vent the formation of fruit buds and
thus greatly lessen the crop of fruit
during the next season.
If we can not increase the forma-
tion of fruit buds by excessive irriga
ton carried on through the whole
season as this engineer seems to
think, then is there any way that we
may increase the next years crop by
anything we may do this year? 1t
will appear evident to any one who
has carefully read what I have pres
ented from these authorities that one
of the things we can do is to cease
irrigation after the middle of the
summer and give our trees that rest
which Sorauer says they need. So
long as we keep up heavy irrigation,
fruit buds can not be extensively
formed. We must not carry this too
far or we may injure the fruit on the
trees for too much drought will re-
tard the growth of apples and they
will not color so we'll. We know

they grow into magnificent foliage

be advantageous to prevent the de-
velopment of shoots and to bring a
complete period of rest. The best
means of doing this is by drought.
Again on page 223 he says: ga damp
spring will cause the production of
strong foliage and an early, dry and
warm summer following upon this
will prevent the leaves from growing
too long and will cause the production
of large number of Towering buds. "
