APPLE AND PEACH
PRUNING METHODS
Extension Horticulturist Tells
About Proper Care of The
Fruit Trees
By H. R. NISWONGER,
(Extension Horticulturist, N. C.
State College.)
In recent years we have come to
know that severe pruning of young
apple trees reduces the size of the
tree and delays bearing. Water
sprouts on young* trees are general
ly the result ®f too much pruning
and too heavy sprang applications oi
either nitrate of soda or sulphate oi
ammonia. When pruning young
apple trees, do not cut back the an
nual growth, but confine your prun
ing to the removal of such large
branches which in the future will
crowd the main limbs you have
chosen for the trame work. It there
are two leaders or central branches,
remove one and have the side
branches on the other well separated.
Do not cut out all the smallest bran
ches or spur-like twigs growing thru
out the tree, no matter how crowd
ed they seem to be.
When tne tree comes into bear
ing, it will begin to open up and
free many of these smaller branches
You rarely can spread a tree by
means of pruning tools. Ihe apple
tree will attend to this ii.-e.f if
you only keep it vigorous pro
ducing armies. our profits will do
depend on the trees’ capacity to bear
consequently, you must grow' a large
productive tree, dependent largely
on soil fertility rather than so much
pruning.
When pruning the bearing
trees you should decide which are
the permanent limbs and remove
•{hocp which are =o close* to these
permanent ones that it. is impossib
le to develop side branches from
them except many feet from the
trunk. The other smaller branches
which have full use of the sunlight
should not be cut out since each one
of these through its leaves, adds its
share to the sum total of elaborat
ed food which the whole tree utilizes
in its growth and fruit production,
though each branch more than pays
its way.
Pruning Peach Trees
Heavy pruning, especially severe
cutting back of last year’s growth,
will, in time, dwarf the peach tree
and reduce its capacity to bear se
vere tipping of the main branches
as well as others, causes a heavy
growth at the point of tipping and
weakening of the smaller fruiting
branches in the lower part of the
tree. On account of this heavy
growth following pruning, excessive
shade is produced with a loss of
color on the peaches. The pruning
practice now being followed by many
commercial growers in most of our
peach growing states, consists of a
very light tirving of the ends of
the branches, and in some instances
no tippino* at all and more thinning
or cutting out of larger branches
throughout the tree, leaving the
smaller fruitin" branches untouched.
This practice leaves more fruiting
w T Ood and in the future larger trees
to be fed and requires more nitro
genous fertilizers, more cultivation,
and cover crops grown in the or
chard.
TWO SYMPTOMS ARE
NEARLY ALWAYS Td
There are two symptoms of dise
ase in the body, which when occur
inp* in the individual practical!v al
ways mean tubreculosis in ihe lungs
of that person. These two symp
toms are hemorrhage, (the spitting
of blood) and pleurisy. Occasional
ly blood spitting or nleurisv niav be
due to something other than tuber
culosis, but it is so seldom that they
are, that the persons suffering from
these symptoms should have a thor
ough physical examination at the
hands of a specialist at orcc.
The public should understand that
these two things, blood spitting and
pleurisy aie practically synonymous
with tuberculosis of the lungs. The
hope of a cure for tuberculosis rests
upon finding the disease when it is
first beginning and instituting the
proper treatment at once. Anything

Take Brother's Advice About Boys. *
Forget That Hopeless Love.
Young Girl Should Have Many Friends.
Dear Miss Flo:
I have been going with a boy for
two years, and it has been under
stood that we would marry some
day. We quarreled recently and did
not see each other for three months.
We made it up, but now I know
that I do not care for him. Yet
1 hate to turn him dow n now, for
I know he will be terribly hurt.
Please tell me if I am selfish in
wanting to consider my own happi
ness first.
M. R.
Marriage lasts too long to be as
sumed in a spirit of pity, and you
would do yourself an injustice, and
the man as well, were you to marry
him knowine that you no longer love
him. Neither of you would be hap
py—but of the two you undoubted
ly would be the most unhappy.
For a married man has many out
side interests, and distraction, and
amusements, and compensations, and
if his marriage- does not turn out to
be all that he had hoped for, he
has his business to fall back upon,
his ambitions and his career ’to
console him. Therefore he is never
wholly dependent upon his wife for
happiness.
But a woman stakes her all on
her marriage, and if she does not
love her husband, if she does not
find happiness in her home, she has
•lothing.
So in fairness to herself she must
always consider her own happiness
first" when it comes to marriage.
Never marry any man unless you are
very much in love with him, for
every woman craves romance, and if
she doesn’t get it at home she is
very apt to seek it elsewhere.
by which the individual can recog
nize the onset of this insidious dis
ease is really a godsend. Pleurisy

