Letters to Santa Claus (Editor'* Nate: The following letters were late, bul we have for warded them te the North Pale by jet and are reaw?ably awe Santa will receive then before be takes off in bis sleigh Christinas Bva). Dear Santa Claua, I am a girl who ii ten yean old. I am in the fifth grade. I have three sisters. 1 want a 50- yard slip, a pair of tights, and a jewel box. I want the slip white, the tights blue and the jewel box pink with my name on top written in black. You can bring anything else you'd like to bring me. Don't forget my sisters, brothers, or any other' girls and boys. 1 will leave you a treat under the tree. With love, Nancy Ann Smith Garden Time By M. E. GARDNER Before taking up your pruning shears this winter, it might be a good idea to first ask yourself? Why am I pruning these plants? If you can satisfactorily answer this question, it may mean the difference between doing a good job. a sloppy job or a good job of butchering. Wise pruning improves the gen eral appearance and neatness of a home landscape by. maintaining, as nearly as possible, the natural growth habits of the plants; cor recting damage caused by acci dental injury or ice breakage; con fining plants to a desired space, if necessary; stimulating the growth of flowers, fruits and fol iage; and shaping plants to some desired pattern. Remember that every plant has character represented by growth habit and leaf, stem, bark or fruit color. An understanding of the fruit or flower bearing habits of the plant is essential before one can prune intelligently. The spring blooming woody plants produce their flowers from buds already formed on wood ! produced in 1959 and remaining j dormant over winter. This is true of lilac, forsythia, I wisteria, weigelia and deutzia. The I proper time to prune these plants is just after they bloom because early spring or late fall pruning would remove the bloom buds. The summer blooming plants, hybrid perpetual roses, crepe myr tle, etc., will produce their flowers on shoots produced early in 1960 and frequently referred to as the current season's growth. Such plants require pruning in winter or early spring in order to produce strong new shoot growth. Now is a good time to prune your fruit trees and grapevines. Apples are borne on spurs produced on wood usually two years old or old er. Peaches are borne on wood one year old and grapes on new growth which is produced on canes one year old. If you have some old neglected peach and apple trees, give them a good pruning this winter, sprav them with winter strength lime sulphur and fertilize with 8-8-8 fer tilizer in the early spring. You mav be agreeatyy surprised. Merry Christmas! Census Folks Give Definition of Farm What is a farm? The Census Bureau, now engaged in taking the 1960 Census of Agriculture, has come up with a new definition. The new specifications call for either more acreage or higher farm product sales. For a place of 10 acres or more, farm product sales must be $50 or more a year to qualify as a "farm." Where the acreage is less than 10 acres, actual sales must exceed $250 a year. Since 1950, the Census Bureau had labeled a "farm" any property measuring three acres or more, providing it produced $150 worth of agricultural products a year. Property smaller than three acres qualified if actual sales total $150 or more. It's estimated that about 4 mil lion farms in the U. S. will qualify under the new label. This will be a significant decrease from the number now listed as "farms."
