Tree Damage
From October
Freeze Found
Bridge Grating Is Best
Method Of Saving
Trees
By N. p. ANGLIN,
Denutv horticultural Inspector

xAOAVANssASASs~~~~
IT. has been discovered that some
damage to apple tree trunks re
suited from the October freeze. TnS
damage has only recently been
found in some orchards where Tree
scraping is being done.
The damage is found on the
southwest side of the tree, from
the ground level up to about Il
inches, and can be found by tapping
the tree gently with some metaan
instrument, the affected area pro-
ducing hollow sound.
While the damage seems TO pc
slight at the present time, it IS EVIL
dent that the bark has only begun
to loosen since the present warm
neriod. and it is difficult to deter
mine whether or not the damage
will be more serious later on.
The best-known method OF over
coming this damage is bridge graft
ing, but preparations must be MADE
immediately. Water sprouts taken
; from the trees are the best material
for this particular kind OF grant
ing, as they are harder and faster
growing. They should be cut I'M
J mediately, wrapped in wet burlap,
and buried on the north side OF
some building, at least a foot deep.
: until they are TO be used.
> This work may be done any time
= = after the bark loosens from the tree
: trunks. The reason for cutting the
sprouts and burying them immedi-
ately is that they should be kept
in the dormant state until ready Tor
r. use.
The December freeze of 1919 was
y similar to this, but much more ser
ious. and had the injury been dis
covered in time, most of the result
- ing damage could have been rem
- edied by bridge grating. However
- the damage was not discovered IN
: til midsummer the following yeaS
at which time bridge grating wa
- tried by some growers with YER
- poor results.
- Some growers, in desperation
tried some of this grating in tn
spring of 1921, but the damage wa
too far advanced to obtain any ap
preciable results.
+. Bridge grating is not Difficult
and can be done by any grove
a. with a Little instruction and equip
hv ment.
h Let me repeat that the damag
ito is not serious at the present tim
nc but may or may not be more SCI
IF ious later on.
- Any grower can cut and bury a
an the cuttings needed for this Wo1
40 in two or three hours, and if the
are needed, he will be preparet
Nc if he does not need them, it w
rar be good insurance.

Negro Gives Tip
Moore was arrested Saturday night
IN the tip of Banks Taylor, Negro pan
Try boy at the hotel, who had been
secretly detained since Thursday night
FOR questioning. Moore, the sheriff
said, was questioned all night before
confession was wrung from hi',,.
Although many mysterious clues
turned up during the long investiga-
ION. Sheriff Brown said that j. was
the pantry boys tip and the bullet
aiken from the girls body that made
possible a solution.
Brown said Taylor told him that
hall boy had recently come into pos
session of a pistol The sheriff took
Taylor to Moore's home and con-
fronted him with the story. Moore,
at first, he said, denied owning the
pistol, but later admitted it.
Moore the Sheriff said, led him to
niche beneath some plumbing I'M
Ter his home where he had hidden
the weapon. The pistol, the Sheriff
said, was a heavy 80 calbre Spanish
eight shot automatic, fully loaded.
The butt of the gun, with which
Moore in his purported confession,
said he Dashed the girls face was
stained with blood, and blond hairs
chung to it. The ball in the cartridge
he said, matched the one removed
from the girls body.
About 1:3O o'clock Sunday morning,
Tom Brown, deputy sheriff and broth
er of Sheriff Brown, said officers
went to the home of L. D. Roddy and
brought him to Jail. Moore had claim
ed he had lent Roddy his pistol
Roddy asserted he knew absolutely
nothing of the crime.
Officers installed a dictaphone in
one of the Jail cells and put Taylor
and Moore in the cell, where they
were left alone.
AS the officers listened, they heard
Taylor tell Moore that he knew that
ne had not loaned the pistol to Roddy
and he shouldn't be a damn fool
but should go ahead and tell the Of
ficers about the crime. Taylor adj
vised him, the officers said, there wa:
no use of his lying, that the sheriff
was sure to find out about it.
About an hour after Taylor and
Moore had been placed in the cell and
officers went there and accused
Moore of the Staying, telling that they

The Negro youth said he did not ex-

I shot her:
"She screamed some more, he add

The opening lead was the K of

no idea whether his partner held
the Ace, the @ or both, as an OPEN
ing K lead may come from either
of the preceding three holdings. To
avoid such doubt in partners mind
it is a good idea to lead the Ace
from 8 or more of a suit, if held,
whether or not the K also is held.

North ruffed He led back the K
of diamonds to dummy's weakness.
Declarer's Ace won. Two rounds

A diamond was discarded on

the K covered declarer ruffed. The
Ace of spades was led. Dummy's
last diamond went thereon. Dummy
used it's last trump to ruff a dia-

cards of that suit. Those two cards
were discarded on dummy's good

er only good trumps and fulfilling
