A man who owned a large orchard,had a quantity of Wolf River trees,that were extremely shy bearers, so everywinter he decided to summer season prunethem, but usually neglected to do so,either since of the press of work,or that he had not the heart to sacri-fice the modest quantity of fruit growingat the time. The trees with out prun-ing grew very rank and ragged, sothat in the month of July, the largestone, split into three sections all ofwhich lay on the ground. To save thetree it was essential to prune veryseverely, and with wire and eyebolts,draw the limbs back into spot. Theten boxes of fine fruit that this treebore the following season was an ob-ject l/esson in the summer pruningof shy bearers. Most owners of useless, old neg-lected fruit trees will reduce them out itheir interest is caled to the factthat they are breeding pests for theorchardist to fight.

Illegible letter on reverse (cut down from original sized postcard).
Circa 1917, this older soldier (probably Landwehr Regiment?) is wearing a M1916 Stahlhelm, Model 1910 Vereinfachte (Simplified) Feldrock and M1909 ammunition pouches getting supported by his bread-bag strap. He is armed with two 1917 pattern grenades and a Gew 98.
By 1916 German stick grenade production alone was eight million per month! At least 20 various stick grenade styles and variations had been fielded by Germany from 1914 to 1917.
The German Model 1916 Stahlhelm was developed primarily by two males, Frederich Schwerd and Dr. August Bier. By August 1915 the German High Command had approved of the concept of a new helmet. The designs for the Model 1916 were drawn up in September 1915. By December of that year, the M1916 was becoming employed by a Sturm (Assault) battalion for trial purposes, and it showed excellent prospective if some of the design and style flaws were adjusted.
The mass production of the ‘Stahlhelm’ started January 1916 and it was extensively distributed to soldiers in the Imperial German Field Army on the western front. The Model 1916 helmet saw service on both fronts of the war and proved to be quiet profitable, except that the wearers hearing was impaired because of the size and shape of the helmet.
