THERE were tlreworks in the senate
last week over the World court
resolution. Proponents of the measure
sought quick action tint Senator

filibuster Tuesday, talking for many
hours. Next tiny Hiram Johusqn of
California anil Jim Reed of Missouri
made spirited attacks on the resolution.
Both sides were preparing for a]
light over cloture and there was a lot
of discussion of the question of Vet-?(
ting a definite date fur taking a vote.'
Then Vice President Pawes took ni
bund with characteristic vigor. Speak-1
ing over the radio on revision of the]
senate rules, he cited the methods of
delay being used by opponents of tlie |

; eIrly training J
i ' of apple trees
( "A satisfactory head with well placed
scaffold branches and strong crotches
that will not break down under loads
1 of fruit depend upon the early traln-j
inglof the young apple trees," states
A. Freeman Mason, specialist In fruit
I ?"' ino Ww Jersey State College of
Agrl culture.
"The first thins to do in training tliej
two-year-old apple tree is to select
the scaffold branches. If an open-ceni
ter or vase-shaped apple!tree Is desired
three or four vigorous branches,
well distributed, around the trunk and
making wide-angled crotches with It.
should be selected. These branctes
should he separated from j each other
by several Inches. If possible. The
center branch. If one Is present and |
any additional side branches, should
| be cuj off, and the three or fqur re-J
mnlnlngi scaffold branches! should be
tlppedj hack lightly to make them of
equal height. It may be possible to
select only one or two of the senf- I
fold branches the first yepi"- I" this
case, the ^center branch should be al
lowed to remain to form a trunk from
which additional scaffold branches j
may be selected later, after which this |
center branch may be removed.
"If a leader-type tree, or one In
i which a central trunk Is carried up for
several feet Is desired, the j central inr I
. dominating branch Is not removed. apjj f

The leader or trunk Is tippled back a |j
' quarter to a third of Its length to pro- |
aiote the formation of additional s'de
1 branches. It Is desirable fo tip the
scaffold branches slightly to promote
' branching.
"In pruning young trees Injur 'don'ts'
1 shonld be observjed: Don't leave
branches wltlv narrqw-ancled or sharp
I crotches: don't allow the tips of scat- [j
' fold branches to divide Ihto evensized

Prune Gooseberries and
| Currants to Save Wood
The fruit of both gooseberries and
currants Is !wrne near the base of
one-year-old wood and on short'spurs
on the older wood. The b^st spurs ,
j appear on fairly vlgcrous Wood, and
1 few spurs are produced on wood older
than two or three yeirs. T|ie object
1 In pruning should be to keep the bush I,
fairly open and to reh in a fairly good .
supply of young wood

two and three-year-old wood:; In fact,
many growers systematize the pruning
so as to leave as far as possible
only three to four canes each of the
one. two and three-year-old wood. All
' other canes are removed. This method
leaves the best kind of fruiting
wood, and It also produces a busb
with about the right amount of wood
for good results.
Currants and gooseberries can be
pruned any time during the dormant
season. Black currants should be
pruned more heavily than red or
white currants, as a rule.
Transr>br>t Fruit Trees
In Spring Is Best Plan
Fruit lives .an oe transplanted In
the full, although spring is the best
time. Greater care is required when
I he trees are planted In the fall than
when set out In the spring. It Is best
to dig the hole plenty lurge and fill
with water, allowing It to soak away
before planting the tree. It Is also
beneficial to place an ordinary drain
tile upon end near the trea so that It
can be filled with water occasionally
during the summer time. Care should
be taken not to Injure the roojts but
to puck the soli firmly around! them.
Horticulture b acts
.
Spraying must be done to control
Insect and disease pests which |would
otherwise destroy the major pkrt of
fruit crops. r

Look around carefully and jmake
sure that nil tools and equipment are .
placed under cover. Much money Is
lost every j year by having valuable ,
tools exposed to the winter weather.
Because bf the unusual drought of
last year l^i the West, more timber |
has died from the attack of the
western pine beetle this season than
during any prevloua time during the
pust 15 years.
Leaves make an excellent mulch for
a strawberry patch.
?
Grapes cannot be expected to produce
abundantly unless they are given
good cultivation from the start, ^hey
will respond to the same thorough
cultivation given corn or potatoes
some noetng around tne hase of) the
plant Is usually necessary to projvlde
a mulch and keep down the weeds.
About, the middle of July or first of
August a cftver crop of barley or oats
may be sown.
, \
Apple? which have been In comfnoo
storage since harvest time shoulti be
examined carefully at this time and (
the ones which show signs of decay .
sorted out. Careful sorting wllij de j
much to prolong the life of the sujunb
apples.
To raise an abundant supply of
strawberry plants the parent plants
should he planted as early in' the
spring as possible. The earlie'r thej
are planted the sooner will new run
ners be found und the more they will
develop during the season.
