THE PROPER PRUNING OF
YOUR NEGLECTED. TREES

Putting neglected trees into good
condition is quite difficult problem
The first thing that the grower should
realize Is that this operation usually
requires more than one year. AS a
rule. the top of Il neglected tree Is a
mass of branches. large number OF
which should be removed. However
III this Is done in Il single season. tho
tree is forced into n heavy top growth
and conditions are almost as bad ut tho
end OF the season they were before
In pruning such tree. tho ilrs,
thing is ocut out the dead wood. This
should be followed by removing the
water sprouts or suckers that have
arisen from the main branches. II
these are not numerous, the more seri-
ously interfering branches will next
receive attention. Usually this il about
all that Is advisable to do the first sea-
son unless il is the intention to replace
the oldNtop. when. of course. the prun-
ing will be much more severe.
Pruning the second season consists
in removing the new growth OF water
sprouts and further opening up the top
! If desirable. Unless the top is to be
removed. 1t is advisable to remove no
more large branches than is necessary
as this is likely to leave large openings
in the tree. If the tree has begun TO
make much growth at the ends of the
branches. these twigs may be headed
in as in the regular pruning.
Pruning should be an annual opera
ton. Many growers prune at intervals
OF three or four years. This is very
undesirable method. The results will
he more satisfactory and less time
will be required to prune at least once
every season than to let the growth
accumulate for three or more years
When done at long intervals pruning
has tendency to retard or diminish
fruit production.
Neglect improper making of
wounds frequently results in serious
injury or even premature destruction
of the tree. In pruning young trees
or where thorough annual pruning is
practiced strong knife and small
hand shears are all tho tools that arc
necessary until the tree reaches the
height where n pole pruner will be
needed for hcadingin the ton branches
on newly set trees. strong knife is
more desirable than hand snears. be-
cause the branches can be cut off
nearer the trunk. BY cutting from
below upward toward the trunk or
branch TO which 1t is attached, quite
large branches may be removed with
out difficulty Care should be taken

DESTRUCTIVE CABBAGE WORM

The most destructive Of the many
insects and other enemies of the cab
bage family is the caterpillar OF the
imported cabbage butterfly. sometimes
called the White Butterfly, a familiar
object 10 nearly every one. This is the
known TO farmers throughout this
country and Europe az we'll and the
butterhSris generally recognized as the
parent 6f the worms.
This cabbage worm has been rightly
termed the bane of the cabbage grow
er and the dread of every careful cook
and housewife. 1t begins work early
in the season; the principal damage Is
therefore TO young plants. and accrues
through the necessity of replanting
with attendant increase in cost of pro-
duction, due to additional labor, cost
OF stock. and delay in getting the early
or better prices in the market After
Kidding the outer leaves. which re-
main afterwards attached to the stalk
the caterpillar attacks the tender inner
leaves as they form, frequently secret
ing itself in the immature heads.
where il is difficult to reach 1t with in
secticides and rendering the cabbage
UNIT for food because of the abundant
Ozark green excrement which it de-
posts. AS result, cabbages before
being sent to market must he examined
carefully and the damaged leaves re-
moved. Before cooking it is frequently
necessary to tear the heads apart to
insure that no disgusting worms are
concealed within. and even after the
vegetable is prepared for the table there
is danger Of an admixture Of animal
matter with the vegetable food. In
cool weather the caterpillar often feeds
freely exposed on the surface of the
leaves in the sunshine.
Frequently the caterpillar bores into

should be made slightly farther from

desirable. There are number of
forms on the market. a good many of
these are desirable. An AK should
never be used.
All branches should be cut off near

attached. the cut being made parallel
