Pruning should be done in spring
before the growth starts, and good
sharp tools used. On small plants.
sharp knife or ordinary pruning
shear or clipper may be used. On
large plants, the two-handed shears
should be used with caution.
FRS, pines and spruces some
times develop less thickly than de-
sired. Punching out" the terminal
bud on a twig forces the develop
ment of lateral buds, resulting in a
thicker, heavier growth. Buds may
be pinched out in spring or sum-
mer. If pinched out in summer,
the lateral buds tend to develop
more sturdily and are in a better
condition to grow the following
season.
It is important to remember in
pruning is that the plant thus tends
to grow back into its natural form,
therefore it is sensible to prune
with the natural form of the plant
as a guide. It is not so good to
prune plants into shapes into
forms and shapes far removed
from the natural form in the norm
al. Only in cases of hedges and
topiary work, should the pruning
be considered as a creative form Of
work, otherwise, it must be looked
upon as a corrective. Do not prune
weak branches. To thicken the
growth on pines, spruces and frs,
pinching buds is more effective on
strong branches. The strong
branches need only be restrained as
they tend to lengthenl too rapidly
at the expense of side branches.
Pruning for thickening the growth
is usually not apparent until the
second year. Young plants shear
ed and disbudded will show a much
heavier growth in later years.
The best effects are usually OBJ
tanned with plants of one central
stem. Some varieties with many
stems are often injured by weight
of snow or sleet. These sorts
should be tied loosely in the fan
to prevent the tops from spreading.
Only in the PROSTATE and spreading
varieties are many stems desir-
able.
If the main stem or leader Of an
evergreen is injured or broken, it

MOTHERS DAY

In accordance with national custom just 20
years old, Sunday May 49, will be observed
Mothers Day throughout the United States, in re-
Spouse to a proclamation by the President, who an
nually designates the second Sunday in May day
of homage to motherhood.
The day had been observed in cities as
early 1910, the idea having been originated by
Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, and the custom
spread rapidly. National recognition given in
1914, when Congress authorized the President to de-
signate the second Sunday in May of each year
Mothers Day. and the first proclamation under this
authority was issued by President Wilson the same
year
The object of the day, is well known, is to
recall memories of the mothers who have passed
and to pay special tributes of affection to those
living. The badge for the day is the white carna-
ton, emblematic of the purity beauty and fidelity of
a mothers love. By some the red carnaton is worn
in honor of living mothers.
Few of us reflect as often should the
debt of love and gratitude I'VE owe to our mothers
By thoughts and acts of sincere affection Moth
er's Day, and other days WELL we honor them
and do credit to ourselves

Evergreens are usually pruned to
secure particularly formal shape.
To prune evergreens for topiary
effects requires some patience and
skill and is not recommended for
general use. Evergreens are also
pruned to thicken the growth or TO
preserve or to restore the natural
symmetry of the plant. Dead or
diseased branches should be prrln-
ed OFF. Pruning off lower branches
is also not recommended as it de-
stroys the effect of symmetry. Few
do this, unless they have some GER
tain formal shape in mind.
AS a rule, evergreens do not bud
readily from old wood, so it is nee
essary to leave some wood Of the
previous or present seasons growth
when pruning Is done. IF the plant
is cut back to old wood, it will
show spots of dry foliage or leaf
less twigs. Some evergreens re-
spond to severe pruning. The COM
mon arborviae is an example. It
can be sheared heavily, therefore is
much used when q very formal
shape is desired.

erage size of the 1os farms in 1888

erage size Of the 108 farms in 1898
was 202 acres.
In 1882, when 143 farmers kept
records, total cash receipts per
farm averaged $1,0S5 more than
total cash expenses. The 1888 diff
ference of $1,426 represents a gain
of $341 over last year. This S., 426
however, is still far below the net
cash income of 1928, which was
$2,198, or that of 1929, which was
$2,429.
There was an increase of $5O5 in
farm inventory for 1888 as COM
pared with loss of 1919 for 1882,
or a difference in net worth of ST.
424. While this improves the farm
er's position as security for loans,
it is largely a paper asset and mist
not be confused with cash earnings.
Moreover, this gain only partially
offsets the very large drop which
inventories took between 1929 and
1892.

CANNOT PASS INSPECTION

In the past three weeks, 2,739
passenger cars and trucks have
been stopped by the State High
way Patrol for testing of brakes
and lights and the checking of
weights, says Highway depart
ment bulletin. Of these, 988 or
nearly one-third could not pass the
tests. Among the places where
checks were made were Litchfield,
Benson, Willmar, Forest Lake,
Cambridge, Glencoe and Wayzata.
Each driver stopped was also re-
quired to show his drivers license
card. Those without licenses are
taken before the nearest justice of
the peace. Those with defective
equipment are required to make
whatever repairs or adjustments
are necessary, and in some cases
taken into court.
