LOw-HEADED FRUIT TREES.

LOWHEADED FRUIT TREES.
While there may be some objections
to the recent plan OF trimming back
trees Of orchards so that they will
head low, the main objection being
that it is somewhat difficult TO cult
vate close to them, they are offset by
the advantages in other ways OF work
ing with them. This is essentially so
since spraying and thinning has be-
come so necessary TO the best results.
There is no doubt but what the low
headed tree may be more easily and
economically sprayed than the tall tree.
not that the fruit is more easily
gathered; also, there is less trouble
with sun-scald, because Of the protec-
tion afforded by the lOw-spreading
branches. Growers should bear this
method in mind when setting out trees
this fall, for tho first step in making
lOw-headed trees must be done when
the trees are set. Cut them back
sharply when setting. and the follow
ing season, as the lateral branches are
seen. head them back to the desired
height, which differs according to va
riety and class as well as to individ-
val ideas. Apple trees are usually
headed back 10 within three feet of
the ground. while pears. peaches and
cherries are headed back to eighteen
inches or two feet.-Indianapoli
