There IS general impression that
the method Of producing dwarf trees
is a secret that the japanese have
never diyulged; but the course to be
pursued is really simple. The whole
system OF culture may be summed up
as the reverse OF hature's method. II
really consists. not In the survival Of
the fttest, but .father In the survival
Of the unfiftest. A poor. weak seed is
usually chosen and planted. Az soon
as it has attained some growth the
leading shoot is trimmed off. The lit
tie plant then grows two other shoots,
and these are carefully watched. When
one shoot exhibits strength and VI
tally greater than Its fellow 1t Is at
once cut of and tie weaker shoot Is
untouched In order to form the future
dwarf trees main stem or trunk. This
system Of trimming and cutting IS fol-
lowed Dnnctllfously. Water is seldom
used-only In very small quantities 10
keep the little plant actually alive.
The tree Is kept In pot too small for
Its full development, and the roots are
constantly pruned. The shoots are
trained and bent to follow
the growth Of a large tree. All this
requires great patience. but the jap
anese never tire watching the growth |
OF the tree from day to day, week |
TO week and month to month. When |
the tree has been growing for about |
I'VE years, II can then be practically
eft to take care OF Itself. It has be-
come accustomed TO its training, end /
rs surroundings, and. Ike force of
habit follows the course laid out for
T. In this manner some very mag !
lihcent specimens Of dwarf trees are
Produced which in their miniature
beauty and majesty compare favorably
With their big brothers In the unframed
orests.

TOBACCO FAIR. BOOTHS
ARE Being ARRANGED
Committee VIII Soon Sell Booth
Space at Big Fair = Booths Are
Laid on BY Officials Today.

Secretary George Kirk and other
members of the managing committee
OF the 1920 Corn and Tobacco Fair to-
day visited the Liberty Tobacco ware
house where the fair will be held and
made arrangements for the laying off
OF the space for booths which will be
leased to the merchants of Maysville
for advertising purposes.
The booths will be of practically the
same size as in previous years and
will likely be disposed of in the same
manner as previously. Already there
are many applications for booth space
ON file with the committee who within
the next few days will sell this space.
After all available booth room has
been sold there will likely be a draw
ing for position
1t Is understood that many outside
concerns manufacturing nationally
advertised tobacco products have al
ready made application for booth
space at this years fair and il is
thought that there will be little trou-
BILE in disposing of the entire space at
good profit to the fair.
