winds make the wounds slow to heal,
and there is danger Of forming a dis
eased spot where the cut is made.
Some claim that when large branch
is removed, it will heal faster when
removed in midwinter, but there are
some serious objections to that rule.

/ have found February and March
a very good time to prune when the
trees need severe pruning.
With grapes, have found that those
pruned in the fall, and those pruned
in the winter and spring, made about
the same amount of fruit and wood.
We have followed this practice for
a number of years and have not no
ticed any difference in the effects of
the fall, winter or spring pruning, in
our 30-acre vineyard.
But we have noticed one advantage
in late winter or spring pruning OF
grapevines, and that is the fact that
deep snow often breaks the canes that
have been left after pruning, worse
than when they are left attached to the
wood that is removed early in the
spring.

WHEN AND HOW TO PRuNE
ey l. N. BENNINGTON.


The pruning of a fruit tree or vine,
should commence the first year; but
as very few Of the fruit growers grow
their own trees, 1t is not necessary that
we make close study of the manner
of pruning nursery stock, except that
we should understand what class of
trees to select for planting, when we
are able to make our own selection.
In preserving nursery trees, avoid
a slender and top-heavy tree that is
unable to sustain its own weight of
leaves. Avoid the trees that have the
head formed too high, and one that
has fork or crotch that is liable to
split down when loaded with fruit, and
leave you with a crippled or ruined
tree, at a time when 1t should be in
its prime.
AS soon as you get your trees from
the nursery your time for pruning COM
mences.' II you are starting an apple
tree that is of dropping variety, start
the head higher than you would if it
is an upright grower.
Trim off all bruised and injured
roots with a sharp knife, leaving a
clean-cut surface that will form cal
lus, and begin to send out new feed
ing roots at once. The top should be
trimmed to correspond with the roots.
Trim Off corresponding amount
from the top, to balance the loss. On
the other hand IL all the roots are
saved, 1t will not be necessary to Sc
verely prune the top.
In forming the head of the tree, plan
IL so that the side toward the prevail
ing winds will be little heavier than
the side opposite; some even lean the
tree toward the direction of the pre-
vailing wind.
When we prune a tree, we must keep
in mind the fact that the limbs and
roots are co-workers; and when we re-
move a large amount of the top at any
one time, we check the action of the
roots, and consequently the growth of
the tree.
The first few years after an orchard
is planted, the trees should be pruned
twice n year, very lightly once In late
winter or early In the spring, and again
In the summer. Il will be better to cut
or pinch OF the shoot in summer, than
to allow 1t to grow and cut 1t off in the
winter. The wounds heal more rap
Idly; and when the shoot is removed,
its energies go into the development
of the tree.
When cutting Off a limb make the
cutting surface as small as possible,
so that 1t will heal quickly. Gut close to
n shoulder, and do not leave a stub to
decay and run down the main branch
or trunk. Try to do all the pruning
possible with the pruning knife, alto
lgether sometimes it is necessary that
you should use heavy tools. Wher
necessary to use n saw, select n fine
tOothed, rib-back saw. A pruning
chisel is dangerous to use on account
of its breaking many limbs. and not
making a smooth, clean cut.
The question of the best time ts
prune has never been settled to the sat
isfaction of all good horticulturlsts, but
in my opinion it does not matter much
if we only cut out small limbs and
prune frequently.
As soon as the leaves have fallen In
autumn, is advised by many to be the
best time to prune; however, some
cling TO the opinion that the cold, dry

A LAKE in the desert! Nor is it
~ the mocking fantasy of the
~ mirage that is spread before
us as we look down into the
bottom of this strange desert basin
from the height between Mortmere
and Dos Palmas, on the road from
Mecca to INLAND, north of the Salton
sea.
Quite a sizable body of water the
SaltOn sea is yet, writes Stephen III.
Willard in the Los Angeles Times, and
with the drainage of the irrigated area
of the Imperial and Coachella valleys
pouring into it, the promise is for its
area remaining the same indefinitely.
Years ago the Salton basin was un-
doubtedly part of the Gulf of Cali
fornia, and the Colorado river emptied
into it about midway of the whole
length of the gulf. But the "River of
Red" slowly pushed it's delta out across
the gulf, and then came a time when
the SaltOn basin was cut off, and an
inland sea, dead sea in fact, as it
had neither inlet nor outlet. Gradually
its shore line receded from the Mud hills
on the north and from the rocky slopes
Of the Santa ROsas on the south, until
only very small area of thick, briny
water remained in the very bottom of
the basin, at about 250 feet below sea
level. With the loss of the cooling eff
feet of this great evaporating surface
the climate of the basin became one
of the hottest in the world, and even
the Indians, who once hunted and
fished along the shores of the great
| gulf, took to the mountains and aban
doned the valley as land too hostile
to wrest a living from.
When 1t Was Flooded.
Then came the white man with the
railroad, and commercial use was made
of the immense salt deposits covering
the bottom of the old seabed. Bu'
later, with the development of the I'm
perial valley, came the break In ths
Colorado river intake and the coNse
quent enormous thrush of water to tn,
bottom of the basin. With the entir,
volume of the Colorado river pourin;
in, the basin was rapidly filling ul

