later breaking down of the trees.
The pruning of the peach tree is
quite different from the pruning
of almost any other Of the tree
fruits. The same system of head
ing should be followed with peach
trees as with other tree fruits, in
stead of forming the head with
four or five branches coming out
at almost the same place or with
two equally heavy branches leav-
ing the trunk at the same point
and from these developing the
needed scaffold limbs. Peaches al
ways bear on the past seasons
wood and since there is an abund-
ance of this wood produced in the
peach tree, especially while it is
young, one does not need to worry
very much about the removal of
this wood. If the head is formed
with four or five good scaffold
limbs, enough lateral branches are
left to form a well rounded tree,
laterals headed back to good side
and the main branches with these
branch so as to thin down the wood
growth which will be produced the
coming season. The small twigs of
the past seasons growth then
should be thinned out to some
where's near the point where the
branches will set and be able to
carry the number Of peaches it
will actually support. The center
of the tree should always be left
open and branches should be thin
ned out to the point that light can
he maintained in the center of the
tree. The peach tree can be renew
ed easier than any other of the
tree fruits and the pruning should
be done so as to develop larger
tree until we have reached the max
imum size we wish, and yet keep
branches thinned out to the point
where we may have new wood pro-
duced and maintained low down on
the main scaffold limbs. Occasion
ally it will be necessary to remove
some of the larger limbs back to
a lateral and thus renew the tree
from the inside. By this system of
pruning one can maintain tree
of approximately any size wished
and at the same time keep it Wig
OrouS.
The pruning of the apricot tree
is approximately between that of
the peach and the apple and pear.
The apricot will renew itself more
readily than the apple and pear,
and yet not as readily as that of
the peach. Apricot trees may be
built up into the size of tree which
one wishes and then more or less
by removal Of lateral branches, be
renewed from time to time. Spurs
and lateral branches, carrying the
fruit wood, should be thinned out
to the point where the tree will
not be too seriously overloaded,
thus reducing the work Of thin
ming fruiting time by this work.
The size and quality Of apricots
may be very materially affected
by this type Of pruning.

PRATT DESCRIBES
INFORMER POLICY
Will Employ Paid Under-cover Men
Only When Necessary,
He Declares.

Mai. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent
of police, announced yesterday he in
tended to follow the policy of his prede-
cessor. Edwin B. Hesse, in using paid in
formers only when necessary.
It has been the practice of the de-
partment, Maj. Pratt explained, to use
members of the force for under-cover
investigations whenever possible. but
there are times when the services of an
outsider are essential. The usefulness
of a policeman for such work. he point
ed out. usually ends when he appears in
court to testify against law violator.
and when new officers are no longer
available, 1t is necessary to engage pro-
fessional informers.
Experience in police court trials, Mai.
Pratt said, teaches that policemen are
more effective witnesses than paid in
formers. Moreover, he declared, the
paid informers frequently fail to get
adequate evidence, which has resulted
in number of cases being nolle pressed.
Reports that he planned to eliminate
paid informers were attributed by him
as an outgrowth of the denuncia Jon of
The informers by Assistant United States
Attorney r. r. Camalier at a meeting
Tuesday night of the Citizens Service
Association.

Washington has developed into a
great mercantile center. with goods
comparing most favorably with other
cities throughout the United States. it
is declared In a statement issued today
by the committee of the local Chamber
Of Commerce on retail trade.
The committee, believing that the
people of Washington are not fully
cognizant Of this fact. suggests that this
revolution" in the scope and character
of local mercantile service be brought
to the attention, Of the public of greater
washington through cooperative edu-
cational methods, as may be decided
upon by representative District mer-
chants, to the end that the volume Of
buying from local establishments be
materially increased and to minimize
the placing Of orders with out-of-town
concerns.
The chamber has named Arthur j.
Sundlun chairman and John 2. Walker
vice chairman of the 1929 Buy in
Washington" committee.
The retail trade committee, of which
Lssac Cans Is chairman. also is consid-
ering the possibility Of organizing an
annual cherry blossom celebration. This
subject is being studied by commit
tee consisting of Gen. Anton Stephan,
chairman; William J. Eynon. Joseph A.
