age of the few dollars laid aside for

COUNTY AGENTS
NOTES

We have had the so-called win
ter injury" which Is generally mani
fest by a splitting OF the bark on the
trunks OF the trees. and frequently
a loosening OF the bark entirely
around the body, We have had but
little OF this trouble this year. but
have had an unusually large number
Of fruit trees which have started out
apparently normal In the earlier part
Of the season. leafing out and even
blooming before any injury or
trouble became very noticeable. Then
within a very short time the bloom
would drop, tho leaves seem to get
smaller and even the ends OF the
limbs to die back: consequently the
term "die-black" has been pretty
generally adopted as applying to this
specific disorder.
This has no doubt, been the cause
Of 80 per cent Of the loss of fruit
trees in this section so far this year.
II we desire to use such term
we might apply that of summer in
jury" as more nearly appropriate
than that Of winter injury"
For the most part II Is the mis-
treatment of the tree during the sum
mer. last year. or perhaps It began
longer ago than that time.
II can be prevented by proper ir-
rigation. BY this is meant a uniform
moisture content Of the soil must
be preserved during the growing sea-
son OF the fruit trees, II you have
a soil condition that by certain til
lase methods you can maintain this
moisture. all right. II not. then the
only remedy is to apply water by ar
tificial means.
The tree Is fed by the tender wa
terry rootlets. through which the
tree draws water and FOOD from the
soil These little rootlets are very
sensitive to heat and drought. and
II the soil becomes dry, even for a
short time. these small rootlets will
die and thus cut OF the food and
water supply OF the tree to such an
extpnt Ms tn result in the "die hack"
the following spring.
Anything that may be done at one
season OF the year to increase the
growth OF the trees OF course will
stimulate the growth and develop
ment Of the root hairs and conse-
quently increase the growth OF the
tree. which will In turn make an in
creased demand on the root system
for sustenance. Then II we cripple
