which that power has been used
and we are proud of the inspired and

Pruning After Third Year.
By the time peach trees are three
or four years old they should be bear
ing good crops of fruit. After this
they will make a smaller annual
growth under usual conditions thah
during the earlier years and less
heading in will be required. In some
seasons it may not be necessary to
cut back the terminal growth, though
to do so will tend, as a rule, to de-
velop the smaller secondary and side
branches. Again, the extent of the
heading back will be governed in some
seasons by the abundance and con-
dition of the fruit buds. If there has
been winter injury, or if the buds
failed to form well the previous sea-
son little or no reduction of the pre-
vious seasons growth will be needed.
On the other hand, If the trees made
a strong growth, an abundant set of
fruit buds developed, and they have
suffered no injury, correspondingiy
heavy cutting back of the previous
seasons growth may be advisable in
order to thin the fruit as much as is
possible by that means.

PLAN FOR FASTENING

Dispose Of Scrub, Grade and H.
ferior Purebred Sires.
Department Of Agriculture Makes
Suggestions to Breeders for Bet
ter Quality In All Kinds Of
Live Stock and Products.

From an analysis of enrolment REQ
ords in the Better Sires-Better
Stock" campaign, the United States
department of agriculture presents
figures showing that the use of pure
bred sires appears to lead automakl-
cally to ownership Of well-bred female
stock also.
Summing up the factors which w1Q
hasten live stock improvement anA
bring many benefits, the department
makes the following requests Of 1.-Two
stock owners:
Use purebred sires Of good quality
In all classes of live stock. Dispose
of scrub. grade, and inferior purebre1
sires.
Keep breeding records, Many e1-
cellent animals of pure breeding have
in the past been forced to rank as
grades or scrubs owing to lack Of
records.
Join an active live stock association
and attend fairs, exhibitions, and
Judging contests where well-bred an
imals of good type are shown.
Read good agricultural literature.
including live stock and farm papers
The department of agriculture and the
various states will send helpful bull
letins on request.
Cooperate with your county agent
your agricultural college, and other
constructive forces in improving the
quality of live stock in your conf
munity.
Better live stock aids the breeder
both in direct returns and by giving
a locality favorable reputation. The
sum total of all Improvement. OF

standing of the United States with

would not be for league of nations

Knox and Senator Moses, whose ha-
tired of the president amounts to an
Dbsession, were also members. and
Senator Lodge was chairman.
"The treaty was referred to the
committee thus studiously prepared
for its hostile reception. These mem
bers of this committee adopted every
subterfuge to misrepresent the docu-
ment which they were supposed to be
considering as statesmen. The SEN
ate had even begun discussion of the
treaty months before it's negotiation
was concluded. and did not terminate
its debate until nine months after the
submission of the treaty"
