CITRUS EXPERT ADVISES ON
GRAPEFRUIT PRUNING RULES

% admit more sunlight to the in
overdo this thinning. A good maxim
for the pruner is; when in doubt DO
not cut.
Growers attending the meetings
particularly asked if the lower hang
ing limbs should be removed to al,
low cultivation around the trunk.
S"hoonovcr assured the growers tha:
2 heavy pruning of these limbs on
.cung trees would slow the growth Of
the trees and delay them in coming
INTO bearing. He pointed out that
the ground under the trees when
we'll shaded produces few if any
weeds and hence does not require
cultivation. However, he suggested
tie removal of the under, shaded
branches resting directly: on the
Ground, by under cutting them from
tie lower limbs, rather than remov-
ing the lower limbs altogether.
Eventually, he said, these lower
limbs would need be removed when,
but not until, they were shaded out
by higher limbs dropping to the
ground. He admitted that branches
which flagrantly protruded in the
way Of cultivation should be remov
I'd.
Schoonover, asserted that no stubs
, should be left. The removal of all
branches should be made by cuts
: lncated clese and parallel to the par
cnt limbs.
AS to time Of pruning Schoonover
virtually recommended pruning
whenever the pruning tools were
sharp. He stated that citrus trees are
Usually pruned soon after their cror
i harvested irrespective of season.
Heavy pruning, he asserted, while
injurious at any time, is particularly
injurious during the spring growing
season.

BAY FOR HOURS

Deputy sheriffs and a federal

tian an hour yesterday by a woman
-Sith a revolver in "bootleg' raid
ii short distance north of Sandia. The

her five children crowded about
her, threatening to shoot if the raid

ear and loaded into the machine.
The woman then began the disturb

ing huge demi john, shattered it
and the deputies then told her they
would have to take her along to Jail
With her husband. She replied that
10 one was going to Jail and went
into the house..
When she returned she brandisl
ed the weapon and the deputies fear
full of injuring the woman or Tie
children in shooting affray, re-
tired short distance. They argued
at long range with the woman, fin
ally talking her into putting up the
gun. She then submitted to arrest
and walked out to the police car and
got in, but as the police started pre-
airing her and her husband for 4
tide to Jail she handed the gun to
her husband, having kept it con.
ccaled on her person instead of put
ting it away as the deputies cup
losed.
But the raiders made quick work
C the husband. He started on a run
toward the house but he was over
taken and quickly relieved of the
revolver.
