Care During the Winter to Prevent
sun-scald and Other
Injuries.

During the winter season the ques.

ton, too. OF no small consequence
Winter Injury may come from three
sources, namely, sun-scald, rabbits
and mice. In the aggregate the loss
by injury from these three sources
must be something enormous. All
young fruit trees are liable to attack
from one or all Of these. None may
escape.
Sun-scald is caused by the alternate
freezing and thawing of the bark
while the wood and root system IL In
q frozen and dormant state. When in
jured by sun-scald the bark turns
black, dies and often separates entire
ly from the wood. To prevent injury
from this cause 1t Is necessary only To
protect the trunk and limbs from the
direct rays of the sun. Prof. Bailey
recommends the use of wire cloth or
some material that will obstruct the
suns rays without entirely checking
them, as In the latter case the bark
has no opportunity to become grad
ually used to the suns rays.
Care, too, should be exercised in
pruning. The removal of a large
amount Of top subjects the remaining
branches to severe test, the direct
unobstructed rays of the sun to which
they are not Injured. Wood veaeer
makes cheap and effective protection
against injury from sun-scald. This
material may be had from most bsrry-
box manufacturers.
In the matter OF growth and proper
care much may be done in the way OF
securing strong, healthy growth in
the young trees. Plenty Of fertility OF
the right kind, with good culture, te1d
to produce normally matured grow III
Of wood, which is better able to staRd
The vicissltudes of the seasons than

Some growers set the trees so that
the trunks incline to the southwest,

headed trees appear to suffer less than
those with high trunks, both from sun.
scald and severe winds. In the mat
ter OF protection against injury from
mice and other vermin, either the
wire cloth or wood veneer will prove
effective. But to be effective against
the attacks of rabbits the protection
will need to reach two or :hree fee
from the ground, for, as the SHOWS O
winter accumulate, the rabbits are en-
abled to reach higher.
AS against injury from mice, tramp
ing the snow about the base of tn
Etree or banking the tree with eartl
sometimes proves to be very effectua
remedy.
Having the orchards free from rub
bish and above all, having the groun,
about the tree for several feet aroun,
free of covering with grass or weeds
Is point worth considering, says tn,

every direction. We should take tn,

conditions shall lead the rascals righ
up to the base of the unprotected
young fruit trees.
