonstration Experiments Have
Been Carried on at the Mis-
souri, University.

During recent years the University
Of Missouri College Of Agriculture at
Columbia in cooperation with num-
ber of practical orchardists has been
carrying on demonstration expert
ments in the value of spraying, prun-
ing and the general renOvating of neg
lected orchards in Missouri.
The results of these demonstrations
show that apple orchards well man
aged can be made to yield the largest
profits of any Missouri farm crop. On
the other hand neglected orchards in
the same neighborhood hardly yielded
interest on the valuation Of the or
chard.
During 1917 the results of proper
spraying and pruning have shown
larger profit than in any previods
year. During the last year neglected
orchards have set very little or no
fruit. The little fruit which was set
here and there was for the most part
small, wormy and of low market quail
ity. Orchards properly sprayed and
pruned during the last two or three
years have set anywhere from a fair
up to a heavy crop of fruit. The quail
ity of apples on well-managed or
chards this year has been the best
produced in Missouri in recent years.
Orchards properly sprayed and
well managed have yielded anywhere
from $1OO up to several hundred dol
lars per acre, net. Neglected orchards
In the same neighborhOod have yielded
anywhere from nothing up to $1S to

SUCCESS WITH SHEEP FLOCK
Future Lamb Crop Depends Great Deal
on Feeding and Breeding and
Care of Ewes.

A great deal depends on the future
lamb crop, not so much for mutton as
for the production Of wool and the in
crease Of farm flocks. And the future
lamb crop depends great deal on the
feeding and breeding and care of the
ewes during the next few months, says
a writer in an exchange. The impress
sion that q sheep can subsist on any
thing may be partially true, but in our
many years of experience with them
I found that it pays, in the thrifty con-
ditiOn of both ewes and lambs, to give
the sheep careful attention.

Proper pruning of fruit trees is alb
SOlutely essential to the production of
good fruit. And yet there is no other
necessary work about u farm orchard
so constantly neglected.
And when it is done, in the majority
of cases, it is only half done. AS a
result of crowded limbs, and thick
foliage, half of the fruit produced is
of small size and bad color.
Now, all Of this inferior fruit is I'M
necessary, for it is entirely possible to
have every apple on the tree, of good
full size, and color fully up to the
standard of its variety.
There is no sufficient excuse for the
prevailing neglect Of pruning, for 1t
may be done in the winter time, that
season of comparative leisure in the
country. The months of November,
December and January make up the
right trimming season, says Iowa
Homestead. If done at that time the
wounds dry up so that loss Of sap
later becomes unnecessary. But If
this work is done in February and
March, it is so near the period Of the
flow Of sap that bleeding becomes In
evitable.
Much Depends on Age.
In pruning a tree to secure good
fruit, the amount of work to be done
depends upon the age of the tree, and
the previous work which has been
done upon it to keep it in shape.
A tree which has been entirely neg
lected until it is ten years old pre-
sents hard problem when you wish
to bring it into shape.
Three-fourths of the top should be
removed, but as to take that amount
off at once would be a serious shock
to the tree, it is customary to take
two years for the work, cutting out
half of the superfluous branches one
winter-and as many more the next
year.
The wise way is, never to let trees
get into that crowded, overgrown con-
dition.
Avoid All Crotches.

planted, all crotches should be avoid

ed and for the next two years trees
should be examined occasionally and
so cut as to secure well-balanced top.
For many reasons high tops are the
best-high enough so as to admit
full-grown man walking about them
upright.
AS the trees get larger naturally
more and more work will be needed in
pruning. Thrifty eight to ten-year-old
trees will make an astonishing growth
of wood in one season.
Bear in mind that the tops should
be kept thin enough so that the sun
light can penetrate to all parts. 1t is
light which makes perfect fruit-other
conditions being favorable.
Remove Weak Limbs.
In general, remove the weakest
limbs, and where two interfere cut
one. Then shorten in all branches
which show an abnormal growth, thus
preserving the symmetry of the tree.

. Owing to the prevalence of strong
southwest winds, it is best to plant
trees with a little inclination to the
two-o'clock sun, and in pruning en-
courge the heaviest top on the same
side of tree.
1t is customary to say: Make a
