Tree Pruning
Demonstrated
By MILDRED KELSO

THE 1852 FRUIT season was
opened in Lake. County by March
pruning demonstration at the Ed
Carpenter orchard near Poison.
The demonstration was directed
by E. E. Isaac, state extension hor-
ticulturist He was assisted by Henry
K. Botch, Lake county extension
agent.
Proper methods Of pruning both
old and young apple trees were
demonstrated by Isaac. Some time.
was also given to pruning methods
for both sweet and sour cherries.
Proper shaping of young fruit
trees is important, Isaac said, and
should begin in the second year of
their growth. He recommended the
development of four well-spaced
scaffold limbs to provide the frame
work of the tree. Too many branches
should not stem from a common
point, he said.
The horticulturist also advocated

year rather than extremely heavy
pruning in any one year. Heavy
pruning tends to throw a fruit tree
into vegetative growth and reduce
production the following season, he
explained.
Close cuts should be made with
.out leaving stub or shoulder, =
Isaac said. Large cuts over one-inch
in diameter should be allowed to
dry for about 10 days, and then
should be treated with disinfectant
tree paint. He said that white lead
might also be used for this purpose,
but was not as good as tree paint.
In pruning old apple trees, Isaac
advised that limbs be removed back
to the crotches. Looping Off of
large limbs will result in heavy
sucker growth, he said. Low, droop-
ing branches on fruit trees should
also be removed, he said.
Young fruit trees should not be

THE ORGANIC ACT COMMITTEE

THE ORGANIC ACT COMMITTEE
THE HONORABLE Omar Brown. and his organic AL
Committee are doing up to this point, j fine Job. Conscious
Of the highly important nature Of the hearings to be conduct
ed il the Islands beginning January 18th, this Committee
early got down 70 work, and made detailed plans. AT Wednes
day nights meeting each person was supplied with a mimeo-
graPhed sheet clearly showing proposals Of the M~urdocks
bill and the Peoples bill. With this done, the hearings should
move along smoothly 50 the members of the Congressional
Committee viii find matters under control and ready as they
arrive.
SIGNIFICANT IN the work Of this committee is the
tWofold plan to conduct these group meetings with repres-
entatives Of organizations, and to meet the people in Fred
eriksted, Christiansteds and st. Thomas on successive even
ings, Such plan is intended, and should (all things going
we'll provide complete coverage for every segment Of these
Islands. Every ciizen-man5 woman and child-should make
il his duty To attend these mass meetings.
TT HAS ZEN said, and rightly, that the Organic Act
is most important to these Islands. The new act will give us
a form Of government, our constitution, and will determine
which way we shall go from this point. It is for this reason
that a committee is heading here to get frst-hand informa-
ton, and will do this through public hearings where natives
may express their views for the mutual benefit of the com
mittee and the Islands as a whole. Those who testify should
fortifys themselves with all the information necessary to-
make a good showing, and above all there should be q una
nimhy Of purpose which is mmistakabIe to the committee
men from Washington.
CHAIRMAN BROWN, members Hodge, Rohlsen, OF

good Job have added responsibility Of seeing that i is car
