PRACTICE OF HEAVY PRUNING
Much Theorizing Has Been Done on
This Subject, but Little knowi-
edge Has Been Acquired.

Much theorizing has been done on
pruning, but comparatively little acct
rate knowledge has yet been acquired
regarding the relative merit OF the
easy-going methods p~racticed with the'
so-called natural" form OF top and
the more careful and heavier cutting;
followed In the base form and other
repressive systems as practiced on
the Pacific coast.
Many OF the eastern orchardlsts
have looked upon heavy pruning as
close akin to murder. and we have as
a result a large proportion OF leggy
and awkward trees in most of the
older apple orchards, the bearing
wood on which is high in the air and
inaccessible both at Spraying time and
time Of harvest, says a writer In an
exchange. Such trees require close
heading back, and sometimes ever
need to be "dehorned." Such heading
back, which should preferably DC
done in the spring just before growth
starts, need not be done in a single
year, but whether done in one year OF
gradually through a series OF years
1t should not stop short OF brlnglns

The scaffold is made by setting fouT
nosts high enough to be out of danger
from the poultry. Strips of 1X4 are
nailed from one post to the other as

The end posts should be set two
feet or a little more apart, which VIII

putting the other pair of posts as faI

fold is wanted to be.
When the trays are placed on these
supports the air passes up through
the fruit, drying it much quicker and
more uniformly.
The greatest convenience In having
the trays is when a shower threatens
or to protect the half dried fruit from
the night dew.
The trays may be quickly taken te
