EARLY PRUNING

ground is dry enough to work will

A second and equally important con.
sideration is the oil spray. Most of
the unsatisfactory results obtained
with the oil during the last two or
three years have been due to un.
favorable weather conditions. Good
weather for spraying is likely to be
as scarce this spring and 1t behooves
every grower who intends to use the
oil to have his pruning out Of the
way when the first clear, calm days OF
spring come.
Watch for Weak Trees.
The physical condition of the trees
in many orchards is below normal
The hard winter of two years ago left
the trees in weakened condition and
some have not yet entirely recovered
Such trees should be pruned so as tc
encourage vigorous wood growth and
not fruit production until they regain
their natural vigor.
Opinion differs among growers in
the state as to the best means OF
stimulating these weak trees. It has
long been thought that severe head
ing back produced vigorous wood and
re1uvenated the tree. However, we
believe now that severe pruning OF
our bearing trees for two or more
years has weakened them rather than
made them more vigorous. Orchards
that have been moderately pruned In
the past are in better condition now
than those. that have been cut back
consistently. II a tree Is already in O

mittedly is what attitude is to be
taken toward the League of Ma
tions. Whether he discussed this
matter with Mr.. Wilson is NOT
known. He declined to discuss the
league or its affairs with reporters.
When he came to Washington,
1t was generally runored in Dem
ocratic quarters that Mr.. McAdoo
would make an effort to persuade
Mr.. Wilson not to insist upon b
league plank in the Democratic
platform in 1924.
What Roadway, IL any was made
in this direction r. not known. II
was observed today, however, that
in the two speeches he has deliver
ed in the last forty Eight hours, the
ex-President did not mention The
league by name. nor refer to 1t d.
rectly.

Mr.. Wilson confined himself to
expressing his contempt Of Repub.
lican foreign policy, describing isola-
ton as shameful and cowardly, -
and irreconcilabilies" as fools re.
sisting Providence"
The Democrats connected with the
McAdoo movement do not want a
plank in the 1924 platform pledging
American entrance into the league.
What they do want is q bristling
attack on the Republican policy of
"aloofness" from Europe, a para
graph "deploring Americas failure
to enter the league four years ago
on the ground that such entrance
would have prevnted most of Eu-
ropes present chaos and turmoil,
and a general pledge Of closer
American cooperation in world af-
fairs.
Mr.. Wilson's two speeches. 1t was
pointed out today, contained nothing
antagonistic to such a declaration.
