society was very active last year in
checking cruelty to animals, but the

phasized is seeing that horses are not
compelled to negotiate icy streets
with smooth shoes.

regime to again employ Sergeant Nc

had to be dropped some time ago be-
cause of lack of funds. 1t will be his
job to respond to every complaint

|Small Fruit Cultivation to Be
Theme of Discussion at
Convention

Chances for Pennsylvania devel-
oping its commercial plum and
cherry orchards on the scale that
its apple and peach orchards have
been expanded and the possibilities
of fruit raising in this State will be
themes for discussion at the an
nual convention of the State Hor-
ticultural Society to be held here
January %, % and "a. This So
ciety is one of the oldest in the
country and in addition to the fruit
business it has been giving atten-
ton to the development of vege-
table growing.
The effect of the war on vege-
table raising, war gardens, the use
of tractors for vegetable growing,
gift packages, pests, storage houses
and pit and trench storage and the
question whether war garden ac-
tivities will drop off perceptibly dur
ing 1919" will be among TIL. sub
jects to be discussed. Another prob
lem win be whether orchardists who
have turned to tractors during the
war and the labor shortage will go
back to horses or continue to en-
ploy machines.
In addition to the question of the
future of commercial plum and
cherry orchards in the State the
opportunities for commercial berry
and nut growing on land of the
State not now producing, but adapt
ed for such forms of horticulture
will be taken up on Friday after
noon.
The apple and peach orchards of
the State which now number trees
in the millions will be greatly in
creased in the next two years by
trees which will begin bearing. In
the Susquehanna valley alone the
trees that will begin TO bear are
numbered by the tens of thousands

commercial orchards near Philadel- =
