Irndastrable Street Trees


Rapid growing trees as q class are
week wooded and short-iiyed. Exam
pies of such are poplars, willows, cot
tonwoods and box elders.
The box elder is a worthless tree.
As rule it is of small, struggling,
growth that harbors all sorts of in
sects and diseases which litter the
walks. 1t is used in western street
planting because of its resistance to
drouth, but there is no excuse for it
here where one may have such sterling
good trees at elms, oaks, hackberries,
ash, maple, Eastwood, etc.
In farm wind breaks box elders
serve as an excellent pioneer tree
where protection and shade are want
ed in short time. Other hardy and
more desirable trees should be plant
ed to take the place of the box elder
eventually. The cotton maple scale is
very dangerous pest of this tree in
this part of the state. This fact, to-
gether with it's inferiority for shade
and timber, is reason against its being
so largely planted as in the past. 1t
is dirty unsightly tree and the soon
err replaced with others the better.

Why We Prune Trees.

To remove dead wood. The reason
we remove dead wood is obvious. 1t is
in the way. 1t breeds disease; it is
unsightly and dangerous. The way
to do is to cat out dead wood, smooth
off the surface so that the water will
not gather. If cavity remains, paint II
with a lead paint to keep out fungous
and insect pests, then fill the hole with
a material that will keep out the mois-
ure. and squirrels, etc, and upon
which a new bark may find support.
To remove crowded branches
Branches that rub against and bruisc
one another when the wind blows
should be taken out as soon as posi-
ole. The branch should be cut off clean
and close to the main stem with
slanting cut so that water will drain
off. Then coat with tar or lead
paint to keep off water and IN
sects which bore into and lay eggs IN
green wood.
Trees are also pruned to remove I'M
balanced parts and create more dense
shade.

Drainage.

In order that chemical changes
which makes plant food available may
take place it is necessary that there &c
ar in the soil. Roots need air and
they will not grow i'll soil IN which the
ar spaces are titled with water. Most
of us hive noticed the poor growth
corn makes on fiat, level land needing
drainage. The corn will terminate all
right and grow few inches and then
turn yellow. Wherever water IN the
suO-soil is within two feet of the sur
face for d considerable portion of the
growing season we have a condition
unfavoraDle for the best growth OF
drops and drainage is needed. The
cause Of insufficient natural drainage
may be due to the extremely fine tex
ture of the soil as in heavy clay LANDS,
to an impervious hard pan, or to IN
sauIclenC sIUpe.

In other instances, plaid and plain
ginghams are used to make the popu-
lar MILDLY dresses with slip-over blous-
es and pleated skirts. With the plaid
used for the skirt and to trim the
blouse, dress of this kind is exceed
ingly attractive for summer wear.
Ginghams are crisp and cool and may
always be kept looking fresh.
The separate skirt of plaid or check
ed gingham,to wear with white cole
and batiste waists, is also a pleasing
ovelty for summer. The skirts are
sometimes made with belts of silk in
some bright color matching one of tn:
colors in the plaid or stripes as the
case may be. Smart bingham blouses
are trimmed with white pique collars
and cuffs, and buttonholes bound with
the pique.
The new blouses that look like coats
keep rising in popularity. They are
especially smart in costumes of jer-
sey cloth. A very attractive model ir
plain and checked jersey is shown in
the sketch and with it is worn one of
the fancy girdles that are all the rage
just now. These new girdles are II
metal and celluloid, and come in va
riety Of colors. Very pretty are those
of colored stones with oxidized silver
or gilt chains. Others are made of
squares or circles of jade, jet, amber
or ebony, linked with metal chains.
Girdles of this kind are used with
coats as well as with dresses.
Vests Appear in Suits
Some of the new tussur summer
suits are trimmed with silk fringes
around the edges of the coats. Silk
fringes are also used to finish the mar
row silk or cloth girdles with which
most frocks are provided.

serges suits are frequently made with
vests of bright colored satins, or the
embroidered Oriental silks. In the
wooden suits, collars and vests are
made of broadcloth, striped silk or of
natural colored pongee. Sometimes
the vests are embroidered, and, again,
the edges are bound with braid to give
a neat tailored finish. Detachable COL
lars of blue and white striped cottons
on dark blue serge and twill suits have
also been noticed as we'll as those in
silk.

