By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington. Feb. 2-(UP)-With black patch Slung over his left eye, Senate Majority Leader Alben w. Barkley looked like a benign pirate in double-breaSted suit.
 His job was to keep the brethren from tossing out Henry R. Wallace as secretary of commerce. with or without the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Sen. Josiah w. Bailey of North Carolina. one Of the anti Wallace leaders. eyed him Sus- piciously.
 Barkley said all he wanted was 10 pay tribute to the Senate'S late Secretary Edwin Halsey. Bailey re- faxed. So did tie senate. the stan dces in the galleries. the vice. president. and Othman.
 This was a mistake. Boy!

To modify the vigOr OF the

2 To keep the tree shapely and
within bounds.
3 To make the tree stOckier.
4 To open the tree top to admit
air and sunshine.
S To reduce the struggle Tor
existence in the tree top.
6 To remove dead and interfer-
ing branches.
Z To aid in the development OF
the fruit buds.
s To secure good distribution
Of fruit buds throughout the
tree.
8 To thin the fruit.
10 To induce uniformity in the
ripening of the fruit.
IL To make thorough spraying
possible.
IL To facilitate the harvesting
of the fruit.
The pruning a tree receives
during the first two or three
years after it is planted has
much to do with it's future. Mis-
takes in forming the head or the
results of negligence during the
early years of the life of a tree
are particularly irreparable. On
the other hand, if the tree is
well formed and properly pruned
during its first years the foun-
dation of good tree is estab-
lished.
