Time
By M. E. GARDNER
Following my suggestion that
you try Espalier training ol ?
pyracantha or wme othersuitabe
plant, several requests lor help
have been received.
The word Espalier means a
trellis, framework (or wall) on
which fruit trees or shrubs are
trained in flattened form. The
trellis may Rs made by using No.
8 galvanized wire atuched to
posts and stretched taut. Two or
three wires may be attached and I
spaced about two feet apart, the ,
first wire being two feet above
ground. The framework may be
shaped according to the pattern
you wish to follow in training your
plant. Any suitable wall (bnck or I
wood) can be used. .
Thte advantage of the trellis, or
framework, lies in the fact that
you can pl.ee either in full sun
This does not rule out the wall
but it will be best not to use a
wall in deep shade, as most o
the plants suitable for Espalier
training require some """J"?:
The trellis is better adapted for
formal patterns while the wall is
best suited for informal patterns^
While a number of plants arf
suitable for Espalier training,
perhaps the most commonly used
are dwarf apple and pear trees,
probably because of their early
popularity in France and England
Others would include pyracantha,
lilac, flowering Quince, crabapple.
I suggest tkat you start with
your plants ? that training can
begin as soon as planted. Ask |
your local nurseryman to help you
select a plant that will require
the minimum of initial pruning.
You will want to give your
plant some extra care, so begin
with a good job ot Planting. The
next step is selecting ?nd traL"'"*
your main branches so that they
will conform to whatever formal
or informal pattern you select and
also to the flat surface,^ against
a wall. . ...
Frequent pruning during the
growing season will be nectary
to properly direct the growth and
maintain the flattened form.?*
will consist of careful thUimng
out and heading back as needed.
It will be necessary that the
main stems or branches be tied to
the trellis or wall. You can [ figure
out the best way to do this. Jiist
remember that precautions shoiUd
be taken not to use anything
around the branch that will gird
le it or constrict growth. II
Kindling wood dipped In wax
will always stay dry and light in
stantly.

Health and Beauty
Any woman whose (kin presents
? fine, velvet bloom is lucky be
yond words. Women bora with this
great aseet are few. There are
many today who cultivate and
create a lovely complexion through
proper diet, powder and powder
blended foundations.
The proper diet requires a little
self control at times but the end
results in face and figure more
than compensate. Eat foods that
are high in vitamin A. These in
clude almost all vegetables, es
pecially green, leafy ones almost
all fresh fruit, especially citrus
fruits ? dairy products ? be sure to
drink at least one pint of whole
milk each day. If you must diet
use skim milk and watch the
amount of fat you eat.
Exercise and fresh air will bene
fit both your complexion and fig
ure. Poor circulation is often the
cause of a muddy, tired looking
skin.
The skin deep part of a beauti
ful complexion can come in the
form of loose powder, a bottle of
powder-blended foundation or a
cake of creem-blended powder.
VUiich ever you choose, it is im
pStant to take your time and
buy carefully.
These powders should be chosen
for texture ss well as color. Some
companies design their powders in
both light and heart*- texture*
Heavier powder* have more cling
lug powder and abeorb mere o t the
ikin'a natural oils. They are heat
suited to an oily akin.
Normal and dry akina like light
weight powder*. Some very fine
grained powder* have exceptional
ding and become any akin. '
face powder color* belong in
three large groups ? the pinks, who
do wonder* for a (hallow akin;
the neutral* which are beat for a
ruddy complexion; and the goldena
which add warmth to a pale com
plexion.
A good liquid tinted foundation
help* hide imperfection*. Founda
tion* (hade* should be choeen to
face powder color*. The new cream
blended powder cakr* come in
their own neat "container* and are
just the thing for your purse.
There will be no loose particle*
to fly through %e air or spill in
your bag.
FOOD PRODUCTION DROPS
Home production of food on the
nation's farms has declined 62 per
cent during the last twenty years.
An Agriculture Department re
port showed that in 1040, food pro
duced on farms for use represent
ed 12.2 per cent of the total agri
cultural output By 1969, this per
centage had dropped to 4.0.
KNOW THE WEATHER
My S. H. SIMS
Does ? mild winter always mean
bumper crop* in the *ummer and
fall ahead?
A mild winter, contrary to what
people believe, la not neceaaarily
the beat thing for trees and plants
which produce salable products.
Some trees and plants require so
many cold nights during the winter.
If they do not receive this cooling
process, which controls the dor
mant period, they are likely to pro
duce little or bear too early, or
both.
Thus an average winter is better
than an extremely cold or an ex
tremely warm one. And there has
been little change in our average
winter weather over the years?
despite the fact that elderly people
usually think the weather was
colder in their childhood. It was
slightly colder but the difference
in the average winter at the <tt*n
of the century and today is rela
tively minor.