The waist of this costume is made
with kimono sleeves of the loose, bag
gy type, the kind that were in fashion
some time ago. The unusual V-shaped
collar and flaring cuffs add the note of
distinction which all such simple styles
require.
Sometimes long, straight tunics or
apron effects take the place of draper
les in frocks of silk, chiffon or Georg-
cite. A beautiful dress of white satin
for a bride was made with long
pleated apron Of fine white net edged
with white glass beads. The transpar-
ent glass beads are now being used for
the bead work, which is strongly in ev-
idence.
Ginghams for Summer Suits and
Dresses.
Bright, colorful ginghams in very
fine qualities have risen into promi-
hence and are used in fashioning not
only separate blouses and skirts but
also entire summer dresses and suits.
In making suits, the latest fad has
been to combine bingham with pongee
and other sports silks. A skirt of GIN
CHAM is used with a silk coat which

New York, Nav Z, 1917.

To keep apace with Fashion one
must be ever on the alert thees days
when there is constantly something
new appearing. We do not look for any
change in the silhouette, for that has
been finally settled, but there are
countless important minor details al
ways turning up which make the game
of keeping up with the model a very
interesting one. Almost each day
something new is brought to the at
tention; a certain material suddenly
rises into prominence, a new way Of
draping skirt is devised, and sundry
scenes are quickly taken up with en-
thusiasm.

Pruning.

Pruning is removing certain parts
OF plants Or trees to make them bet
ter and more productive, or to keep
t1em in manageable shape and to
Lake them easier to care for.
A fruit tree should be pruned mod
erately every year while an ornament
a tree should be pruned as often as
Is necessary to remove dead or super
flous branches and to keep it within
TIE limit designed for it.
The Agricultural Experiment sta
ton of Missouri puts out little pam
phlet on pruning trees in which the
author recommends the following rro-
ceedure. "There is right, and a
wrong way of pruning shade trees.
Topping should preferably be done
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1917-05-10

In opposition to the frocks that are
absolutely straight in line, there are
many ways of draping skirts to give
that slight puffiness about the hips
which is now one of the accepted
modes in the dressier type of frock
for Afternoon and evening wear. One
of the latest ways is by gathering the
straight lower section Of skirt to a
yoke, and leaving the sides free to
form Topped draperies which fall very
gracefully into position when the soft
pliable materials are used. An illus
tration of this charming style is shown
in the sketch. The dress is of pongee
trimmed with narrow bands Of ribbon.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1917-05-10
Planting Trees.

The hole for the tree should be dug
wide and deep. The harder the soil
the larger the hole should be, because
IN such case the rtae must start in the
loose dirt that is cut up in the bottom
or thrown into the hole. In a loose,
deep soil the hole need not be larger
than the spread OF the roots.
Trees should be set an inch or two
deeper than they stood before trans
planting. The roots that are broken
snould be trimmed off at the ends ana
should be spread out in planting to
tl@ir normal position. If there are
extra long roots, they should be cut
back to correspond to the rest. The
soil must be put in firmly about the
roots, especially under the fork, so
that there may be no air spaces left.
Inis may best be done with the fing-
ef, moving the tree up and down a lit
tie at the same time. The earth
SHOULD be stamped down once or twice
Mllile the hole is being drilled. Stamp
tie earth thoroughly before leaving It,
to hold the moisture and enable the
tree to stand up against the winter.
A good plan to conserve moisture
Ii, planting a tree is to put a mulch
CT straw, manure, grass, sawdust, ETC.,
around it.
The top of the tree should be short
ened at the time of planting so as to
correspond with the loss of roots in
transpianting.

Some of the Chief Benefits of
Drainage.

/. Improves the ventilation and
Iilvh OF ths soil.
Z. Makes larger amounts cf water
avoidable Tor crops.
). Permits the earlier working Of
the land thereby leugtAens the grow
i.S season.
4. Favors nitrification and ohtor
chemical processes.
5. Makes waste land available for
agricultural use.
.. Makes fields uniform so they
gan be managed TO better advantage.
z. UNFRAMED land interiors;
, with fencing.
$. Manure is more effective on
drained land.
9. Makes it easier to haul heavy
loads.
10. By carrying off surplus water
the roads adjoining the drained fields
are made more favorable after wet
weather.
IL. Improves sanitary conditions.
u. PIav-nVS teaching and trosiOns.
10. Well drained soil freezes deep
er and such freezing loosens up the
sub-soil. Deep freezing is especially
desirable in clay sub-soils.
At first thought it would appear
that in dry season drained land
would be the first to suffer but the
fact is that the reverse is true. In a
drained soil plant roots go down sew
er2l fest into the sub-soil, where in
~undrained soil roots stay near the sur
face. The reason for this is that since
roots need air they will not penetrate
soil in which all the air spaces are oc-
cuDied by water. AS soon as a dry
spell cones along the top soil dries out
quickly leaving the roots in the I'M
drained soil stranded out of the reach
CT water. The roots in the drained
soil will be down at depth where
the soil is always moist no matter
what the conditions nearer the surface
are.
IN examining fields for prospec-
tive drainage consider, % the i'm
provement Of soil conditions and in
creased production possible; (2) pos
sibilities Of securing a proper drain
age system; 80 the value of the
land and the cost of drainage It may
be cheaper to buy more land than to
drain what you have.

