SIMPLE RULES FOR PRUNING
Absence of Deadwood Will Greatly
p {. Enhance Value of Orchard to !
+ {. Prospective Buyer. :

In pruning, the following simple
practices are observed by leading
farmers. In cutting out branches
which shade the rest Of the tree they
cut those from which 1t Is difficult or
impossible to harvest the fruit easily
with a ladder. They cut out all the
dead wood. It will drop off eventual
", but the absence Of dead wood Is
one Of the signs Of we'll kept or
chard and will greatly enhance the
value Of the orchard to prospective
buyer. :,
They also cut off all the suckers on
the trunk and main branches unless
they wish to start new branches near
er the ground: For some time the
suckers will only be consumers Of the
tree food and will be nonpr0ducers.
The first principle Of large produc-
ton Of first-class fruit Is large bear
ing surface, exposed to the sun as
much as possible. Many believe they
can more easily prune to get sun
while the leaves are still on the trees.

There is a large amount % real

belief OF local men that next sprins

Typical OF the opening up Of new
additions is the plating OF wild

recently been opened. The tract
contains los acres, and was pur-

NEW STRAUS HOME
COSTS 4 MILLIONS
Indicates Also That Building
Conditions Becoming
Normal.

The announcement, made IN
New York this week that wor.-
has started on the monumental new
building 20 be erected by s. W
Straus & Co. at Fifth Avenue and
Forty Street is Of much i'm
portance 20 the building industry.
s. W. Straus & Co., by reason Of
their large underwriting of first
mortgage serial bond ISSUES on new
industrial plants apartment houses.
Office buildings and other large
structures in the principal Ameri-
can cities are very closely in touch
with building conditions and the
general outlook I'm the industry
Their first mortgage loans on build
ings Of this character run into many
millions Of dollars monthly. II NAV
be taken as encouraging signifl-
cant. therefore, that they are going
ahead with the new $4,000. 600 home
for their New York organization at
the present time rather than delay
until a later date
There has been much hesitation
on the part OF many interests re-
garding new building projects. but
10 - quite evident that IN the opin-
ion Of s. W. Straus & Co., nothlne
is 20 be gained IN putting of build
ing plans With regard TO this point.
5. ". Straus q Co. have made
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1920-10-17

plain their attitude in the follow
ing statement:
The demand for new buildings
both for residential and business
purposes continues 90 grow Rents
are continually advancing and it
Is not likely that they viii become
stabilized soon This IS particularly
true in New York City where the
housing shortage - becoming more
acute. Conditions In the labor mar
ket. transportation delays and short
a &c Of building materials have COM
uined 20 keep down new construc-
ton work. The demand, however.
for space continues 20 be augment
cd with the expansion Of business
the increase in population and the
generally manifested desire Of the
public for better standards Of liv
ing
The widespread shortage Of
buildings Ga this country is a hind
rance o. general business develop
ment and a distributing factor in
our social and economic life Every
possible effort should be made.
therefore. 70 relieve the very acute
situation that exists The only way
this can be accomplished and con-
additional building.
Nothing in our national life to-
day is more uEgent than the need
for more buildings throughout .he
country.
While the demand FOR homes is
more acute than for structures Of
other types there Is requirement for
buildings OF every description. and
each new project that becomes an
active operation helps the general
situation II must be borne in mind
that the longer new work is delayed
the more serious the housing stu
alton becomes. We have fallen so
far behind normal requirements
that a prolonged period Of inten-
sive buildings must necessarily en-
sue before the various aspects OF the
housing situation become entirely
stabilized
