Pruning Practices Which Pay Peaches

Heading on yearling peach trees
lust set out, should be done just above
the location of good strong buds. On
two and three year old trees, only the
inside branches, crossing branches and
very low branches should be cut off,
and the tips headed back from a quart
er to a third. Very severe pruning
will delay fruiting a year or more, a
fact forcibly brought out by expert
mental work carried on by the New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton. The tips of very long twigs, two
feet or more in length, should be cut
back slightly to strengthen them.
On bearing peach trees the tops
should be open and vase-shaped to
facilitate spraying, and to let plenty OF
light and air in thus reducing trouble
with brown rot and scab. Severe
trimming out of the twigs is import
ant. 1t is not desirable to tip back
twigs, as it causes too much bushy
growth and consequently poor color,
On old peach trees which have
ceased to bear large crops through
age or neglect, regeneration IAN be
accomplished by cutting the top back
very heavily even going back into
three or four year old wood, or ever
by cutting the stubs five or six feet
from the trunk. This severe pruning
will force out a new low head, and will
revivify the tree, and will frequently
so stimulate it that it will bear sew
eral more heavy crops. Thorough
spraying cultivation, and fertilization
must accompany this regeneration il
best results are to be obtained.

Changing Britishers

American children go to school and
study about King George III, against
whose ~autocratic rule the thirteen col
onies revolted and won their indepen-
dence. AS our school histories give
no further information as to changing
and progressive British rules and laws
the children, small and grown up, have
learned little since what they learned
at school at the age of ID years:
George III died in 1920. The United
States has been at peace with Great
Britain for 105 years. /.
George V is now ruler of Great
Britain. When Parliament met Feb
ruary 18th, King George V made a
new departure. Kings have always
spoken of my subjects" For the first
time in history George said, "Our fell
low citizens" That is democratic.

Possibilities For Tomato Growers
In 1921

1t is now the season when every
farmer wants to know definitely what
he expects to do this year in the mat
ter of acreage of his various crops.
How many acres of tomatoes shall
| grow? For some the landlord will
answer this question. Others must
depend on themselves to decide.
1t is impossible to say what the
prospects are for any crop or for the
prices of any crop, except that they
will not be as high as they were in
1920. The tomato looks less promls-
ing thar any other. Potatoes, corn
and other farm products will be
mostly consumed by next fall, but the
tomatoes are still in tin cans in the
warehouses of the various factories.
At a joint conference of the repre-
sentatives of the South Jersey tomato
rover and Gamers, in Glassboro,
Saturday, February 18th, which was
arranged by the New Jersey Farmers
Federation, the Gamers all stated that
that they had the pack of 1920 on hand
and some of them had the 1919 pack,
in addition.
Furthermore, there seems to be no
prospects of immediate removal with
the market price of canned tomatoes
way below the cost of packing. If
the pack on hand were sold, thecan-
ners of South Jersey would stand to
lose thousands of dollars. Also at the
present price of tin cans, labels, and
boxes, to the Gamer, the prospects are
slim for the canning industry IN 1871.
Several Gamer made the statement
that at the present price of tin and
boxes, and the present price of canned
goods, they would have to have toma-
toes given them free, in order to break
even. They are, however, looking Tor
an improvement in the market for
canned goods and feel that they can
go on canning a limited supply OF
goods this year.
1t was brought to the attention OF
the that in the past some can
ners had given them a bonus when
thew felt they could afford to do so after
the season was over. They said IN
spite of the present demoralized con-
ditions they would this year put out
a price to the very limit of what they
believed they could afford. Several
2l0 J0GN 6ADcClto " III &
wear but that they would do SO on a
small scale, in order to keep in the
running. N
The growers representatives all
agreed that the prospects We're not
particularly bright for either the can
ner or the grower, and that there was
a closer feeling of cooperation be
tween the two than heretofore. It
was further agreed that it would not
be advisable to recommend measures
in cutting crop acreage, but rather a
conservative acreage at the best price
the Gamer could offer.
If any farmer cannot produce a crop
at this best possible price it is adv1s-
able for him to suspend tomato grow
ing this year.

sentatives were Mr.. Lucius F. Hires

City Rubes Want More Play

In his Farm Lecture at the \ on
Thursday of last week, c. G. Jordan
gave the farmers reasons against the
daylight saving law. 1t said that the
main reason was that the City Rubes
want to quit work earlier so they may
have more time to play. Pushing the
clock ahead an hour means that the
dairy man must rise an hour earlier
to get the milk ready for a train and
must milk the COWS in the middle OF
the afternoon.
Cows work on nature time ana not
on mans whim for pleasure.
The farmer boy is called a "Rube
when he gets into a city he does not
know the things and ways Of city lie.
Put the city boy on the farm n you
will learn that the country Boy
knows more about more things than
the city boy. a city boy went TO a
barnyard and asked: what IS that
thing on four legs ~ He was tod, a
cow What are those long things on
its head?" He was told, Horns
Soon the COW said: ~Mo-oo, mo-oo-
The city Rube said: "uncle, which
horn did she blow?"
There is a story about a Bosom gifl
as follows:
A Boston girl with bang and curl,
With silk and satin fine,
Went with her uncle for to see
Her cousin milk the kline.
And as hhe stirred among the herd
And shook her rustling silk,
She said: 30, uncle, where's the COW
That gives the buttermilkg"
Mr.. Jordan said farmers should take
much care in raising good blooded
stock, but much more important 1T is
to have pride in good blooded chill
dren. Every child has a right TO be
well born physically and mentally
Laws should prohibit diseased persons
from marrying. A virile, vigorous
human race is more essential than
blooded horses, cows, hogs or sheep.
They are grown mostly on the farms
