Too Many Branches Cut
Off Trees First Season

Many orchard growers, In an ef-
fort to make their trees appear
properly pruned, remove entirely too
many branches the first year, says
L. j. Talbert, chairman OF the hor-
ticulture department of the Missouri
College OF Agriculture. This usu-
ally happens when growers take
possession of an orchard In which
pruning has been badly neglected. or
when they appreciate too late the
value of pruning In their orchards.
This severe pruning after years of
negligence may throw out of bal
ance the top and root system and
produce a heavy growth Of wa.
ter sprouts which may result In lit
tie or no fruit development. 1t Is
a much wiser procedure to prune
only moderately the first year, re-
moving and thinning out the small
branches in the top of the tree, here
and there in the center, and oD the
sides in order to open up the tree
for the admittance of sunlight and
air.
1t is seldom advisable or neces-
sary in the neglected orchard to
remove limbs larger than IL inches
in diameter. 1t is true that occa-
sionally limbs larger than this will
be found growing in undesirable
places.-Missouri Farmer.

Operates on Mother

Sudbury, Ont.-Mrs. Nike Smee-

ness of her twelve. ear-old son
Steve.
Without funds 70 obtain medi-
cal attention. Steve performed
an emerf ency operation on his
mother, who was suffering from
pleurisy.
For 40 days the boy had petit
toned 1octors in Sudbury to
visit his mother, who lived in a
small cottage six miles north of
Sudbury. he failed in his efforts,
however. because he lacked the
necessary SO fee.
When his last effort failed he
took a razor, made an incision in
his mothers back and drained
out more than quart of fluid.
Provin :ial police visited Mrs.
Smeegle and found her doing
we'll. They said that there was
no doubt that she ewed her life
to her son.

Hats are becoming more and more
brim-conscious as the season ad-
vances. Just because the season Is
still young brims are carrying on
rather timidly. but walt and see
what the summer will bring in the
way of wide picturesque brims. The
characteristic thing about immedi-
ate brims is their way of dipping
f1irtatiously over the right eye.
Each of the hats shown here per-
form the trick" with a gesture of
ultra chic. The model at the top
is of peau d. ange shantung which
has been allover stitched with
brown in a sort of radiating-from-
the center movement. A garniture
of velvet flowers encircles the
crown. The other chapeau Is of
black loosely woven straw of satiny
sheen. 1t has a draped band of
capucine velvet ribbon set into the
crown ending at the side over and
under the brim with sprightly twin
bows. The moral of this story is
that 1t behooves fashions followers
to see to it that their spring hats
are trimmed with a touch Of velvet,

Psyllid and Flea
Beetle EDO Damage
Potato Insects Cost Grow
ers Four Million Dol
lars in Past Year.
BY Leslie B. Daniels. Deputy state En-
tomologist. Colorado Agricultural
College.-WNU Service.

Colorado's potato crop was dam
aged to the extent of S3,702,0O dur
ing 1882 by two destructive insects,
the potato psyllid and the potato
flea beetle.
This estimate Of damage is based
on low prices paid for potatoes pro-
duced last year. In normal years,
the loss to producers would have
been much heavier. The psyllid
damage totaled $2,700,0O0.
Serious outbreaks of psyllid dis
ease this past season also have oc-
Cured in Utah, Wyoming, Nebras-
ka, Arizona and New Mexico. Com
mon perennial ground cherries fur
nish probably the greatest menace
as host to psyllids. These plants
harbor millions of the insects from
spring till fall.
Farmers of Colorado have been
gambling with psyllids for the past
thirty years. The enormous num-
ber of these insects present through
out the state in 1882 would indicate
that we are close to a peak in num-
bers. When such peaks occur
there are ordinarily natural forces
such as parasites that enter to re-
duce the population for the coming
season.
We know that a specific para
site was doing effective work in de-
stroying psyllids last season, al
though II did not become active
early enough to affect the course OF
the disease.
1t is highly possible that the
psyllid insects will be so reduced In
numbers by this parasite that they
may not do much damage this year.
Although this is highly possible we
cannot predict it with absolute GER
tainty because we still have much
to learn about the psyllld.
As to control OF this insect
through the use of insecticides there
Is very little that | can say. We
did treat fields in Morgan county
with lime-sulphur and oil sprays, but
neither controlled the condition.
We are expecting TO continue
rather extensive investigations on
control this season. providing funds
are made available.

