PRUNING OF THE APPLE
ORCHARD
The foliage of a tree is the, manu-
facturing centre where food materials
from the soil combine with those
from the air to form the tissue build-
ing materials. The Larger the active
leaf area therefore the better the
growth. Definite experiments cover-
ing four years in Virginia indicate an
average increase of trunk growth of
1.9,3 inches on lightly pruned trees,
169 inches on moderately pruned
trees and 1.61 on heavily pruned
trees. In other words the greatest
'growth will result where no pruning'
is practiced. Pruning is necessary,
however, to direct the growth so that
an evenly balanced strong tree may
be formed and surplus and undesir-
able branches not allowed to develop.
The directing of the growth during
the early years of the tree is of par-
ticular importance. The ideal tree is
probably that which has the first
branches about twenty-four inches
from the ground and five or sixe
branches which form the frame of
the tree spaced evenly as far apart
as possible. Particularly desirable is
it to remove the next to the last top
branch which if left will form a
weak top because of the forked
crotch formed with the top limb.
Heading back at planting time is
necessary to balance the loss from
cut of roots because of digging.
Tests made at Kentvdlle show a
growth of 4.82 inches the first year-
end
earand twenty inches the second year
where newly, planted trees had three-
quarters of their growth removed,
whereas 5 : !xr trees not headed back
made a growth of one inch in the
first year and 2.4 inches the second
year.
Strong growing branches should be
suppressed by heading back and weak
branches not pruned at all. If the
whole tree is weak a severe heading
back in the spring will throw great-
. er vigor into the remaining buds and
thus bring about a more vigorous de-
velopment. But if there are weak
branches on one side of a tree and
strong ones on the other the reduc-
tion of leaf area on the weak branches
will tend to further weaken these
branches because of the strongest
sea flow toward the greatest foliage
area, obviously therefore a reductio[:
of foliage area on the strong
branches will lessen this tendency
and throw more growth toward the
weaker branches.
The central branch would be allow-
ed to nl'aintain the lead, this, however
not for the purpose of forming a
pyramidal tree with a central leader
but so that from it several well spac-
ed scaffold limbs may be developed
thus forming a more desirable type
of tree than if scaffold branches are
developed on side limbs only. After
the tendency is toward a pyramidal
form with central leader extending
high into the air having many
branches radiating from it this
should be checked, thus forming a
tree combining the desirable features
of the pyramidal form and eliminat-
ing the undesirable open centre form
of tree.
To balance the .tree the heading
back of strong growing branches is
necessary. This heading back tends
to develop side branches and atten-
tion must be given to the elimination
of some of these that too many scaf-
fold branches are not formed. The
who}e aim should be to build up a
framework that will carry large
crops of fruit and at the same time
not have an over abundance of large
branches.
Sunlight is essential for vigorous
leaf -growth and also fur ripening the
fruit,' a dense growth is, therefore,
objectionable and the preventing of
this should for the most part con-
sist of annual removal of such small
branches as are likely in time to ex-
tend to where other more desirable
branches should be. The judgment
of the operator only can determine
how best to develop the tree. The
tendency to remove all small branches
which may for several years develop
fruiting areas should be avoided. It
is, of course, impossible to prune so
that some of the larger branches will
not in time have to be removed, but
a. little 'thought will reduce this pos-
sibility to a minimum.
Undoubtedly the latter part of
•Pliareh and April are the beat months
to ,prune. The wounds -mads at that
season will more readily, heal over
than -if made earlier and there. is
more time to give to the l work. Cov-
erings are generally of little value
e�ccept in the case of .large wounds
when a 'good thick white lead paint
h a little linseed oil in it should
be painted into the wood surface to
prevent checking and decay. Such
wounds should be protected from year
to year to preserve the wood until
healed over.
.The cutting should be made rea-
sonably close as -otherwise more time
will be required for the wound to
heal over. Stubs of branches if left
prevent: a.covering of the wound with
bark, and 'decay may result before
the l;gwound is healed over. Old ne'g-
1e0tea trees should be carefully prun-
ed" to remove all dead wood leaving
the beat and Strongest branches. It

wards keeping them solid where
otherwise they would have been in
very bad condition.
BAI!FIELD
Breezes. -Mr. A. Vanstone and two
sons, Harold and Garfield, of Gerrie,
spent the week end with his sister,
Mrs. Thomas Ring. -Mr. John How-
ard returned last week from a two
weeks' visit with friends at Toronto,
-A play and concert is being arrang-

