Surface Gives Some Ideas Regarding Care For Those Hit by the Storms .More damage has been done 1o fruit and shade trees by the heavy storms of snow and sleet which went over the State this week than in any storm in the last live years according to re ports which have been received at the State Capitol and some orchard owners have reported injury to most of their trees. The offices of the De partment of Agriculture have been sent scores of letters asking for advice and information as to what to do for trees which have been broken by weight of ice or damaged by winds. State Zoologist H. A. Surface in a general statement in behalf of the de partment to-day gave these sugges tions: "The damage by ice to trees is really not as serious as it looks, for the reason that it can be overcome by proper methods of pruning and tret surgery. In many cases the break-; ing of the trees is an evidence that , they were not correctly pruned. Sys-1 lem of pruning that makes low sway- I ing branches is liable to result in breaking either by ice during winter I or by the load of fruit in the Pali. j Prune in such a manner as to muko short sturdy branches with several shoots to bear fruit or leaves. Where a. limb is broken off, prune it by cut ting off straight just above a strong i branch. If the tree is so broken as to be deformed, cut it back on all sides until it is reshaped or equally' balanced. Cut out all central stems! and cut back the tips of branches In | such a manner as to keep the tops of trees low and strengthen the branches that remain. "A tree that is the proper shape to support a big load of ice without breaking is also in proper shape to support a big load of fruit, if it be a fruit tree. The pruning of shade trees is a matter of individual choice, but most of them do not receive enough attention of this kind. If a branch be broken and the injured part be amputated, leaving a stub, new growth will start from this in such a manner as soon to reshape the tree. It is the nature of tree growth to round out the top in such a manner as to preserve symmetry and poise." FURS Ready -to - Wear Made - to - Order and ltcmodeled. Gentlemen** Fur-lined Coata.

Per haps some one made you a Xmas gift in cash that will buy a pair. Could you put the money to a more useful purpose? Could you i buy anything else that you will appreciate —or be more grateful I l'or ? Surely not if you have your eyes examined by a competent optometrist and scientifically fitted with lenses that will cor rect the least defect of vision— and improve your eyes and their precious sight. If you favor me with your patronage you will have the benefit of my 24 years' experl j ence. During these years T have examined and prescribed glasses for over twenty thousand per sons in Harrisburg and vicinity, any one of whom I feel con i fident will testify to the thor oughness of my work and to the satisfactory service which I give my patrons.
