Results which may surprise many
practical horticulturists have been
obtained BY scientific experiments
on the Woburn fruit farm. in Eng

less fruit tree is pruned the larger
and heavier it becomes, oven when
allowance is made for wood removed
in annual pruning of normal trees.
The fruit crops are also increased
as the amount of pruning is dimin-
ished. The general conclusion is
that the less pruning the better.

This applies, however, only to

Resolved, That the Farmers
Institutes are an active means of
educating farmers.
Resolved, That we favor the
initiative and referendum.
Resolved, That we favor a re-
