NAILS IN TREES
DON'T HELP FRUIT

Ames, May 1S.-"Why, just pound.
ed the trunk of that old tree plumb
full of nails and she bore me crop
of apples for the first time in fourteen
years. 1t was the iron tonic that did
It," says Bill Jones, amateur orchard
list. Bill Chinaman would pound the
trunk of the same tree with a heavy
club to beat out the devils and let
the apples in"
One practice is as superstitious as
the other, say the horticulturists Of
the agricultural extension department
at Iowa State college. Although either
method may cause the old tree to bear
fruit simply because 1t retards the
growth and hence encourages fruit
production, yet neither of these meth.
DDS is advisable.
Girdling will produce as good re-
suits with less injury to the tree It
is done by cutting of spiral of bark
from the tree one-half inch wide from
a trunk surface twelve inches long. It
should be done before the middle Of
June. Girdling Is advised only on
those trees which are ten and twelve
years old and have never borne fruit,
or on those trees which are making
too rapid a growth at the expense Of
fruit production.
