FIRST STRAVDERRIES ; APPEAR ON MARKET

Prohibitive Price Puts Them

in Luxury Class Green Staff Plentiful. Greea regetables are appearing on tho local market In larger quantitiea as the southern growing aeasos advances. Prices remain very reasonable. Oreen peas and beans, almost as fresh as the home-grown kind, raddishes, green onions, carrots, beets and lettuce offer about the same selection as the home market gives in June. A few strawberries have been been received here, but the price of 60 to 60 cnta a quart, puts them In the luxury class, and there is very little demand for themT"' - Tne quality of apples offered is not as good as a month ago, and some of the poorer keeping varieties have lost their flavor. Fresh eggs are becoming more plentiful, and the price has dropped to 30 cents a dozen, and will go lower in a short time. Butter remains the same, selling at 35 and 38 cents a pound, with a good demand for the fresh country article. The price of poultry has not changed, but the supply is shorter than two months ago, as most of the small chickens have been sold, and farmers will not sell hens at this time of year.

Sermone tte on Tree Pruning

This is a good time of the year to begin clean-up work in the orchard. This can be accomplished with little shock to the tree at this season. In orchards that have been caretbe trimming will largely consist of taking out dead wood and broken branches and twigs. But in the neglected orchard there will be many branches that, must come out. This should be done before the sap begins to flow so that the larger wounds may heal over. In cleaning up these trees, the purpose of pruning should be kept in mind. For the proper production of

f fruit the tree must have a free circu

lation of air and sunlight, and to this end the pruning should be done so that the centers of the trees will be opened from above. Prune so as to spread the trees out and keep them headed low rather than to train them

! tall and slender. I Make Clean Cuts. All the cuts should be made clean

and parallel to the branch or trunk. Do not leave stubs, as the bark peels away from them and does not heal over the surface. Do not trim off all the little clusters of twiga and fruit spurs on the body of the trunk and larger limbs. If unmolested they will bear the finest

i fruit. The larger wounds should be painted over with boiled linseed oil and white ! lead to prevent bleeding.
