they may be shortened to length Of

IF for any reason the new shoots 0,
the cane fruits have been allowed to
become four to six feet tall without
pinching. they should not be headed
back during the summer Such late
heading would be liable to force th,
production of laterals that would not
mature well before winter, and that
consequently would be. more subject
to winter injury.
AS soon as the frulting season b

the patch or field and burned. Many
growers neglect to remove these Old
canes until the following spring; but
is important that they be removed
promptly. If left during the summs;
and fall months, they hnrbor insects
and diseases that spread to the new
growth, decrease the next years crop

AS matter of fact, the best and most
effective way to deal with the inset

the great barn-like hotels, at the race
