season becomes very dry as 1t pro-
crosses. Thus the grower should aim
to control the size of the individual
fruits by thinning and by tillage and
pruning.
1t is sometimes argued that the ex-
pense of thinning makes it prohibitive.
But this Is fallacious. While it may.
cost relatively large amount per
tree, it is the experience of the best
growers that, as rule, actually more
high grade fruit is produced on tree
which bears only a moderate crop.
than on one which is heavily over
loaded, and the average fruit on the
tree with a moderate crop is Of better
grade than the best fruit"on an over
loaded tree.
Another factor is commonly over
looked when the cost of thinning is
considered. The operation should be
done after the June drop"-which
usually occurs from month to six
weeks after the blossoming period,
when the imperfectly fertilized and
other weakly developed embryo fruits
drop off-and before the pits begin to
harden. After the June drop is over
there is but very little dropping Of
the peaches. Hence, practically all OF
the fruit which remains then will be
on the trees at harvest time. 1t will
have to be picked then, anyway. 1t is
fair assumption that it will cost no
more and probably considerably less
to pick a portion Of the crop in June
or July and drop the fruit on the
ground than it will to pick it later and
put it in basket, where much of 1t
will have to be handled over several
times in grading and packing and then
finally large quantities discarded as
culls because the fruits are SO small.
Moreover, the fruit on an overloaded
tree will sometimes ripen less uni
formly than on tree that has mod
crate crop.
It has already been stated that the
development of the pits is. an exhaus-
tive process. Therefore, the limiting
of the number Of fruits tends to con-
serve the vitality Of the tree. A large
portion Of the flesh of the peach is
water; hence, II the soil is well sup
piled with moisture the development
of the edible portion of the fruit makes
relatively light demand on the
strength of the tree.
The United States department Of
agriculture, Washington, will send in
terested fruit growers, free Of charge,
its farmers bulletin (No. 632) ON
Growing Peaches" which gives in de-
tail much information on the pruning
Of trees, renewal Of tops, thinning. in
terplanted crops and special practices.

ment of Agriculture)
In the minds of some peach grow
ers, to teach the thinning of the fruit
is to teach heresy. The thing most
desired by them is the biggest peach
crop possible. Then the heavier the
"set" Of fruit the better, and the last
consideration is to pick off any Of it
until 1t is picked for market. This is
their philosophy.
The matter of thinning the fruit on
heavily loaded peach trees should re-
quire no special argument to estab-
lish the wisdom of the practice, but
the reasons for thinning may be brief
ly set forth in the present connection.
The fact is widely recognized that
most varieties of peaches, as we'll as
other fruits, for that matter, under ia
vorable conditions often set much
more fruit than the tree can possibly
develop to good degree of perfec-
ton for commercial purposes. The in
herent natural purpose Of the tree is
to perpetuate its kind. To this end,
left to itself, its tendency is to develop
the largest possible number of seeds,
with each seed possessing the poten-
tial possibility of new tree.
The crowns aim is for the tree to
produce the largest possible amount
of fruit that can attain the highest
commercial standard. The inherent
effort Of the tree and the object de-
sired by the grower impose, or at least
tend to impose, incompatible require
ments. The development of a great
number of seeds is-a tree-exhausting
process. This is opposed to the de-
velopment of large fruit. To meet his
ends in this respect the grower has
recourse to thinning the fruit.
There is perhaps no operation in the
production Of peaches which requires
keener judgment in order to reap its
full benefits than does thinning the
fruit. However, no fixed rules for it
can be given. 1t is commonly advised
to thin so that the fruits will not be
nearer together than four to six
inches. This direction is quite gen
orally applicable, yet it may have sew
eral important notifications under diff
ferent conditions. The strength of
the tree, the fertility of the soil, and
especially the soil moisture are all CO.
ordinate factors governing this OPP
GRAFTON. These factors, together with
the size OF the crop, or, in other words,
the number of fruits allowed to de-
velop on the tree, govern very largely
the size and perfection of the indi-
vidual fruits, except as fungous dis
eases and insects may affect them.
Obviously, q vigorous tree growing
under favorable conditions as to mois-
ture, plant food, etc., can develop a
larger number of fruits to good size
than can weak tree, or even the
same tree when there is marked de-
ficiency either in the supply of mois-
ture or of plant food
The skill of the grower Is shown in
his ability to adjust the size Of the
crop on his trees to the varying sea-
sonal conditions. While he is power
less, of course, to add more fruit, it is
quite within his power to reduce the
number of fruits on the trees If the

The rotting of timber is caused by
the work of fungi, very minute living
organisms, which get into the crew
ices of the wood, The fungi feed on
certain substances in the wood and
cause 1t to break down or rot. Like
all other living organisms these fungi
require heat, air, and moisture, in ad-
dition to their food supply. II the soil
contains the right amount of air and
moisture for the best growth Of fungi,
the decay of fence posts is rapid, but
in very dry soil the decay is slow.
Hence the life of post depends some
what on the kind of soil in which 1t
10 set, and the success of any preserva-
tive treatment depends on the degree
to which 1t excludes air and moisture
as well as its effectiveness in poison
ing the wood.