Wednesday morning, March 16th. We
refer to the late William Attwood.
Deceased was born in England and
came to this country with his parents
about sixty-eight years ago, settling
at a place afterwards called Attwood.
He has been a resident of Bayfield
about fifty years, and was married
about 43 years ago to Elizabeth John-
ston. There was a family ,of five:
Fred, of Rock Island,Il1.; William, of
Arden, Manitoba; Flossie (Mrs. Al-
ien). of Watrous, Sask.; Arlington,
of Detroit; James (deceased). The
funeral, which was largely attended,
w as held on Friday afternoon, ser-
vices being held at Trinity Church by
Rev. R. C. Pitts. The pall bearers
is ere Thomas Cameron, John Watson,
1-1. Talbot, A. Armstrong, Geo. Green-
slade, and John Howard. Mr. Att-
wood"was one of the early members
of the C. O. F.
Box Social. -The box social on
Tuesday evening of last week under
the auspices of the council was a
great success. Although the weather
was most disagreeable and stormy,
there was a good crowd present and
all had a pleasant time. The Art
and Curio exhibit in the basement was
interesting and amusing. G. H. El-
liott, the popular auctioneer of Clin-
ton, sold the boxes at good figures.
. pleasing programme *as given:
violin selections by Mrs. F. McKwan
and Mr. Arthur Peck, accompanied on
the piano by Miss Lottie Peck were
much enjoyed as was James Rouatt's
mouth organ playing with Mrs. Fer-
guson at the piano; songs by Mr. Mc -
Kerr, A. E. Erwin and G. Elliott.
The proceeds amounted to over $72.
McKILLOP
Successful Social. -The concert and
box social held in the school house of
School Section No. 7, on St. Patrick's
evening, was a huge success. Much
credit is due the teacher, Miss E.
Little, and pupils, and all others who
so ably assisted on rendering such a
splendid programme. One of the
most interesting features of the even-
ing was the disposing of the boxes
by Mr. J. J. MeGavin, who proved a
very efficient auctioneer, as the sum
realized for some of the boxes was
over five dollars. The proceeds of
the evening amounted to $91, which
is to be used for replenishing the
library and other necessary fixtures
for the school and grounds. •
Address and Presentation to M.
Murdie, Esq. -A pleasing event took
place at the home of Mr. M. Murdie
on the evening of March 16th, 1921,
when the McKillop Council and of-
ficials and a few friends assembled
at his home to show their apprecia-
tion of his long service to t�i e Munic-
ipality of MdHillop as COuneillor,
Reeve and Township • Clerk, extend-

