STUDY TREE TROUBLES NOW.

There is no better time than during
the summer season to make careful
study of the orchard During the spring
months many weak trees look strong
and during autumn it is hard to distln-
guish between the natural dropping or
yellowing of leaves and that which may
be due to disease or insects.
One may see in Sussex county whole
orchards, especially of peaches, that
show by their color the need of tlllage
or manuring. or both. When all the
trees are yellow, but show no consplc-
uous signs of insects or diseases, one
NAV be sure that cultivation and plant
food would have been very helpful. At
the present time neither of these help
should be employed, if not before used
this season, unless in the case OF very
sandy soils. where tillage or mulches
may help to reduce excessive evapora-
ton.
AS this season infertile or poorly
drained spots may be discovered by the
growth of the trees. In the case of or
chards newly planted an inspection dur
ine the summer may give the first lndl-
cation that all parts of the orchard are
not alike, and will provide the basis for
treatment next spring. In older or
chards the size and growth of the trees
will show. even in the winter, where
the strong and weak soils are located,
altho the whole truth cannot be learned
at that time. Accurate notes can be
made now regarding these matters, so
that they can be given due attention
during the busy spring season.
Often one or more trees may show by
their poor color or failing growth that
something is wrong. In the case of
peaches the trouble is most likely to be
borers in the crown, especially when
the whole tree droops. Worming at
this time will be helpful but will not
wholly repair the damage. An occas-
ional dead limb on peach tree may in
dicate heavy bearing last year, or there
NAV be brown rot cankers on the bark.
If smaller branches Of the peach are
troubled. the rot cankers will almost
always be found. Sometimes bark
| beetles will be found boring in the
cankers, but these are not responsible
for the injury. At any time while the
| leaves are on the trees so that the in
| iured branches can be seen these
| branches can be cut out and burned.
The usual treatment for brown rot will
control this form of injury,
The fire blight on the apple and pear
has awakened wide interest this year.
The prevalence of this disease in 1915
is due to a combination of weather con-
ditions at the time of blossoming. and
there is no reason to expect a similar
outbreak next year Nothing can be
done at this season except to Withhold
cultivativations or any other attention
that would stimulate rapid wood growth.
Pruning now is apt to do more harm than
good. The best time to prune will be
in fall and winter when the usual win
ter pruning is given. Special care
should then be given to the removal of
the old cankers on the larger branches
which are the sources from which the
disease spreads each year.
