PRUNE CITRUS IN JANUARY
1t is the Last of the Best Months in
Which to Do the Work.

Citrus growers should remove all
the dead wood from their trees in De-
cember and January. This is the best
season of the year for pruning as the
trees are more nearly dormant than
at any other time. and if possible, pru-
ming should be done in this season if
the best results are to be expected,
says the University of Florida expe-
riment station. This is specially true
where the trees contain any amount
Of dead branches or weak growth.
This dead wood harbors the melanose
fungus and it should be removed from
the trees and destroyed before the
/ new spring growth and fruit appear.
A great many trees have suffered
from attacks of withertip the past
season which is directly responsible
for large amount of dead wood in
them, and all trees in this condition
should be thoroly pruned as soon as
possible. This will prevent contin-
uation of withertip in the spring and
will remove an active source from
which melanose may spread at later
date
All rubbish and drop fruits in the
grove should be taken care of, either
buried so they will not be brought to
the surface when cultivating or re-
moved from the grove and burned. In
groves where melanose has been Sc
we're the past season the trees should
be thoroly pruned at this time and a
thoro application of bordeaux mixture
made before the new growth comes out
in the spring. This will serve as a
cleanup spray.
In pruning, clean, smooth cuts
should be made, and no projecting
stubs left. Where large cut surfaces
are exposed, they should be painted
over with some antiseptic, such as
avenarius carbolineum, white lead
paint, or pine tar.
The matter of getting help to do
this work is up to the grower. La
Dor is scarce now but there is little
prospect of conditions getting better
soon,

were war in Europe now with the
assistance of the Allies. or war
hereafter on our own soil without

not simply war TO make the
world safe for democracy, but a
struggle to save even the SEM

to save womanhood and childhood
and manhood from the ruthless
savagery of barbarism; that we
believe every man in this country

to death rather than that We
