ORCHARD IN
ONE TREE HAS
MANY BLOOMS
Noah Hollowell's Grated
Tree Produces Is Kinds
of Apples
By NOAH HOLLOWELL


Did you ever imagine the Joy,
the anticipation and the cxpecta-
ton of the orchardist as he now
beholds a field of apple trees, most
Of which are now in the perfec-
tion Of bloom?
If you can picture yourself in
his position as he beholds this
mass of beauty with fears of a
freeze and hopes of a big crop
from a heavy bloom on many va
rieites of trees, imagine the thrill
when it can all be concentrated
into one apple tree in your back
yard.
The combining of a whole or
chard of numerous varieties into
one tree is the whole story. When
YOU have a score Of varieties on
one tree, more than casual prun-
ing is necessary. Each limb must
have room to grow without being
crowded. 1t needs sunlight to COL
or and mature the fruit.
Certain varieties are noted for
rapid growth and lots Of courage
is required to prune them severe

Juicy? Yes, they have to be dis
ciplincd harshly so they will not

ricties. Some limbs are as selfish
in their nature as those who eat
thcrefrom. Some of the funda-
mental principles of pruning have
to be forgotten when it comes to
pruning a composite orchard in
the form Of one tree.
CALLED FRIENDSHIP TREE
You can't imagine anything but
fun in a two-hour performance of
this kind, although it does smack
of labor if you keep it up long
enough. In addition to the limb
from the favorite tree in the old
home orchard, there are the limbs
from CRAFTS or pins given you by
friends, hence the name, friend

under such sentimental surround
ings anything but a pleasure and
recreation. =,
This "orchard-in-one" method
of fruit growing, so admirably
adapted to the city dweller, neces-
sarilv receives more care and at
tention than any one of the hun
dreds of trees of the orchardist.
This Friendship" tree has already
had its dormant spray to kill in
sects alternating under the bark
and even on the bare limbs before

for four straight hits in the third
inning. but could add them up to
only one run. They collected three
hits and a walk in the 7th, but
could not add them up to any
thing.
Another of those tragic opening
day defeats was handed Lefty Co
mcz. He pitched eight innings and
was charged with his third straight
opening day defeat. The Senators
beat him, 10, last year on open
ing day. The year before the Red
Sox beat him by the same score.
In three years he has allowed tve
runs and lost three games. The
Yanks have made the grand total
of two runs for him in the same
period.
Gomez pitched well enough to
win, and would have had it not
been for Al Simmons, who leads
the American leagues active play
crs with a lifetime batting aver
age of .345. Simmons, recently
purchased from the Detroit IL
gers. slashed out three vital hits.
His single to right in the first
inning gave Washington its first
run. Ben Chapman had walked,
and raced to third when Myril
Hoag threw wild to first after tax
ing a fly. He scored on Simmons
hit.
Then in the 9th with the Yanks
leading 81. Simmons drove a
homer into the right field stands.
He started the winning rally in
the Sth with single to left. John
Stone forced him at second. and
raced to third when Ossie Bluege
singled off Selkirk's glove in right.
Stone scored on Shanty Hogan's
flv to Johnson in left.
The Yanks made 10 hits Oft
Weaver. but SQuandcrcd them,
Their only two runs came in the
3rd when Rolfc. Johnson, Gchrig
and Dickey singled in succession.
Gchrig tried to stretch his single
to a double. but was cut down at
second by Stones rifle arm.
Gomez famed five men and
walked two. Johnny Murphy
pitched the last inning. and gave
up a lone hit. Weaver famed
three and walked four.

CHINA TO BOMB
JAPAN, is BELIEF

A graphic picture of the "un-
official" Sino-Japanese war was
drawn in two letters received to-
day by Walter Barkdull, adver-
tising director of The TimeS-Her-
aid, from George L. Pass, Wash
ington attorney who is in China
on a business trip.
The letters, written in Hankow
a month ago, describe the bomb
ing of railroads and cities by the
japanese.
A prediction that China. will
carry the aerial war to Japan in
the next two or three months is
made in one of the letters.
Pass revealed that China has
purchased 100 fast four-motored
bombing planes and 100 pursuit
ships which were then being de-
hvered, and another 400 planes
for future delivery.
Japanese losses in killed and
wounded in the Shanghai area
total 75,000. Pass said:
Predicting a long war, he wrote:
Japan Is aiming at the heart
Of China, but China will wear
Japan out if it takes a century
to do so. Besides, changes of
events may take place, and
Japan may find herself at war
with Russia"
