Following a most severe winter the
apple trees in many localities pre-
sent a very bad appearance and the
condition has caused much alarm to
be felt among fruit growers. In some
cases whole trees have been killed,
but in most cases a few OF the large
limbs have been killed and these per-
sisting give the tree a stag headed"
appearance.
In many cases 1t Is found that those
limbs that were weakened by scale,
overbearing or other cause, are the
ones which suffered the most from the
continued cold.
Many of the limbs that were Sc
verely injured but not entirely killed
pushed out a few leaves, but these
never attained full size, but soon with
cred and dropped off. The majority of
such limbs are now completely dead
and are of course valueless.
Some limbs, not SO badly injured as
these just mentioned, produced al
most normal foliage-in some cases
differing from the healthy leaves only
by the slight yellowness-and on
these limbs fruit has been produced.
This fruit also shows signs of the
great disturbance that has taken
place for IL is frequently found to be
gnarled, or even watery, and this con-
dition is fairly uniform on any affect

limbs are going to live and which
ones are past recovery. 1t is the
fruit growers business now to help
the tree recover from this damage.
He can do this by pruning away the
dead wood scientifically.
First of all he must be governed by
the rules OF good pruning, which re-
quire that all cuts be made flush

SHEEP AS WEED .DESTROYERS

turaI College.

Early in July of the present year
a carload of 259 western wethers was
shipped to the Upper Peninsula sub
station at Chatham for the purpose
Of subduing weeds and sprouts which
had grown up on forty acres of land
cut over several years past. The
ground was covered with some June
grass and endless variety of weeds and
sprouts as high as mans head and
almost impossible to walk through.
Five or six weeks after the sheep
were turned on this tract II was prac.

their tramping in wandering over the

barrel and carefully inverted that the
fruit may not be injured.
How to Store.
The fruit should then be stored as
soon as possible. Piling the fruit in
the orchard is wasteful practice. The
fruit heats in the piles and ripens very
readily. The aim in storing fruit is
to retard this ripening process that the
fruit may be kept longer. Do not store
fruit that has been piled in the or
chard for any considerable time after
picking. Get a good spring wagon for
hauling the fruit into storage A
springless wagon, especially over
rough roads, will injure the fruit for
storing. II the fruit is packed in tight
boxes or barrels, 1t will store better
than il open crates are used
The storage house or cellar should
be well ventilated, well drained and
frost proof A cellar that cannot be
properly ventilated to allow foul air
to escape, cannot keep fruit we'll
Drain the cellar so that ii will never
be wet and remove excessive moisture

they are apt to become too dry and

HARVESTING AND
STORING THE APPLE CROP
BY PROF. c. p. HAlLIGAN,
Assistant Horticulturist, Michigan Az.
ricultural College.

The indications are that the apple
crop In, Michigan will be much above
the average this fall. The value of
this crop will depend, In a large meas
ure, upon the care exercised in pick
ing and the methods used in storing
It.
There seems to be much ignorance
and carelessness in harvesting and
storing apples, which always results
In an inexcusable amount of waste and
decay in the fruit. This statement is
more apt to be true of the small grow
er who harvests only few apples for
home use during the winter than of
the commercial orchardist who de-
ponds upon his fruit for his income A
few simple rules of caution will pre-
vent much needless waste.
Time to Pick.
If apples are harvested too late they
will not keep as long in storage, al
though they will be of high color and
of good size and quality when picked
II apples are harvested too early they
are apt to be understood and of poor
quality. We do not expect winter
apple to be ripe at harvesting time
1t should be full sized, however, well
colored and should separate readily
from the spur. If. when picking the
apples the stems are pulled out or the
spurs broken, It is too early to harvest
that particular variety.
How to Pick.
Apples should be handled like eggs
Any break or rupture In the skin
caused by worms or carelessness In
handling is the starting point for the
various rots and other forms OF decay.
No fruit harvested by shaking of
branches or knocking the fruit off with
poles, Is worth storing Hand picking
is absolutely essential The fruit
should be grasped by the palm Of the
hand that no abrasion may be made
by the finger nails by slightly twist
ing the fruit and bending II upward,
II should separate readily from the
spur.
Apples should be placed and not
thrown or let fall into the picking
basket. A careless picker will ruin
more fruit by letting II fall into his
basket Instead of carefully placing II
there than his services are worth.
great amount of fruit Is also ruined by
pouring II from the picking basket In
