boys clubs giving the c
rect information in preparing
the seed beds also giving great
caution as to pure seed and seed
that would be sure to germinate
thereby preventing the loss of
lands cultivated by having full'
stands and bringing the yields
up ip the maximum lie also
gave pruning exhibits Jn many
orchards- which is so - essential
in growing perfect and market-
able fruits and aiding the trees
to become more perfect in their
bearing of onlythe best The
days of just setting out fruit
trees and let them tight their way
out with the weeds is being pass-
ed in Choctaw county as the
growers are being taught by this
pruning process that fruit trees
for value and profit have to have
extensive cultivation and atten-
tion just the same as other fruit
and profit bearing plants also
stock and poultry He has had to
visit also hog 'and cattle herds
and treat them for different dis-
ease and never fails tp stop ti e
