Practical Pruning Demonrtrmtion* a

The broadcast notification which was sent to all fruit grown a asking them to bring their shears and do aotne actnal work found e high percentage of fruit growers ready to meet the challenge. The meetings were attended by €0 people. Charles Howell’s peach orchard at Dias Creek was the first orchard tackled. A tree la this orchard was pruned last year by the Fruit Specialist and Mr. Howell said he took eleven basketr of fine from It aa against ee hls adjoining trees. At Jacob Lintner's vineyard at Woodbine the double-arm Kntffeo system was used on his grapes If these who were not fortunate enough to see this work done would go to the Untner Vineyard they can get first hand Information by obaervatlon.

eon's financial assistance. Recently he offered his note to buy the son a car. that he could obtain a better position In Ocear City. In an Interview the dead man's sister. Cinderella Gifford, stated. "I cannot believe my father's statement. We had a quarrel on that day but that Isn't unusual, for Will waa always irritable when he drank. Aftei we returned home I helped Dad un drees. He and Rachcel went to bed together. After they retired a few neighbors dropped in. until about 10 P. M. Rachael arose, partially dressed and helped to entertain the riattora. After they had gone I tucked the youngster In beside her grandfather, who was sleeping soundly. Dad' clothes I bad put around the stove t dry the dampness of the anow. About 3 o'clock. I believe U waa. I arose to put some wood on the fire which is kept burning to prevent the potatoes from freexlng. 1 went In and tucked the covers around Rachael. Dad still alesping. I waa nervous from the quarrel with my brother, and T do not think I slept all night. When I arose I fonnd Dad'a clothes In the identical same spot aa they were left the night before. After breakfast Dad said he w«a going to Woodbine, two miles away, and see Will

while he waa there.

"I cannot believe he could have gotten up in the middle of the night without dlaturblng me. and besides a walk of four miles through the snow with boots on would take considerable longer than he stated. I simply

know what to think.”

The father’s statement to County Prosecutor corresponds with the original confession to Justice J. 8. Levin, of Woodbine, with the exception of a few minor details. In an Interview Dr. Randolph Marshall. of Tuckahoe. stated: “I* ael Gifford, who lived In the vldnity of Steelman town for the past seventyfive years, was employed by mj father-in-law, Ex-Sheriff Anthony Steelman, for over forty years. Upon hls death I employed him in th* same Position, superintendent of a cranberry bog. A more conscientious and honest msn I never knew. He is trustworthy, rational and is of tainted character." He refuse, press any opinion on the case. Gifford will be tried at Court House In April.

OCKAN CITY—

Ocean City High School's baseball ■sera won't bs of championship calibre this coming season Judging frtsn

the present outlook.

With George Gardiner, the veteran catcher of the maroon and while nines for the past few seasons, lost indefinitely owing to Injuries received while playing football last fall, and Scott Adams, the pitching mainstay in poor shape, little U expected In the way of the shore tossers innexlng the Cape May County scholastic baseball tIUe this season Thare are possibilities that John Dennis, former veteran shortstop

with the Bomsra Point and Ocean City Baseball Cluba. may coach the maroon and white acboolooys this season. Dennis Is one of the best versed baseball players at the seashore and would make good aa coach of the resort high school team. Who will take Gardiner's place behind the bat Is one of the most Important problems confronting the maroon and white coaches. Gardiner was one of the mosi dependable backstop* that ever wore the maroon and white of Ocean City High School, and hU. absence will greatly weaken

the nine.

However, there are strong poaalbilitlrs that Phil Kutcher. who captained the shore high school gridiron eleven lest fall may be switched from third base lo behind the bat. leaving the hot corner vacant. Kutchw. before he waa sent to the third sack, was s utility performer, pitching silsrnately. playing in the outfisld and also doing the receiving • hen Gardiner we* unable to don the mask and mlt.