Captain Ayers estimates that
fully 98 per cent Of the girls re-
ported missing here year in and
year out are either restored to their
relatives or otherwise accounted
for. Vast numbers of them return
thoroughly disillusioned-of their
own accord. Many who had run

the homes of friends or acquaint-
ances after a night or two of abb

they move quickly, they have due

Train crews in the subway seldom

Scientist Makes Forecast
of Solar Radiation.

Washington Its going TO be
colder on the sun for the next two
years. but who knows what will
happen on the earth?
a long-range forecast of solar
radiation has just been made by
Dr. Charles G. Abbot, secretary of
the Smithsonian institution, and
published. with the supporting
data. in an institution bulletin.
There is believed to be a very
intimate relationship between the
suns weather and the earth's
weather, but il Is SO extremely COM
plex that as yet il is not possible to
make valid deduction from one to
the other. So Abbot stresses, the
prediction has nothing TO do with
terrestrial temperatures.
For two years the average radia-
tlon of the great star into space
from which the earth obtains the
heat and light which make life pos
sible-promises 10 be below normal.
II has been rather consistently
higher than normal since 1880.
Basis for Prediction.
Abbot bases his prediction on
periodicities found by calculation
in the solar cOnstant-the amount
Of radiation per square centimeter
per second received at the outside
limit Of the earth's atmosphere.
The normal value is 1910 calories.
This varies with an extremely COM
plex periodicity. BY observations and
calculations extended over years Abb

Concrete Floor Anchors

In fastening machinery to con-
crete floors, a good method is to
drill a hole in the concrete, place
a bolt in it and pour lead around
the bolt. Make the hole larger at
the bottom than at the top, so the
lead cannot be pulled out. Be sure
there is no water in the hole, or
steam will form and blow out the
metal. Melted sulphur may be used
instead of lead if the machine will
not be subjected to much strain or
vibration. as may be the case in
some buildings.

sent to approximately 10000 farm
ers of Ontario last year by the ex-
perimental union.
The University of Tennessee ex-
tension live stock specialists advise
farmers that a hog losing weight
should never be butchered.
Approximately so per cent of the
milk produced in Idaho is used for
butter manufacture. Butterfat pro-
duction increased from 100000
pounds in 1920 to 36,OOO,444 pounds
in 1880.
A half million dollars of wealth
was created by members of Al
clubs in Ohio in 1892. During the
past year, 1919 boys and girls in
live stock clubs sold their animals
for S360.262.

Thanks for Maple
Sirub Due Indians

Fine stands of sugar maple have
appeared on cut-over areas in many
localities. These young maple trees
are mixed with beech, yellow birch,
hemlock and other less desirable
species. In most of these young
stands maple trees are tall and
slender because they have grown
close together and have not had
room to spread their crowns.
Increase in the diameter of a tree
is dependent upon the leaf surface
exposed TO sunlight and consequent
size of the tree crown. The growth
rates can be increased by thinning
the young stand to give the maple
trees a chance to grow larger
crowns. If the purpose is lumber
production the trees should be kept
in close position to shade out the
side limbs, but for maple sugar
production a tree with a large
crown is more desirable because it
will produce more sap.
Dense Stands Need Thinning.
The sugar bush" can be devel-
oped by opening up the dense young
sapling stands, leaving the we'll
formed young maple trees room to
grow wide crowns By the time the
tree gets into good production il
should have crown 80 feet In
width.
Maple sirup and maple sugar are
considered by foresters as forest
products and often prove to be the
chief source of forest revenue. The
sugar bush" should be given
every care in order to produce the
best results.

Has Grown to Industry
Valued at Billions.

Syracuse, y. Y.-The American In
dian gave the white man the idea
of how TO make maple sirup and
maple sugar. an annual product
which has been valued in the Unit
ed States between S2.OO0,OO0,000 and
S3,0O00O0,OOO, says the New York
state college of forestry, Syracuse
university.
There are l3 species of maple
trees in the United States from
which maple sugar sap can be OBJ
tanned. although so TO 90 per cent
of sirup and sugar comes from the
sugar or hard maple. which attains
an age in some cases of 400 years.
The flow of sap is caused by cold
nights and warm days. These
changes in temperature produce al
ternate expansion and contraction
of the gases in the tree, which, it
is thought. influence the flow of
sap. The quantity of sap depends
upon the amount of food manufac-
tured by the tree the previous year
and this in turn depends upon the
leaf area of the tree and the
amount of sunshine that falls upon
the foliage.
Uses Freezing Method.
The Indians made maple sugar
by repeatedly letting the sap freeze
and scraping off the frozen water
on top after each freezing. Trees
usually produce from FIVE to forty
gallons of sap each.
