PRUNE FRUlT-BEARING TREE
Attention Must Be Given to Removal
Of Wood as Well as to Height
and Formation.

tFrom the United States Department OF
Agriculture
In pruning fruit-bearing plant like
the apple attention must be given not
only to the height and formation Of the
head, but to the removal of wood as
well. The apple bears Its fruit on
spurs which are themselves developed
from wood one year or more of age.
For that reason, therefore, the re-
moval of wood which carries fruit
spurs reduces the crop the tree Is
capable of bearing. This then. Is a
practicable way of thinning the fruit.
Besides accomplishing this result prun-
ing can be used to lessen the annual
growth and force the energy Of the
plant which would naturally be used
| In making wood into the fruit, thus in
| creasing its size or enabling the tree
to carry a larger quantity than woulC
be possible were normal wood growth
| permitted.

tivation. If the work is properly done
at the right time, there will be little
difficulty in controlling weeds.
II the work Is to be done with horse
drawn tools, the five-shovel cultivator
Is an excellent tool. as 1t breaks the
surface thoroughly, destroying weeds
very effectively, and leaves the ground
fairly level.
The hand cultivator is a good lmple-
ment. as 1t can be used for small

Some hand work Is always essential.

cultivation Is done. 1t Is good plan
to go over the garden after finishing
with the cultivator and. by means cf
the hoe or rake. pull clods and stones
from around the plants. remove any
weeds not destroyed by the cultivation,
and uncover any plants accidentally
covered by clods or earth during the
cultivation.
1t Is an excellent plan to train to-
matoes, peas. etc, on stakes or other
supports, as this makes 1t possible to
keep the garden In good condition with

There are many styles In summer

exacting In the matter of style in their

The first step In the cultivation and
care of the garden lies In proper plow-
ing. spading and preparation OF the
soil. The entire seeded should be
thoroughly pulverized as deep as the
soil Is plowed. The next step Is to
make sure that the rows are laid out
perfectly straight and far enough apart
80 that when horse cultivation Is en-
ployed there will be sufficient room for
the horse to walk, and SO that when
hand cultivation is to be employed
there will be room for the wheel hoe.
Straight rows enable the gardener to
give the crops better cultivation than
would be otherwise possible.
Frequent shallow cultivation should
be given garden crops. BY keeping the
surface of the soil stirred dust mulch
Is formed, which prevents the loss OF
moisture. In this way weeds are pre-
vented from getting a start.
Cultivate After RaIns
The soil should be cultivated as soon
as dry enough after rain, to break
the crust and prevent baking. Sandy
soils may be cultivated when quite wet.
but clay soils should not be stirred
when wet enough to cling together In
a mass when lightly squeezed In the

TO ERADICATE GARDEN PEST
Most Effective Method Of Combating
Nematode Gallworms 10 to
Starve II to Death.

fPrepared by the United States Depart
! ment OF Agriculture.)
! The very serious losses caused by
the gallworm nematode in gardens, es-
pecially in the South, have resulted In
the trial OF numerous methods of con-
troll One of the most effective meth
DDS yet tested Is to starve the pest.
This may be accomplished by dividing
the garden into two parts, one or when
is available for cultivation, fowls be-
Ing kept on the other half and changed
from one to the other about every two
to four years. The gallworm Is nhso-
lutely dependent on the roots or the
hlpher plants for its nourishment. Ii
no such plants are allowed to grow,
the pest is starved, and In the course
of q year or two 1t eau be brought to
n stage where its ravages will not be
serious.
Alternate Garden and Fowl Run.
The suggested alienation of fowl
run with garden may be brought about
simply by fencing in the fowls. II
possible, 1t would be well to arrange
the division of the land in the direction
of its slope, so that the drainage Will
not be from the garden to the fowl
run or vice versa. The idea is to keep
the fowl run free from vegetation FOR
year or two. This means that about
the maximum number of fowls for the
area must be kept and that the SOL
must be occasionally spaded or other
wise stirred This stirring of the SOL
Is q good thing for the fowls and helps
also TO reduce the nematode pest, FOL
every time the earth is spaded fresr
soil Is brought to the action of the sur
and air and becomes more or less dis
infected through their action on fh'
eggs and larvae of the pest.
There are thousands OF gardens
where this procedure Is practicable
Definite information with regard Il
the existence of the gallworm nema
tode may be obtained by submitting
abnormal roots to the department o
agriculture for examination.
