Changing the Bearing Year OF Orch.
ards.
American Agriculturist.

American AgriCulluIlst'
Last year apples were so abundant
that, in some localities, they would not
pay for handling, and large quantities
were left to decay where they tell. In
view of the fact that year of excess
and low prices, Is followed by one OF
scarcity and high prices, inquiries have
come TO us in such numbers. as show
that many are considering the practica,
bl!ity OF changing this state OF affairs.
Il is an encouraging sign that farmers
are induced to thIEk about their orchard
~ all, tor rs general thing there is no
part of their belongings 50 neglected AS
this. Trees are set, but 1t is looked up
on rather as q waste OF land, 50 the
orchard must be cropped, and while no
other part OF the farm Is expected TO do
it. that occupied by the orchard must
Weld two crops The cause OF all
trouble with fruit trees, whether of failure
sthogther, or occasional excessive bear
ing, aud the rest, may De summed up IN
one word-neglect. We now conhne
our remarks TO the present trouble, and
10 answering the various inquiries
sbou! alternate bearing. The apple rec
lett to itself, will generally bear such an
abundant crop that it requires another
yesr, and sometimes longer, 10 recuper-
Ale, and accumulate sufficient nutrIneat
to form buds and nourlsh another crop.
This tendency is very marked IN some
leading varieties, and rs II mas been 60
lug on tor many years, the habit has be-
come fixed, and when we propagate
these varieties, the young trees start
with that rs one OF their pecularlties, in
which they have been educated, so as to
sueak. 1t is we'll known that this tend
ency is much more marked IN some va
rIstIes than i'll others, and while some
naturally fall into alternate bearing,
others resist it, and will, if they nave u
TAR chance, give crop or f?ult every
wear. This is charater TO which little
attention has been given BY our pomo-
loglsts; they state il n tree comes into
bearing early,--or if it is an abundant or
shy bearer, but its tendency to annual or
biennial bearing is rarely recorded,
while it is one Of the most lmportA4!
Gus .ities. Varieties that naturally bear
annually, may be converted into bien-
nisl bearers by starvation; planted, rs
thew often are on poor soil, and robbed
OF their nutrimens by anJLher crop, tne
trees cannot get food enough 20 enable
them to carry even small crop every
year, and they are forced into alternate
bearing. The practical question Is, how
can trees thai now bear excessively one
year and nothing the next, be made to
basr moderately every year
80 far rs the alternate
bearing is due to the poverty
Of the soil, the remedy is evident, and
no doubt would be. with many varieties,

WILL MATURING HELP?

Our correspondent, "Connectlcut, IN
writing us, says: IL once Knew an o!u
apple tree, an inveterate biennial bearer,
INIT WAS made 10 cnange It's habit by
breaking up the swar! in whlcn 1t stood,
and cropping it with potatoes. The swa-d
WAS heavy, and IN It's decay enriched
the ground, and besides this, the pota-
toes we're well manfred. Bat the ma
rurirg WIS not continued beyond oae
season, and the tree in few years re
Ispsed into It's old ways" We agree
with cur correspondent that tertillzing
the orchard vii! help, and in some cases
be all that is required, but that 1t Will
break up the biennial habit where II has
been fixed through many generations,
We do net believe. It's tendency will be
to strengthen it by making the crop on
the bearing year all the more excessive.
La such cases nothing Will break up the
habit but the removal Of large portion
of the fruit on the year OF abundance.
WILL IT PAY To THIN THE FRUIT!
That this severe thinning will change
the bearing year is sufficient testimony,
but there is one point on which we lack
evidence it pay? II any OF our
friends have tried thinning to induce an
nusl bearing, or 10 reverse the bearing
wear on full grown yeais, we ask IN be-
hait of many lnquirers that they will
Give their results. With young orchards
lust coming into bearing, the case is very
different, and whoever will take the
pads, and give the young trees the need
ed care, can make the orchard bear an
puslly. The education nj the trees must
bccin with their first iruiting, as the first
excessive crop, though small In l.sett,
starts the tree on the wrong track.
When the trees are young, the quantity
of fruit to be removed is small, and
all within reach Of course the cultiva-
ton of the soil must not be neglected,
but healthy growth maintained. Who
ever will start right with his orchard,
and treat it fairly, will have no reason to
complain. Among the varieties OF sp-
pies that are naturally annual bearers,
though they may be starved into bearing
biennially, or not at all, are Nandevere;
Sops of Wine; Grimes Golden, COM
para,ively new apple of great excellence;
,, Milan; Mlnk!ers', Rawles' Janet, for the
south; Benopi; Huobsrdston,. Nonsuch;
+ Domino; Highly Sweet, and English
Sweet (Ramsdells Sweet at the south).
If any of our fruit growers can add to
/, this list of annual bearers, we hope they
! will do SO.
