Pruning Nounu Fruit Trees

AH'NS 'ONH4 F'eh iiCSa
Many roots are unayoidably re-
moved when trees are dug from the
nursery row. Therefore after be-
ing transplanted II is necessary
that the trees be pruned in order
TO restore the balance between the
roots and the stems and leaves
This first pruning also has an i'm
portant effect upon the future shape
OF the tree and should be done with
that in mind. There are many
styles and methods OF pruning each
kind OF tree.
One of the most popular methods
OF establishing the shape of a young
peach tree after transplanting is
to cut the main trunk Tor leader)
of about IS inches above ground.
preferably just above a point where
there happens to be three good
branches located as closely togeth-
er as possible on the trunk and
pointing about evenly in three diff
ferent directions so as to make
a well-balanced tree. These young
branches are then cut back leaving

inches long. All other branches
are entirely removed. II there are
not enough good branches located
closely together in the right place,
all of the branches are entirely re-
moved, leaving no stubs. During
the summer, several shoots usually
start near the point where the
trunk was cut off. The three best
located shoots are allowed to grow
regardless OF whether or not any
stubs were left. because sometimes
the best shoots spring from other
buds on the trunk rather than
from those on or near the stubs.
All other shoots are rubbed off
when quite young. II any one OF
the three shoots appears to be
growing more rapidly than the 9TH
ers, the top is pinched off thus
checking the growth temporarily
until the other shoots catch up
with It. Thus the framework OF
the young peach tree is formed dur
ing the first summer so that no
further pruning is required until
after the tree has begun to bear

Then they scamperea off. Kay was
grateful for the darkness. David
might have considered wet eyes
sentimental.
Don had neat contraption
rugged up for outdoor cooking. In
a short time he had the fire glow
ing, the steaks spluttering, and
they were all suddenly aware that
they were starved.
I'VE cut a meal down to bare
essentials when we eat out like
this" Polly said.
That's good" David said, with
conviction. IF there's one thing
that makes me mad, it's having a
good steak ruined by sweet pota-
toes, six vegetables and all sorts of
useless tripe."
Don had been bssting the steak
with a barbecue sauce and the
smell was divine. Its just about
ready" he announced grandly. A
maid had unobtrusively set a re-
fectory table, and lighted candles
protected by hurricane globes.
"Sit anywhere" Polly told them.
Kay and David sat on one bench,
facing Polly and Don. There were
bowls Of zinnias at each end of the
table, a huge wooden bowl Of salad
in the center. Don carved the steak,
the maid brought in baskets Of
warm French bread, and they all
fell to with undisguised ardor.

Don and Polly looked affectionately
at David. Real occasions call for
real wine. Let's drink it while we
still have it and can enjoy it to
gether."
The cork came out with a reas-
surfing pop, the red wine in the
crystal glasses had a deep glow in
the candlelight. The maid brought
out fruit, cheese and crackers.

CHAPTER EIGHT

"WE DON'T expect any com.
ments," Polly Jackson said to Kay
and David, talking about her Santa
Barbara view. 1T speaks for itself
You know, think 1 love it here
more every day. When we 60 to
New York every winter, I'm never
really happy. I'm always longing to
get back"
Kay thought OF her expensive
apartment, with her extremely ex-
pensive view Of the city. When she
was i'll New York it seemed impor-
tant to her. But she had given it
little thought since she had been
away. 1t certainly wasn't part of
her the way this breath-taking
beauty apparently was part OF
Polly.
Wen have cocktails out here
before dinner" Polly stated. Nov
you'd probably like to rest a while.
We dine late and don't dress. Don is
cook tonight and it will all be most
informal"
Kay's room was at the end OF
wing, a large room with the walls
mostly windows, all done in pale
yellow and a blue-green that was
the color Of the sea. 1t made KAY
feel young and clean. She tore off
her travelling clothes, jumped into
tub drenched with pine bath salt.
When she got out she wrapped her
self up in white toweling Dress
ing gown, which hung invitingly on
hook on the bathroom door.
There was a chaise lounge at the
end OF the room, by the windows.
Kay sank down on il, completely
relaxed. She looked out at the
trees. the tiny strip Of lawn. the
subdued flowers. Polly had been
clever about the planting around
this room. Realizing that the view
from the patio was too dramatic
for steady doses, she had screened
1t with tall shrubs. The result was
so restful that in five minutes Kay
was fast asleep.
A knock on the door woke her
up. Come on in" she called out
lazily.
I'm sorry il I've disturbed you"
Polly said, as she opened the door.
David was getting impatient and
demanded a search"
Kay sat up quickly. II hope l
haven't kept you all waiting. I'll
be dressed in five minutes.
There's no rush. I was all for let

