STATION FINDS
NEW SYSTEM OF
TREE BRACING
Wire Supports in Spider Web
Style Holds Trees in Shape
and Relieves Need for So
Many Props

According to information re-
ported by L. L. Claypool, Of the
Irrigation Branch experiment sta
ton at Prosser, method of wire
bracii1g for fruit trees which have
weak frame work branches has
proved satisfactory. He states
that Delicious trees very often
have weak crotches which split
easily under the strain Of q heavy
load of fruit, whereas most Of the
other important varieties form
strong crotches.
The central ring system Of wire
braciilg used at the Irrigation
Branch experiment station is the
most satisfactory one that has
been devised. BY this arrange
.ment the wires extending to the
branches are all attached to : ring
in the center Of the tree, giving q
spider web effect. This type
makes stronger and more salts
factory brace than the system Of
encircling the frame work branches
of the tree with single wire be-
cause all of the branches are
-braced. IF one wire breaks
from the central ring only the
limb attached directly to that wire
is lost, whereas If the wire breaks
in the circular system Of wire
bracing the whole tree is apt to
flatten out, especially if the tree
is carrying heavy load Of fruit.
Claypool suggests that If the
bracing is intended primarily for
supporting the leader branches
OF. the tree that it be placed only
few feet above the main crotch.
However, it is possible by place
ing the brace up near the top OF
the tree to give considerable sup
port to the fruit crop and thus do
away with much Of the propping
that would otherwise be neces-
sary.
Last summer q number Of trees
in the Irrigation Branch expert
ment station orchard lost large
branches because Of weak crotches
even though there was practical-
" no crop of fruit. This year,
however, Notwithstanding heavy
crop of fruit, no branches on CEN
trail ring wire braced trees were
lost.

The commissioners went on rec
ord as opposed to any reduction at
this time in the road and bridge
and district road fund levies, on
the grounds that this money rals-
ed by taxes was needed in provid-
ing work for the unemployed.
The commissioners at the same
time urged the Legislature to make
available to them more motor ve-
hicle funds for use in maintaining
and building county roads.
The legislature will undoubtedly
consider the two ideas together
The conclusion is obvious.
Joe Smith, former well-known
political writer in the state, now
a prominent bulb grower of Olym-
pia. has filed complaints against
candidates for office who have
filed their primary expense re-
turns, but failed to designate, as
required by statutes just from
what source their revenues came
from, and to whom each and every
cent was paid.
This is required by the statutes,
according to Smith, who is now
going to find out just what that
statute means.
