ORCHARD
GLEANINGS
GOOD POINTERS ON PRUNING
Everyone Should Have by Heart
Difference In Details.

Pruning Is almost prehistoric In or
igin, and is popularity supposed to be
the kindergarten operation in fruit
growing, yet as often practiced it is
a hit or miss cutting, saving, chop
ping and shearing out of shoots,
twigs, branches and limbs, designated
by such expressive terms as cutting
back" heading in" and thinning out
the wood"
There must always be difference
in the details of pruning, but there
are few general facts and principles
which everyone who prunes should
have well by heart. These, briefly
as as follows:
l. Winter pruning. increases the
vigor Of the plant.
2. Summer pruning increases the
vigor OF the plant.
8. Prune weak growing varieties
heavily in winter; strong growing
sorts lightly.
4. Over pruning induces the growth
of suckers or water sprouts.
5. Heavy pruning of your trees de-
lays fruiting.
=. All pruning must take into ac-
count the habit of growing Of the
tree.
Z. Some fruits bear on this years
wood, others on that Of last year, and
still others on older growths; prun-
ing must take the age OF bearing wood
into account.
A man can care for trees better If
he makes a sharp distinction between
pruning and training trees. The OPP
erations Of pruning have to do with
the me Iincation of the vigor and the
fruitful ness of the plants, but train.

COMMON ORCHARD MITE PEST
Injurious Little Insect Found In Great
Portion Of West-Injury to
Fruit Trees Severe.
(By GEORGE WELDOND

Dry climates favor the multiplica-
ton of mites In the orchard, very
common among them being the brown
mite Throughout the entire year this
little PEST may be found In the or.
chards in a great portion Of the west,
and in some localities their injury to
fruit trees is quite severe.
Most orchardists have seen the tiny
red globular eggs on fruit trees during
the winter months and are aware that
they are the eggs of the brown mite.
The winter Is spent principally In the
egg stare, The eggs are deposited on
the trunk and limbs of trees during
the late summer Often the bark is
covered several layers deep with
these eggs BY rubbing ones finger
over the egg masses and crushing
them, the bark Of the tree may be

Books for the Children,

Care must be taken in the stories
we give to growing children that evil
Is always overcome. Book friends are
very real to boys and girls and in
huence their character. There should
be effort and conflict in their stories
and daring endurance and steadfast
purpose. Stories in which the child
hero acts rightly are particularly
valuable, because what boy or girl
has done appeals more directly to the
child's own power. He feels though
he may not express 1t even to him.

The electrical resistance Of trees
is quite great, quality which pro-

from lightning stroke. This resis-
