TREES CAN BE PUT
IN GOOD SHAPE
l)r. 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."

ing Orchardists and Others
The cities of Harrisburg and Read
ing together with the school districts
of Sharon, New Castle, Hazleton and
other places were last night adjudged
sufficiently wealthy to carry their own
employers and public liability insur
ance by the State Compensation Board.
It was the last sess.'on of the board
and seventy-three exemptions were
granted, the John C. Herman Company,
ot this city; York Railways and a num
ber »f big railroad, coal and steel com
panies beinjr la the list.
The board also ruled that persons or
firms or corporations engaged in fruit
raising-, poultry raising and horticul
ture generally as a business and -not
as incidental to farming are not re
lieved from the liability net. This will
catch a large number of people in the
opinion of people at the Capitol. Only
purely farming" operations are exempt.

How Abeut That Pair
of Eyeglasses
You intended to get, but put off
on account of Christmas? 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.
