it took me to walk from the house to the road and back again six planes went over my head all in different directions but never a car did i see at all more planes in the air than can on the road lent that something 7 x wonder how it will be after the war i mean will there be more planes and less cars or more cars and less planes naturally planes will be in greater demand for com mercial use but i suppose unless they develop some kind of aerial flivver you and 1 will still be quite content to roll along on the road and think ourselves mighty lucky at that hav ing passed through a period of not belng to roll along just when we felt like it- recently i wondered whether our car was doomed to be laid up for the duration you see one day partner and i were going to town and as we started partner said i had better drive easy as i had a tire that looked as if it might blow out any time i have told you that partner absolutely re fuses to drive a car havent it that may have been good advice it is bet ter to be safe than sorry especially where a car is concerned but it cer tainly didnt add to my comfort x knew i should have tried my luck at getting a couple of new tires but with one thing and another i had put it off now i was really driven to it the application was sent away and i waited and waited and waited each passing day increased my uneasiness i heard rumors of applications being turned down of government regul ations being tightened up and i can tell you that shabby old 30 ol ours began to look llkefra million dollars and then after three weeks the per mit came through i think when we get the iires i shall trim themup with pink bows just to celebrate did i mfar someone say oh yes a farmer gets all the breaks just let me try for new tires and see how far i i would get well i can understand your viewpoint it must seem pretty tough to you when you probably feel that a car is just as necessary to you i as to the farmer but yet you are getting along without it arent your whereas the farmer well a car is as necessary to him now as any of his field implements take our car for instance it hardly ever goes to town without bringing back a hundred of bran shorts chop or laying mash it takes in eggs and chickens grain to be chopped and sometimes it is plied high with red cross sewing knitting and quilts it takes people to and from the station it gets repairs and does the weekly shopping it goes to church and to meetings it calls at every farm in the district whenever a red cross drive is on and occasion ally it does take us to a show oh yes and once in a

gen erally misunderstood in its practical application d s blair horticultural division dominion deportment of agriculture told the northumberland and durham apple- growers associ ation in a recent address orchard- ists were not entirely to blame he said because it was only wit it in the last quarter century that carefully planned experiments had been con ducted to study the effect of pruning upon tho growth and fruiting even today loading authorities could not agree on some of the minor details when pruning the grower should have a definite plan in mind whether the trees were young or old tho purpose of pruning tho young non- bearing tree was primarily to train or shqpe the tree so that the main scaffold branches would develop strong wideangled crotches capable of hearing fruit without breakage this training should develop n frame work capable of supporting heavy crops or fruit when the tree reached bearing age the aim in n commer cial orchard was not to produce a tree pleasing to tho eye but rather one that was commercially profitable within a reasonable period of time tlie main objective in pruning bearing trees was to prevent tho trees from becoming too dense so that sunlight could reach all parts of tho tree to assist in carbohydrate manufacture and tho coloring of the fruit also to facilitate orchard oper ations such as spraying thinning and picking another
