WANTED-Nurse girl Can j70N.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1918-07-12
WHAT ia CAN
@l[[ E Be-

Surgeons General Gorgas and Braist-
ed of the army and navy, have ap-
pealed to the American Red Cross to
recruit $4,000 nurses in a campaign
which began June 8. The Red Cross
has issued several pamphlets urging
trained nurses to enroll for war serv-
ice and every trained nurse in this
country should answer the call. It
may be months before some nurses
may be called to the service and many
may not be called at all, but all should
register. Then the government can
sift out the $4,000 that it needs at
once.
1t Is stated that 20 per cent of the
registered nurses in America are in
private employment-that is, not in in
situations. The public must reduce its
calls upon trained nurses and employ
practical nurses instead so as to re-
lease these young women for war serv-
ice.
How to Enroll as a Red Cross Nurse.
Nurses desiring general information
regarding Red Cross work should adj
dress: Department Of Nursing, Amer
lean Red Cross, Washington, D. G..
Or applications may be made through
any local Red Cross chapter. Nurses
residing in the central division of the
country may send direct to Red Cross
Central Division, $50 North Wabash
avenue, Chicago, Ill.
The Duties of a Red Cross Nurse.
RED Cross nurses assigned to
military hospitals are charged with
the nursing care of the sick and
wounded of the army and navy and
become temporarily members of the
army and navy corps. They are SUBJ
ject to all the rules and regulations
governing the service. They are re-
sponsible to the chief nurse of the
Army and Navy Nurse corps under
the commanding officer of the hospital
to which they are assigned and are
expected to accept her authority with

Requirements for Red Cross Nursing
Service.
ITO be eligible for enrolment a
nurse must be graduate of a rec
ognized school for nurses, giving at
least two years course of training in
a general hospital. In states where
registration is provided by law, an ap-
plicant, to be eligible for enrolment,

Peach Tree After Its First Years
Growth in Orchard.

crop than on one which is heavily over
loaded, and the average fruit on the
tree with a moderate crop is of better
grade than the best fruit in an over
loaded tree.
The thinning should be done after
the "June drop"-which usually occurs
from q month to six weeks after the
blossoming period, when the imperfect
ly fortified and other weakly devel-
Oped fruits drop off-and before the
pits begin to harden. After the "June
drop" is over there is very little drop
ping of the peaches. Hence practi-
cally all the fruit which remains then
will be on the trees at harvest time.
1t will have to be picked then, anyway.
1t probably costs considerably less to
pick portion of the crop in June or
July and drop the fruit on the ground
than to pick it later and put it in a
basket, where much of it will have
to be handled over several times in
grading and packing and then finally
large quantities discarded as culls be-
cause the fruits are so small. More
over, the fruit on an overloaded tree
will sometimes ripen less uniformly
than on a tree that has moderate
crop.
AS the development of its pits is an
exhaustive process, the limiting of the
number of fruits tends to conserve the
vitality of the tree. A large portion
of the flesh of the peach is water;
hence, if the soil is well supplied with
moisture the development of the edible
portion of the fruit makes a relatively
light demand on the strength of the
tree.

sashes and cirdles Mode.

Sashes and wide girdles are an i'm
pOrtant accessory of many of the new
est gowns. In girdles, the wide crush
ed styles made of fabric or of ribbon
are favored, being twisted twice
around the waist and buttoned on eth
er side. Wide, draped girdles of hand
some brocaded ribbon are also employ
ed, especially across the front of a
gown. Checked and plaid taffeta are
very good for silk dresses for summer.
The light colors used in them make a
welcome relief from the rather somber
colors of our suits and street dresses
of cloth.

The growers aim is for the tree to
produce the largest possible amount Of
fruit that can attain the highest com.
mercial standard. The effort of the
tree and the object desired by the
grower tend to impose incompatible
requirements. The development Of o
great number of seeds is a tree-ex-
hausting process. This is opposed to
the development of large fruits. To
meet his ends in this respect, the grow
er has recourse to thinning the fruit.
Perhaps no operation in the pro-
ductiOn of peaches requires keener
judgment than thinning the fruit. No
fixed rules for it can be given. A COM
mon rule, very generally applicable, is
to thin so that the fruits will not be
nearer together than 4 to 6 inches.
But the strength of the tree, the fer
ti.ity of the soil, and especially the
soil moisture, together with the size
of the crop Tor, in other words, the
number of fruits allowed to develop on
the tree), govern very largely the size
and perfection of the individual fruits.
Obviously, vigorous tree growing
under favorable conditions as to mois-
ture, plantfood, etc., can develop a
larger number of fruits to good size
than can a weak tree, or even the
same tree when there is a marked de-
ficiency either in the supply of mois-
ture or Of plantfood.
The skill of the grower is shown in
his ability to adjust the size of the
crop on his trees to the conditions of
the season. He can reduce the num-
Der of fruits OF the trees if the season
becomes very dry as it progresses.
Thus the grower should aim to con-
troll the size of the individual fruits
by thinning and by tillage and pruning.
While thinning may cost relatively
large amount per tree, actually more
high-grade fruit is produced, as rule,
on a tree which bears only moderate
