C228 —TT—T PRUNING BEARING APPLETREES Pruning is a practice that modi fies -the forip of the tree, regulates the yield ot fruit and next to spray ing js one of the most important op erations affecting the quality of fruit. In many orchards in this county good pruning methods are followed but in others there is need for more attention to this valuable practice. The following hints deal with the actual operation of pruning and should prove helpful to those with limited experience, 1. Cut out broken, dead or diseas ed branches. 2. When two branches closely parallel or overhang each other, re move the least desirable, taking in to account horizontal and vertical spacing. 3. Prune on the horizontal plane, that is to say, leave those laterals on the main branches that grow hori zontally or nearly so and remove those that hang down or grow upward. This cannot always )ie done but where possible it should be fol lowed. 4. All varieties should be thinned' out just enough to permit of thor ough spraying, and the entrance of sunlight and air. Close-topped va rieties such as Spy and Transparent will require somewhat more thin ning than the more open varieties. 5. Where it is desired to reduce the height of tall trees, cut out the leader branches back moderately, to a horizontal lateral if possible. 6. Varieties which tend to pro duce numerous twiggy, lateral grow ths should have some of these re moved to prevent overcrowding. 7. Make' close, clean cuts. Stubs are unsightly and often decay, thus forming a source of injury to the parent branch or trunk. 8. Prune moderately. Very heavy pruning is likely to upset the balance between wood .growth and fruitful ness, and generally should be avoid ed. 9. Prune regularly. Trees which are given some attention each spring are more easily kept in good condi tion than trees that are pruned ir regularly. 10. Distribute the pruning through out the tree. This is particularly important with old trees. New growth will be stimulated only in those parts of the tree were pruning has been given. 11. Do not remove a branch unless there is. a very good reason for do ing so. It should not be forgotten that the leaves of a tree are the food manufacturing organs, and if the leaf area is reduced unnecessar ily the trees will be injured in grow th or fruitfulness oi* both. 12. Pruning may be done any time in the late winter or early spring months and should preferably be completed before the time of the first spray.

Hawkins, Exeter PURL Ur Al IVI varnishes In .the Orillia news of recent date there was a very interesting brief biographies of prominent citizens, conspicious among them is that ot Ernest Edwin Steacy, a son of Mr. John Steacy, of Ilensall, accompan ied a striking photo, and the follow ing sketch will prove very interest ing to the many relatives and friends of Ernie, as he was familiarly known as a boy in our village, and Hensall has certainly reason to feel proud of the fine success and distinction he has made. He is one of the many Hensall boys who has achieved suc cess and brought credit to the Hen sail town. The biography reads as follows; “One of Orillia’s best known and popular young business men is Mr. Ernest E. Steacy, the head of one of Orillia’s largest dry goods es tablishments. Mr. Steacy was born at Hensall, Huron County, in 1890, the son of John and Margaret Steacy of that town. He received his edu cation in the public school of that town and afterwards at the Colleg iate Institute in Clinton. After leaving school he enteed a dry goods store in his native village, then with a view of widening his experience he went to Clinton and afterwards to Saskatoon, Sask. After a little more than a year in the West lie re turned to Ontario, working at first at Huntsville, then at Port Carling, and coming to Orillia in 1912, where he entered the employ of Kane & Kane, in the dry goods and silks sec tion of the store conducted by the firm. When the call to arms sound ed and the young manhood of Cana da rallied to the colors, Orillia fur nished a large quota, among them Ernest Steacy, who enlisted in Janu ary 1916, with the 157th Simcoe Foresters, being later transferred to the 116tli battalion, commanded by Col. Sam. Sharpe, M. P., with which unit he served in France until the end of the war, returning to Cana da in March, 1919. In 1921 Mr. Steacy launched into business for himself in the Quinn block, special izing in ladies’ wear and silks, and his enterprise has been more than justified by the large patronage ac corded him. “Steacy’s” is now a sy nonym for the latest word in ladies* fashionable attire. Notwithstanding his close attention to business, Mr. Steacy has given generously of his time and talents to community work, serving on the Council and commer cial committee of the Board of Trade and identifying himself with every movement calculated to advance the interests of the town in which he takes so strong a pride. One of his greatest hobbies is music, and for it he has sacrificed much time and la bor. Beginning as a bandsman some time before going overseas, under the tuition of Mr. John Mitchell, he resumed band work after ‘returning to Orillia at the close of the war. Be ing descended from a long line of dour Highlanders, it was but natur al that lie cherished the ambition to see the band arrayed in kilts and sporran, and lie lived to see this ambition realized. When the big drive was made in 1926 to raise funds to purchase the new uniforms, Mr. Steacy spent many days in plan ning the method of campaign. That was one of tlie years lie served as president of tlie band, and it was largely due to liis initative and can- stant work that tlie various commit tees succeeded in “going over the top” with close on to $3,000 to equip the band with their new uniforms. And we all know how the band boys justified our efforts in their behalf by going down to the Canadian Na tional Exhibiliion at Toronto a few weeks later and carrying off first prize against some of tlie finest bands in Canada. It is a well-known fact that a bachelor, even though lie possess a modicum of good looks, does not long survive the shafts of Dan Cupid in Orillia, so it was inev itable that Ernest Steacy succumb in time and choose la bride. He was married to Annie Marie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Overend, and is the proud father of two bright little girls, Margaret Jean and Rose Marie. To Margaret was accorded tlie honor of being one of the little girls chos en, as representing the oldest pioneer families in Orillia, to light the bea con fire on tlie height to the west of the town oil the eve of Domnion Day 1927. She was 'the fifth descent from tlie late Capt. Kyle, one of tlie firs.t settlers in wliat is now Orillia. Mr. Steacy is a Presbyterian, a mem ber of the Masonic Order, and a Con servative.” ROGERS batteryless RADIO NOW—You can satisfy your desire for a ROGERS! Probably no radio has ever created a keener desire for possession than the Rogers- Batteryless. Heretofore price has been an obstacle to many, but now the new, low price-level has brought the Rogers within reach of every family. The famous Rogers “Two- Twenty” Model, shown above with the Junior Symphony Speaker, is the standard by which all “electric” Stets are judged and .has Proven itself by actual per formance for over two years. You can buy this complete, year ’round radio outfit now at a clear saving of $55 over the former price. Or you can buy the set alone for $225 — no more than you would pay for any good daftery-operated set. Radio is no longer confined to any season—wonderful programs will be broadcasted all next summer.
