Winter Work in Orchards

Winter, far from being a perioc
of idleness as is too often tn,
case in orchards, should be a ne
riod of activity. 1t is the tim,
when some of the most impor
tant and effective work of The
whole year may be done.
The fact that the foliage has
fallen enables the orchardist tc
examine his trees carefully and
detect such serious insect pests.
plant diseases and other tree
troubles as may have escaped
attention before this time. Such
diseases as cankers of various
sorts may be located and treated.
since at this time they are easily
found and as labor is slack can
be treated to good advantage.
For full directions as to best
methods of treating canker write
in to this station before begin
ming work.
Pruning is another operation
which deserves attention during
the winter period. When mod
erately and carefully done win
ter pruning is of great value, not
alone in improving the shape of
the trees, but also in stimulating
new growth. 1t should be borne
in mind, however, that too much
even Of a good think may work
to disadvantage and too heavy
winter pruning should be avoid
ed, In winter pruning several
points should be kept in mind.
The first aim should be to re-
move all dead or seriously iniur-
ed limbs. The trees should be
opened up to some degree, but
care should be taken not to prune
too heavily on the south and
west sides for this purpose and
so expose the tree to danger of
sunburn during summer. The
tips Of branches may generally
be cut back somewhat to make
firmer and more symmetrical
growth. All wounds made in
pruning should be treated at
once with some paint to cover
the surface and prevent the en-
trance of disease spores. For
this purpose a material very
commonly used is white lead
and raw linseed oil, though some
Of the prepared tree wound
paints may be used. Care should
be taken to avoid leaving stubs
in cutting off limbs since these
will not cover well and will re-
main a constant source of en-
trance for various plant diseases.
