The bIrd-lovers OF Brandon, Man..

their f~orethought by arranging with
the authorities to have the fair

~ not sIone-of what should be done
BY every community that can offer the
birds anything Of the sort. This Ia
not only one more argument for the
general policy of setting aside park

Chase Sour Cherry Most
Satisfactory at Geneva

The Chase sol cherry, believed to
have originated near Riga, Monroe
county, New York, has proved 30 sat
isfactory on the grounds of the ex-
pertinent station at Geneva that the
station fruit specialists are recon-
mending that II be planted in place OF
English Morello, the standard late O
cherry for North America. The Chase
Ia described as being Of the same type
of cherry as the Morello. but with
fewer faults.
"The trees of the Chase are larger,
healthier. more spreading. and the
branches do not droop as do those OF
Morello,' says the station ~horticultur-
list. THE leaves are larger and the
fruit better distributed. The cherries
are larger, possess the same dark color
and shape Of the Morello, except with
a deeper cavity, and ripen a little
earlier, but are much milder In flavor
and therefore pleasanter to eat out of
hand than the sour. a%stringent Morel-
The Chase Is an improved Morel-
10 and should be planted In place of
that well-known variety"

Ths Old Gardener says.

Fruit trees IN the home garden are
worth more attention than they ever
before. because the country's
supply of fruit Is not keeping pace
with the demand. II Is advisable to
keep careful watch OF newly set trees
and to rub OF any buds which start at
q point where branches obviously will
not be wanted. This thumb pruning
as It IL called. can be kept up adj
vanfageousIy for several years. and
no other cutting will be needed unless
branches have developed which cross
each other or which have been broken.