What We Live For.

There is always something which we
are living for, some prospect which

spirit. The secret thing for which we
are living might seem to others, If they
knew of it, to be a trifling and ridicu-
lous thing, like the joys of the poor

a Blouse Hint.

Are you making a georgette crepe
blouse? Then before you take anoth-
er stitch, read this very attractive way
of treating the shoulder seams and
Rrmholes. For the very thin blouse
you have probably got in the habit Of
having the seams hems1tched for a
finer finish. With this method, how
ever, you fagot the sleeve into the
armhole and the shoulder seams to-
gsther, slipping several beads over
each fagOting stitch. The effect
gained is that of a solid bead beading,

ATTENTION TO SHADE TREES

Because Fruit trees are pruned,
there is a tendency to prune all trees.
In many cases it is inadvisable. Ex-
cept when trees are just planted or
when dead or broken wood should be
removed, hard naples, various oaks,
hickories, ashes, elms and other hard
wood trees require no pruning and
are better off without it. The poplar,
soft maple, box-elder and other soft
woods are the ones generally topped,
in an effort to prevent breaking of the
limbs. In some cases this is good
practice. The danger arises from the
fact that the work is often improperly
done.

A ThlmbIe for a Mouse Tran.

Put some moist cornmeal in an ordl-
nary thimble. Then put a china bowl,
upside down, the edge resting on tho
large end Of the thimbie. The mouse
will go under the bowl and begin to
nibble at the meal, pushing the thimble
outward to secure the last bits of meal
adhering to the sides. This will cause
the bowl to slip down over the mouse.

Cut Flowers Need Air.

II cut flowers are squeezed into a
vase so tightly that the air is exclud-

That Is the reason why many bou-
quets do not last AS long as they
should. A wide-mouthed vase is the
best kind TO use because it admits
oxygen In plenty. Tall, slender vases
are very attractive for long-stemed
lowers like carnations, but they have
one fault-the water in them becomes
warm very quickly, and this warmth

well Named DEAD sea.
When clouds drift over the noun
tains and cast their shadows on sea
and desert, the view from the north
shore of the sea is magnificent. The
scene is a picture in very high key,
play of strong color contrasts and of
bright light. When the waters of the
sea are quiet the clouds above are
mirrored on its green surface, and
across, the purple mountains stand in
the sphinxlike silence of the desert.
The bluish-purple cloud shadows fall
ing on the desert intensity color effect,
and transform the whole scene into
one of subtle enchantment. Down at
the waters edge the skeletons of dead
sage and greasewood remind us that
this body of water well deserves its
name, the Dead sea.
About six miles east of Mecca is the
oasis of Dos Palmas, once an impOr-
tant watering place on the old Chucka-
walla trail, from Mecca to Phoenix, via
the Ehrenburg ferry. 1t is about six
miles north of Salton station. at a de-
preston of about 80 feet below sea
level. Native fan palms grow near
the spring, as well as an abundance
of. salt grass feed for animals. Also
there are several acres, of cat-tails
and reeds. When the mines were in
operation in the Mccoy mountains,
northeast of Dos Palmas, roadhouse
was kept near the spring, and in those
4 days Hotel Dos Palmas was a popular
stopping place for the desert rat or

has officially requested Adiutant
General c.. S. Moody to telegraph
to the war department for per-
mission to organize a reserve

men to company.

national government to have re-
serves of this kind created said
Governor Alexander. "If my re-
quest is granted the organization
of the battalion will be taken up
without delay. The troops will
be used for the protection Of
home property and to fiji up the
ranks as men are needed on the
battle fronts.
These four companies will be
placed in as many cities in the
state. The cities have not as yet
been selected. They will be later
if permission is granted"
It is understood that the ad-
iutant generals department has
sufficient funds to finance the
equipment of the battalion and
that the troops so organized will
be under the direct command of
the governor of the state and the
