fruitful orchard likewise grows thrifdly
These questions are answered by cor
respondent of the Rural NesV Yorke,
as follows;
If we could solve the reasons for this
Ill behavior, and ascertain what treat
ment would correct it, the information
would be- worth thousands of dollars
| yearly to the apple growers Nc doubt
many orchards on rich, deep soil make
| wood too fast ct first. sometimes think
il is a habit which the tree acquires by
being forced to grow fast when young,
and il is not easily put off when mature
age comes on. 1t is the usual custom to
prune in the spring, and this only causes
a greater wood growth by forcing the SAP
into fewer channels. Trees that pro
duce too much wood, and, as a conse-
quence, little fruit, should be pruned in
midsummer, when the foliage is full. as
this weakens its fun wood growth. 1t is
also highly probable that root pruning
might be of great advantage. This can
be readily done by digging a trench
around the tree at the proper distance to
cut one quarter or third of the root
growth.
The best cultvatoT ever put into an
orchard when it had come to bearing
age is hog. No cultivator tooth or
subsoil plow ever equalled bis unwrung
snout. That device of his for loosening
the soil without materially harming the
most delicate root fibers of the tree, at the
same time catching the worms and grubs
in the earth and fallen apples, would be
worth fortune to any man If he could
only get a patent on it.
i know an orchard which bore marvel |
ously; it was on good soil, protected by |
forest on the north and west the trees |
had low, open and spreading heads; it was |
annually pruned after the foliage had |
come, and drove of hogs was kept In 1t |
through the summer. The farm changed |
hands, and the new proprietor turned out |
the hogs and put in the plow; he also
pruned early in the spring. The yield of
apples fell off at once, and since has been
hardly up to the average of second-class
orchards.
Whatever cause diminishes the vigor of
a tree, tends TO throw it into bearing.
Aim blow at the existence of the indi- |
Vidual, and straightway 1t puts forth an
effort to bear fruit and perpetuate its
kind. A tree in young orchard which
bore fruit very sparingly, was attacked
by the borer, and before the neglect of
its owner let it die, it produced fair
crop of fruit. Its companions continued
barren. In an orchard
fonr or five years set, (too32aung to bear,)
some trees were injured by mice, all
slightly save one, and that was complete
" giriled. Its owner bridged the spot
where the bark was wanting by inserting |
cions, and the sap flowed ON its course
1nce more, though in a diminished
stream. Blossoms put forth and fruit
formed, which wisely, howeHsr, was re-
moved, and the tree grew well. l.
Let owners of thrifty growing but nom
bearing orchards, experiment with root
md midsummer pruning, and report re-
suits. |.
