insect infections; spray injury be-
fore. during or after Towering; and
low temperature, cloudiness and cold
continued rains at Towering time
These factors which are more or less
under the control Of the grower are
well recognized and the remedial
agents and methods fairly we'll un-
derstood by the practical grower.
The internal agents are not so
easily evident in the case Of sterility.
But in general they have to do with
the vigor and kind Of pollen and the
ovule itself. In the apple self-ster-
ility to a greater or less amount is
apparently universal. Successful
crosses of a self-sterile variety with
pollen from other varieties indicates
that the trouble is not with the ovule.
And on the other hand successful
crossing by using the pollen from
such a variety on another variety in
dicates that the sterility is not due
to weak pollen.
Investigation has established the
fact that the problem is one Of inter-
relation between the pistil and the
pollen and the pistil tube. 1t has
been found that in the self sterile va
rieties when they are self-fertilized
that the pollen tube grows more
slowly than when the pollen Is de-
! rived from other varieties. Thus in
the self-fertilized flower the rate of
! growth of the pollen tube is so slow
that it cannot traverse the length Of
, the style and fertilize the ovule be-
| fore the ovule withers and dies.
! With the cross pollinated flowers the
| pollen tube grows more rapidly and
| easily reaches the ovule in time for
| fertilization to take place. The ply
steal basis of one form of this steril
| ity lies therefore in some of the fac
| tors which binders or prevents the
growth of the pollen tube in the style
! Of the same variety. While this does
not explain il does locate the point
| of attack to learn the cause. And
| just what constitutes this difference
and how ii may possibly be overcome
! is still a matter for investigation.
! The chief practical points brought
| out in the three letters on apple ster-
ilty of which this is the last are:
! The apple grower should provide
| suitable varieties for pollinators if
large dependable crops are to be had.
Random cross pollination is not
sufficient. 1t is necessary to learn
the compatibility before any conclu-
sion can be drawn as to the varie-
! ty to be selected as a pollinator.
! The introduction Of proper pollina-
| tors increase the yields very mate
| rally.
The size, color and quality of the
fruit are not Influenced by the kind
of pollen but depend upon the fixed
character of the mother parent.
The causes of self and cross steril-
ity are to some extent external and
can be largely controlled by proper
orchard management.
The chief internal cause of steril-
ity is the slowness of growth of the
pollen tube unless'it has been slim
ulated by compatible pollen. This
cannot be controlled or overcome so
far as yet learned other than by
taking steps necessary to provide
compatible pollen by the introduce
! ton of suitable varieties.

Orono Me May 12-The following
was issued this afternoon from the
Office of Charles D. Woods, director
of the Maine Agricultural experiment
station at the University Of Maine:
One might object to cross-pollina-
ton on the ground that when such
cross fertilization takes place a
scrub" is produced which might be
worse than either parent. II such
Of folly to follow the teaching of an
earlier letter in this series. 1t would
be far better for the Maine Agricul-
tural Experiment Station to be con-
tent with the relatively small crop of
apples now being obtained from the
1900 Ben Davis trees than to pro-
duce a poorer apple than the Ben
Davis by cross pollenization!
Neglecting the obvious sarcastic
comment that a poorer apple than
the Ben Davis could not be produced,
that cross -pollination does not af-
feet the quality of the apple is a
matter Of common experience. AS
pointed out in an earlier letter in
this series there are many varieties
Of apple trees that have never been
known to produce a single self -polli-
mated fruit. But to test this out
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1920-05-13

carefully experiments we're made
with varieties that can self-pollinate.
Self pollinated and cross-pollinated
fruits were grown on the same trees.
These were indistinguishabl the one
from the other in every particular so
far as the fruit is concerned. This
would have been expected from the
fact that the apple is like an en-
larged branch of the mother tree. 1t
does not receive anything Of a gen.
etc nature from the resulting union
of the pollen and the ovule. 1t is the
ovule alone that is affected by this
cross pollination. The seeds from a
self pollinated and a cross pollinat-
ed fruit will differ But not the
seed envelopes of which the flesh of
the pome is the part that the apple
grower is interested in. A red apple
will be just as red il pollinated from
a green variety as if pollinated with
red pollen variety. A sweet APP
pie will be just as sweet pollinated
with a wild crab as with sweet
variety. The resulting seeds from
such crosses will be different, but the
flesh or marketable portion will re-
main unchanged
Although it may not have much
practical significance it is a matter
Of interest to learn, as far as one
may, why most apples are self ster-
lie and why some apples will not
cross-fertilize with some varieties
and will with others.
Sterility of the apple is due to
many causal agents, which may be
conveniently grouped as external
and as internal Among the more
common external agents that prevent
fertilization Of the ovule are diseases
affecting the vitality of the trees
such as apple scab. and fire blight;
