Pruning Fruit Trees

One Of the most frequent causes for
the death of fruit trees is sunscald.
Mr.. A. F. eager Of the North Da-
kots Agricultural College states that
sunscald is a form Of winter injury
and occurs where the trunk of the
tree ID exposed to the direct rays
Of the sun. If you have trees which
are falling, take look at them, and
see II it 10 not the sunny side that
is dead. When new trees are set try
to get as short trunk as possible.
With older trees do not make the mis-
take of cutting of the lower branches.
These protect the trunk and if remov-
ed may permit the tree to be killed.
Often the owner Of tree says, "The
limbs were dead 80 removal was nee
essary. Quite true but why were they
dead, was it not because they had
been shaded out and crowded out by
limbs higher up. Before these limbs
are dead is the time to look out for
them. If the limbs higher up are thin
ned out 50 as to permit the entrance,
of light to these lower branches there
is no reason for their dying. Don't
prune the trees up but do thin out
the top. It will make the trees more
healthy and produce more and bet
ter fruit.
