BIG HARBOR FUND GOES TO MOBILE Measure To Pass House Allots $32s,4oO To
 Alabama

WASHINGTON, D. O., March 27.- The bulk of the lump sum appropria- tion for rivers and harbors carried in the non-military activities of the war department measure which will pass the House tomorrow, to be allotted to Alabama, will go to Mobile, accord ing to General Beach, chief of engineers, today.
 The fact that the bill carries only $S7 ,250000, whereas the requirement. is $44, 100000, will seriously handicap the engineers in plans for improvement which they had mapped out Inasmuch however as the amount iB expected to serve only eight instead of 12 months (another appropriation will be in order next March) General Beach thinks original plans to great extent, may be carried out.
 About $S2s, 400 will be expended in Alabama, divided as foiIowe: Mobile harbor. $80,000 for Improvements i; $20S,40O for maintenance Black War rior, Warrior and Tombigbee river, $25,0 5,000 for improvement; Alabama river, $30, 900 for improvement; $45,- 900 for maintenance; Coosa river, 5000 for inaintenance Tombigbee river, $15,000 for maintenAnce.

(gTATF CAPTTAI RURFAT1

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 27-- The complaint heard about education today to the effect that school teachers spend their time examining children on the poor instruction given by parents the night before, is nothing new, but was heard nearly, a century ago, according to Dr. John Matthews Manly, head of the department of Eng fish of Chicago university. Dr. Manly was at the capitol today, and called on State Superintendent of Education John W. Abercrombie. He is a native Alabanian. born in Sumter county, and his grandfather, Dr. Basil Manly, was the second president of the University of Alabama. Dr. Manly has papers giving addresses delivered by his grand father, and other information as to his career and has found from this data that the criticism of education referred to above was deplored at least as far back as 1880 and 1S40. Dr. Manly was accompanied on his visit by his sister, Mrs. Robert c. Patrick, widow of the former president of Judson college.
 Birmingham must find some means of giving her bountiful supply of chill dren their rii ihtful educational heritage, in the opinion of Col. Alex Garber of the Magic City, who called at the cap itol today Colonel Gafber declared that Birmingham has outgrown it's facilities in several respects. The rapid expansion of the industrial giant of Jefferson county has resulted in chil- dren attending school in two daily shifts" owing to inadequate facilities.
 Colonel Garber is well known at the capitol, having held the office of at- t0rney general in 1007-11. He is a booster for Birmingham, and declared that business conditions there are good with a bright outlook for the future.
 Representative W. B. Graves, Talla- poosa county, and Mayor Charles May berry of Wayerly, were at the capitol today, attending a conference to look after Waverly's interests in the matter of relocation of the Central of Georgia railway lines in that section. An agree ment satisfactory to Waverly was reached.
 Further evidence of big acreage in cotton this year was furnished today by J.' W. Green of Dallas county, vet eran member of several Alabama leg islatures, who caled at the governors office. Mfr. Green is q locomotive en- gineer, and stated that the fertilizer movement for the season to date is the biggest he. has seen in many years, and that farmers in his section are going in for q large cotton acreage.

PEACH NEEDS MOST
PRUNING ATTENTION

OF all the tree fruits the peach re
ouires most attention in pruning. AT
best, II is short-lived tree, and II
allowed to spend all Of Its powers OF
growth each year, II soon eXhausts
Itself and dies of old age. Moreover.
its habits of bearing are such-the
fruit buds being borne on the current
years wood-that unpruned trees soon
become unmanHgeable.
Pruning the peach resolves Itself
into two distinct problems: First. TO
Increase the vlgor Of the tree; and,
second. to train the tree to form
that will make orchard operations
easy and give a maximum amount OF
fruit-bearing wood. 1t is presumed
that peach grower wants merry
life and IL short one" for his trees,
and In order TO secure this on sandy
soils. he must head back. The hardy
sorts, nearly all of which are weak in
growth. must be pruned much more
severely than the stronger growing
kinds, which, as rule, DO not pear
nearly so many fruit buds.
The peach does not bear transplant
ing as well as most fruits. II is neces-
sary. then. in order TO prevent exces'
sive evaporation from the top as the
plants start, to cut away part of the
branches-best done by cutting back
all branches to stubs several inches IN
length or by cutting to a whip. the
second year the top must be formed.
Of "a
rnoice-the vase form or open-cen-
tered tree and the glObe-centered
tree. In the first the framework OF
the tree consists Of a short trunk, sur

growth. cutting to upper and inner
buds so that the oblique ascending
vase form is maintained. The prun-
ing of the third season Is much the
same. except that some Of the interior
branches should be renewed TO open
up the heads TO air and sunshine. The
third seasons pruning may be repeat
ed from year to year bearing in mind
that the slow-growlng. hardy, produc-
tive sorts can be pruned much more
severely than the free-growing tender
kinds. open forks should be care
fully avoided, thus greatly lessening
the danger Of splitting when branches
are heavily laden.

Apricot Trees Usually
Don't Need PollinatiOn

So far as is now known, apricot
trees are generally self-fruitfu! that
is, they do not require pollination
from some other variety in order to
set fruit. as In the case of the sweet
cherry. Consequently, failure to bear
on the part Of the apricot is probably
due to something else than pollination
At the same time, In seasons of wet,
cool conditions at bOssoming, pollen
often fails to germinate or to grow
sufficiently rapidly to fertiliZe the
ovnry. and so result in normal fertili-
zation and fruit setting. The result is
that fruit apparently sets, but drops
prematurely. If the dropped fruits are
cut open they will often be found to
contain shrunken or abOrtive seeds,
showing incomplete fertilization. OBJ
Viously nothing can be done to coun-
teract the effect of the season un-
suited to fruit setting.