Since his graduation as quail
fed delivery boy" 2-year-old Silver
has not missed one afternoon deliv-
ering papers, young Bryce said.
"All I do is ride along on my BIZ
cycle and throw him a paper. He
takes it to the front door. Then he
dashes back for more. He really
likes the work"
Silver Is Retriever"
Sometimes, the boy said, he takes
care of some of the deliveries him
self by throwing the papers on the
front doorstep. If he misses, how
ever, Silver will cover up" for him
by retrieving the paper from the
bushes or grass and placing it in
the proper place.
THE funniest thing that ever
happened" the carrier said, was
one afternoon when I threw paper
and it missed and fell in the bushes.
Silver ran forward to get it and put
it at the front door. There was an
other paper on the front walk. He
started to pick it up, but dropped it
suddenly. He knew it wasn't The
Star I suppose he couldn't smell
my hands on the paper. At any
rate he left it right on the walk
and ran to the bushes, where he
found The Star and carried it to
the front door,"

Harrington Appointed
Tax Commissioner
By Gov. 0'Conor
W. Laird Henry Is
Named Associate Judge
f. Of First Circuit
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. go
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 2.-Emerson C..
Harrington, jr, of Cambridge, son
of former Maryland Governor, was
named by Gov. O'Conor today as a
member of the State Tax Commits
sion.
He succeeds j. De Weese Carton
of Denton, who resigned October 6.
The post pays $4,000 a year.
Gov. O'Conor also named w. Laird
Henry of Cambridge as associate
judge Of the first judicial circuit,
succeeding T. Sangston Insley, re-
tired, after George H. Myers of
Somerset County, originally ap-
pointed by Gov. O'Conor, declined
the post.
Mr.. Henry had been Endorsed by
Judge Insley as his successor but
Gov. O'Conor named Mr.. Myers be-
cause the Maryland State Bar Asso-
citation had felt that he was entitled
to first consideration
In making the judicial appoint
ment, Gov. O'Conor said that he
knew Mr.. Henry personally and
professionally" and was convinced
that he would make a worthy
judge"
OF Mr.. Harrington, Gov. O'Conor
said he took into consideration the
fact that the Cambridge attorney
had been recommended for the
judgeship.
II believe that the same qualifi-
cations for the judgeship, in addi-
ton to the knowledge Mr.. Harring-
ton has of tax matters, justify his
appointment to the tax commission,
and I think he will be of material
assistance in the work of that i'm
portant body"
Gov. O'Conor said that under the
law, the appointee for Mr.. Carter's
vacated seat on the commission had
to come from the Eastern Shore.
Mr.. Harrington already has &C
cepted the appointment, the Gov
ernor reported.
Mr. Harrington's appointment
marked the third time during the
past year that Gov. O'Conor has
had an opportunity to name a new
tax commission member.
Gov. O'Conor previously named
the other two members, Chairman
William L. Henderson, Baltimore
Democrat, and Owen w. Hutchins,
Cumberland Republican.

Navy Plans 10 Accept
Some Volunteers
For Special Service
General Classification
Lists Remain Closed,
Gen. Hershey Says

A limited number of volunteers
for special service will be accepted
by the Navy now although its doors
are closed to volunteers for general
service, Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey
notified draft boards yesterday.
1t was understood that the selec-
tive service chiefs wire was sent
out to enable the Navy recruiting
men it needed for specific jobs al
though, generally, the Navy still has
a backlog of more men than it can
place in training stations.
At the same time, there were in
dications that the Navy would fol-
low the Marines in taking voluntary
inductees in the near future, prob
ably on exhaustion of the list Of
men who volunteered before the
halt order on enlistments.
Individuals sought by the Navy
for special jobs, Gen. Hershey told
Draft Boards, will be given letter
from a Navy recruiting officer adj
dressed to a local draft board
requesting the mans voluntary
induction.
The Navy. it was explained, does
not want Draft Boards to refuse to
send on to recruiting stations the
men 1t specifically wants. Boards
previously had been instructed to
hold all applications for the Navy
until further notice. This still ap-
plies except in special cases.
A total of 295 District men have
volunteered for induction in the
Navy, Marine Corps and Coast
Guard since the temporary plan for
accepting voluntary inductees was
announced. Draft Boards will start
sending the 10 Marine Corps volun-
teers to the marine recruiting sta
lions here tomorrow.
All nearby Draft Boards also re-
ported applications from registrants
to volunteer in the various services.
Montgomery County Draft Board
No. l at Rockville, Md, announced
five applications, all for the Navy;
Montgomery Board No. 2 at Silver
Spring held l6 for the Marine Corps,
seven for the Navy and four for the
Coast Guard; and Montgomery
Board No. at Bethesda showed five
for the Navy and one for the Marine
Corps.
Prince Georges County Draft
Board No. l at Hyattsville, Md, re-
ported 10 for the Navy, two for the
Coast Guard and two for the Ma
rines; Prince Georges Board No. 2
at Upper Marlboro had five for the
Navy and one for the Marines, and
Prince Georges Board No. 3 listed
six for the Marines.
In Virginia the Fairfax Board re-
ported six applications; Arlington
Board No. registered 10 for the
Navy, five for the Marines and two
for the Coast Guard; Arlington
Board No. 2 held eight applications;
Alexandria had nine for the Navy
and four for the Marine Corps.
