Address the Above

What shall we do with our old or
chards? Many of our orchards In
Western Washington have been neg
lected until the trees have hardly a
healthy branch. The trunks and
lower branches are filled with small
and mummied fruits which at harvest
time had hung too high for the pick
ers. The trees blossom and set fruit
but most of the fruit drops before
picking time and the few fruits that
remain are so infested with insects
and disease that they are not worth
marketing.
If you are the owner of such an
orchard you owe it to yourself and
your neighbor to do one of two things;
either remove the trees altogether or
else work them over into trees which
will be profitable.
Some of your trees may be poorly
shaped or set in an undesirable loca-
ton. These should be removed en-
tirely and something more profitable
grown instead. Other trees may be
fairly we'll shaped but of an undeslr-
able variety. Trees of this sort may
be top worked, that IS, most of the
smaller branches cut away and clons
of desirable variety grated into this
top. There are still other trees
which have a good framework and are
of a good commercial variety. How
can we make these trees pay? This
is a question which confronts many
of our growers.
Three essential orchard practices
pruning, spraying and orchard t1llage
have been neglected. These will need
to be restored.
1t is impossible to spray with sue
cess as long as the tops of the trees
are out of reach of spray rod or lad
der. The first thing to do is to bring
the top of the tree nearer the ground,
and this can be done only by remov-
ing the branches which are out of
reach. With the average old neglect
ed orchard, it will mean cutting back
about one-half of the top, leaving the
framework or main branches OF the
tree, and about one third OF the
smaller branches. The center of the
tree will have too many large limbs

winter strength) during October or
early November, for the Blackspot
canker, and at least two applications
of one of the same mixtures, but in
more dilute form, during the spring.
The spring applications are primarily
for apple or pear scab.
One spring applica ton should be
made as soon as the cluster bud
opens but before the individual flower
buds open, that is, when the buds
show pink. Another application
should be made soon after the petals
have fallen, and if the spring rains
continue, as they did last season, a
third application may be necessary
three or four weeks later. Never
spray when the trees are in full bloom.
You will wet the pollen of the flowers,
the bees will not work in them and
the result will be a poor set OF fruit.
If arsenical sprays are used and spray
| ing done with the trees in full bloom
many of the bees would be killed.
The applications mentioned above
we're for plant diseases. Often the
old orchard will need to be sprayed
for insects, also. Some of these
sprayings can be combined with the
applications for scab, but some can
not. In general the insects Of tree
| fruits which can be controlled by
spraying are those which chew and
swallow their food and those which
suck the juices from the leaves.
AS a spray for the chewing insects
some form of arsenic is usually ap-
piled. The most common arsenical
| in use is arsenate of lead. This may
be diluted in water and applied alone
or in case the pest appears about the
time for one of the scab sprayings,
the material may be combined with
the lime sulphur or Bordeaux mixture
and some expense in applying may
be saved.
Insects which suck the juices from
the leaves and twigs should be spray
ed with a material which will destroy
by contact. The tobacco and soap
solutions are generally used for this
type of insect.
(The last issue of The Ranch con.
tains spray calender which should
be in the hands of every orchardist.
All sprayings should be thorough.
The better the application, the better
the results. High pressure saves time
and makes thoroughness easier.
An old renewed orchard will need
to be we'll titled in the spring and
summer and a cover crop, such as
vetch, sown in the fall. This may
be plowed under the following spring
and will add humus to the soil. The
soil may need to be rejuvenated as
we'll as the trees. Flowing in the
spring, disking and following this
working with the harrow, will dc
much to put the soil in good physical
condition.

''THIS IS A
REAL NURSERY"

A year or so since we quoted the
above remark make by practical
orchardist and horticulturist, who
dropped in to see our plant after he
had visited most of the nurseries in
Washington.
What this gentleman saw on that
particular day was what goes on
here at shipping time for about four
weeks in the fall and six weeks in
the spring, besides which he, of
course, saw the fields of full-grown
stock ready for digging while the
spring visitor would see the plant
ing being done.
In other words, he saw a big
packing house, well Systematized,
everything in it's place and fine,
clean, well-rooted stock being pack
ed out in good order for customers
in every section of the Northwest.
He saw about 140 varieties of APP
pies, about 40 pear, so peach, 20
apricot, IS plum, 30 prune, 40 cher
ry, ETC., right down through all the
staple fruits, shade and ornamental
stock, totalling 1920 varieties, each
in it's own place.
And that's why this is real nur-
sery. We grow full assortment of
all the best that belongs in COM
plete plant. It's delivered to our
customers in good order, and it's
backed up by dependable con-
Germ, whose highest desire is to sell
good trees to a critical public.
That concern is us.

| This heavy cutting back can best
be done during the early spring as it
is easier to work in the tree before it
is in full leaf. Another advantage of
heading back at this time is that the
wounds caused by the removal of large
branches will not be exposed to the
winter rains and healing of the wounds
will soon take place. The result of
this severe heading back will be a
heavy growth of new wood but this is
desirable the first year or two after
heading. These new shoots will need
to be thinned, leaving only the most
desirable, and those remaining should
be cut back to one-third or one-half
of their length. If the new wood
growth is exceptionally strong it will
be we'll to do the pruning of the new
growth about August This has
tendency to form fruit buds and at
the same time opens the head of the
tree making fall spraying easier.
| The grower who has done very little
pruning is apt to leave considerable
wood, which is undesirable, in the
center of the tree and at the same
time to cut off much of the fruiting
wood. The fruit of the apple, pear,
cherry and most varieties of plum is
borne on short spurs and these should
not be removed during pruning, but
encouraged by cutting out the non
fruiting wood which shades them.
Heading back of old trees will make
it necessary to remove some large
limbs. To keep the limb from split
ting down and tearing the bark, it is
best to make the first cut from the
underside of the limb and about an
inch deep. Then cut from above and
a few inches more distant from the
trunk than the under cut When the
limb is severed the break will be from
the upper to the lower cut and the
bark will not be injured. The short
stub which remains should then be
removed. Do not leave stubs when

cut them close and as near parallel to
the trunk or large limb from which
they spring, as possible. All wounds
an inch in diameter or larger should
be painted with good paint such as
white lead or covered with grating
wax.
When the trunks and limbs of the
old trees are covered with scaly bark
and moss they should be scraped with
a tree scraper A good scraper can
be made from an old hoe by cutting
down the blade and shortening the
handle.
1t is almost impossible to give a
spraying scheme for the old orchard
which will apply to all classes of trees.
The applications which should be
given to the apple or pear orchard
may not be necessary for the cherry
or plum.
The average old apple orchard in
Western Washington will need at least
three sprayings year and sometimes
more. Usually more applications will
be necessary for scab of the apple and
pear during cool, rainy spring and
summer than during a warm, dry
season, for this disease is especially
fond of cool, moist conditions. Under
