Kilhain) The subject of pruning is now, or soon will be. interesting a goodly number of growers In and around Newberg. The subject is not a new one by any means and we realise that the majority of men who grow here un derstand the art of pruning thor oughly. There are, however, (as we Learn from going about) quit« a number of newcomers here and there who are not versed in the art. Nor do they know anything about the science underlying the art. For any such, and for any "old hands" who desire to know more than they do about the science back' of this all-important practice, we recommend a book called "The Prin ciples and Practice of Pruning,” hy M. G. Kains. publishers Orange Judd company. This book may be had through the local Rexall drug store we know, and perhaps other drug stores would be willing to get It; or it may be had by sending direct to the J. Kv Gill Co.. Portland. Oregon. The table of contents Is made up of the following chapters I. Introduction. ir. Plant physiology as related to pruning. III. The philosophy of pruning. IV. Buds. V. Pruning principles. VI. How wounds heal. VII. Prevention and repair of me chanical lnjuriea. VIII. Dressing for wounds. IX. Pruning nursery stock. X. Pruning young trees. XI. Pruning mature trees. XII. Care of top-worked trees. XIII. Bush fruit pruning. XIV. Grape pruning and training. XV. Pruning ornamental trees and shrubs. XVI. Dwarf tree pruning and training. XVII. Odd methods of pruning and training. XVIII. Practical tree surgery. XIX. Rejuvenation of neglected trees.

"There is an Intense struggle for existence among all organisms. The world is now full, and there can probably be no permanent .increase In th e- sum total of animals and plants. If one species increases, another must decrease. Changes in the numbers of individuals are, therefore, largely matters of read justment between different types. Each kind is held down to a certain equilibrium in relation to other kinds. It is easy to see that any species of animal or plant could completely occupy the surface of the globe, if it could multiply to the full extent of its powers. Not only do some species compete with others, but the individuals of the same, species compete with each other for stand ing room. The greater number of thistles in a given field, the less is the opportunity for another thistle plant to gain a foothold. Now, a tree is essentially a col lection or colony of individual plants. Every branch, even every joint of the branch, is endeavoring to do what every other branch does, to bear leaves, flowers and seeds. Every branch competes with every other branch; and there are more germs of branches— that is. more buds— than there can be branches upon any tree. So it comes that no two branches of a tree are exactly alike, but are what their position or condition makes them to be. Some are strong and some are week. That is. there is no definite or proper size or shape for any branch, as there is for the various parts of an animal Or a flower. The limbs and organs of an animal are not competitors but co-partners, each performing some function or office which another does not, and they all obtain a defi nite maturity of size and shape. But a branch never attains Its full size until It ceases to grow and thereby begins to die. Branches are not or gans but competing individuals. "If all these statements are true, then three conclusions follow: (a) there is a struggle for existence among the branches of a tree, and some of the contestants perish; (b ), the destruction of these branches must conduce to the betterment of the remaining ones; (c ). all the branches o f a tree are not necessary to it, but some of them may be a detriment to It. In other words, pruning ts a necessity." . We loaned this book last year to a number of local growers, and with out exception they thought It the best ever. If you' prune, it will certainly pay you many times over to have this book close at hand for refer ence, and perhaps study. ---------- o----- ■— James A.

Never before has the entire state been so thoroughly organized for a large and successful sale as it has this year. Not only have some of the enthusiastic agents been "racin' to go” for the past sev eral weeks, but some of them have already gone and a few actually sent In re-orders before the date set for the opening of the sale. The little Christmas stickers for use on holiday packages and letters sell for a penny a piece and not only help dress up the season's greetings but furnish a fund through which that moat dreaded of all diseases, tuberculosis, is fought by legislative, educational, preventive and relief measures. Through systematic and scientific work along lines of health education tuberculosis has been de creased forty per cent in the past sixteen years and it is to aid in fur ther wiping out the disease that the seals are offered once each year. In endorsing the seal sale. Pres ident Harding recently said: “ I am glad to note the splendid success of the campaign against tuberculosis, as shown by the decline in the death rate in 1920, to the remarkably low level of 114 per 100,000. The enor mous saving of life reflected by these figures clearly Indicates the success of the work of the national tubercu losis association and its affiliated organizations.. "As honorary vice-president of the association, my earnest hope is that the coming fourteenth annual seal sale may be completely successful, in order that the splendid work may be | further developed. I trust there will be a generous response to the appeal.” Clackamas county first ordered $1900 worth of seals and has already ordered an additional $200 worth, so great has been the demand for the little stickers.. Mrs. Mary R. Cau- fleld is chairman of the sale in that county. Mrs. Collins Elkins, who is hand ling Crook county, reported several days ago that she had sold $65.00 worth of seals. Miss Ella Cochran of Canyon City, had the distinction of sending In the first final returns. She sold her seals before the sale actually opened In other parts of the state and has sent in her check. Mrs. Eugene Hayter is chairman for Dallas. Her first order was for $200 j worth of seals and already she has | ordered an additional $100 worth, j Mr. Hayter, vice-president of the{ Dallas National bank, has written the tuberculosis association the fol lowing letter: “ Last year this bank put up a good picture as a prize tn the grade school selling the greatest number of seals, and the little folks simply worked their heads off for that picture.
