PROF. HANSEN ADVISES
ON CARE OF PLUM TREES

Brookings, s. D., April 2S.-Prof. N.
u. Hansen has formulated the follow
ing reply to an inquirer, who asked
particularly about suckers" coming
up from he roots of the trees:
THE only stock that should be put
out for n plum orchard of the north
west is the native plum Itself. But
this means that the suckers that
spring up from the roots should
be kept down. as they will soon
take the sap that should go into the
grated or budded part and ultimately
starye them out. II the tree has been
set deep so that the sprouts come from
the part above the graft or bud, then
the sprouts will give you the same
variety that is budded or grated on
the root. But If the suckers come from
below the bud or graft. which is usual
ly the case, then they will simply be
wild plums, and should be cut off as
soon as they appear. If this is done
early there will be very little trouble
from these uck After trees come
into heavy bearing there will be much
less trouble. as the strength will go
into the fruit.
Sometimes hardy pluTns are worked
on peach roots and other roots that do
not sucker. but such trees will not dc
for Dakota orchards. as the tender
peach roots will kill out very soon,
leaving h hardy roots to die"
