The only reccanmiendable procedure is one of care-taking at every stage of the work. There is much difference of opinion as to when to set fruit trees—fall or spring planting. I suggest that fall planting is preferable to spring plant ing. The advantages of fall planting are several. The trees become estab lished in the open weather of, fall, and they usually make a start in the spring before the ground is dry enough to allow spring planting. This month and January are ideal months to get the home orchard set. This early start means not only a better growth the first season, but what is more ' nportant, trees that get a very early told, too, withstand the droughts of midsummer much better than trees planted in the spring. Again, it is commonly better to buy trees in the fall, when the stock is full and when the best trees are yet unsold. Distance apart to set: Fruit plants are oftener set too close together than too far apart; in fact the better error scarcely exists. - Trees, especially, are wide feeders and the best results are secured when each tree stands far enough from its neighbors to allow it to possess an individuality all of its own. This distance will also aid the easiness of cultivation and spraying. Apples should be plantel 30 feet by 30 feet, pears same# plum, cherry, fig and peaches 20 feet by 20 feet, peach 60 feet by 60 feet, grapes (bunch) 8 feet by 10 feet, and muscadihe 15 feet by 20 feet. These are safe distances to use. How to plant: Plow the land and fit it well. As all orchards should be put into tilled crops for at least the first two years after planting. In all ordi nary lands holes are dug by hand for the fruit trees. Plowing out a deep furrow in the line of the rows may lessen the digging and aid in getting the trees in line. ‘ The hole should be broad and ample, and the harder the soil the larger the hole to be, for in that case the loose dirt that is filled in must give the trees a start. Chop or dig up the earth in the bottom of the hole, onthrow in a few shovelfuls of loose surface earth. No hardpan should-be left immediately under the tree. Trees should be set about two inches deeper than they stood in the nursery, for the loose earth will "settle and wash away in the course of the sea son. Leave a slight sunken place around the tree when' set to hold water. Every care must be exercised to get the soil thoroughly firmed in about the roots—which are straightened out in approximately their natural posi tion, and especially ilnder the crown or fork of the roots,, in order that no air spaces may be left to dry out. This dirt can best he placed by fihger- ing it in, moving the tree gently up ASSESSOR’S NOTICE, 1926 The Coiyrty Auditor’* office at Lau rens will be open from the first day of January to the 20th day of February, 1926, fox* the purpose of making tax returns for the ensuing year; and for the transaction of all business per taining to the office.

There are two general methods of trimming Doan’s are a stimulant diuretic to the Jcidneys. Doan’s have helped thous ands. They should help you. Here is one of many Clinton cases: * Mrs. Nannie E. Finney, 66 Florida St., says: “There was a constant, bear the tops of young trees at planting ,„^ ow „ ath ; acr0 , s my back and I time. One method, cut back all the branches to spurs of one to three buds, ntgr Woven for Chri^tma^jj 1 For a Sensible Serviceable Christmas Gift You Can’t f 'V / Beat Those Famous y /' „ . i,- v ,. . y ^ -k i - ■ ''ffi t. ^' ../u.Jsd.kif ” or sometimes the side branches may be cut entirely awaf, leaving only the buds on the main stem or trunk. The tree, therefore, “feathers out” the first season; that is, it makes many small shoots along the main trunk. The following autumn or spring, the top is started at the desired height. The second method aims to start the top at the required height when the tree^s planted. It is adapted only to strong and well-grown stocks tha>* have a more or less branching and forking top. From three , to five of the best branches are left, and these are headed to a few buds each. It is, of course, evident that there is no one method of pruning young trees that is all wrong, nor any other that is all right. The method must always be modified by the age and shape of the tree. In general, it may be said that life younger the stock the more nearly to a whip it may be pruned. N The trees may be trimmed before they are planted, although it is usual ly better to trim just after they are set, because the operation is more easily done, and there is no further danger of breaking pff the limbs by the handling of the tree. Also there is a better chanee to know the dis tance from the ground to cut. One foot is placed firmly at the base of the tree* and then with one hand the branch and with applied to the under side and the cut w made neatly and easily. N^ver cut downwards on a limb, for a ragged wound nearly always follows. • In shaping or starting the future top, care should be taken crotches or the joining the same level, for the split later on, with ice or fruit.

I used Doan’s Pills, from Young’s Pharmacy, and they cured me.” SEVERAL YEARS AGO, Mrs. Fin ney said: “I haven’t used a kidney medicine for some time; in fact, not since Doan’s cured me.” Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney" remedy : —get Doan’s iPills—the same that Mrs. Fin ney had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.
