FIRE LAWS MUST (OBSERVED Land Hearers must obey state Are laws, says Hoy Woods, supervising state lire warden for Multnomah county. I'armers and others engag ed lu clearing land should acquaint t heniselves with the tire laws. Mr. Woods sa.v s t hat he Is often called to remote parts of the county to In spect a slashing the owner w ishes to burn, w hen there is no occasion for the trip. Such visits are an unnec essary waste of time and money, he says. The state tire law , In section 7, pro vides that It shall be unlawful for any person to burn slashings, brush or timber land without written per mit from a warden, between Junel and October 1. The section states further, however, that this restric tion does not apply to the burning of log piles, stumps or brush heaps in small quantities, under adequate precautions and personal control, and in accordance with anv regula tion which may be adopted by the state hoard of forestry. This part of the section Indicates that all burning Is not prohibited by law during the restricted season, and that a permit is not always required for such burning. Mr. Woods says that If those desiring to start tires will use judgment, and at J nil times continuously watch their j burnings, It will not lie necessary for them to hunt up a tire warden on every occasion. If tires escupe, the one doing the burning Is held strict ly accountable for all damage.

HOW TO SHAPE FRUIT TREES The majority of y;rwern favor the low tree, Hint Ih, with heid fornnil j from iuhteento twenty-live IncheH I from t he Kroiitnl, hiivh the pri'Mldetit 'of the Oieunn Agricultural College. , I "In ma ny chmcm int Im a pt to lime lenn , treen from Hiinhiirn where headed low and properly handled than other wine.

A third type In a comhlnatlon of tlie two,, where the leader In allowed to (row for a few yearn arid then held In check. We nhould he more Inter enfpd In the K''"'ral principal of pruning than In the ktowIiik of an exact type, tiood, otronK, heavily iH'jirlnt: tre-n can le pro lured Uy all H.VHti-mn, while on the other hand, very weak, worthlenn treen can he produced hy each. The; nor ailed open or vane tree wan Introduced from California, where they were ol'Md((ed to head the treen low and I Hhearthe topn to protect from the nun. In the pacific North went, ana rule, we do not shear the tops of the frees, hut ntlll try to enrotirnjfp the , open trees. Many people have made a mlntake In thluklut; thatnnhort trunk ineann a low head. Thin has little to do with the head '.if the tree u nice one prin t Ices proper pruning the flrnt five yearn of the tree'n life rand tl way k'V(I the tree plenty of room fur lateral development. Con cerning the open versus the center tree, both will lie lined according to the type of tree we are growing. I'mlouhtedly all varieties that tend to grow large and rangy should he grown an open treen, whllemany varieties like the Yellow Xewtowu. for example, which often make a weak, scraggly growth, can tie made stronger and larger, and lie made to produce more hy growing a leader for a nil in tier of yearn at leant. Those who are lining the open tree need to modify It cotmlderahly lu the major Ity of canen. They are allowing inont of the main brunches to Innue from tlie name point, with a result ing weak tree which breaks hudly and In often short lived. Mead from eighteen to twenty-five lnchet; some prefer to head at twen ty five luchen to get better dlntrihu tlon of bra nehen. Thin can he done and ntlll keep tlie head an low an the average tree that In headed an low an eighteen Ini hen. The tree should he studied very closely during tlie tlrnt growing neanon: some hndn will need to lie rubbed off, othern pinched hack, tlie aim being to grow a well balanced tree, with an much space an possible betweeti the branches. The branches will never grow any farther apart than the dlntance at which they are started, and In fact never get higher from the ground. If one leaven treen alone during the entire grow lug neanon the chances are he will tlnd all the hranchen growing near the cut and a weak tree will he tlie result. At the end of the flrnt year leave from three to five hranchen and head back, under average coudltlonn, to ituhn ten to twelve luchen lu length. Ite move all lateraln other than these. 1 would not advtne heading doner than thin, an It would tend to throw future lateraln too clone together. At the eucl of the second year you will find that each of these hranchen will have produced from one to a ih urn or more lateraln. I would ad vise chin. slug two of the tient located and removing tlie rent, heading these buck to ntubn ten or fifteen luchen In length and either removing the re maining laterals or cut back some of these to two or three budn.

The Kewanee System of Water Supply To the Prospective Customer We have no patent on the English language and the words which we use in describing Kewanee machinery may be used by anyone. It is easy for a manufacturer to make extravagant , claims, but very hard for the average man to determine whether these claims are based on absolute facts. Kewanee Machinery IS in a Class by Itself The man who sees a Kewanee machine running side by side with the average machine used for the same purpose, can see this. But even an expert, in machinery cannot appreciate its full value until he has seen it work day after day and year after year. Every Kewanee System has been watched by technically trained engineers whose sole business has been to find out its strong and weak points ; and out of this has come the Kewanee line of machinery, based on a wider experience, with a more expert organization than anyone else has ever had in this line. No one with less experience can appreciate the full value of the improvements in design and construction. We invite your confidence also because we will treat you fairly ; because anything you buy from us must be right or we will make it right ; because your 5000 satisfied customers is YOUR assurance of satisfactory results. If you are an expert, investigate the Kewanee System. If you are not an expert, investigate us. (Gilbert I: mpwnt Company
