No. 2 Before one can hope to regul- ate intelligently the fruit bearing of trees, it is necessary to under- stand something of the nature of plants in all organisms there are at present two opposite and con- flicting tendencies. Thlereto, first- ly, the tendency towards physical 4Iev'eiopment or vegetative growth. In ,plants, the vigor of physical de- ✓ 'elopment'depends upon the de- gree of .activity of the roots, as it is the function of the root sys tem to supply the moisture and raw material out of which tissues are manufactured, There is, se- condly, .the tendency towards re- • production -the individual per- petuating itselt"�. while a tree fe young, the roots are very active, and .strong growth is the result. As maturity is approached -and mabturity is simply the stage at which physical vigor begins to de- cline -the top and root come into a state of equilibruimt or "balance." It is not until this condition is approached that the process of re- production can begin; Previous to this time, the top continues to increase in size im neeponse to the activity of the root, but now it begins to develop fruit buds, blossoms and fruit, The function of the top is, primarily, to be- come the means of reprodbetion. The leaves transform the raw ena- tertals +funnighedi by the roots in- to material which. can be used for the direct manulfacture of wood- 'titsaue, le'a(f-tissue, or the tis - ,sues of the reproductive parts. ' The products of leaf activity are principally starch and sugar. These are used in all portions of the plant for growth purposes, and, If produced in excess of growth re- quirements, are stoned up, to be drawn upon as required. It ispro bable. that stored food must be present in considerable quan- tity before fruit buds will be de- veloped). The purposeof pruning le to assist in creating and maentaining the proper balance between root and top. It is possible, by prun- ing, to accelerate vegetative grow th, if desired, and it is also pod- sible, in cases where growth is ex- cessive, to check it, and cause de- velopment of fruit buds. Pruning the top in the dormant season re- duces the proportion of top to root, and is known to result in -''$,;increased vigor of growth, On the contrary, pruning the top in the growing 'season checks growth by interfering with the manrufac'tlelie of food material, thereby reduc- ing the quantity available, for grow th the followin gsetson Other er moans of checking exnes'sive veg- etative e - etative growth re root pruning, which directly reduces the quan- tity of raw material taken in;g:rcl ling, which nourishes the top al the expense (Of the root; and 'dwarfing, which starves a tree by growing it on a restricted root system. cto.

Pruning to increase vigor of growth may be necessary in the; case of young trees, but in most. cases the desir1ed increase in slue can be, best secured by cultivation or fertilizing, or both. Winter pruning of young trees should mot be carried 'farther than is \ne- cessary: in order to secure proper form.- It anust be borne in -mind that strong growth is opposed- .to limit bearing, and ,severe Minter pruning consequently tends to de- lay the 'fruiting period. As a rule, early bearing means shortlifre, and while itis not advisable to ,allow trees to bear too early, it as cer- tainly not advisable, in the ma- bority of cases, to delay fruit earing longer than is necessary. Spring pruningg, as ordinarily practised, lundoubtedly has the effect of increasing gierieral phy-, sical vigor. It may also have the effect of causing fruit to set,. A well-careld-(for tree 'may produce too many 'fruit 'buds, in which case a large part of the (energy of the tree may be expended in the seemingly simple act of ;expanding the buds into blos'domq. A tree may actually exhaust itself in this wayto ouch an extent that set- tingt of fruitis prevemtec't. It? •its. not ,generally recognizled that large quantities of .energy, in the form of heat, are given off in the process or unfolding leaves and blossoms, but observations have proven that such is the caste. A thermometer platted in the centre of a tree in full blossom will in calm weather registrar appreciably higher than one outside of the Pruning to increase vigor of growth may be necessary in the case of diseasled or decrepit trees;, and unhealthy treses can some- times be revived by severe win- ter pruning. Trees which overbear may be pruned for the double pur- pose of • thinning the fruit and increasing) vigor of growth. A variety such as Wealthy, which bears very ,heavily every other year, should (.be, • severely pruned the spring previous to the hear- ing year. This thins" thefruit and. tends co the production of fruit buds and wood for the following year's bearing. If the pruning is done previous to the non-bearing year, growth is stimulated, and the tendency to bear ip alternate years is exaggerated, instead of 1esf(elnled.• Old, n(e'glecten, trees can be invigorated by seviereprun ing in the 'dormant season, which extends up to the time the trees have developed some little quan- tity of leaf surface. The removal previous to that data of a por- tion of the top means a propor- tionate increase in the stored fruit supply, as well as in the root area, and a proportionately strong er growth in cons'equende< Prun- ing after that date checks growth, by reducing the leaf area, arid may result in the, production of fruit buds, This explains thestate merit that "June pruning produc- es Illruit.lr With some trees, the, dormant season extends to the period si full blossom, or even later, depending on thle degree of development or the assompanying leaf surface. , So far as the healing of wounds is concerned, the best time for pruning 15 just previous ito the beginniltlg, of active 'growth, al- though the matter is not import- ant,except in northern districts or in the case of large wounds. Eva- poration of moisture from- wounds made in winter is, 0, frequen(t source of injury in districts where low temperatures are experienced. It is probable that 'the drying -out is more dangerous than the actual degree of cold reached, and it may be prevented by covering with grafting wax or paint made from white lead or oil 'Phis treatment also prevents decay of the ex- posed ' wood, and may result in keeping the tree sound and heal- thy for many ' years longer than would otherwise be true case. Wounds one or near the trunk should receive particular attention at alt times, as trees aro likely to suffer very seriously through -de- cay and disease at those points. In removing large branches, or tranches !which arise near ,the trunk, it is always well to avoid. leaving 'stubs, - Make the cut close to the parent branch or close to the point from which (another branch arises.This will facilitate healing, A sall stub left in the outer ,portion of the trefe ies, not. likely to cause damagre, ,although smooth work is always deslirablee;.
