There are three reasons for pi nu
ll )K ornamental or simile trees. These
icasona art to promote vliior and
heallhfulneas, to control form of the
tree, and to modify flowering. Ac
complishment nl the enda Kcitcr
ally requires Iraa priiiilim than la
usually suppuaed and much less than
la generally rarrlrd out. Prunlni
lionld only be done after carrful
analy.ila of each tree, kerpliiK the
sbove factnra III mind. It la better
not to prune at all than to prune
without a reasonably good Idea of
(lit reaulU desired. There la a great
tendem-y to prima without thought
to appearance, growth and thrift of
the tree, rlevere cutting la sckltini
required but treea should lie ob
served frefiueiitly to make ure thnt
needed pruning la done at the proper
tune.

aU cniMiiita of the removal of dead

resulted either from the breaking of
llmba or from Improperly made cut
In previous primings and the re
moval of crossing. Interfering
branrhea and removing the Up to
uffsrt root Injury due to transplant
ing or other causes. Dead, dying jind
broken branchea should always be
removed, the sooner the better. Much
removal aula early healing of the
wound, thus reducing the danger
or In the case or shrubs, buck even
to the root, although live wood may
be removed. All atuln should be
promptly removed. Cross branches
or llmba that grow parallel with
each other should be removed early.
Narrow crotches are especially un
desirable when the brandies are
growing upright. They should be
taken out when the trees are young.
The reason for this Is that such
crotches split very easily.
Vigor Increased
Vigor of plants la often Increased
by reducing lop growth to ability of
the roots to supply necessary plant
food esiieclally moisture. This should
be done particularly with newly
planted treea and shrubs and may
be beneficial when plants are not
growing as they should, although
provided with sufficient food and
moisture. A balanced pruning may
be undertaken whenever the root
system has been mutilated or dis
turbed. This Is particularly true of
plants that have been dug from the
wild, as generally a large part of the
root system la cut off.
Pruning to promote vigor, how
ever, should hot be confused or used
as an excuse for pruning severely
where lark of vigor Is not evident or
root destruction has hot been done.
Many eople prune treea because
of a desire U cut severely. MnnV
trees are ruined by tills method due
to Improiier cutting of tops and
limbs thereby causing weaknesses
and Insect Injury and In addition
completely spoiling the appearance
of the tree. A tree after all la sup
posed to be thing of beauty and
balance rather than a stump with
a tew mlscellaneoua sprouts grow
ing on the side.
Natural form
Pruning tor form requires that
the tree be kept as near lla natural

A boy and Ilia dog contemplate the cool water trickling over Malone dam on Lost river In Langell
valley. This dam, built by the V. H. bureau of reclamation In 1923, is 32 feet high, SIS feet lonr and la
used to raise the water In Lost river which la supplied from (Tear Lske reservoir, and to divert It to
the west canal for Irrigating farm lands west of Langell valley.

may cause. In removing dead
branches the best method is to cut
back to the nearest living crotch
that liilurloui decay or organisms I form and condition as possible. Pre
quently cutting or snearing causes
many different shapes and forms
tuuiatural to treea and Is not in
keeping with the true shape of the
tree In question. In pruning to Im
prove appearance, it should be kept
constantly In mind that the natural
form of the plant Is the most at
tractive. Often trees need some help
to maintain this form such as the
removal of lower branchea. cross
branches and certain branches that
may be running wild, causing local
deformities.
Any attempt to reform the plant
or tree generally Is not satisfactory
and a monstrosity usually results.
Any such tree might better be re
moved completely. In planting young
treea It Is well to keep In mind the
future form of the tree and trim
accordingly. Many young treea are
ruined by Improiier pruning and
prevented from ever attaining their
natural shaiie. Decay organisms are
reduced considerably by painting cut
surface of the wound.
(toad Job
A good pruning Job l the Siberian
elm on the north aide of the post
office building. This tree was In the
habit of forming narrow crotches
and consequent splitting and break
ing of limbs. The present plan of
trimming was outlined by H. B.
Ilayden. then manager of the Klam
ath project. U. 8. bureau of recla
mation, and carried out by post of
fice employes. Tills tree retains Ita
tree-like form and at the ssme time
will not split and break as readily
as It did before proper pruning waa
done.
Unless there la a definite reason
for pruning an ornamental tree, It
Is best not to prune at all. Par more
damage has been done to the beau
ty of ornamental treea In Klamath
Palls by pruning than any good ever
accomplished.
Soil Survey
Finished Here
A heavy Work load lies ahead In
soil conservation work. Kenneth W.
Dahl. conservationist, told the Poe
valley district board of supervisors
at a meeting held In the county
agent a office last week.
!ehl reviewed accompllshmeuta of
the district, showing completion of
a soil survey of the entire area, for
which a rrirt I being prepared
now. The aurvey shows soil types,
slope, degree of erosion, present land
use and arras where alkali presents
a problem. Bolls Information Is used

Borne progress has already been
made in the comlrtirtlou of drains,

ittstrlrt, "'(' Topographic sur
v.fi for land leveling are now being

Initiated after harvest.
K. Lalon Htephens, project en
gineer ot the bureau of reclamation,
reported on the pronoscd relocation
of the Lost river channel and the
beneficial effects which could be ex
pected. This proosed development is
a part of a larger Job Invalvln
channel Improvement In Langell
valley, together with construction of
Boundary dam and enlargement of
the diversion ranal.
Plana were laid at the meetlmr for
operations for the remainder of the
year. V. O. Brown waa re-elected

The dog tick that spreads the
Kocky mountain spotted fever Is an
other of the many pests for which
OUT la proving a practical and In
expensive control. Tills is good news
for mothers who have worried over
Hie possibility of tlcka attaching to
children even when they were play
ing safely In the back yard or on
the school or community playground.
A light dusting with 10 per cent
DDT powder at the rate ol one
ounce to 1000 square feet of area
covered with grass, weeds or shrubs,
la recommended by the U. 8. de
partment of agriculture as a simple
and effective way of killing the ticks.
One dusting will usually protect for
the tick season.
The light dusting, aaya Dr. E. F.
Knlpllng of the bureau of entomolo
gy and plant quarantine, will not be
dangerous to children and pet. It
will make safer the plav areas where
children should be protected as well
as Kslble during the tick season.
In town and In rural area such
a dusting, or spraying with a DDT
prav. along the edars of psths and
roadways, also reduces the tick
hnmrd. Bureau studies of the habits
of the ticks show that the pet tend
to crawl toward paths and road
wavs. prolwblv attracted bv the scent
of plowing animals, Including human
beings. A DDT treatment for a few
feet on each side of a path or road
will kill the ticks that have con
centrated there and the long time
effoct of DDT treatment Is waiting
for tick that crawl into the treated
xone later.
Rocky mountain spotted fever Is a
disease that rightly causes concern
to mothers. Many systematically
ioiiow the advice ol the entomolo
I gist to look over the children care-
luuy peiore oca time to make sure of
removing tick picked up during the
day. A tick does not ordinarily trans
mit the disease until It ha been at
tached for several hours, but over
night attachment allows ample time
If the tick is carrying the disease.
The entomologist caution persons
handling ticks, because they may get
the disease In this manner. Just pick
the ticks off with tweexers. and
avoid crushing them on the skin.
