PEACH TREES.
Pruning May Be Done During Fall,
Winter or Spring.

The fruit of the peach is borne on
wood of last seasons growth as wen
as on some of the smaller twigs on
the main limbs and branches. To
produce this new bearing wood it is
necessary to cut out the older wood
also to keep the trees from going up
into the air and forming long slender
branches, we head or cut back all of
the main branches, cutting at the
point where smaller side branch has
developed, this secondary branch be-
comes the main one and develops a
branch which extends outward in
place of the original leader which was
more upright. BY this heading back
to side branches we develop a low
headed spreading tree Is easy to spray
and harvest writes S. P. HOLSTER of
the department OF horticulture at the
Connecticut Agricultural college.
Pruning of peaches may be done
any time during the fall, winter or
spring. but owing to the fact that we
often have killing weather late in the
winter many delay their pruning un-
til spring. Then If the buds are all
killed the grower will cut his trees
very severely but if there is a small
percentage Of live buds he will cut
very little If a crop of fruit is de-
sired. The severe cutting will give a
large amount of new bearing wood for
the next season.

THE APPLE WORM.
Trees Should Be Sponsed Just AZ
Soon as Blossoms Fall.

The coddling moth or apple worm
winters over in a small white cocoon
under the rough bark. .Woodpeckers
feed upon the cocoons, and disease
and cold weather kill many so that
only 10 to 20 per cent live through
the winter. The apple worm changes
into the pupal stage the latter part Of
May or early June. Moths emerge
from the pupal stage the middle of
June or the first week in July. The
moths fly at night, laying an average
The eggs upon the leaves look like
small white blisters about the size of
pin heads. The eggs hatch in to 10
days and the young caterpillars crawl
to their choicest food, the apple.
Fully two-thirds OF the worms enter
the apples through the blossoms or
calyx; the rest enter where a leaf or
other apple touches The worms bore
directly toward the core and eat in the
center of the aple. In four or five
weeks the worm becomes full-grown
and eats its way through the apple
usually at the side. It now seeks a
sheltered place under rough bark and
makes its cocoon where it spends the
winter.