O'Keefe's Contest
Has Large Attendance
At Fort Lee Hotel

William O'Keefe, the Fort Lee re-
cluse, who lives all alone in a bunga-
loo near ,Greer's Hotel, Fort Lee, gave
a contest last Saturday night, about
100 being present Mr.. O'Keefe
needs an introduction to "The Pail
sadian's" readers. He is an old pro-
fessional baseball player, and is said
to have caught for Christy Mathew
son in that famous pitchers earlier
career. He was a great ball player
HIMSELF For several years he has
lived alone in Fort Lee, andeis at pre-
sent time enjoying sort of squatter
sovereignty privilege in home en-
tirely hand-built, and on property
not his own, but from which no one
has so far offered the slightest objec-
ton.
O'Keefe's annual contests have
now become an annual event in Fort
Lee, and there is always a pleasant
form of entertainment with them.
He is himself an entertainer of no
mean ability. He is wonderful imi-
tator, and some of his local take-offs
are so true to nature that the audi
ence generally feels that the person
initiated is present in the flesh.
Mayor White, Samuel Corker, and
others made short addresses at the
contest.

Surrogate Sibbald
Makes Unique Appeal

Surrogate Sibbald has the follow
ing to say about his performance in
toffice in special announcement issued
this week:
81 am not politician, but a poll
teal accident. | ran for Register of
Deeds in 1910 on a promise that /
would try to have the office abolished,
for it had just been created for the
then chairman of the Republican
county committee, and present coun-
ty collector, Mr.. Brohel, and Bergen
Countyn eeded it as much as a COW
needs eight legs. The office carried
a salary of $4,000 for the Register,
81, 500 for deputy, and pleasant jobs
for host of employees at as much
more. | was elected for a five year
term in November, had bills introduce
ed at Trenton abolishing the Office in
February, and got out on July 4th,-
a real independence day Bergen Coun-
ty. In the seven months l served,
cleaned up host of arrearages, got
papers back to their owners record
ed in ten days, and the county saved,
and is saving, $4,000 a year on sal
aries Of Register and deput yalone,
and probably as much more in sal
aries of unnecessary employees.

county arranging for election officers,
and he remarked that committeeman
who can't attend to this necessary
duty should resign.
1t was announced that the Mackay
Republican Club of Lodi would have
a rally on Friday evening, Sept. 21,
and all the candidates had been in
vited to attend.
Assemblyman Walter G. Winnie was
asked to introduce Lieut. Addison b.
Burroughs, of Hackensack, who had
been added to the Assembly bracket
in the place of Roy M. Robinson, and
he took occasion to tell why the lat
ter had been sidetracked.
"From the outset of the session
it was found that Mr. Glover and my
self could not work in harmony with
Mr.. Robinson" said Mr.. Winnie "He
was as often voting with the Demo-
cratic minority as with the Republi-
can, and we realized that our county
people were of the opinion that Ber-
gen was not being properly repre-
sented We determined that if we
were candidates again we would get
a Republican to run with U.S.
Lieut.. Burroughs said he was a
Republican, had always been a Re-
publican, " all reports to- the contrary
Notwithstanding The candidate al
so remarked. 81 never ran on a DEM
ocratic ticket for any office. l am
strongly behind Gov. Edge and Sena-
tor Mackay, and, if elected, will en-
deavor to aid my colleagues in every
way possible"
The plan to change the day of meet
ing from Wednesday to Monday
night failed, the. general opinion be-
ing that the matter should be left to
the incoming committee month
hence.
Fully 100 attended the meeting,
and all went to the Union League
Club later on and enjoyed refresh
ments.
