PRUNING
AIDS YOUNG TREES
But Too Much Cutting Reduces Pro-
duction--Intelligent Attention
Beats Careless Carving.

Burlington, April IA little thin
ming and minor cutting hack to form
desirable framework and prevent bad
crotches in young apple trees prolongs
life and makes for better trees, say
the fruit men at the University Of
Vermont and state college of agricul-
ture al Burlington The removal Of a
little wood win not materially reduce
the size of the tree or delay its bear
ing. On the other hand, experiments
show that severe pruning Of young
trees delays bearing and reduces pro-
dnction.
The tree is permitted largely to
shape itself. Three or four, or some.
times only two, branches are left when
the tree II planted; more than this Is
likely To result III crowding and split

emitting on the lower branches to SO
cure a high headed tree.
Az the tree grows older, branches
that appear well apart on the main
branches are retained and pruning il
largely restricted to the removal OF
badly interfering or crowding branches.
All but one Of the shoots of bad
crotches are headed in so they win be-
come secondary branches.

tanning farce in two acts given by the
ladies 81 the Unisersalist church last
evening. The entire farce had to do
with the workings Of ladies aid in
the church. Each member who filed
onto the stage had an opportunity Of
suggesting some idea BY which the
church might raise a $50 debt which
it owed. Among the things suggested
and over which some of the members
managed to become very much iik
censed at the Others for their argn-
ments, was a turkey supper, cake
sale and rnmmagc sale.
After a great deal of discussion the
president Of the society Mrs. III A..
McNeill spoke up and said that such
things were out Of question. Finally
Mrs Jenkins, portrayed by Mrs. Per
ley Carr, had a happy thought and
suggested that they have sale on use
less and foolish Christmas gifts. This
was accepted and the meeting broke
up al once in order that the members
might get the material ready for the
sale With this the Aurtain fwens

kins were busy at table marking
useless gifts sent in. Mrs. Jenkins dis
covered that someone had sent in a
gift which she gave her. so she mrs.
Jenkins went home after one which
the cat gave her. In the meanwhile
the other persons fled in. Mo. Grant
Lane and Mrs. Tassie had some heavy
arguments over the Kind of people vino
put their valuable gifts into rum

Mrs Gail Bennett, suggested new COM
plexiiics for she brought something
which everybody present had given
her, knowing that they would do the
same. Mrs. r. Cutler also brought a
large collection, among which there |
were several from those present in !
conclusion everyone got real angry and |
went homo crying. The president with |
the aid Of Mrs. jenkins threw every
thing into barrel and called the jan /
itor. Fayette Cutler. to take il away. /
They too went home in huff.
