PRUNE YOUR TREES
BY w. G.. WOOLLEY

The objects of all pruning are: LIST,
to let sunlight into the plant; End. to
get all dead wood out; Bird, to make
vigorous and hardy growth; 4th. to
give shape to the plant.
In order that the sunlight be let in
to the trees it is necessary to prune
out all suckers that are interfering
with well established branches. In
apple trees the center should be
opened up but not followed out. In
terfering branches should be cut out
from around the sides and il the trees
are old the top should be cut down
some.
Cut out all dead wood first. Dead
wood harbors disease and pests and
makes your trees look unsightly.
Pruning makes trees grow vigor-
ously in the branches that you choose
to leave. The fruit gets the benefit
of this vigorous growth and conse-
quently makes larger and more deli
cious fruit. Trees that spend their
energy in riotous living soon spend
their store and become wild and hard
to train. Pruning must be done every
year if you would have q good looking
well behaved, home orchard.
Have some definite shape in mind
and stay with it and year after year
prune to that idea. Your trees will
look better and produce better fruit
If you prune to an ideal.
Make the cuts as close as possible
to the branch part from which it is
cut. Paint the wound, if very large,
small wounds under four inches do
not need painting if cut close. Size
up your trees before starting to
prune. If the trees and young leaves
3-5 branch alternating up stem these
are to be used as the main frame work
Of the tree. Avoid having two
branches come out opposite one an
other. Prune with an idea of having
your fruit down near the ground in
stead of SO high up that a balloon
must be used to pick the fruit.
Use pruning instruments, don't use
an AK to prune with-a saw and prun-
ing shears are all that are necessary.

JUST take careful survey of the portions of
Main street which were surfaced with that splen-
did natural gravel concrete last winter; compare
the condition of the street this year with what it
was last; then ask yourself if we ever expended
labor to better advantage on improvements in
this community. We believe it will be an inspira-
ton for the extension of the work next winter
Just as far as possible in every direction There
is nothing that tends to create better impression
or town than nice smooth streets. And by the
way, those abrupt, sharp crossings which connect
the walks on opposite sides of the streets at many
places are the measliest kind of small town prac-
tice, and should have no place nor countenance in
the foremost city of the SOUTH Every time a
stranger rides over one of these bumps in his car
it means a curse, either audible or mental against
the backwoods practice that permits them. No
city OF much consequence has them. Some say
that they are protection against speeding. All
humbug. We have city ordinances to regulate
last driving and officers to enforce them A few
arrests and punishments will control the speeding
practice if it becomes nuisance
