TIME TO START
ON 1922 PROFITS
(By NJ. d. Armstrong;

The time is here when the grower,
need to give careful attention to com
plete the pruning of their orchards
Due to the long period of cold weather
the time left to finish this work is moi
at all too long. Pruning is not ONLY
essential to the production of the larg,
est and most profitable fruit, but it is
also very important in the removal of
disease from the orchard. There, are
many benefits derived from careful an.
nual pruning. | do not care here to try
to state all of them or to state how
pruning shall be done but to call atten-
tion to some of the results of this i'm
portant practice of fruit growing the
handling of which is one of the things
determining the difference between
profit and loss at the end of the year.
Good pruning practices produce larger
and more uniform fruit, fEeer from
mechanical rubbing and tree injuries.
This is very important but the ease
with which we'll pruned tree is kept
free from insect and fungus pests is
increased very much and | wish to con-
slider these advantages.
Limbs which are seriously infected
with anthracnose are a constant source
and not for one year but for three.
Not only are these limbs a source of
infection but when badly diseased thew
are so devitalized that heart rot often
enters and further weakens the tree,
these limbs produce only poor quality
of fruit Much winter injured wood
and bark provide an excellent harbor-
ing place for various insects as we'll as
mnnd Lat hnt
off without many of these limbs, and
many trees are so weak as to never be
able to produce a profit.
Perhaps the greatest gain from good
pruning is the ease and thOroughness
with which the spraying can be done.
Many orchards in Hood River last year
produced wormy crops because the
spraying was not thorough. In some
of these orchards it was impossible to
do thorough spraying even with exces-
sive amounts of spray because of the
tangle of brush in the trees. Apples
cannot be protected from the worm un-
less the spray covers the fruit on all
sides. Thick. woody trees protect the !
apple too we'll from the spray nozzle |
and too little from the worms. This |
which is true of the codling moth is |
also true of the other pests.
Now it is not too soon to start |
profitable year by careful pruning.
The most successful growers as we'll as
the experiment stations have conclus-
lively proved that pruning pays hig in
dollars.
Now is also a good time to be sure
that that sprayer is going to deliver
300 pounds of pressure all the time
that the leaks are stopped; the hose
in shape and the engine and pump
Ieady to stay on the Job when it is
needed. Many growers are finding
that the more powerful rigs are many
times paying interest on the invest
ment.

The curtained off room. however, was

The Woodrow Wilson Foundation
Memorial Fund campaign has been
tagging in this county, no committee
having accepted appointment to head
the canvass for funds. 1t is expected
that the state headquarters will soon
stimulate action by appointment Of
leaders for gathering in the fund.
The mere publication of notices of
the beginning of the nationwide drive,
it is said. has resulted in voluntary
contribution of some $35 to state head
quarters.
The county's quota has been set
at 500.
