Tree Holds Fire for Months

A dead grand fir tree, four feet IT
diameter was ignited June q, 1918,
during forest fire, and burned contin-
uously until November 8 although
heavy rains visited the region in Sep
tember and October, according to For.
est Ranger John Kirkpatrick. The
tree stood near the mouth of the north
fork Cispus river, on the Rainier
National Forest. When last seen by
the ranger the tree was still burning
and had been reduced to a stub less
than forty feet high.
Ranger Kirkpatrick says that fires
of this sort persist on account of the
cilnkers which form and lie in the
center or lowest part of the burning
surface. The clinkers resemble those
in the bottom of blacksmith's 8 forge
and are like red-hot bricks. A tre.
mendous amount of rainfall is neces.
sary to cool them off.
The clnkers are very hard and pre-
sent a glazed surface. They resemble
lava rock in form, being perforated
and honeycombed to some extent
They burn the tongue slightly wher

nights bath was hauled in a barrel. in

Mr.. Scott hauled enough water Sat
urday to provide baths for his wife and
children. and other East Siders, who
had difficulty in getting enough water

from the city for the regular Saturday
night baths, which were temporarily
passed over the Saturday before.
The cold weather dried up scores of
springs from which East Side residents
get their water.

TELLS HOW TO PRuNE
SWEET CHERRY TREES
(Gorden G. BroVn)

During the last few years only. has
much light been shed upon the subject
of pruning the sweet cherry. The pop
ular impression has been and in many
places continues TO be that pruning !
either unnecessary OF harmful This IS
especially true Of the home orchard.
The result has been that trees have be-
Come tall and unmanageable.
All up-tO date cherry growers now
recognize that annual pruning is desir-
able not only from the standpoint of
tree structure but also of fruit spur
development.
The close observer will note that the
cherry bears its fruit from auxiliary
buds either upon fruit spurs or upon
the base of the one year old wood. In
the former case the central bud in the
cluster permits the spur TO make fur
ther growth while otner auxiliary and
terminal buds found upon longer one
year old shoots perform this function
study OF the growth made will in
dicate whether pruning has been cor
rect or not. In most trees left un-
pruned We find very high percentage
of such auxiliary buds fail to make
spurs Many produce only two weak
buds instead of a cluster of vigorous
ones. This is result of growth being
diverted INTO too many channels. The
grower thus loses in two ways: Fruit
spurs are weak and unproductive and
little new growth is formed on which
new spurs are to form. Try to secure
strnog terminal growth each year.
The writer recommends that pruning
be largely into one year old wood only.
OF course If the tree has been neglect
ed for number of years some correct
i've pruning will be necessary. As
rule little thinning out will be neees-
sary. The aim in cutting into one year
old wood should be to remove some,
but not all, of the auxiliary leaf buds.
by so doing spur formation will be
hastened and new growth secured. On
the other hand if all such buds are re-
moved, an opportunity Is not afforded
the tree to make new branch growth.
Try To distribute the cutting over the
major portion of the tree. In this way
the response Is more nearly uniform
ard free from undesirable extremes.
No other practice will contribute so
satisfactorily to large bearing sur
face so necessary in securing large
tonnage.
