' 110W.1 PRUNE.MY'FRU1T TREES By E. L'Earrington. I have always.been obliged to econe- omize on labor and so have hed t,o dis- obey ntany of the rules laid down by expert ;horticulturists on the proper method and -time of pruning my trait trees. Undoubtedly March and April are the best pruning months, but I am obliged to do the work when opportns nity offers. Usually: I find more time in the.earlsi-and middle winter months than I do jot preceding the rush of spring work. I' therefore take ad-, vantage of any fine days to trim and pritne my orchard, , In this climate it is desirable to s keep the heads of the bearing trees y open to admit the sunlight freely. 'ahis aim I purposely keep in ,rnind all the One I am at work upon the trees. • Wherever rfind limbs that crosa and rub eaele other I first re. _ move one or both of such limbs. Dead wood and branches that MISS, signslof blight 'arc also takea out at the first cutting.; Tho other types of branches are :undesirable; the first of these is the shoots that stick up straight in the air, and the °that' is poi'allel As many of such .hranchesaro taken out as the tree ought to have removed. This brings up anotber matter wherein My prat:Hee differs front that af many of my neighbors. They usu- ally permit their trees to go un- pruned for a nurnbar Of seasons and then they take -out ; a very large quantity of wood at a single pruning. My practice is quite the opposite; I do some /matting in each tree every year. - I think this practiee is less likely to -throw the trees out Of bal- ance and, discourage fruit bearing un- til tho trees -can recover. .I have a fd.tv old trees, however, that were in bad shape and with these I did some heavy trinuning with the idea of get- ting thern back into bearing eondition.' This resulted in the growth of a con-' siclerable number of water sprouts and thee( have been kept down each S0435011 since WC did hoary pruning. My„ewn experience:1nd what I have heard other fruit growers say, lead me to think that this is a good pro. gram. to follow with the old trees as the heavy cutting starts a riVOT vigor - oils growth which ie kept under- con- trol by eubsequeet annual In coromoti with most careful fruit geowers 1 meke thee cuts as nearly parallel with the trunk or main branch of the tree as poosible. Whore a large limb is *moved 1 firat SW it off 807SO distance from the think, making an under cut so as to prevent the shi-pping of the Mak who the limb fail1. 'The remaining stub is afterwards siesiered by ,reakieg aerallel mit as statecl above. isiiimaleassamags. There has been a -greats, deal of argument among us farmers as to the advantage 'of painting the wounds. I took occasion- tolook this point up as carefully as I could and found that the:practice- Was a questionable ono to...fallow. A bulletin from the New York Experiment Station et Geneve gives some interesting couelusions front experiments conclueted there. Many materials, including whine lead, -white zinc, yellow ochre, coal_ tar, shellac and carbolineum, were used in those experiments, but not a single one Was found to be of any benefit. In every case untreated,Wounds made as quick recovery as did those that grere treated. In most instances the supposedly helpful covering injured the exposed tissues and aethally re- tarded healing, M:oeebver, wound kept from drying by some of these protectiVe materials healed no more rapidly then thos.e exposed to the air. • Of the different materials men - ;Honed above, evhite leed, evitite zinc and shellac caused little or nos injury, Int they,did no good. It was decid- ed that no gain whatever accrued from the treating: of small wounds 211)371 that there was a possible' ad • vantage in the eat* of :larger wounds in keeping out disease germs until the healing hadsbeen completed. As 7 have a great deal of faith in the work of this :dation, I naturally accepted this advice and discontinued the painting of the tv.00nda when pruning. The saving in labor was. certainly worth evitil-e. I believe that many of the bad spots in trees caused frown .decetys spirting Where cuts have been no -de could h b , . more care hail been taken in snaking smooth clean cuts. This is the rea- son why I use shop tools. We occaeioaally have a winter when the yoeng• taees are damaged by the mice "atid rabbit$ girdling the trunlem. This damage occurs when these ani-. ands ave cut off trent their u sual food supplies by heavy snows and ice.
