Ferd Groner spoke on the sub
ject of "Pruning the Walnut Tree,"
as follows: .
"Many thinkf that the walnut tree
does not need pruning but this Is a
mistake. While it does not need as
much thinning as do ' apples and
some other fruit trees, it needs to
be shaped and pruned . to get the
best results.
"We will start with the tree be
fore it is planted. All the broken
and bruised roots should be removed
j and all the ends of roots should be
cut back to good green wood with a
sharp knife. This will enable the
callous to form better where most
of ' the roots start. If these ends
are not cut off the dead and bruised
wood seriously Interferes with the
starting of the rootlets which makes
the growth and vigor of the tree.
Cut off the top at about 30 Inches
hieh. The reason for this is that
you can seldom start a satisfactory
head from the original top. The
buds that start out near the ground
first are the most vijorous ones.
Drive a stake as close to the tree as
possible, after the buds have
started; rubbing them all off but
two or three. After they have grown
three or four inches take off all bnt
one and train it up the stake which
should be strong enough to hold the
tree erect for threo or four years.
'Do not head the tree back dur
ing the growing, season unless It is
absolutely necessary to keep It from
breaking off. If you do, it will
throw out a lot of sucker sprouts.
These should be cut off as close as
possible as they all have a poor
union and will almost invariably
break or split off. Any shoot that
Btarts from growth of the same sea
son will never make a satisfactory
branch and should be removed dur
ing the dormant period so the new'
branches will start the next season
"The height a walnut tree should
be headed has been a much argued
Question. As walnuts ao not picked
but fall or are shaken down, I see
no need for heading the tree low.
They should be high enough so the
branches will not interfere with cul
tivation. ' Some advocate starting
the branches at about three or four
feet from the ground and training
them upward for two or three feet
more before they are allowed to
spread. This requires considerable
labor in tying the branches in the
position desired and keeping them in
position for two seasons at least. By
beading at from five to six feet the
branches can be left to take their
natural tendency. With a little care
leaving'" only branches that have
sood unions, from three to five in

Where trees are making a rapid
growth I would advise letting two
or three branches grow along the
trunk below those intended for the
head; these will have a tendency to
increase the siie of the lower part
of the trunk and absorb-part of the
growth that would otherwise go Into
the top branches causing them to
grow too rapid and droop. Care must
be exercised in this work in regard
to how many branches should be
left. In heading about 600 young
trees last summer this rule was fol
lowed: The first time over, about
June 1st, about three to five
branches were left: 'a month later
some of these were removed if the
toj was not making gtowth enough,
again about August 1 others were
removed where the growth showed
any weakness. On the last two trips
about 75 per cent of the number flirt
left were removed. Had the season
not been so xlry it would not have
been necessary to remove so many
branches. All of the remaining
blanches should be cut oft during
the dormant season. The branches
that are to form the future top
should be cut back to about 30
inches.
'Last season, during the walnut
tour, a study of the center leader
tree was made by several growers.
The conclusion reached in general
was that this type la very good if not
the best for a walnut tree. Last sea
son I trained several hundred young
trees with a single shoot up to eight
or 12 feet. It la my purpose to train
these Into center leader trees having
two -or three sets of from three to
four branches, one above the other
Instead of one set. These should be
headed a little higher as the lower
jet cf branches will grow out more
nearly) horizontal when there are
more branches above them, making
very much stronger unions than
when the branches come out at
sharper angles. It may be, necessary
to nail an extension on the stake to
support the top tLe first season. Thb
type of tree requires some extra la
bor, but is by far the strongest
when once established.
"Sharp angle forks should always
be avoided in the structure of the
walnut tree and these forks should
be cut out at almost any cost in
shaping the tree, as sooner or later
they will surely split down and may
cause the loss of the whole tree; but
if these forks are found on treegtoo
large to remove one branch without
much damage they can be greatly
strengthened by boring a five-sixteenths
or 1 three-eighths inch hole
through both branches above the
fork and inserting a piece of soft
steel or Iron the same size a little
longer than the distance between the
outside of the two limbs. The ends
should protrude about an Inch and
with a little 'care can be clinched
down without doing much damage
These will groWDver and ' greatly
atrengUen the fork. In larger trees
heavier, bolts can be used. Walnut
trees are much more likely to de
velop weak forks than frnlt trees.
and require the greatest care up to
four or five years old. The next five
years very little care will be needed,
but from about the 10th year some

pruning should be done to open
op the tree to let In more light and
glre better air circulation as well as
to dispose of surplus wood. Manr
orchards in the Northwest hare
reached a stage where they hare
ceased to bear good crops of nuts
owing to crowding and lack of prun
ing. "Walnuts do not need pruning
erery year like fruit trees but they
need some pruning as they grow old
er. Many trees grow smaller nuts
if left to grow their own way as
they grow older or begin to crowd.
It was plainly evident In some of the
older orchards last season that the
lack of proper pruning caused their
owners a loss of several thousand
dollars. In California for sereral
seasons past a regular system of
pruning has been practiced. No
doubt this practice will soon be
taken up here as the orchards grow
older. The walnut has no character
istics of the ordinary fruit tree and
needs a system of training and prun
ing all its own."

FA&I1IOX NOTES.
Simplicity in arks the lines in
spring styles. Beauty of fabric and
a profusion of self-embroidery, or
designs in braid are depended upon
to give the rich effect desired.
Colors most in faror for spring
suits are reindeer, nayy, fawn or
white.
Jersey suits are more popular than
ever, and may be seen In the darker
colors as well French blue, walnut,
nary or beige.
The box coat Is again in great
favor; most of such coats fasten only
at the collar, being worn with a tie
or a fancy buckle or pin at the
throat, hanging open, and entirely
without fasteners below.
Skirts are straight and narrow,
measuring from IV to 1 V4 'yards In
width at the lower edge. Skirts are
to be worn longer, the accepted
length being to the ankles, and on no
account above the shoe-tops. The
rule being that no hosiery is visible.
This Is of course for the new clothes.
Short skirts will not become taboo
for most women for another season
for those on hand must be worn out
and short skirts cannot be made Into
long ones so easily as the long skirts
were shortened a few years ago.
Serge, gaberdine or Jersey doth,
or light weight velours are favorite
fabrics for street wear, while poplin.
crepv ae cnine. messaitne, crepe
meteor and satin are most used for
dressy wear. A combination of satin
and serge or satin combined with
either a heavier or a lighter weight
material gives good effect. Many
colorless models in gowns are seen.
