A MORNING fAXTT.

SCRAPING BARK FROM TREES
FOR THKLMA.
Eighteen small children gathered
at the home of Mrs. Rex Tyres on
Saturday morning of last week to
join Thelma in merry making on her
sixth birthday. A number of little
gifts were made, but by far the
greater gift was the presence of the
children themselves as they all join-
ed in the games of the morning.
Mrs. Tynes had spared no pains to
make her home pretty and attractive
for tnis little party., A color scheme
of yellow and white was used in the
dining room, the center of the table
being graced by the birthday cake
lighted by six yellow tapes. Dainty
refreshments of fruit gelatine and
cake were served.
In Case of Ordinary Healthy Treo
Treatment Is Advocator by Ponor
oytvanla Zoologist.
As to the advllability of icraplii#
rough or shaggy bark from apple
trees, the state soelogtst of Pennsyl-
vania has the following to aay:
This depend* upon the condlttone
In general. I advise such treatment,
especially tor rough, scaly bark on
old treee; bat if It bo bark that hae
been roughened by the Injurious ac-
tion of soil sprays, or by burning
with fire or boom.' other injury, I am
satisfied it would be wrong, because
this is the tender bark beneath just
what a scab of an animal Is to a sore
which tt Is protecting.
Therefore, If the bark beneath be
tender, so that It would be Injured
by being scraped. It Is best not to do
It In the case of an ordinary healthy
tree It Is certainly best, but at Injured
places, such as abovo mentioned. It le
advisable to scrape gently, if at all.
On an old tree one cannot apply
enough preesuiw with a short-handled
hoe or bark scraper to do any Injury,
and thla will remove many In sent
pests, such aa coddling moth, woolly
aphis and certain hibernating area
turee, and expose scale insects and
other pests to the action of the weath-
er, and of the insecticides to bo ap-
plied before the leaves appear.

TEXAS NEEDS
GREAT MEN

HE GREEKS loved beauty, but ugliness gave them a pain

and widened the horizon of human happiness, and the lives of

marvelous achievement which have encouraged and inspired the
world.
There is no nobler deed tfean to plant in the garden of civiliza-
tion flowers that will blush and bloom and shed their fragrance
to future generations.

aight foil of stars. Texas Needs Great Men.
