Those three overtime per’ iods the Shelton Pirates played before losing a hair-raising ver- dict to Foster Motors of Olympia in Southwest Independent league basketball play would get a lot of nominations, although only a handful of spectators actually saw it. The city basketball league could offer a half dozen, and that 40-32 victory Shelton posted over Ray- mond in S. W. prep hoop play would get strong backing.

Snyder, extension horticulturist, State Col- lege of Washington. He explains that the leaves of a tree are the factories in which the mineral elements and carbon. dioxide are united through theI process of photosynthesis and made into starches and sugars—— the elements which make up the fruit. Leaves are also the fac- tories which produce the growth tissue which makes up the stems, bark, leaves and other parts of the tree. Under normal conditions. a tree has a sufficient number of leaves ,to produce new growth and to produce fruit. If too many of these leaves are cut off, both the normal growth and the capacity of the tree to produce fruit are re- duced. The other extreme—equally as harmful—is no pruning at all. If a. tree is not pruned enough, it may produce so much fruit that it will overtax the leaves. That is, the leaves will be unable to support the amount of fruit pro- duced, and as a result. the tree will be weakened, and it may go into alternate bearing. Or, if it is a. shade tree, the foliage will become so thick that the inside twigs will die—choked out by the dense growth on the outside. Late winter——January or Feb— ruary—is a better time of year to prune than early winter be- cause injuryoften results from early pruning, Dr. Snyder says. This is especially true When the trees'haven’t become fully dor- mant. This injury shows up in ‘the form of die-back, beginning at the points where the cuts are made. things” two—game margin over L.
