PRUNING IS VERY NECESSARY WORK Instead of being satisfied with a shabby neglected orchard producing mostly scabby wormy fruit which can- not be relished by the family oor sold to advantage, the farmer can manage bis orchard so that his home will be abundantly supplied with clean, sound, wholesome fruit from September until late spring and-to addition the surplus wilt find a market at fair prices. To accomplish these results it be- comes necessary that the farmer adopt the orchard practices in use by suc- cessful orchardlsts. Pruning Is necessary as a means of reducing the number of cull fruits in the crop. This is accomplished partly by removing many of the badly shade.! and crowded branches making very little growth. This kind of wood can- not bear large apples. Most of the large apples grow on strong growing branches which have abundant access to light and air. Ordinarily, bearing trees are apt to become dense in the upper parts of the tree, thus shading all branches below it. This must be regulated by opening the top of the tree. Remove upright parts of branches at a place where another part of the branch grows to the out- side of the tree. Attend your local pruning demonstrations and learn how /to prune for better size and color or fruit. Trees must be fertilized regularly if best results are to be obtained. Oa the average farm, stable manure is available and should be used for orchard fertilization. If it is not ap- plied in the fall of the year chances are that the work is delayed until win- ter oc. spring and no application made. «*• Mulch for Strawberries Gives Good Protection A mulch for strawberries is desir- able in nearly all sections. Strawber- ries are very shallow-rooted and much damage from alternate freezing anil thawing is likely to result unless there is a protective covering. Mulching is also desirable because it saves soil moisture, prevents the soil from bak- ing and aids in weed control. In the spriug it tends to keep berries clean and to inake picking easier, says Suc- cessful Farming. Straw and hay are the most common mulching materials, though cornstalks, pine needles and strawy manure are Mttmes used. The material should be cheap, not easily shifted by winds and free from weed seeds. The time of apP |ica tionjjj|g vary with the climate. In c^jp^ections it is desirable to wait untiltTie ground well frozen. In sections where win- ters are mild and many fall freezes occur it Is best not to wait until severe weather occurs. Uniform mulching is desirable but when mate- rial is scarce the area over the plants should receive first attention. A rather light mulching will be ample sinve the mulch need only prevent abrupt changes. - Woolly Aphis Injurious to Young Apple Trees Woolly aphis attacks young apple trees both on the roots underground and on the branches and twigs above ground. Above ground it i& easy to control the insect by spraying with nicotine sulphate 1 part to 800 parts of water. High pressure should b« used ia order to drive the material into the woolly masses. The material must be brought into contact with the insects' bodies if it is to kill them. it is not an easy matter to tlestroy the insects beneath the ground. Some persons report they have controlled the insect by digging away the earth for several inches, then distributing tobacco dust over the roots and cover- ing with soil. Others have reported success from injecting carbon bisul- phide in holes punched in the ground about the trees and then tiliing the holes. The bisulphide is quire volatile, and the fumes in spreading, througn the soil kill the insects as lliey are reached. Since the material is quite inflammable, one should not smoke when applying it. Planting Windbreak Do not plant windbreaks too close to the buildings. The ideal way is to have space for the garden and small fruit plantation between It and the house. Where sj)ace is limited, of course, conditions 'will determine oth- erwise sometimes, but abom^KJ feet from the buildings i.« about rl^bJ^ A temporary windbreak of soft maple or golden willow would live long enough so that in the meantime the ever- greens would grow and get a ti\Mt start. Trimming Trees In trimming trees, it ehouid be re- membered there are two kinds of cells, fruit and wood cells. One kind of cell will predominate »t the ex- pense of the. other. If you are plan- ning to grow fruit, eliminate the W««MI cells, or if you are developing the tree, eliminate the fruit ceils, {tranchea larger than a fiO-ceni piece thnt an* cut should be covered with paint to fill up the wound. Where ttves hav«* a weakness on one side, careful prun- ing will mnke it shape up. Preparing Sprays Much trouble In spraying can be avoided If sprays are carefully pre- pared. One of the main pretnutl«»n>« to observe Is to mix all ii*vn.Hilt*iit»% thoroughly. It I?
