gan in the Farm and Home. Small
twigs and water sprouts. dead and
diseased limbs. also cross limbs, and
"trallers" or limbs that hang down
and scrape against other limbs should
always be removed in any case.
The principal object in pruning is
to foster a more thrifty growth. as
well as to divert more Of the energy
Of the tree into fruiting. There is an.
other reason accounted very impor-
tant by the western grower, where
color plays a larger part in the apple
than in the east. That is, letting in
more sun into the tree, for sunlight is
what gives color to the apple.
Enough of the limbs, especially at
the top. should be cut out to allow
the sun to enter and color the fruit.
This is proved by the high color OF
western apples They have nearly
continual sunshine through the day
during the whole growing season, and
that's what makes much color. The
greatest objection | have found to
cutting off large limbs is the blight,
as trees too freely pruued are much
more subject to it. and seem to offer
little resistance when disease is once
established. When the apple blight
is quite prevalent we should be mighty
