ASHEBORO ROUTE 1 ITEMS
New U a good tim to plan the or
chard work fox the coming year.
Best results an obtained where a
complete program,' consisting of
pnuting, spraying, fertilisation and
cultiTation ia carried out, say horti
cultural workers of the State College
and Department of Agriculture.
Pruning is the first part of this
program at advocated by these work
era and should be done any time dur
ing the dormant season. It should j
consist of removing the new growth
not needed, cutting back rangy
branches, removing dead and dis
eased limbs, and heading back or re
moving all crossing or closely paral
led branches.
If the branch is growing too long
and must be headed back, the end
should be cut back to a lateral. The
ends of the branches should not be
stubbed back as this causes an ex
cess of laterals on the branch in the
vicinity of the pruning wound and
less sunlight will be admitted. This
is not conductive to fruit spur de
velopment.
Heavy cutting should not be prac
ticed on the apple tree in bearing as
this will throw the tree out of fruit
bearing into wood production and is
very undesirable.
Fruit spurs will not form where
heavy cutting is practiced and fruit
spur formation is very essential at
this time. The cutting should be
light in character and dstributed over
the entire tree.
Spraying should be done according
to a schedule given in the spray cal
endar of the Bulletin, "Insect Pests
and Diseases of Apples and their
Control in North Carolina." The
spray material should be ordered at
once in order to insure delivery in
time. A nozzle that gives a fine,
misty spray should be used on a
sprayer that gives high pressure.

MR. HAMMER ON TAX REDUC
TION AND SOLDIERS' BONUS
There are three important factors
in the beautification of any home
grounds, says Frank E. McCall, Land
scape Architect for the State College
and Department of Agriculture. The
first of these, says Mr. McCall, is to
clean up. This change alone in the
general appearance, not only lends a
charm but at once brands the inhabi
tants as people of refinement even
though unable for the time being to
plant and maintain costly shrubberies
and flower gardens.
The second is to plant. With the
abundance of available plant materi
als in the nearby woodlands, every
home can have some shrubs as well
as the choicest kinds of shade trees.
Evergreen screens of cedar, pine, or
some of the broad leaved evergreens
can be planted to cut off views of
outbuildings. Flowers can be plant
ed with the shrubs and will give abun
dant color. Gradually as time and
money will permit the nursery trees,
shrubs and flowers can be added. A
green lawn always adds to the charm
of a home ground.
Mr. McCall says that the best ferti
Izer for most shrubs, is leaf mould,
great beds of it For this reason
it is a good plan to plant the shrubs
m groups.
If these three points were follwed
by all homeowners in North Carolina
the grounds of the various homes
could be made more attractive and
valuable.

waste and more to meet the annual
cost of the soldiers' bonus.
"And they tell us the soldiers
themselves would be compelled to pay
in future taxes a large portion of the
money they would receive. Are they
not now paying heavily a part of the
present taxes made necessary because
of the war which made so many im
mensely wealthy and so largely in
creased incomes to most of those who
remained.
"I shall vote for the compensation
bill with the amendments we hope to
get adopted, and I do not thing this
will be inconsistant with a substantial
tax-reduction.
Secretary Mellon reports 320 mil
lions of dollars in the Treasury, al
though he said last year there would
be a deficit and the President assign
ed this as one of the chief reasons for
vetoine the Soldiers' bonus which
passed both houses last Congress.
"The Uarner bill wiu reduce taxes
more than a quarter of a billion dol
lars.
Great Brittain is now paying us
170 million dollars annually, and this
amount is to be paid to the United
States every year for 62 years under
the terms of the settlement of the
debt with this country. We are ne
gotiating to secure the interest on
our loans to France. This Congress
is getting ready to cut off 80 million
dollars a year of extravagance in
augurated by the Harding adminis
tration two years ago, in wmcn mil
lions were appropriated for useless
bureaucrats and clerks, and the mon
ey paid out for no other purpose than
to make places for pots of politicians.
The adjusted compensations will
not cost in excess of 82 millions' a
year; 77 millions would be more near
ly the right amount for the first
year, and not exceeding 100 millions
thereafter.
This is small when we consider the
vast resources of our Government,
the annual income beine 6 billion dol
lars, and the annual cost would not be
quite one-seventh of one per cent, or
if bonds are issued, the whole amount
paid annually in interest and sinking
fund would be less tnan one nunared
millions for 60 years, which would be
less than one-sixth of one per cent of
the total income of the Treasury.
"Instead of costing a vague and
indefinite sum the bonus can be taken
care of with comparatively little cost.
The greater tax reduction of Gamer's
bill in the lower brackets can be put
through and the bonus still paid and
the increase of expenditures as shown
above would be innnlteslmaiiy small.
In my -opinion unless this legisla
tion is enacted now, it will cost us
many times as much within a few
years,, as there will be a demand for
pensions with all the evils of a

circulated in Washington. An alleged
agreement which they have reached
with respect to the "truth-in-fabric
bills pending in Congress is said to be
part of the arrangement to make
Capper the Republican vice-presidential
nominee in the hope of win
ning Kansas for President Coolidge. ,
According to one story, published
in an influential New York newspa
per, Senator Capper has abandoned
support of a bill which was advocated
by growers of wool, farmers and ag
ricultural organizations and opposed
by woolen manufacturers and es
poused in its stead one introduced by
Senator Lodge. This latter bill, it
is reported, was less drastic than
Senator Capper's proposed measure
and it is at the same time less objec
tionable to the woolen manufacturers.
After having introduced his own
bill, Senator Lodge subsequently sub
stituted for it one incorporating some
provisions of the Capper bill, it is
alleged. Now the woolen manufac
turers are opposing it and hinting
bad faith on Senator Lodge's part.
Those who are more interested iri
politics than in wool regard the al
leged understanding between Senator
Lodge and Senator Capper as only
an episode in the scheme to make use
of the latter's progressive label in
