Young Fruit Trees Need
Most Careful Attention

Whether few fruit trees or many Of
them are set this spring the planter
should be vigilant to see that they get
good start. 1t is not necessary to
look at young trees every day, but to
wait until fall or even next spring is
to neglect an opportunity to save
many one from injury. At an early
time they should be examined fire.
quently to see that pests are not de-
stroying the foliage. New leaves are
being put out and they should be
kept covered with sprays If injury is
being done. If one-year-old trees have
been planted many more buds will be
putting out shoots than is desired.
These should be carefully removed so
that the energy Of the tree is directed
into the four and Eve scaffold
branches that are to remain perma-
nently. The base of the tree in par
ticular should be kept free of new
shoots or sprouts.

IMPORTANT FACTORS
WITH RASPBERRIES

In planting berry patch make
every possible provision for a perfect
stand Bad stands are a serious fac
tor in berry growing because when
plants are widely separated and ir-
regular in growth, it requires more la
Dor to keep the plants clean and the
crop will not pay for the labor. The
causes that contribute toward poor
stand usually produce slow growth
and 1t takes SO much longer to get a
full crop that the patch Is usually
abandoned
The two big factors in poor stands
are late planting and cellar-stored
plants. Successful raspberry growing
means that plants must be established
before warm weather. To attain this
end the ground should be plowed as
late as possible to escape early rains
that pack the soil. :. If the soil does not
work up well 1t should be plowed in
the spring and well worked before
planting. Plants should be on hand
as soon as the ground is dry enough
7 to plant No matter how good the
grower nor where grown, there Is al
ways chance that plants will carry
some kind Of pest, so it is advisable
to dip the stems in lime sulphur solu-
ton while dormant. The solution
should be one part lime sulphur, nine
parts water; and after dipping should
be allowed to drain with the roots
up, canes down SO the solution will
not drain down on the roots. Burrows
four inches deep and six or seven
feet apart make planting easier than
digging with hoe or shovel. If
patches are on a north slope the rows
should run at right angles to the
slope to prevent washing.
Many people have an idea that the
ground can never be too wet to set
plants. If land is very sandy that
may be true, but If the soil Is heavy
the ground is likely to get SO hard that
the new shoots cannot break through
the crust. II you take soil in your
hand and squeeze 1t and it forms a
ball-like dough 1t is altogether too wet
to plant. To pack wet soil makes 1t
into hard clod with most Of the air
excluded with the result that "nitrifi-
cation" will be slow and the plant fail
to grow. II 1t is necessary to plant
in wet soil that packs, put very little
dirt on the roots of the plant and hoe
as soon as the ground Is dry enough
SO that the roots Of the plant will be
provided with fine SOIL

Excessive Wood Growth
Checks Vigor of Grapes

= In a consideration of grape pruning
it is well to remember that fruit is
borne in few clusters near the base
of the current seasons growth; that
these fruit-bearing shoots arise largely
from wood of last seasons growth;
that excessive amounts Of wood check
the vigor Of the vine; that only GER
tain amount of good fruit can be pro-
duced in season from single vine.
These points will make it very evil
dent that fruit-bearing wood must be
renewed every year from the desirable
one year-old canes, and that all canes
over a year old not necessary to sup
port one-year-old growth, or form a
framework, should be removed. Also,
a large proportion of new wood must
be removed by thinning out.

Splitting Bark on Fruit
Trees in Cold Weather

Bark will sometimes split on fruit
trees following cold weather in late
winter and early spring. Where there
is just a tree or two, wrap the tree
with moist burlap, but where there are
a large number of trees, showing con-
siderable bark cracking. it is well to
tack the bark to the body of the tree
with large-headed tacks, such as bill
board tacks. This will keep the bark
from rolling back and drying.

Rines Hill with the bad turn and

something of the name of a police

Because of the real darger which
would result if traffic we're allowed to
run with only the judgment of the
operators governing their speed, the
Augusta police officers have been in
structed to enforce the aw even more
vigorously than last year. The motor
vehicle law making it a misdemeanor
to pass a moving vehicle on a hill
when the vision ahead is obscured has
application in this instance, and it is
violations and technical infringements
Of this law which has tripped many
operators since the motoring season
got under way in full force this
Spring.

on this hill, at municipal court Will

WAR VETS PROVE
WORTHY HOSTS AT
B. P. 0. E. SUPPER

Although the ex-gervtce members
Of Augusta lodge, B. p. o. Elks,
were the hosts at the supper session
preceding the regular meeting Of
the lodge, Thursday evening. they
did not feed their brother members

siderate of the appetites and stom-
that. The World War veterans did
however. serve their Aumptuous re-
past with all the dispatch and pre-
cision which characterizes the mess
hour" In a military camp.
The menu for the supper last
night was one OF the very best of
the long series which have proved
so enjoyable this past. winter and
spring. The war vets from real
experience knew just what was nee
essary to satisfy the inner man, and
they proceeded to bring on the good
things In large quantities with sec
onds'' for the real gastronfnic
champions of the lodge. Lobster
stew with crackers and sweet cher
kins served to whet the appetites for
the good things to follow. Next,
"Chef" Cyr's hustling corps Of kit
chen police" brought in the great
plates of hot roast beef, mashed po-
tato and gravy. and stringed beans.
Coffee and prune pudding. (The
prunes at least were familiar to all
former service men, topped on
! the splendid supper.
Exalted Ruler Earle r. Hayes pre-
sided at the informal half hour pro-
gram which is the enjoyable feature
at the supper sessions when the
chairs have been pushed back from
the table and the cigars lighted.
Under his leadership. with P. E. r.
MacNichol presiding at the piano.
the seventy men lifted up their
voices in harmony, first singing
some OF the snappy popular num-
bers to loosen UP their larynxs. then
swinging into the real harmony or
the concert numbers"
At the insistent cali Of the MEM
bers present. the cooks and kitchen
| police left their duties In the service
rooms for a few minutes to file into
the banquet room and sing LII

formed on several other numbers be-
fore the brother Elks would permit
them to 60. and the spirit prevalent
at the meeting OF Thursday evening
was one of the finest manifestations
which has been experienced at any
of the notable series of meetings this
season.
It was announced last night that
the supper meetings will continue,
with the entire membership forming
a committee of the whole to stage
the supper at the next regular meet
ing of the lodge on Thursday even
ing, May %. Plans are also in pro-
cess of formulation for ladies'
night session which will be observed
at one of the early meetings in June.
when special entertainment features
will be provided and the whole
club house will be opened up to the
ladies.
The supper program was follow

with the newly installed officers con-
Quoting the session at which candi-
dates were initiated into member
