Pruning Suggestions The tendency of the treen Ih to grow from the uppermost buds, so If It Ih desirable to keep the trees low, the new growth should be headed back each year. Kvery kind and every variety has a characteristic growth; the style of pruning, therefore, must conform to the habit of the tree. Summer pruning tends to Increase the root growth and winter pruning the wood growth. Other considerations to be ob served in pruning mature trees are as follows: Care should be taken when remov ing limbs that they are removed close to the branch from which they spring, leaving no stub. If largtM llmliH are removed the raw surface should be painted with a good white leail paint. The most common error Ih leaving too much brush on the trees. A tree, In winter, may seem well opened up, but will appear very different when It Is li foliage. Cash to Loan We have cash to loan upon Im proved ranch property. Hood Kivku Banking & Thi'ht Co.

At thin time all who an jlnterested In the building of good roads will lie given an oppor tunity to unite In the several districts and accomplish the work which may lie most urgent. The day was observed here last year with considerable success, espe cially In those districts where the citizens co-operated In the matter. Koad supervisors and their crews were reinforced and the day's work was put In on the enpwlal road or roadH which stood In greatest need of repair. As the road fund Is small er this year, It Is more desirable that the day should be generally observed, so the memU-rs of the county court state, and they hope for a general re spouse.
