LoW-HEADED TREES BEST.
A System of Trimming Which Is Be
coming Popular on Account of
Its Many Advantages.

The Southern Agriculturist gives the
following reasons for the trimming of
fruit trees to develop low head:
1t might be difficult to state Just
which is the most important The
great saving of expense and the great
er ease and comfort in gathering the
fruit is certainly an important one.
Another is the greater convenience
in spraying, pruning and thinning
fruit. Again, If an apple drops to the
ground it is not ruined by the fall
Another great gain, and perhaps the
greatest advantage Of all when the
life of the tree is considered, is the
protection given to the roots from the
hot sun in summer. Trees thus pro-
tected make a better growth. and seem
more healthy, and | believe, will en-
dure much longer.
There is one other advantage to be
derived from this low training and
! shading. II IS the effect on the growth
of the branches. They being always
shaded AID so near the ground. it
causes the under side of the branch to
make thicker group every year, there
| by causing a more upright growth. II
one should cut off one of these branches
and examine the cut he will find that
| the heart is much nearer to the upper
side or above the center, and rings
showing the annual growth will be
| much further apart at the under side,
| whereas, If branch is cut from a tree
| with a high head and long trunk
| Clover branch) it will be found that
the heart is growing in more horizon
| tai direction. Such branches, when
laden with fruit, are much more like
| ly to bend down to the ground than
| those which start near the ground and
! grow more uprightly. One can there
| fore cultivate more conveniently
| among the low headed trees than he
can among the higher and more spread
| ing heads.

"Dry Dust" for SPRAYING.

Mr.. l.. A. Goodman stated recently

had been testing the merits of dust

Improvement over the old liquid form
yet he had seen fit to use it, exclusively
on an orchard of over 400 trees. Thor.
oughness seemed to be the keynote to
success. AS to the dust he pro-
nounced it safe. cheap, easily applied
and no water hauling necessary. His
formula is as follows: Lime, 20 pounds;
paris green, one pound; dry Bordeaux
one pound; sulphur. one pound; con-
centrated I've, pulveriZed, one pound

You say you sold John Jones ap-

is true, my friend, but they were worth
$1.00 per barrel less in our market

cellence set off by style. That is why
the fruit from sunny valleys Of
the far west outsells the best selec-
lions of the middle west. 1t may not
have more intrinsic merit, but it has
style.
Quality pays. Choose your varieties
wisely; take pains with your orchard
treatment. Study the market needs;
but above all cultivate style in fruit
packing and package, and when to
this style you add quality. you have a
combination that will sell your fruit
at prices that will often surprise you.

the comforts they might enjoy from
farm life if they would only make their
