The 74th Annual Farmers Con-
vention of Sandy Spring, Md, which
meets Saturday will pledge itself
anew as an institute for the practical
application of agricultural science
and the advancement Of rural life.
Members of three farm clubs and
their friends will attend.
Although its founders have long
ago passed on, the inheritors of the
rural tradition continue the hos
pitality for which the originators of
the convention were famous. This
well-known gathering Of farmers has
missed only one session since its
beginning in 1872.
The idea of having farm clubs
convention was suggested by William
Henry Farquhar in his annual his
tory of Sandy Spring and vicinity at
the Lyceum. From early minutes
we read:
Statistical information being the
only source Of exact knowledge and
it being desirable to know what real
improvement is made from year to
year, the clubs are requested to
present at each annual convention
a statement of the farm products
raised by the members.
The first annual convention of
the Farmers Clubs of Montgomery
County took place at the Sandy
Spring Lyceum January ID. 1878.
There was a fair attendance of
farmers representing five clubs be-
sides many welcome visitors. Henry
c. Hallowell was in the chair"
Presentday complaints of high
prices for farm equipment is re-
fiected from q heated discussion in
this first convention. One farmer
claimed that they were paying so
per cent more for farm machinery
than the cost of manufacture and
argued that, in self-defense, I'VE
would have to 60 back to cradles
and scythes."
This empty threat never material
lied and farmers in this section
have steadily improved their tools
from scythe and cradle through the
REAPER, binder and pickup baler."
to that almost universal harvester,
the combine. Farmers somehow
keep abreast of the times despite
long hours and high operation costs.
That first resolution proved to be a
highly instructive and interesting
feature of a long list Of conventions
and is still adhered to by the clubs
in their statistical recordings of
crop prices and unusual farm expe-
riences.
The mutual exchange of farm
practices and the results of expert
ments Is no doubt the main reason
for the long life of these clubs and
of the convention itself. 1t has been
customary since the first for each
club to appoint a committee to meet
the others in joint session to prepare
the agenda and speakers for the an
nual meeting.
This body also appoints Ladies
Committee composed of some of the
wives of the members, who prepare
and serve the fine luncheon that is
such substantial part of each con-
vention.

Probably there is no practice con-
nected with the growing of plants,
especially fruit trees, that Is more
misunderstood or misused than is
pruning.
Throughout horticultural writings,
from early times, pruning has been
q victim of theory and opinion. In
the last 80 years experimental work
has brought to light a lot of inter
teresting things about pruning
methods and about tree behavior.
This work has proved that 1t is
desirable to prune young trees
lightly after first giving them a
rather heavy cutting at planting
time.
The necessity of light pruning is
easily understood If one remembers
that leaves are the digestive organs
of the ulant. The more leaf sur
face. the more food it manufac-
lures, and consequently, the more
growth. This is desirable in a
young tree.
The pruning of young tree
should be sufficiently heavy to select
the branches that will form the fu-
ture framework of the tree. Avoid
the temptation to cut out all the
small spurs and shoots. OF course,
tax, out any wood that is weak,
broken or diseased, or that is crowd
Ing or shading other parts of the
tree. If in doubt about the future
position of limb, pull it down as
it might bend under a heavy load
of fruit
If still in doubt, leave the shoot
or branch until next year and de-
eide then.
In shaping young trees, observe
the side branches growing out from
the trunk. They may tend to form
close-angled crotches which will al
ways be weak. 1t is better to re-
move such branches while they are
still small Avoid the urge to head
back the tops of young trees. They
will grow straight up, but when they
