Do YOUR PRUN.
| ing this MONTH
The Article Below Was Furnished
By Prof. Guuber, Teache.
Of Agriculture Here

If you have not pruned your
trees it should be done this
month while the trees are yet
dormant. If pruning is delayed
until the sap starts, the growth
of the tree is checked consider
ably and where the pruning is
severe, may result in low yield
Of ruit.
n order to secure satisfactory
results it is necessary to know
why pruning is practiced.
l. To remove dead or diseased
wood.
2 To direct the formation of
the top in young trees.
3. To open out the top of the
tree so that sun and air may be
admitted to help color the fruit.
5. To correct undesirable
habits Of growth. Some trees
are found that are not properly
balanced on all sides and certain
varieties are too spreading while
others are too upright.
3. To remove all int rlacing
branches and water sprouts.
6. 70 head hack or sh 'r,en in
the top o. the tree. Heading
back tn tree makes pruning.
SPRAY ing and harvesting more
economical.
7. To regulate the amount OF
fruiting wood Trees that are
not pruned will have more frui,
than the tree can properly nature
resulting ia large yield of in
ferior fruit. Pruning will alsC
encourage fruitfulness in tree:
inclined 10 a rank growth.
1t is we'll to have in the mind:
eye tie deal that is desired. A
desirable apple tree should bt
headed from fourteen inches Z
two feet from the ground, have
three To five main branches pro
} perly balanced and some distanc,
} apart on the trunk, should hav'
an open job, he fairly spreadin,
and free from dead or diseased
wo d and interlacing branches
The proper method of pruninI
! is to first remove all dead o
diseased wood next remove a
