ECONOMY IN THE ORCHARD.
(By +. J. Watson).

Fruit growers at this season of the
year are planning their work to save
labor and cut down expenses. But of
course the main objective is a good
return for the crop. Naturally if
takes good crop to bring good
return and the principal operations
necessary to secure a good crop are
proper pruning, spraying and fertiliz-
ing, no one of which can be neglected
if quality fruit is obtained
Pruning is much a question of
Judgment, and appearance is not the
most important consideration.
would say (D prune to get a crop,
(2) Train the tree so it will support
its burden of fruit without props, (3)
Prune for high grade apples.
Pruning one year and letting it go
the next is like feeding a pig one day
and starving it the next. Much can
be learned by attending pruning dem
onstrations and reading articles
which appear in print in good papers,
but much knowledge and Judgment
must be acquired by experience. The
grower should either understand
pruning himself or secure the services
Of an experienced person and turn
the matter over to him. The exercise
Of good judgment in pruning means
greater results at less cost
Spraying is essential not only from
the standpoint of paying the grower
on his own crop, but the grower who
is careless and lets pests infest hi,
orchard is endangering the orchard of
the more thrifty. Grading rules arc
kept strict on these matters for such
damaging pests should not be allow
ed to spread and each grower should
bear his share in keeping the country
free therefrom.

Dear Mr.. Wunder:
Perhaps you noticed the piece ir

sponsibie for any writeup unless

would indicate that we cant take de-
feat without a dispute, which we be-
lieve we can.
We would rather have played the
championship game on neutral floor
but we agreed to play it on yours and
we have no kick coming.
You boys treated us fair and es-
pecially so when you made good our
loss of personal belongings.
The only thing that disappointed Us
was the substitution of Lichtenberger
for Scece as referee without our
knowledge. Perhaps you did not know
it, but he was our greatest rival N

years ago.
However, we are willing to let it

The Sunday morning services
were well attended.
Owing to the inclement weather
there were only nine at Junior
League. We are especially proud
OF these youngsters. No older
person being present Helen Nun
nelly took charge of the lesson
and in telling the assistant super
intendent of her experience said
that she tried to do just like they
did when the superintendent was
there.
There was no Epworth League
meeting and the Easter program
has been postponed until Sunday

What LAP Iowa Farmers
Say About Consolida-
ted Schools.

Consolidated schools may be the
dawn Of the millennium for the
rural school system, but the say
so of persons who have had little
acquaint ance with country life and
its school problems is not convinc-
ing. Such opinions are more like
an affront to the intelligence of
farmers, who wish to see the thing
in practice or hear the opinion of
farmers who are supporting con-
solidated schools.
E. B. Hodges, county school SUI
perrin tendent of Butler county,
Iowa, has the key to unlock the
kind of information farmers wish
when they think of bettering their
schools. This key fits to his desk
where letters from l ,412 Iowa far
mers who have tried consolidation
are on file. Iowa farmers, it will
be granted should know something
about the subject, for Iowa has
been captioned Headliner in Con-
solidation" and 10000 of her chill
dren now attend consolidated
schools.
Mr.. Hodges selected out of the
400 centralized schools of Iowa the
Sc which has been in operation the
longest, believing that the most re-
liable source of Information would
be persons who had tried a centra-
lized school several years. He
sent to the superintendent of
these Sc schools printed post cards
with the request that they supply
every school patron with one. The
cards asked for the results of con-
solidation and they read:
This card is 4 ,amped and ad-
dressed for the information of 9TH
ers who are considering consoli-
dalton. Will you please take a
pencil and fill in the answers to
the following questions at once and
return to the mail box?Thank you.
How far do your children
ride in the school bus?
2-How long are they usually
on the road to school?

Well, there you have it-what
farmers who have tried CONSOLE
dation think Of it.
A glance at the consolidation
map of the country shows what
happens when farmers observe
this new kind Of a school in oper-
alton. The map is not dotted
here and there with isolated dots
but spotted with groups of them.
In the same state are counties
with half or more of the townships
consolidated, ana counties with
out a single centralized school.
1t works out like motorization of
farms. Let one farm in a neigh
borhood introduce motor equip
ment and others are sure to follow.
One consolidated school in any
region is almost certain to start
a trail Of others. Seeing is be-
lieving. -Capper's Farmer.

S-Do they suffer from cold2
From any other cause.
4-Are your children required
to wait out in the snow and storm
for the bust
5-Are the children absent from
school as much as under the one
room rural school system7 Are
they tardy as much?
6--How has consolidation af-
fected land values in your CONSOLE
dated school district?
fare the increased school adj
vantages worth the increased cost?
S--Would you change back to
the old way?
Ten to 70 patrons Of every dis
trict responded and the signed
answers from lap farmers show
that SO per cent Of the farmers
answered "No" to the eighth
question, Would you change
back to the old .way?" OF these,
the highest percentage was shown
to be where consolidation had
been in existence longest, indica-
ting that the longer people try it
the better they like it.
Eighty-fve per cent of the school
patrons whose children ride 5 to 6
miles each way every day, said
they would not go back to the old
way. To the question, care your
children required to wait out in
snow for bus?" 1885 answered,
"No," as against Sc who answered,
Eyes," In reply to the question,
care they absent as much as
under the old way2" 1,160 said,
mo-" and 172, Eyes " To the
question on hardness the proper
ton stood 1,187 for the Noes"
and 100 for the yeas" Eighty
seven per cent of those answering
declared increased advantages
were worth increased cost. A
good many lett a blank after the
question, "How has consolidation
affected land values?" But of the
905 who answered, $40 said it had
raised values.
The Shell Rock Consolidated
School District was organized in
1915, 16 sections of land being in
cluded. The answers from this
school are characteristic of the
ALP replies received from the
Sc schools.
In the Shell Rock district, 81
of % farmers in a community,
where consolidation has been in
force several years, say the in
creased advantages are worth the
increased cost and declare that
they would not go back to the cd
1-room school. If nine-tenths of
1412 farmer patrons of Sc CONSOLE
dated schools in a state that has
been trying out consolidation on
a big scale say they would not
under any circumstances exchange
the new type of rural school for
the old, ii nine-tenths' OF them

INTERNAL ORGANS MISPLACED
Hospital Patient in Vermont Has
Heart, Liver and Stomach on
Wrong Side.

Rutland, Vt-William Bowen of
West Charleston, Vt, twenty-six, a
patient at the Vermont sanitarium
in Pittsford, is curiosity to the med
ical world
All his internal organs are on the
wrong side. He has tuberculosis, but
this has nothing to do with the mis-
placed organs.
The transposition was discovered
when an x-ray picture was taken by
DR.. Clarence T. Ball here to determine
the condition of the lungs. 1t had been
known that Bowen's heart was not in
the customary place, but the x-ray
showed the stomach on the opposite
side, the liver on the left instead of
the right and the vermiform appendix
on the left.
Bowen is expected to recover from
tuberculosis.
