PRUNE ORCHARDS
 AT RIGHT THE
There Is No Orchard Operation That
 Seems To Be So Generally Understood.
By J. g. Knox. Horticuiturist, Exten-
 sion Division, University of Arkan-

By J. g. Knox, Horticulturist, EEten-
 sion Division, University of ArKan-
 sas.
 There is no other orchard operation that seems to be so generally nisun- derstood as that of pruning. It is quite common even at the present time to go into the orchards and find trees that have been prdned for years with nothing more than q pole aN, and it is almost invariably the case that wherever the work is done in this way the trees are in bad condition. There was a time years ago when the use of the axe vas permissible, because there was nothing better on the market, but today when imple- ments made especially for pruning work can be had at a small cost there. is no reason why we should half do the pruning work. A complete set of pruning implements, con sisting of swivel blade pruning saw, a pair of looping shears and a pair of hand shears can be purchased for about $500, and these are all that the small orchardist needs 10 do real ffrst-class pruning work.
 Before beginning the pruning, one should first familiarize himself with the fruiting habits of ais trees. Alp pies and pears. for instance. are borne oa lateral buds of the past seasons growth. The removal or an Of the short spurs or branches from the cen. ter of 8 tree may make it look better, but when it comes to the production Of fruit it will all be near the ends of the branches; consequently the tree is less able to support the weight. II should be remembered that the nearer the main body Of the tree the fruit spur grows. the 1ess the strain from the weight of the fruit will be on the tree. With peaches, since the fruit is grown on wood of the past seasons growth. t stands to reason that a poor growth means a poor crop of fruit It is well known fact that pruning is one Of the best methods of stimulating growth in trees, and, generally speaking. trees making a good vigorous growth are not so cas- fly killed by insect or disease as are those making a slower growth.
 There are several good reasons for pruning, some of which are as fol, 1 lows:
 CD It eorreets undesirable grow ing habits of trees. For instance, some fruits, such as pears, have ten

Scale is eesy to control if we only go after it right. The solution must, however be applied during the winter or dormant season since it is sthong enough to do great damage to young leaves CT fruit. If the best results are to be obtained 1t is absolutely es- sential that She orehardist know the exact strength of the solution and that it is strong enough. Tn order to be able to avoid costly mistakes every orchardist must equip himself with lime sulphur hydrometer which can be purchased for about dollar. This instrument will en, able one to know the exact strength of the solution which he is using The solution should test about 4.5 degrees at temperature of 50 degrees r. when ready to apply for scale. The following table is taken from Farm CTS Bulletin No. $50. which may be obtained by writing to the Extension Division of the University of Arkan. sas, Fayetteville.

oency to grow straight upward with all of the branches in a mass. This habit can be partly prevented at least by cutting 10 outside buds.
 CD T. makes the tree more nearly balanced. If one side of the tree be- comes heavier than the other we can c6rrect this by cutting back the heavy growing side to correspond with the lighter.
 (9) It allows the fruit to grow larg- CT and color better Every fruit bud that is left on a tree that is above what is really necessary is a disad- vantage to that tree, and the remain ing ones are better off without it. When trees are kept pruned they are natually of less dense growth, and this allows the sunshine to enter among the branches and color the fruit
 f4) It facilitates the spraying and harvesting of the fruit Trees kept pruned do not grow so tall as those not pruned, and If by pruning we can keep the trees headed tow enough so that we can both spray and gather the fruit from the ground, then we have done away with a great deal of unnecessary expense in the spraying and harvesting of the crop.
 (5) It Iessens the chances of dis ease getting into the trees. Almost every yaar some of the branches die or a caHker gets started on some part of the tree If the dead branches are kept pruned out and the cankered limbs removed in time it may save the life Of the tree
 (6) It Iessens the damage done by winds or by heavy loads of fruit, be- cause trees pruned regularly are of a stronger, stockier growth than are those not so pruned.
 Prune at the Right Time.
 It should always be borne in mind that the first three or four years in the life of tree is the time to do the most vigorous pruning. At this early stage it is possible for us to shape the tree almost as we like, but if we wait until the tree is old it is almost impossible to make it conform to our wishes. If you are interested in work of this kind and want assist ance in getting the work started, please write to the Exchange DivI sion, Old Statehouse, Little Rock, Arkansas.

