PREVENTIvES SAVE
MANY FRUIT TREES
Number of Schemes Have Been
Tested Out by Experiment
Stations and Growers.

by C. c. VINCENT, Idaho Experimental
Station)
The damage caused by rabbits each
year during the past few years has be-
come more and more pronounced In
ti0ns the growers have found that it is
very easy matter to prevent rabbits
from injuring the trees. In most all
cases the damage is due to neglect
rather than lack of efficient remedy.
A number of preventives that have
been tried out by practical growers
and experiment stations are given be-
low:
Poisoned bait has been used very
effectively in many sections by pla cling
it where the rabbits can get it. A for
mula consisting of one part strychnine,
one-third part borax, one part white
strip, ten parts water, recommended
by the Ohio experiment station, has
given good satisfaction. This mixture
is applied to the tender twigs which
are distributed around the base of the
tree.
Tree protectors are also used by
many growers. Strips of wire window
screening Is to "a inches long and
to II inches wide are used frequent
ly. These strips are wrapped around
the base of the tree in the form of
tubes with the lower end pressed into
the ground.
A woven wire fence is desirable
where the planting is large enough to
justify the expense. Wooden veneer
strips, having about the same dimen-
slons as the wiring screening, have
also been recommended.
Washes Of various kinds are also
used quite exter sively by our growers.
Heavy rains, however, wash them off
occasionally, which makes it necessary
to repeat the application. 4 faint of
any kind on the trunk of the tree will
keep the rabbits from injuring it. Hog

Vessel of Odd Design.

Senior Gonzalo Mejia, who has a
contract to carry the mails in Colon
bia, has designed a boat that, he be-
lena and it's tributaries ever when
they contain less than a foot of water.
This odd craft, which has a draft of
only three inches, is propelled by two
engines CT 150-horse power that drive
two aeroplane propellers, and can
travel at a rate of from fifteen to
forty-five miles an hour. With this
dying raft Senior Mejia expects tc
make the trip up the Magdaiena,
which in the dry season has hitherto
taken so days, in 20 hours.

reached from the ground, and leaving
the tree looking like a large feather
duster. Begin at the top and thin out
branches which shade the center of
the tree too much. If the tops are too
high, lower them moderately and grad
ually SO as not to disturb the balance
between top and roots. If the root
system has been developed to take
care of large top and much of this
is suddenly removed, the roots will
send up so much more material than
the remaining top can use that there
will be big growth of water sprouts.
Most people remove too little instead
of too much of the top, but it is often
necessary to distribute the work over
two years and sometimes over three
years.
Trees planted too thickly may need
thinning, but if the branches Of neigh
boring trees overlap, the level ones
may be cut back to some upright
branch. Always prune close to the
trunk or main branch, and never leave
a stub to carry decay into the tree.
Paint all cut surfaces with white lead
and raw oil. Cut out blister canker
completely, and disinfect the pruning
tools in a mixture of corrosive subli-
mate in a thousand parts Of water, or
disease may be carried from tree to
tree throughout the orchard.

The apple crop is making more
money than any other farm crop if
properly grown and marketed, accord
ing to J. G. Written Of the Missouri
College of Agriculture. Many men are
making little or nothing out Of it be-
cause Of their failure to prune, spray
and care for their trees. Such men
have been complaining that they could
not sell their apples, and enormous
quantities certainly were wasted in
Missouri orchards last fall At the
same time, the growers who had prop
erly managed their orchards, graded
their fruit and put it into cold storage
for higher prices later in the winter
are making money out of their crops.
If the orchards are not well managed
SO much of the fruit is small, scabby,
wormy or otherwise SO unfit for stor-
age that a satisfactory price cannot be
secured for it; SO it is dumped on the
market in poor shape for immediate
use and in worse shape for storage.
Such fruit spoils the market temporar-
and even this soon after Christmas
we are paying high prices again for
good apples.
The value of careful spraying is well
shown by q test in which the college
co-operated with % orchardists and
sprayed each orchard four times q
year at a cost of $22.26 an acre. The
