CAN HAVE APPLES
WHERE THEY WISH

1t is about time for the provident
| fruit grower to decide how many
apples he wants to raise on his trees
| this year and on which limbs and how
| far apart he wants them to grow.
Having rendered this decision, he need
ed only to carry out according to the
dictate of his own sweet will, for
the grower of fruit can have just as
many or just as few apples on his trees
this summer as he wants. 1t is all
up to him. And he can have them
as large or small as he wants too.
This isn't any pipe dream either.
If the man wants apples eight inches
apart all over his trees, he can have
them; if he wants them six inches
apart he can have them if he wants
them so close together that they will
grow dents into each others sides,
there are a good many trees on which
he can have them that way also.
This may sound untrue to the un-
initiated, it may sound a little too
much like a dream of Paradise to as
sure the fruit grower that he can
place the apples on his trees to suit
himself and have them grow there
| Just as if that were where they be-
longed. In fact il isn't quite so much
of a Paradise as that, for the fruit
grower doesn't put the apples en- to
suit himself; he merely goes to tree
which has apples on all the possible
sites for apples and taes off those he
does not want. And there are so many
already on the trees that he can leave
one on at just any point he wants to
This process of taking off the super.
fluous fruit lis called the thinning pro.
cess. Thinning has come to be one
of the routine duties of the western
orchardist, but there are yet lot OF
people who are not western orchardistS
and to them the thinning process is {
continual source of surprise and won
der.
When they step into al orcharC
where the limbs are heavy laden with
little green apples and see the owner
deliberately strip these limbs, as il
seems, amOst bare, they wonder if ht
is not crazy. They at least think, as
= they look through the rows and see the
ground thickly covered with wasteC
fruit, that the orchardist had been 1
little more than ordinarily energetic
and wasteful for the purpose of i'm
pressing the stranger with the prolific
ness of his trees.
If he does not stopIto consider the

let the tree bear all the fruit it will?'
but If he stops to consider bit farther
he will see that no tree could possibly

GunnySack For CaterpillarS.

TO kill caterpillars, gunnysacks are
recommended by A. A. Quarnberg,
district horticultural Inspector, Of
Vancouver, Wash.
Numerous complaints have been
made to the Inspector that caterpillars
are numerous on the fruit trees in this
country. Concerning them MIR. Quarn-
berg said:
"'The fruit growers need have no
fear about caterpillars destroying the
fruit. They may eat the green leaves,
but it is not difficult to get rid of them.
Spraying with arsenate of lead will
hll them, but there is simpler
method
"The caterpilIars usually feed in the
morning and crawl down on the trunk
of the tree in the afternoon or even
ing. When they are clustered around
the trunk, if one will roll up gunny.
sack and with it crush them, he will
find this the easier way of getting riC
of the pests. If fruit grower will
go through his orchard with his gunny
sack every day for several days, he
will have destroyed all of the pests

mature the fruit that sets-especially
the amount of fruit that has set this
year. If it did mature the fruit it
would be small fruit, and even at that
the weight would break down the
trees. So the orchardists have decided
that to bear apples at distances of
about inches apart is all reason
able man should ask of his trees.
According to the localities, from half
to nine-tenths of the fruit now set will
have to be stripped from the limbs in
order for the rest to come to maturity
at proper size. Which statement, to
the uninitiated, will seem like an extra
VACANT lie, and to the initiated such a
common place that no newspaper
should have taken the trouble to print
it.
