Appreciation Expressed

Expressions of gratefulness
seem only as empty words to
our hearts that have lately been
touched with a thousand kind
nesses; but, that the good people
of Hunnewell, Brookfeld, La
clede and elsewhere, in a small
way, may know the appreciation
felt for their kind words and
helpful hands during our pres
ent sorrow, the death of our son,
husband and brother, the Nap
piles and Bannings do here ex-
tend thanks to all those offering
word or deed to make more
bearable these hours of trial.
Too, the constant attendance
and tributes of respect offered
by the Legion have gone deep
into our souls, the most beauti-
full of memorials are of those,
his comrades, who so gently laid
him away.

THINNING IMPORTANT.
Produces Larger Apples and Causes
Trees To Bear Annually.
BY Charles Sughroe
g Western Nsvpspes Union

Thinning not only makes large
and more marketable apples, but
helps make more equal crop from
year to year. \ striking example of
the influence Of thinning, upon the
bearing of tree, says f. G. Wood,
extension horticulture specialist Of
the State College is shown in the or
chard of John r. Peters of sunny
slope in the Wenatchee valley
Last year during thinning time the
men working for Mr.. Peters thnncl
sixteen year old Jonathan tree
lightly, leaving on twice as many ap-
pies as should have been left. Be
fore they had commenced work OF
any Of the other trees, they were di-
Iected to thin more severely, but the
Jonathan was left. At harvest time
TIC difference was noted and all the
other trees had good sized apples.
while the jonathan was overloaded.
poorly colored and small.
This year the difference is even
more striking, for the other trees
have good yields, while the tree
which was not thinned sufficiently
last year has less than three boxes. Il
i; very important that trees be thin
ned this year, says Mr. Wood, for the
dealers have agreed to accept no ap-
pies smaller than standard minimum
sizes. However, if this were not so.
the effect upon next wears crop e
well worth considering.