The whole world knows Aspirin as an effective antidote for
pain. But it’s just as important to know that there is only one
genuine Bayer Aspirin. The name Bayer is on every tablet, and
on the box. If it says Bayer, it’s genuine; and if it doesn’t, it is
not! Headaches are dispelled by Bayer Aspirin. So are colds,
and the pain that goes with them; even neuralgia, neuritis, and
rheumatism promptly relieved. Get Bayer —at any drugstore—
with proven directions.
Physicians prescribe Bayer Aspirin;
it does NOT affect the heart

It is much better to break now
than later —and you both should
thank your lucky stars that you
found out' before marriage that you
are not suited to each other. It
will hurt for a w 7 hile —but he will
get over it.
Dear Miss Flo:
I am working in an office where
I meet many business men, but my
employer never introduces me to
them. I feel that this is a slight,
and it makes it embarraassing for
me to work for some of these men.
There is one young man who comes
into the office and who always
speaks courteously to me. He has
asked me to have lunch with him
but since we have never met I don’t
believe it would be proper.
J. L.
My dear, you certainly are making
| :*. mountaian out of a mole-hill,
i Business isn’t societv, nor is a
business office a drawing room. It
would no doubt be more courteous
for your employer to introduce you
to men whose work you are asked
to do, but it is really immaterial.
During business hours you are just
a part of the office machinery, and
the sooner you realize that fact the
happier you will be.
And it’s ridiculous to think that
men and women who work together
and see each other every hour o p
the day must wait until they are
properly introduced before they
notice each other. They get to know
each other as men and women never
j can in society, so you need have no
; hesitation in accepting the young
• man’s attention if you have sized
j him up and found him all right.
Any person who has ever had pleu
risy, or spit up any blood should
i regard it gratefully as a warning,
-m] tak'* the warning. Go to a good
| doctor for a thorough physical ex
{animation, including the chest at
’ once.
THE CHATHAM RECORD
LOCAL DEALER ATTENDS
DELCG-LIGHT MEETING
“Sales of Delco Light farm light- 1
ing plants and electric residence wa
ter systems in 1928 will make this
year an unusually successful one,
probably one of the best in the 12
years of the Delco Light Company’s
history,” it was predicted by M. D. j
Foster.of the Sanford Electric Co.,
local Delco Light dealer after his
return from the annual sales con
vention held in Atlanta, Ga.
v The meeting was one of a series
being held at important points thru
out the United States.
“We have returned from the con
vention with a Vetter realization than
ever before of the need for effi
cient low-priced electric equipment
on the farm,’ the local dealer said.
“We were shown that in this coun
ty and in every county of the United
States outside the great metropoli
tan districts, there are hundreds of
families which are not enjoying* the
full benefits elecericity can bring
to them.
“Farmers are realizing that run
ning water for stock, electric lights
in their houses and barns, a source
of electric current for the operation
of radios, vacuum cleaners and sim
ilar equipment in their homes, all
help in the more efficient operation
of their farms.
t “The Delco Light Company, Gen
eral Motors subsidiary, which has
sold more farm lighting plants than
all other makes combined, has shown
its selling men in this convention
that opportunities for business ir
1928 are greater than ever before

company has arranged for a vigor
ous advertising campaign, both in

“Delco Light dealers are being

electric water systems, mounted on
attractively painted Chevrolet coupes
i n order to bring our message of

ter right to the farmer’s door.
“An important feature of the

Essential to Nation’s Welfare’-’
Says The Chicago Tribune
“We call for an unrestricted Row of

would prevent linking up the nation’s

principle upon which America's

has been based —the principle of

and development of business.
“When the people are subjected
to overmuch government," said

“During* the one-day program, a

ting the wide range of work and ser
vice this equipment gives.
“The convention closed with a
banquet, at which H. W. Arnold,
general manager: W. R. Huber, sales
manager; C. C. Whistler, advertising
manager, and other company offi
cials were the principal speakers.
“This year’s Delco Light conven
tion was one of the most enthusias
tic I have ever attended, and with
the new aids given to the national
selling force by the company, it is
certain that the Delco Light organ
ization will establish a high sales
mark in the coming year and bring
comfort and utility to thousands of
American farm homes.”

Since 1696, the sturdy Hollanders have
warded off kidney, liver, bladder, bowel

the electric light and power com*
panies of this country.
Within forty years, electricity
has revolutionized America’s
standards of living and of work.
The extent of its contribution to
the general welfare has been
made possible only through the
unbiased and scientific admini
stration of the electric power
industry.
Because of intelligent manage
ment and the maintenance of the
American principle of individual
initiative, the electric light and
power companies have been able
to enlist in their service the high«
est type of business leadership,
scientific acumen and necessary
capital. *
And yet, the electrical era has
only begun. Its future rests in
. the hands of the public who
know its benefits. Upon that
public falls the defense of the
principles which have given
America the electrical leadership
of the world.
