A Practical Fruit Grower Gives
Advice Of a Useful Nature.


In setting trees, especially the apple,
to insure free growth and success, the
following requisites are essential in
their selection:
/. See to the thriftiness of the scions,
or young trees. The bark of both
trunk and branches should be straight
and the branches well balanced.
2. Trees with bad crotches, of those
having equal division Of two branches
near the upper part OF the trunk should
always be discarded, as they will in
variably split down and ruin the tree
when loaded with fruit.
8. AS to the proper age of scions, or
trees for transplanting, those of one or
two years are old enough. They are
more apt to live and grow freely than
larger ones that have their roots much
shortened, bruised and injured in talk
ing them up, and less labor and care is
required in setting them,
4. The trees should be Stocky. Trees
crowded in nursery rows (as is often
the casa) are generally spindliGg and
slender. Discard these or take as few
as possible.
5, Trees over two years old should be
marked, and the side that grows TO the
north in setting, should be placed to that
point. The reason is plain. If the po,
sition is changed the bark has also to
undergo a change, which is detrimen-
tai to growth and health. Every far
mer knows the difference in both wood
and bark, between the north and south
sides of trees.
6. Some young nursery trees have all
their roots on one side. Such trees
will invariably topple over or careen TO
such an extent as to render them al
most worthless.
Z. Select your trees, if possible, from
the nearest reliable nursery.
AS an appendage to the above we
would remark that we have lost more
trees by sun-scald than from all others
combined. The injury is mostly to
trees from four to six years old that
lean to the northeast, caused by the
O'Clock sun in July and early in August.
The tree with exposed trunk IS blister
ed and scalded, the worms get to work,
the bark will peal off and the tree
might as we'll be removed and new
one set in its place.
Remedies: l. Low heads. >. The
protection board-Take two boards 3
feet long by s inches wide; nail the ends
together at right angles, place the up
per arm, that points to the zenith, close
mp to the trunk; put a fiat rock on the
other part or pin it to the ground with Il
cedar pin with head.
After spring planting If the trees are
exposed to high winds, place fiat rocks
around their stems, and no stalking is
necessary.
