Every Community " Should Destroy All Old Trees e opening ot a sDrtnr driva tn removs all worthless old trees which serve as breeding places for Insect pests should be launched at an early date befors the spring work begins.

Old trees are generally non-productive of any fruit of commercial value and yet they are proline producers of coddling moth, scale, red "spider and other pest .-life which menaces -the commercial orchard. These trees occupy oc-cupy choice garden spots and city lots to the exclusion of prolific young jtreea which could produce valuable fruits. ' "The department of agriculture lias power under the law to compel removal re-moval of these trees and degnite In structions have been given to agri cultural inspectors to destroy all trees which the owners have refused to voluntarily cut down. The latter procedure will be expensive ex-pensive and result in considerable annoyance and .it , w.UL he resorted to only in cases where the owners have not acted voluntarily. "With these old "trees removed the problem of controlling the coddling moth and other insect pests will be greatly simplified, made much less expensive and yet more effective, and at the same time will insure better fruit crops, being placed In the niaH ket at a better price to the grower. .... . 0 Gold and Green Ball ' Most Elaborate and U ' Artistic Affair The most elaborate and artistic social event of the season was the Gold and Green Ball held under the. auspices of the M.
