PRUNE TREES NOW TO
REMEDY TOP INJURY

Many fruit trees and ornamentals
suffered top injury last fall and win
ter due to being caught by freezing
weather before they had ripened suf-
ficiently to withstand the cold. Con-
sequently some pruning should be
done now to remedy the trouble so
far as possible, says Prof. w. H. Al
derman, horticulture chief, Univer-
sity Farm.
His advice is to wait until the buds
are we'll out, at which time the ex-
tent of the damage may readily be
noted and the dead wood distinguish
ed from that which is living. Then
all dead parts should be removed, the
trees being cut back to good live
wood. Where one side of tree is
affected heavily and the other side
little or none, it may be necessary to
cut the unaffected part back some
what in order to restore balance.
Orchardists who want to avoid a
recurrence of trouble from either top
or root injury will find it helpful to
allow grass or weeds to grow up in
the orchard during August and Sep
tember. If the orchard is cultivated
early in the season, oats or some
other crop may be seeded about the
first Of August. These cover crops
serve to take up moisture and hasten
ripening of the trees, as well as af-
fording protection to the roots during
the winter.

RETIRES AFTER FIFTY-TWO
YEARS OF r. r. WORK

After nearly So years of continu-
Gus service with the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad, during which
time he advanced from relief tele-
graph operator to the position of
station agent, Fred P. Starr, we'll
known New Ulm resident for almost
quarter of a century, was retired
on pension, June l, due to impaired
health, says the Brown County Jour-
nal. Up to the time of his retire
ment, Mr.. Starr held the distinction
of being the oldest station agent, in
point of service, in the system.
A heart attack suffered some time
ago prompted Mr.. Starr to take this
action.
Mr.. Starr received his first regular
employment by the company as tele-
grapher at Goodwin, S. D., in Sep
tember, 1878 and during the balance
of that year, and in 1879, he worked
as relief operator and station agent
at different points along the line west
of Sleepy Eye, being temporarily
stationed in Sleepy Eye, Springfield,
Tracy, Marshall and other places.
After spending many years in the
Dakotas and western Minnesota, Mr..
Starr came to New Ulm in 1905 to
take the position of station agent,
which he filled for nearly a quarter
of century with credit to himself
and to the general satisfaction of the
railroad patrons of that city and vici-
nifty.

IN BROWN COUNTY

At recent meeting held in the

ed, officers elected, constitution
adopted and various other matters

some weeks ago, when the advisable
lity of reorganizing a county histori-
cal society for the major purpose of
gathering the pioneer relics and data
of the early days of the county, for
perseverance for posterity, were dis
cussed, and it was the sense of the
meeting that a county society, affil-
lated with the State Historical So
ciety, should be organized.
Fred w. Johnson of New Ulm, who
was named temporary president of
the society, named the following COM
mittee to draft constitution and by
laws for the proposed organization:
F. w. Johnson, August Hummel,
New Ulm; ]. M. Johnson, Hanska;
VIM. Brust, Sleepy Eye and A. C.
Ochs, Springfield.
The last meeting was called by Mr..
Johnson, and was for the purpose of
submitting the proposed constitution
which was adopted after few minor
changes had been made.

Two generations of these pests
usually appear, so two treatments
should be given. By watching to see
when the leaves are being eaten,
fruit growers may readily determine
the proper time for each application.
Either spraying or dusting with
lead arsenate will give good results.
For the spray, use one ounce of the
lead arsenate to two gallons of water.
For dusting, use an ounce of lead
arsenate to five or six pounds of hy-
drafted lime. Whichever treatment is
used should be thoroughly applied.

BEACON FAILURE
MAY HAVE LED
FLYER ASTRAY

LAS VEGAS, Nev., Jan. 90. (U.R'
Failure of beason on the Leeds,
Utah, landing field caused Maury
Graham, missing Western Air Elk
press mail pilot, to lose his way in
= blizzard, it was believed here to-
day.
An attendant at the field was said
to have reported that his beacon
failed on the night, nearly two
weeks ago, that Graham got off his
course, presumably to go down in
the mountainous region between Las
Vegas and Salt Lake City.
The man, whose name was not
learned, said that while he worked
futilely to repair the guiding light,
an airplane circled over the field.
Apparently unable to get his bear
ings, the pilot swung off in the di-
reetion of the Pine Valley noun
tains, the attendant reported.
This word was brought back to
Las Vegas last night by members OF
Il searching crew piloted by Jimmy
t'ilcher, local flyer.
Acting on the latest tip in the
extensive hunt for Graham, a party
today searched Colob Plateau, i'll the
Pine Valley region, between St
George and Cedar City, Utah.
Snow still prevented sheriff's
posse from invading the Piute In

that Graham may be held captive
