We continue to be amazed at the sight of brown barren trees and the lush carpet of green grass because we are na- tive Nebraskans. In the Midwest the landscape is either brown and white (snow) or green. Do you realize how fortunate we are in Northern Califor- nia to have some portion of the landscape green all year long? I have bloom- ing geraniums and core- opsis right now. This is the perfect time of year to start the prun- ing rotations. I have a large number of plants that require pruning here at our property. I now know from living here two years that we need to rotate our pruning. The dormant oak trees are first. We actively main- tain the 100 foot defen- sible space fire perime- ter and make certain no tree branches are above the deck or roof. Then it is time to prune the grapes, the red tip pho- tinias and lastly the ap- ples, plums, lemons, limes and grapefruits. Those are my pruning rotations here at 1000' elevation in the foothills west of Red Bluff. I have no house plants but I do prune my hot pink geraniums all year long and they are do- ing a great job of creating bountiful and cheerful blooms and nectar for the hummingbirds that lin- ger here over the winter. I love outdoor geraniums- what a treat to have them bloom all year. Pruning is a necessary and vital part of many plants. Basi- cally there are six reasons you may need to prune a plant: 1. The health of a plant is improved. By removing dead portions or suckers, the plant is able to direct its energy to the healthy portion and may improve growth. 2. Controlling new growth. Pruning allows you the opportunity to train or create an arbor or hedge or strengthen the core of the plant. 3. Prevention of dis- ease. It is one way to re- move a disease that may be transferred to the rest of the plant. 4. The plant will be able to increase the num- ber, quality and amount of flowers or fruits of the plant. 5. The naturally oc- curring weakness of the plant can be corrected. 6. Pruning creates a vi- sually appealing struc- ture. There some compli- cation regarding prun- ing. You must determine which, when and why you are pruning. Different plants require different optimal times for prun- ing. Some want prun- ing in the winter months, some need fall or spring pruning. Some garden- ers (myself) prune some vegetables in the sum- mer months for vari- ous reasons. Most plants benefit from pruning to some degree if done cor- rectly. One important tip- It is vital to keep your pruning equip- ment sharp and clean. We have many tools used for pruning and my hus- band (how fortunate for me) loves to sharpen all blades. I highly recom- mend you refer either to the internet or books to learn how and when to prune your plants. Per- sonally, I prefer U-tube videos from the inter- net for research on prun- ing. There are many vid- eos made from nurseries, orchards, university agri- cultural schools and tool manufacturers that are excellent guides for ev- ery type of plant. My per- sonal best style of learn- ing is by watching. For example, one of the plants I prune each spring is red tip photinia. I prune them to keep them at the same height and to prevent the spread of a disease which can kill the plants. This pruning requires that the equipment be wiped clean with alcohol after each cut to prevent the spread of this leaf spot fungus. This important detail was acquired from an ar- ticle from an agricultural school and has proven quite effective. It is for- tunate that I actually love to prune with all the plants here which need it. I do not love gathering up the trimmings and tak- ing them to the burning pit. I am especially grate- ful when my husband in- variably shows up to help and to nip my prun- ing frenzy in the bud. Our next meeting of the Red Bluff Garden Club is at 12:30 p.m. Jan. 26 in the Union Hall at 12889 Baker Road. The pro- gram will be presented by Jill Crez, "Shrubs Herbal Beverages." This is a very friendly eclectic group of gardeners that love to share their knowl- edge. Please join us.

RED BLUFF GARDEN CLUB Basictipsforbetterpruning LOS MOLIONS Bad blood has existed for some time between section foreman W. J. Black and one of his crew, an Italian name F. Mecina. Yesterday morn- ing the men quarreled and Mecina was dis- charged. While Black was stooped over making out the discharged man's time, Mecina attacked him with a shovel, beating him about the head and arms until the foreman was al- most helpless. Black fi- nally seized the shovel, and Mecina released it, and seizing a rock, hit the foreman a blow on the head that knocked him un- conscious, and cut a great gash in his forehead. Some of the section crew started to interfere with Mecina and he threat- ened them and held them at bay, as he did likewise a number of men from Los Molinos who were at- tracted to the scene of the assault. Finally local S. P. Agent P. G. Simpson ap- peared and placed a gun against Mecina's belt and told him to surrender. The Italian then threw down his weapon and permitted Simpson to handcuff him. The fight occurred close to the Diamond Match company yard, just as southbound passen- ger train No. 21 pulled in, and great excitement was created among the pas- sengers, some of whom thought the section fore- man was killed. His inju- ries, which were dressed by Dr. J. H. Belyea, are painful, but not danger- ous. — Jan. 21, 1916 100 YEARS AGO...