BRUCEFIELD
Notes. -The many friends of Mrs.
Thomas Baird will be sorry to hear
of her serious illness. -Miss H. Craig
of Hensall, spent the, week end at
Miss McCully's.-.Hugh Ross, who had
his legs amputated, got his artificial
limbs last week from Toronto and
in now using them. He has put up a
good fight and will soon be able to
use the artificial limbs. -The U. F.
W. 0. met at the home of Mrs. Jas.
Aikenhead, vice-president, on Wed-
nesday last. The next meeting will
be held at the home of Mrs. William
Ross in Stanley. -Hugh McGregor
has sold his farm to John Taylor
near Grand 'Bend, for $12,000. There
are 200 acres. He will move to
Brucefield. where he has bought B.
R. Higgin's brick cottage, and take
n rest. -Rev. Mr. McLean and Mr.
McIntosh exchanged pulpits on Sun-
day morning. -Easter service will be
observed here on Sunday, -Mrs. Cleo.
Hill has returned from Forest, where
she visited at the home of Dr, Rogers,
formerly of our village. -The Easter
Thankoffering of the Women's Mis-
sionary Auxiliary and the Kelly
Circle will be taken on Sunday, Mar.
27th. -The ladies of the Brucefield U.
F. W. 0. Club are entertaining the
niembers and members' wives of the
U.F.O. on Tuesday evening, March
29th, at Walker's Hall.
Missionary. - Envelopes for the
Easter offering have been distributed
amongst the Senior and Junior Aux-
iliaries of the W. M. S. of Union
church. On account of the high rate
of exchange on money sent to the
foreign fields, the Executive Board of
the Presbyterian church have found
there is a much larger deficit than
they had anticipated. It has cost
from twenty to seventy cents during
the past year to send one dollar to
the foreign field, although recently
-the rate has dropped almost to par
If this continues such heavy charges
will not have to ,.be met another
year. In the meantime the Executive
Board hesitate to undertake anything
new, such as the pension scheme for
disabled missionary workers, or the
taking on of new missionaries. Even
some of our native workers may have
to be dismissed until they see how
they will be backed up by the society
at large. May our society do its
part in helping to raise the required
amount. If we, including Home
Helpers and members in attendance,
would follow the suggestion of the
Board, (one dollar extra this Easter)
the increase over last year from this
congregation would be over $140.
KIPPEN
Notes. -Mr. and Mrs. John Gillman
and son, who have been spending the
past four months among their many
friends in this vicinity, left this week
for their western home near Moose
Jaw. -Mr. and Mrs. Alven Harvey
have got moved to their new home ad-
joining the village, which they pur-
chased from Mr. Detweiler and are
busy getting their effects in order.
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey need no intro-
duction to the people of Kippen as
both are well known and will make
the best of citizens. Mr, Albert An-
derson, of Marlette, Michigan, was
here this week on a short visit to
his brothers, Messrs. William and Ar-
thur and his sister, Mrs. John Work-
man. -Mr• and Mrs. Andrew Love, of
the Parr Line, were week end visi-
tors at the home of Mr, and Mrs.
McKenzie and also called on friends
in the village, who are always pleas-
ed to see them. Mr. Love has spent
over sixty-five years of his life in
the vicinity of Hills Green, as he was
only a few months old when he came
to that district with his parents-irom
Paris. During these long year Mr.
Love has seen many changes especial-
ly in the passing awayof the • old
settlers. He is one of the successful
farmers of the Parr Line as he and
his amiable partner made good in
their young days and are now entitled
to a rest. --Mrs, John Crawford is
making an extended visit with her
son, William of Ripley. Her many

George E. Thompson is making a
start on his new farm to the north
of our village recently purchased
from Mr. Lorne Moffatt. There are
only four farms between Kippen and

the old pioneers who settled them are
now livipg. These are Robert Coop-
er, James 11 McLean, R. B. McLean,
and James Mustard. -On Saturday
evening last the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Alves Harvey was taken by

Burns, whose fine property ad5oins
Hensall on the Zurich Road, the past
week visited at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. James r. McLean, where she
spent her 93rd birthday. Mra. Burns
is one of the first settlers In this
district, and has come through all
the 'hardships which was the lot of
the'early pioneers, but still has been
spirted to ser a good old age and al-
though she is old in years is still
young in mind and retains all her
faculties, and goes about the home
like one- man;: years her junior. It
is the wish of Mrs. Burns' many
friends that she may yet be spared
years of good health. -The 100 -acre
farm of the late David Kyle, which
was sold hp auction on Wednesday
last, was purchased by Thomas Welsh
of Hensall, for $9,650. This was
$2,150 more than the same farm was
bought for ,enme years ago. -The
plows are getting started, which is a

