Warming AGAINST Winter Kill.

Prof. X. Edward Trumble. a we'll
known agriculturist and horticulturlst,
is warning all apple men owning or
chards in Nosthern latitudes, that 1t is
necessary to prepare orchards for
winter weather. In all Of the North
ern States, he says there is consider
able ''winter killing" every season
This is caused by late growing and late
irrigation. The tree that grows late IN
the fall arrives at the winter season
with too much sap in wood and bark.
The extreme cold freezes this sap,
which resuslts in injury to the tree.
The degree of injury depends upon the
quantity of sap and the degree OF
freezing. If only the tips are frozen
the damage is slight, but when the
cambium and inner bark are frozen the
tree is seriously damaged and results
in a greatly decreased vitality to the
whole tree. This is preventable by
removing the causes, by preventing
late growth. Late irrigation is mis-
take. Time should be given to trees
to shed their leaves and harden the
wood for winter. For the Northwest,
MIR. Trumble says, there should be no
irrigation after September 1920.
Young trees are the most susceptible
to this form of injury and consequently
orchard owners should see that young
trees do not go into winter with leaves
on their branches. Leaves at the
opening of the winter are sure sign
of late growth and the presence of the
leaves help to continue this growth. e
