acreage coming into bearing in this
valley. Trees of this age will natur-
ally produce larger fruit than old
trees hence the necessity Of heavy
thinning is less urgent This is
especially true with the Ortleys On
the other hand, most of these young
trees are located at higher attitudes
with "a shorter growing season than
in the lower valley. The more this
is true the greater the need OF thin
ming. With old trees, most of which
are in the lower valley, the problem
is different They may be expected
TO bear anywhere from 10 to %
loose boxes per tree and more.
Where trees are vigorous fertilizer
applied and considerable cultivation
given, higher yield of desirable
sizes may naturally be expected
tEan from trees OF lower vitality
caused from lack of proper stimula-
tion. The amount of thinning to be
done will have to be decided by the
grower who knows what his trees
have been doing. II the tendency
has been for fruit to run small with
q given load OF fruit the chances
are it will continue so unless chang
ed by different orchard practice
With reference to spacing fruits,
this can often be done to advantage

fruit spurs are non-productive on the

there is borne approximately the

we'll distributed along the whole
branch, what then should be the
practiee7 Thin out only sufficiently

yond that point so-called spacing
as first suggested would result in
overthinning and reduce yields alb

Lastly, let me emphasize that thin.

saves in net value of fruit per acre.