in Carmel Presbyterian Church on
Friday evening, the 25th, when the
beautiful cantatta, "The Living
Christ," will be rendered by the large
choir, comprising some thirty-five
voices, and will be ably assisted by
Mr. W. O. Goodwin, Hensall's noted
tenor, who has so ably assisted the
choir on several occasions. A record
attendance is looked forward to.-
Mrs.
o-Mrs. G. P. Marshall is spending
the Easter holidays with her parents
at Smith Falls. Friday evening of
last week was a record evening in
Hensall Lodge No. 213 Indejendent
Order of Oddfellows, when thirteen
new members received the second de-
gree; that very interesting degree
being put on by lnelnbers of the
sister lodge of Exeter, who attended
in large numbers and , exemplified
the work in a manner that called
forth the greatest praise from all
present, the spacious lodge bein(;?'filj-
ed to capacity. The Exeter Orchestra
added much iio the pleasure and the
interest of the degree and the work
was put on in a manner that could
not well be surpassed. At the close
of the degree, Past Noble Grand, G.
J. Sutherland was called upon for an
address after which a vote of thanks
was nicely given by Past Grand. -G. C.
Petty and ably,seconded by Past
Noble Grand William McKay. Re-
freshments were served by the Lodge
which for abundance and fine quality
gave evidence that nothing was con-
sidered too good -not this time for
the Irish alone -but for the good Odd -
fellows, and after an hour or so spent
in social intercourse, all repaired to
their homes feeling that a most pleas-
ant evening had been spent.ise

Union Stock Yards. Toronto, March 22.-
7he supply of cattle at the yards this
morning was lighter than had been expect-
ed, d trade ped slow with sellere k-
ing for an advance in price over the level
of last week's clone. Boyers were willing
to dgnagreed
at teady prices and when
this - greed to trade became brisk and
some 1,800 head of the 2.750 offered crossed
the scales 6y mid-day. 13y closing time the
entire offering bad been taken
up. De-
mon
emman for heavy steers and heifers was not
so pressing as last week as none were want-
ed to -day for export and pnokers have been
finding carcasses from this Mass of cattle
hard to dispose of locally. Fat cows were in
good demand, however, chiefly for the Kocher
trade; one cow, weighing 1,680 pounds, ship-
ped by J. 13. Mitchell, Whitby, and °old by
Dunn and Levack to J. Golstein, bringing
the exceptional price of 11 cents per pound.
Baby beef sold as high as 18 cents, but
the top -for heavy steers was 11 cents, while
choice butcher steers and hetfera were from
9 to 10 cents, to a trifle stronger in spot..
Taken as a whole the market for all gradin
of killers we° fairly brick but would not
have .food a much heavier supply. Dealers
in stocker. and feeders reported a good de-
mand for their line of cattle, with supplies
somewhat short. Forward cpringem were
wanted at steady prices, and there was an
improvement in the demand for Shorthorn
cows of the milking kind.
Trade in calves was brisk and prier were
stronger throughout. Choice calves brought
1631, cents per pound very generally and se
high as 17% cents was paid for tope. The
greatest improvement occurred in the case
f medium and common calves, however.
Medium calves brought 14 to 16 cents, and
common kind, from 12 to 18 cents, or a
full dollar per cwt. better than last week.
Lambe were firm to stronger; seventy
head sold at from 149% to 16 cents• while
the general run of good to choice lambs
brought 1131 to 18 cents, Many of the spring
lambs of 1920 are beginning to come s little
heavy and a number of these went as Year -
lingo at around 11 cents. 'New spring lambs
sold to -day at 114 and 815 each. Sheep
were steady at 9 tenth per pound for choice.
Packer buyers' prize for hogs 0.• o. b. to-
day was 1430a cents, which would have made
the fed and watered price 1634 cents. Very
few hogs were secured at this figure, how -
r, ae outside buyers •were willing to pay
155 cents, whish is a quarter higher than
lost week, and in a few cum ea high as
15% cents was obtained.
Receipta to -day were 2,760 cattle. 408
calves, 2,107 hog. and 412 sheets and lambs.
