flinging her arms about the swaying
figure Of the 17-year-old office boy

The boy chung to the girl weakly

tears. cav. Ruth, they amt pinchcd

"Who said I'd been arrested? 2"
"Micky Moran. I'm gonna knock
his block off, the big liar" Benny
gasped, swiping a sleeve across his
unmanly tears. II knowed you didn't
do it"
"And how did you know, Benny?"
McMann demanded, in a deceptiyely
casual and friendly voice, from his
chair at Borden's desk. "Come. on
over here and tell me all about it, il
you're able to walk. Been sick
all day, Benny? Just what seems to
be the trouble ?"
"Who wants to know" the office
boy countered in a quavering, bellig-
erent voice.
"This is Detective Sergeant Nc
Mann, in charge Of the investiga-
ton of Mr.. Borden's murder, Ben
n.y." Ruth told the boy gently.
PLEASED to meetcha!" Benny
slumped into the chair the detective
in a funny, frightened nod.
"Now that we've been properly in
troduced, Benny" McMann grinned,
suppose we start all over again.
Why didn't you come to work this
morning?"
"'Cause I was sick, mister" Ben

Sick to my stummick. Guess ct too
many hot dogs yesterday. Or maybe
it was ptomaine poisoning"
"Or maybe" and McMann leaned

TREE PRUNING

Interest in the pruning demon
s+ration meetings held during the
mast week apparently was quite
varied. A total of close to 4o peo-
nia turned out for the pruning
,,eatinps in the Richland commun-
Nv while at Kennewick, the larg-
est attendance at any meeting was
re and at Prosser, but 8. The at
tendance at White Bluffs and Han
ford was very good, approximately
AZ to 40 attending in the White
Rluffs community and rs IN the
Hanford community. 1t so happen
ed that on the days when work was
scheduled in Kennewick and Pros
ser, a dense fog had coated the
trees with heavy coat OF frost.
Mr.. Bregger, the extension spec
ialist in horticulture, got a rather
warped idea of the interest in hor-
ticultural work in the county from
the attendance on the two days
he was with us. The rain the fol-
lowing week seemed to have start
ed a little interest in the commun-
tiles in which meetings were sched-
uled.
Pruning work covered all phases
of tree fruit crops from young 10
matured apples, cherries, peaches,
apricots and pears, although not
in all instances were all types OF
pruning actually done.
Judging from the mature apple
trees pruned, we would say that
many orchards were not producing
the terminal growth or new wood
growth which tree of good vital
ity should produce. Undoubtedly a
part of this is due to need of fer
tility but large part of it is also
due to the fact that these trees
have now reached the period, in
their development when the wood
growth has been slowed up by the
the excessive production of bloom
and fruit in some cases. Trees
which have reached the condition
where they are producing but four
to six inches of new twig growth
on the average over the entire
tree need to be stimulated into the
production of more wood growth.
A reasonable amount of nitrate
fertilizer, We believe, will assist
materially here. We would not rec
ommend more than LIZ to lbs.
OF ammonium sulphate per tree
scattered between the rows extend
ing from one irrigation ditch to
the other, there being no particu-

lar need of spreading fertilizer so
close to the tree. There is a real
pruning problem, however, in the
stimulating Of this additional wood
growth. This can be accomplished
by the thinning out of the branches
to the point that all parts of the
tree will be able to get sufficient
light to maintain good growing
conditions. In addition to this, how
ever, many branches heavily load
ed with old spur wood should have
this spur wood thinned down ap-
proximately so per cent, saving OF
course, the stronger spurs and al
so those having the newer growth.
Many trees need this kind of prun-
ing. In emphasizing this kind of
pruning to those attending the the
meetings, it was usually common
to have several state that that
type of pruning was too costly,
but questioning usually brot out
the fact that it could be done with
not more than an hours additional
time given to it and that at 5Oc
extra cost of pruning should De
overcome in reduction of thinning
costs and in the improvement of
quality which would be bound to
occur along with more uniform
bearing year after year.. We are
going to suggest that orchardists
who have apple trees well along in
the period of production, select one
tree and after thinning out the
branches to the point that most of
the growers are pruning, follow
this UP by removal of approx
rmately so percent of the spur wood
on the larger branches, of course,
leaving spurs so as to have good
distribution of them over the tree
trunk and branches wherever a
reasonable amount of light can get
to them. This system of pruning
then should be followed for two or
three years at least and a check
made of this tree as compared to
those from which spurs have not
been thinned. It has recently been
shown by experiment that heavy
bloom is almost as devitalizing up
on the tree as is heavy production
and hence the reason for this spur
thinning. The same thing would
apply to pears and especially var
ieties which are rather in the habit
of off bearing.
The question of pruning of ma
ture cherry trees and especially
the older trees has been problem
for many growers, and one which
many growers have been interest

WHITSTRAN HOST TO
POMONA GRANGE

At very well attended meeting
and one at which a number Of
problems were brought for discus
sion, the Whitstran Grange acted
as host to one of the best Pomona
meetings which has been held for
some time. Attendance was excep-
tionally large from the Whitstran
territory, but all communities OF
the county were represented.
The Whitstran Grange has
rather unique method Of serving
the lunch and every body was SER
we'd quickly and with no confusion.
It might look as though the other
Oranges might follow the lead Of
