Look to your Apple Trees.

! many parts of the country, apple
trees yield II crop of furit only every
alternate year, the year represented
ia ." = e..,,;tc,.l .
In other places orchard lear every
year. Some trees will produce II
boWl&ful crop. Two seasons are
required to produce II crop of apples:
that is during one scasOu the fruit
buds are developed, and during the
next the fruit. All the vital cner-
glcs OF some trees are employed
during one season to develop the
fruit buds then the ycur following
their entire vitality seems to- spent
in developing the fruit without suf
ticicnt force being left to form fruit
buds for the crop of the next season.
Now IN order To- induce am apple
tree To bear every season, climb IN
to the top, or 20 up ladders Just n
one does when picking thcripc fruit.
and with II pair of sharp shears clir
oil all the young fruit from about
half the tree. Then fruit bud, will
form ON that side of the tree from
which the young apples were cut OF.
One half the top then will bear fruit
one year while the other half will
yield fruit the next season.
