ORNANENTAL TREE PRUNING Some Valuable Information Released By Department of Agriculture Oshawa is noted for the large number of fine trees which line the streets andgadorn the home grounds of its citizens. The ma- jority of these trees add to the attractiveness of our town «and are worthy of any attention that may be required to preserve their health and beauty. In this respect the writers would like to suygest that the appearance of some of our good trees would be much improved by judicious pruning. This would not only make the trees more attrac- tive, but it would help to lengthen the life of the trees as will be ex- plained later. The principles of pruning shade and fruit trees are quite similar in some respects, but in other details they differ. In the case of fruit trees, we prune to modify yleld and quality of fruit, but with most species of shade trees we are more concerned about the form of the tree with special reference to beau- ty. A beautiful tree. ghould be healthy, well balanced and symme- trical in outline. To attain these 'deals the following suggestions are given. (1) Cut out all hranches that are dend, diseased, or badly infur- ed. The removal of such branches would in itcelf be a decided im- nrovement on the existing order of things and in keening with safety- first principles. There are several trees in Port Hope which contain | Olception of a few years dead branches that are 'bovrnd te fall some day and there is danger | that some person or persons may he seriously ininred thereby. The danrer from falling hranches econ- stantly exists but obviously is much zreater during ice storms or heavy winds. (2) Make close, clean cuts; that is to sav, in cutting off a branch the cut should be at the base and in alisnmen with the parent hranch or trunk. ' Stubs of any length are unsi~htly and a source of derger of the tree through de- cay that is almost certa'n to rol- low. This point is of utmost im- nortance, but unfortunately it has .been overloo ed in the pruning of many trees in Oshawa and else- where, (3) Cut the lcast dezirchble of branches that rub egainst each oth- overhang each other, (4) Remove the least valuable branche tshat rug arainst each oth- er, (5) Branches whi'h extend be- yond the reneral outlino 6f the 'tree and destroy symmet should be cut back to conform with the oth- ers, In doing this be sure to cut just bevond and close to a lateral, (6) Remore any small, weak branches from the interior of the tree to prevent overcrowding.

If a bronch or trunk fis badly decayed it is generally better to remove the entire branch or tree rather than save it.

Recent Deaths THOMAS DOWNEY Myrtle, Jan. 28.--One of the oldest residents of this vicinity passed away on Sunday, January 22nd in the person of Thomas Downey, in his 87th year. The late Mr. Downey was born in Carlyle, Cumberland, England, and came to Canada in 1866, arriving at Whitby on the day that the soldiers returned from repulsing the Fenian Raid. He at once came north to Myrtle. and had lived here ever since, following the oc- cupation of farming, with the ex- during which he lived in Re2ch Town- ship.

Of this $625 increase $300 goes to the South Ontario Ag- ricultural Society for the Oshawa Fair, the balance being divided cmong the other fairs of the coun- ty. This means that Oshawa Fair's grant will be $5600. : The gTlnting of these moneys, which came under the first report of the committee on Agriculture, created. considerable discussion, The report was presented by G, I. Middleton, Pickering, suggest- Ing practically the same grants as last year, and the council immedi- ately went into committee of the whole cuestion, with R, Somer- ville, Port Perry, in the chair, Al- most immediately an amendment and an amendment to the amend- ment were offered, and discussion waged at considerable length, The amendment to the committee's re- port was moved by Mr, Pollard, Uxbridge, and suggested granting [$2,000 to agrioulture within the county, to be apportioned by the chairmen of the finance commit- tee, $1,000 to fairs in the northern part and $1,000 to fairs in the southern part of the county, The next motion, amending the amend- ment, was made by Mr. Jackson, Whitby, who moved for the grant- ing of $1,000 to the South Ontario Assocletion, if the Oshawa City Council did likewise, The discussion of these amend- ments took 'up considerable time, Mr, Chapman, Pickering, thought that the appeal of the delegation from the South Ontario Fair for a 81,000 grant was a worthy one, and this grant would not necessar- mum size' | ily establish a precedent, Mr, Pol- {lerd, in supporting his amendment | stated that the Council should sup- | port all of the fairs of the county more liberally, in the interests of lazricultyre, Warden Forsyth sug- [rented the granting of $500 to the Oshawa I'zir god ra!sing the grants Ito the whole county to $2,000, to be apportioned according to the prize. money paid out to each, with- out any distinction between north and south. He also reminded the council of the very hecyy expendl- tere which will have to be met this year, and opposed grenting the South Ontario Assoclation the full $1,000. Mr, Dure, Mara, support- ed the sugreston"of paying $2. 000 in grants to the county on the basis of the prize money spent, and Mr. Jackson withdrew his ori- ginal amendment and substituted one to this effect instead. How- ever, when it was voted hipon, al- though many had expressed the opinion that it wes the feirest way to apportion the money, the amend- ment was defeated and the amend- ment of Mr. Pollard then carried. The various fall fairs in the county will thus receive this year the following grants: South Onta- rio $600, North Ontario $300, Ux- bridge $250, Port Perry $250, Brock $200, Scott $175, Brook- lin $150, and Rama $150. The statutory grant of $500 was made to Mr. Croskery, Agricultural rep- resentative, and a grant of $150 was made to the South Ontario Plowmen's Association: and one of $300 to Mr. Croskery for Rural School Fairs. The members of the County Ad- visory Board on Agriculture, ap- pointed for one year, are: Scott Township, Lorne #agshaw, Ux- bridge, Charles Lee, Uxbridge; Whitby township, William Croxall, Brooklin; Thorah, Malcolm Calder, Beaverton; Scugog, Russell Hood, Seugog. 2 After a merry battle of the bal- lots, Messrs.
