We notice that more people are trimming
back their shade trees this year than ever before.
This should be. Weesache trees should not be
allowed to go over two years without trimming
back. If they are trimmed every two years they
will bear but little. When allowed to bear a
crop of beans, the beans are so heavy they bend
the limbs frequently and should a wind occur
at this time, the limbs are easily twisted off and
the tree ruined. By keeping the tree trimmed
it grows a sturdy trunk and within a few months
after it is trimmed grows into a beautiful tree.
Keep the Weesache trees trimmed.

DOLEFUL NOTE.
An exchange says that the biggest trust
on earth is the country newspaper. It trusts
everybody, gets cussed for trusting, mistrusted
for cussing, and if it busts for trusting gets
cussed for busting. There is but one way to
bust this trust—pay your subscription.
