Winter Best Season.
The best time for carrying on the
operation Of poisoning is when the
tree Is dormant. or during the winter
months. This will most surely pre-
vent suckering. although trees can
be killed practically any time Of the
year.
In applying the poison. the tree Is
first girdled by series of heavy down
ward strokes of the Ak through the
bark and well into the wood. leaving
the chips protruding outward in a
"frill" extending completely around
the tree. II Is necessary that this
thrilling" process be thoroughly done,
which alone would ordinarily Kill the
tree after some time. A half pint
large trees of the poison is then poured
into the Clipped surface. taking care
to saturate the wood thoroughly. An
old teapot or kettle with n spout
serves well the purpose of pouring
without needless waste or spilling
down the trees. Saplings may be cut
or low down and the poison applied
over the stump by swab stick. If
this Is done when the sap is down
the tree will be completely killed and
suckerlng prevented.

The old N. P. Temple stands tall and

The second picture shows the Wat

and the Presbyterian church building
a long eight window affair resembling
country school. The pOstoffice site
at that time contained nothing Blu,
empty space. The old court house
was by far the biggest building next
to the M. p church. The two pic

and many an old man in years but moi
in heart and mind, stops to pick out
the familiar spots which to him brings
