THINNING FRUIT

In the Eastern and Middle Western
states the question of the propriety
or necessity of thinning fruit is under
discussion, but not so in the Pacific
Coast states. Here we know that we
must thin or fail. We do not thin in
all cases for the simple reason that
sometimes it is not necessary. Ii the
fruit is too tick then we must thin
and this is very often the case. Why
do we thin? Some people think that
we thin to save our trees from break
ing. That is a mistake. In some
rare cases we may save our tree by
taking off part OF the fruit, but as a
rule thinning will not lessen the
weight of fruit on the trees. For in
stance, if we pull off half of the apples
on heavy loaded tree, the ones left
will so increase in size that the weight
will not be diminished 1t is scarce
ly necessary to state that it is the
weight of apples and not the number
that will break the tree.
The object then in thinning fruit is
to increase its size and thereby the
appearance and quality of the fruit.
In this way we most assuredly in
crease the price received for the fruit
and that is the main thing aimed at.
Who would pay half as much for a
box of little, insignificant apples as
he would for fine, large ones? APP
pearance goes long way IN the SELL
ing of any kind Of fruit. 1t needs no
argument to prove that ii we pull of
one-half of the fruit on a tree, the
half left on will grow much larger.
The question is settled with all ex-
perienced fruit growers on the Pacific
Coast that fruit must be thinned in
all cases where thinning is needed.
How are we to determine when it is
needed? Experience will guide us in
this matter. We can not lay down
specific rules to guide us in all cases
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-06-01

but by experience we can tell about
how much we must leave on the trees.
Remember. the matter to be settled
is not how much to pull off but how
much to leave on. The reason we
can not lay down specific rules is that
some varieties need more thinning
than others do. The apple commonly
known as the Mammoth Black Twig
rarely ever needs thinning for the
apple is a large one and nearly always
attains sufficient size even when the
trees are very heavily loaded. The
Elberta peach does not need as much
thinning as the Crawfords, Foster and
Champion and many other varieties.
With these preliminary matters
settled there are but two vital ques-
lions to be settled: When to thin
and how to thin.
The inexperienced person will very
likely think that any time after the
fruit is found to be too thick is a
good time to thin, but this may prove
to be a serious mistake. The young
fruit often drops and for that reason
the thinning must be deferred till
after the time for this dropping. Ii
we thin before the drop and the drop
comes on it can easily be seen that
that the fruit will be- too thin. Some
persons think that the dropping OF
fruit is caused by its being too thick
on the trees. That position can easily
be disproved by by the fact that fruit
drops from trees that are not over
loaded. What causes the drop re-
ferred to is the fact that the stems of
the fruit are weakened from some
cause. Cool, damp weather frequently
has this effect.
The dropping of peaches occurs
with us, when we have any drop about
the last of May. One year we we're
planning to begin the thinning OF our
peaches about the first of June but
noticing that they we're falling off to
some extent, we waited. About one
half of the fruit fell off but enough
was left for a good crop. Had we
thinned our peaches that year before
the drop began, we would have had

During the past few weeks we
have booked more orders for trees
than in almost any other similar
period in our history. Our army of
splendid statesmen covers practic-
ally every hamlet in the west.
Their sales reports come in with
regularity of clock work. They
find customers everywhere who
have postponed buying until the
last minute, and who are now rush

They also find as usual that it

have been sold before.
We take pride in the reputation
we think we have fairly earned
"good trees properly delivered and
a square deal and good protection
to our customers"
We grow good trees on clean soil.
We mature them thoroughly before
digging. They are free from pest
or tree diseases. They are splen-
didly rooted and of good grades.
They are true to label. We want
your business and if good stock at a
fair price and good protection to
you as purchaser is worth any
thing to you, we'd be glad to have

occurs in June. In the Middle West
this is called the ''June drop" We
have very little of this June drop
where my orchards are. 1t is mostly
to be found in Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana and other states in that lat
itude. We may lay down a general
rule that peaches must be thinned in
June and apples later.
Having settled when to thin, the
next thing to determine is: How?
L have frequently been amused by
persons asking me if we knock the
fruit Oft with a stick while others
think we must shake the fruit off.
No, we do nothing of the kind. We
pick the surplus fruit off with our
hands and then drop it to the ground.
This looks like an appalling job to
one who has never done such work.
There is no royal road to this work
but it pays better than almost any
thing else dcne in the orchard. 1t
costs in a big orchard many hundred
dollars and some times it runs into
the thousands. But it must be DONE
When it comes to thinning peaches.
we generally lay down some rule like
thinning to four inches apart, but
there is no invariabIe rule to go by.
Peaches such as the Foster, Champion,
the Crawford, late and early, must
be thinned much more than the Ell
berta. We can slight the Elberta
more than any other good peach.
This variety may be allowed to grow
even in clusters to some extent, and
still the peaches will be salable.
Again, peaches must be thinned more
heavily on poor ground than where it
is we'll fertilized. 1t must never be
forgotten that small peaches are not
salable. Some Seeding pea ches are
excellent in quality but if they were
sent to market they would not sell for
enough to pay for boxes and paper.
When it comes to thinning apples
it is difficult to give specific direc-
lions in all cases. One rule however,
may be followed in all cases: Ii the
apples grow in clusters, thin to one
in place. If the apples are large
ones, like Black Twigs, Ben Davis
and Rome Beauties that will be
enough. But if the apples are small
ones, then thin to one in place but
have none nearer than four inches
apart on the limbs. AS a general rule
apples may be left thicker in the top
of tree than on the lower branches.
The sooner after the dropping season
is past, that the apple can be thinned
the better, but thinning will do good
il done all through the summer, almost
up to picking time. Sometimes the
larger apples are picked and the
smaller ones left on the tree to grow
larger. This will work to good
advantage in the case of Duchess and
Red Junes.
In all cases where inexperienced
persons are hired to thin fruit there
should be boss with the gang who
understands his business. Don
think of sending persons into your
orchard to thin your fruit who knows
nothing about the work. Go along
yourself or send some one who can
chou tbase nav bepinners. 1t may
