has signed up for the Fruit club work.
Following are some valuable instruc-
tons for Fruit Club members
General Instructions.
Winter is an important season fGr
Fruit Club Members Orchards which
are not pruned or sprayed cannot he
expected TO produce good fruit. Thes,
two important orchard operations
should not be neglected.
Pruning.
Many club members are starting
their work, using bearing trees. in the
home orchard. These trees may tc
poorly shaped and not very good look
| ing, but no club member should be
discouraged by this condition. The bes'
trees should be selected and pruning
| begun.
The first thing to do is to clean out
the tree by removing all dead and
damaged limbs, all those limbs that
rub where they cross another, and al
stubs.
Further instructions for pruning arc
taken up separately for each kind u
| fruit.
The Apple
| Unpruned apple trees are frequently
overgrown with branches A dens,
growth is undesirable 1t is sometime
necessary to cut out several centra
| branches in order TO open the tor
and let in sunlight An long slenle,
branches water sprouts along thc
trunk and the bases of large limb,
should be removed. DO not remove the
short stubby little branches or spur;
these bear fruit.
BY the time the dead, diseased auC
! damaged branches are removed thu
tree should look much better. An oc
casional lars limb may need remoyal
/ This is especially true when twc
limbs cross, or are crowding each
other.
| Pruning should not be Overdone, how
ever. If a great deal of pruning is ne
ccssary, it should be done gradually
Too much pruning the first year re
duces the fruit yield.
The Strawberry
During the winter the strawberry
bed should be kept under mulch
This mulch should be removed from
the plants at the beginning of the
growing season. The mulch may
be left between the rows 1t keeps
down weeds, conserves moisture
makes harvesting easier, and keeps
the berries clean. After the pick
ing season, the mulch may be re
moved and the vines cultivated. Those
especially interested in strawberries
| should write for special bulletin.

Why lie Left the Farm

An eastern farm paper prints a
long series OF verses purporting to
be the explanation Of a farmers son
of why he left the farm and went to
the city. The gist Of his argument
is found in the following:
left my dad, his farm. his plow,
Because my calf became his COW;
left my dad-'twas wrong, Of
course
Because my colt becnme his horse;
l left my dad TO SOW and reap,
Because my lamb became his sheep:
dropped my hoe and stuck my
fork
Because my pig became his pork.
The garden truck that | made grow
Was his to sell, and mine to hoe.

NEW WORKERS HONOR POET
Cottage Where Edgar Allan Poe Lived
and Dreamed Has Been Preserved
for Posterity.

Edgar Allan Poe is Americas best
beloved writer abroad, according to
Vicente Blasco Ibanez, the famous
Spanish novelist. The authors great
est afternoon in America was the one
set aside for quiet visit to the humble
and tragic home of the author of THE
Raven" and 1.-The Cask of AmOntilia-
do
POe's cottage is q quaint little one
story frame house, painted white, on
the Grand COncourse on the upper
fringe of the city. The ground around
it has been dedicated andsis known as
Poe park. The building is just the
same as it was when Poe lived there
in company with his fantastic satans
and ethereal sweethearts.
A party of five went with IbaneZ. 1t
was just dark when they arrived at the
Poe home. The air was chilly and dank,
as Poe would have said. Six or seven
candles spluttered feebly against the
walls and threw fantastic shadows into
the small bedroom where, SO history
spent so many nights of anguish and
unearthly vision.
1t is strange but there are very few
New Workers who know where Poe
lived and they have never seen the park
or the little tragic cottage. The only
indication that it was the home of the
genius of the odd is the little black
raven painted in the front.
There is a little porch, much like a
modern dollhouse porch. At night Poe
used to sit out there alone with the
stars. smoking and dreaming. Then he
was in the wilderness, for New York
was many miles away. Off to his right
was the Hudson and the Jersey coast.
Around about him were all sorts of
night cries. He loved the mysterious
walls, the ghostly shadows that creep
about at night. Many ambitious
writer's go there at night now to drink
in the mental pictures that came to
Poe-but instead are bowls of the
Bronx Riddles, the honk of the auto,
the grind of car wheels and all the COM
plex noises of a congested center

town in the near future.
So John Cutstone was in town in
the near future. In fact, he took the
first train out of Glen Cove after he
had motored down to the village post
office and got his letter from Evelyn
Monroe, editor of the Boast"
1t was, as always happens in the
best of fiction, a case of almost in

mark.
Il wilt paint it next spring." John
promised, II was too busy. gardening
and writing all these stories that have
been bringing me in big checks to do
any dolling up around the place" Had
his eyes been anywhere but fixed
steadily on her face John would have
turned in surprise TO ask: And how
do you know anything about my
shack?"
Il happen to have been the poor
city worker who purchased the APP
pies and left my best handkerchief

hundred times beside my fire as to
the identity of that quaint wanderer.
but never for moment expected"
A wonderful blush springing into the
editors cheeks reminded Cutstone
just in time that he had only three
minutes before met Evelyn Monroe,
and that even in the best of fiction the
hero isn't quite likely to propose on
so short an acquaintance. "SO-fam
Gus a person." he tactfuly finished
and watched the blush recede unwill-
ingly.
You are to be the famous One,"
Evelyn said with sweety serious eyes
fixed on the author; your touch is
very, very charming. A rich and
broad experience in life as you so
along year by year should produce in
you the power to become a writer Of
the highest order"
1t was Cutstone now who flushed,
but his eyes did not waver from the
vision that was before them-a vision
rich and broad and so wonderful as
TO make the editorial Office seem

blue skies.