SAN J0SE: SCALE
 AID IT5 CONTROL
Hundreds of Acres of Orchards Are Killed Yearly By This
 Insect.
J. s. Knox, Hortiouiturist, Extension

J. 8. Knox, HoTticulturist, Extension
 Division, University of Arkansas.
 Possibly there is no other insect that has done. and is still doing, more damage in the orchards of Arkansas than is the San Jose Scale. It Is also true that this insect has been the subject of Q great deal of discussion, yet ii remains fact that there are still hundreds of acres of orchards that are being killed by this insect; thousands of dollars are lost annually because of it and the majority of peo- pie still do not know what the insect is like.
 The scale is a small yellow louse which spends the winter in the half grown stage beneath the tiny gray scales which may completely cover tAe body Of the tree. Soon after the spring opens and the weather be- comes WaHn these insects which have )assed the winter successfully reach he adult stage when thousands of foung ones are born The young scales crawl about on the body of the rec for short fme until they either perish or ind q suitable location. If avoIablv located ne tiny beak O. pro- bosis is inserted into the soft tis ue = the tree and the scale begins to 2ed upon the sap Of the tree Scales ever change their position after be- oming established. and shortly after stahishing themselves a small scale
 gins to form over their bodies It is
 7lieved that in the South there are
 ur or five broods every year. It
 ua1ly requires only three or four
 ears for the insect to kill tree. IS ome may live longer, but de not Lear profitable crops of fruit. Trees attacked by the insect usually make q very poor growth, the body turning sn ashy gray color owing to the nu- 1aerous insects which cover it and Eenerally, especially in peach trees. U ? tops and tips of branches will die while vigorous young shoots will como ct on the lower portion Of the tree.
 the tops are killed and these young q outs appear there is still chance 10 make a useful tree. Cut off the dead portion and spray thoroughly with the lime sulphur solution. It is cnly a question of a few years until s.l states will be quarantined so that --fTo- fruit or fruit trees having scale can be shipped into them. Several ai tes have such a law now. but pos silly few of them are enforcing 1t.

HIGH COLLAR BOON TO MANY Readily Accepted by Woman With Neck So Long That It Makes
 Her Lack Style.

The girl or woman with the neck so long that it seems to separate her head from her body too much and makes her lack style and a smart ensemble can do no better than to thankfully turn to the new high-necked blouses, dresses and coats. There are plenty of new and fashionable models already worn by Well-garbed women.
 In q beige jersey dress there is a high-stock beige collar which eneirc.es the neck and buttons in two straps one side Of the collar in front. The blouse part of this dress is slashed out in long, narrow U-shaBed piece, showing the white lawn guimpe, to which is attached winged points that fall over the beige stock.
 In an older woman's one-t Ieee dress the dress top is cut to cross safplice without draping. Above the pointed neck opening shows q chenisette of white pique with an attached stand ing collar at the sides and back. This collar folds over at the top about an inch. The skirt attached to the top falls. in alternate box and side pIaits. It is one of those new coat dresses which have the half1oose easy it CT long coat.
 A dull leather belt pulls it in. not to define the waist, but as in q coat, at almost hip length. Such coat is much more becoming to q matron, because of the easy way corsets are cut i'll these days to give comfort to the body.

KEEP ROADS IN GOOD SHAPE
Spiit-Loa Drag Is of Great Service in
Keeping foadways in Economi-

The use of the road drag is i'm
portant in putting the roads in good
shape for winter use. There are over
100000 miles of earth roads in the
country, and the split-log drag is Of
great service in keeping them in eco
nOmical repair. The drag is used in
many states and in foreign countries.
1t is used with two, three, or four
horses, and is easily constructed
Drags are often constructed of
planks instead of logs. The plank
should be strengthened along the mid
die line by IL by G-inch strip. \ tri
angular strip may be used under the
lower edge of the blade to give the
proper cutting slope.
Usually two horses are enough to
pull a drag over an ordinary earth
road. The team should be driven

Should Ee Changed Occasionally
--Eurn I'll Rubbish.

The nest materials, such as hay.
straw, excelsior, leaves, etc, should
be changed occasionally, as foul ma
tcrial is a good breeding place for
germs of diseases. Insects are also
Iikely to har5or in the old nests if the
materials are not changed from time
to time,
at this season of the year attention
should be given to cleanliness. All
rubbish such rs cld nest materials
should be burned or carefully f)I,ui-

Tie nest should be removed with
clean, sanitary materials. Those Who
DO not think it makes much difference

tary nests and often '.stcal their nest"
