Thinning also has Its direct effect
upon the tree. It allows It to make the
proper wood growth, prevents break
ing of limbs, and allows the tree to
produce, as nearly as possible, uniform
annual crops. A heavy crop usually
follows q light one.
The amount Of fruit that should be
left on a tree is an exceedingly hard
thing to judge and experience Is the
best teacher. Some try to thin to a
certain number Of boxes; others try to
space their fruit. If spacing is fol-
lowed, the apples should not be left
closer than five or six inches apart,
and no apples should be left on the
tree that touch each other. Thinning
may be done by pinching the apple
off with the fingers, but the work may
be done quite handily by a pair Of
thinning shears.

list of Kansas College.

The application Of fertilizers is one
Of the least important factors in fruit
growing, in the opinion Of F. s. Mer-
riIl, assistant professor Of horticulture
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
"Some soils are so extremely fertile
that orchards planted on them have a
tendency to make an excessive wood
growth" said Mr.. Merrill. "This alb
normal growth Of wood tends to cut
down the size Of the fruit crop. On
such fertile soil the use Of fertilizers
is a detriment.
Tin a sandy soil where clean cult
walton Is practiced there may be a
lack Of humus and organic matter.
On such soil it is well to use a fsrtil-
izer.
Except for young peach trees, barn.
yard manure is the only fertilizer that
need be used. It is rich in organic
matter and supplies the soil with all
the material that is needed for orchard
fertilization. The manure should be
applied in the fall and winter at the
rate Of IL to Is tons an acre. In the
spring the manure should be disked
into the ground"

pressure and the angle at which 1t
strikes the obstructing surface. This
nozzle has great driving power and Is
extensively used in the West for the
calyx spray Of apples and pears. ,
The eddy chamber type of nozzle
produces the spray by forcing the liz
uid to rotate rapidly as it is expelled
through a small aperture at high pres
sure which breaks it up into a mistlike
form. There are various devices for
producing the whirling motion. The
character Of the spray is regulated to
a greater or lesser extent by the pres
sure, the size of the aperture and the
relation of the openings in the whtrl-
ing device to the aperture. This is
the type of nozzle used extensively In
the East.
It is desirable to have the opening
of the nozzle at an angle to the rod
as It greatly facilitates putting on the
material. Some nozzles known as an
gle nozzles are so constructed as to
accomplish this. Unless an angle noz-
zle is used, an angle connection Is I'M
perative for efficient work. 81.

of growers. Instead Of pumping lq-

Time and money are lost in attempt
ing to spray with poor equipment.
First-class machinery in good working
order and mixing equipment adequate
for the amount of material to be han
died and designed to facilitate the
preparation of materials and the fill
ing Of spray tanks are essential to
economical and efficient work.
r. The mixing equipment will vary with
the amount Of spraying to be done and
the materials to be used. The home
orchard will demand less elaborate
equipment than a commercial orchard.
Bordeaux necessitates more barrels or
tanks than lime sulphur. In using
bordeaux, four barrels or tanks are
almost necessary. Convenient water
supply Is a time saver In spraying. A
creek or pond in proximity to the or
chard saves much time in pumping or
hauling water. 1t is important, how
ever, that the water be free from grit.
The character Of the pump depends
largely on the size Of the orchard
sprayed. For commercial orchards a
power pump Is most economical. For
the home orchard the hand pump is
satisfactory. A good quality hose
costs less in the end as 1t Is more
durable than the common garden hose.

1t Is the desire of every fruit grower
to produce apples of good size, high
color, fine quality and uniformity. This
is almost impossible without thinning.
No orchardist will thin his fruit so as
to obtain an abnormally large product,
for the market does not demand such
fruit. But it is necessary, with q big
crop, to thin to q point where the most
desirable size for the variety can be
obtained.
. One of the strongest arguments in
favor Of thinning is that it secures
uniform fruit. Another point in its ia
vor is that in thinning n may do
away with a good many worms or scab-
by apples. If apples are allowed to

SPRAYING FOR SCAB
WITH LIME SULPHUR
May Be Combined With Treat
ment for Other Diseases, Such
as Brown Rot and CurGuIio.

Peach scab Is a fungous trouble
which, next to the brown rot, is the
most serious among peach diseases,
can be successfully controlled at small
cost by spraying with %self-boiled lime
sulphur or a solution Of finely divided
wettable sulphur, which Is a mixture
of superine sulphur, glue and water.
The spraying for scab may be COM
bined with treatment for other dis
eases, such as brown rot and plum
curculio.
Spray with %arsenate Of lead and
self-boiled lime-sulphur or finely d.
vided wettable sulphur about a month
after the petals fall. If the latter
fungicide is used, the addition of lime
may be a desirable p%recaution against
.arsenical injury. Late varieties should
be sprayed again in a month.
Where brown rot is injurious spray
with finely divided wettable sulphur
or self-boiled l%ime-sulphur three to
four weeks before the fruit ripens,
but not less than four weeks before
harvest if self-boiled lime-sulphur is
used. The strength of spray prepara-
tons is arsenate Of lead paste,
one and a half pounds Cor powder,
three-fourths pound), in so gallons;
stone lime, two to three pounds in 80
gallons; self-boiled lime-sulphur, eight
pounds of lime and eight pounds OF
flour of sulphur in SO gallons; and
finely divided wettable sulphur, five
pounds in 50 gallons in the case of the
paste, which is approximately SO per
cent sulphur.

An extension rod is necessary in
spraying trees over Z or 8 feet high.
Selection Of Nozzle Important.
Two general types Of MOBILES are
used in orchard spraying. They may
be characterized as the bordeaux and
eddy chamber types. The bordeaux
which is not extensively used In the
East produces its spray by forcing the
material through a small aperture
against a smooth surface. The char
acter of the spray is regulated by the
