PROPER THINNING MEANS MORE
REGULAR YIELDS.
Ensures More and Better Fruit and
More Frequent Bearing.
.. ID. SHAW
Maryland Agricultural College and
Experiment Station.
s. B. SHAW,

Systematic thinning is phase OF
fruit growing often advocated but sci.
dom practiced. 1t is an operation re,
quiring considerable nerve" on the
part of the grower, but results soon
show the benefit derived from what at
farst seems to be rather drastic treat
ment. The thinning. of fruit may be
regarded as q form of training equally
as important as pruning.
In most instances trees are pruned
to bring about the best possible de-
velopment of growth as regards the
arrangement of limbs and general
placement of frtIiting wood. Proper
thinning brings about the normal de-
velopment of fruit, both as to size and
color. 1t also permits of a more
thorough distribution Of spray material
for the prevention of injury from In.
gects and diseases. 1t is almost i'm
possible to completely spray fruits
chat touch each other.
Thinning not only causes the de.
velopment Of much finer fruit, but it
is means for conserving the energy
aMd vitality of the trees. Orchards
that bear heavily one year do not, as
a rule. produce much fruit the follow
ing year. While trees are producing a
crop of fruit they are also forming
buds for the next crop. Overloaded
trees cannot well develop proper

Rare Ability.


Rare Ability.
According to legend, the beaver Is
supposed to be a reincarnation of man,
put back on earth to expiate past Of
lenses by work, and in some of the
early drawings it is depicted with the
face of a man. And when we consider
its extraordinary intelligence and skill
as woodcntter, engineer dam and ca
nal maker). house builder and food
storer the notion does not seem at
all farfetched. Describing the canals
which the animals make by scooping
out the earth with their hands, A. r.
Dugmore in the Romance of the Bea-
ver' remarks:
1T might be presumed that these ca
mails are only run through level coun-
try, but here is the greatest evidence
Of the engineering ability of the bea-
vers: They build their canals uphill by
means of weirs or dams, the distance
between them varying according to the
gradient. Yet they never work uphill
unless it is made absolutely necessary
by the contour of the land Tiae width
of these canals is usually about three
feet. with a depth from one to three
feet, seldom deeper except when small
pools are made. evidently with the idea
of providing a hiding place in the event
of danger. The direction of the canals
must necessarily be variable. Wh6r-
ever conditions are favorable they are
as straight as though laid out by hui
man engineers. but when there is any
advantage to be gained by curves they
make curves"

form each function in alternate years
In some sections systematic thin
ming has come 10 be regarded as an
indispensable practice in successful
fruit growing. It costs but little, II
any, more to thin at the proper season,
than it does to pick the same fruit al
harvest time. In addition there will
be a higher percentage Of good fruit
and more assurance of securing crop
the next year. The best time to start
this work is after the season for the
"June Drop" is safely past. The
sooner excess fruit is removed after
this, the better will be the develop
ment of the remaining fruit.
The ideal method of thinning Is
practically the same as in harvesting
Manipulating is most desirable as II
causes less injury to the fruiting wood
Another advantage Of this method Is
that the best developed fruits can be
left on the trees. For most ideal re-
suits fruits should not be closer than
from four to six inches. When first
thinned to this distance they may ap
pear very scattering and the prospects
will not look at all good for a profit

of the fully developed fruit will be
kept in mind>it will soon become EVIL

From present prospects, it is evident
that there may be a large peach crop
this season. Those growers who have
carefully sprayed the fruit, and who
win now Systematically thin the same
win Be the ones who will, in all prob
ability, get the most Of their crop. The
prospects do not seem at all good for
the profitable sale of small, under
sized. unsprayed fruit. This may also
hold true with apple growers, but or
account of the outbreak of blight they
may not have to do so much thinning
