Sunscald in Orchard Is
Quite Severe in Winter

Just from the sound of the name one
would think sunscald summer trouble
in the orchard. 1t Is true the hot sun
in summer especially In some regions,
may cause the trouble, but sunscald
may occur in Its worst form In winter,
as WELL
During many winter days the suns
heat may warm up the southern or
southwestern sides of trunk and
branches to the thawing point. At
night the wood freezes again. II this
alternate freezing and tlawing contin-
ues for any considerable length of time,
the bark on. the exposed side of the
tree will die and split off. The broken
bark offers point of entrance for fun
gous tree diseases of many kinds.
which may ultimately kill the tree.
Where conditions are especially bad
1t will pay to shade the southwest por-
tions of the trunk; branches, corn
stalks, straw or similar material bound
about the branches will give excellent
protection.

Experiment to Determine
Danger of Salt for Hogs

An experiment to determine the dam
ger of salt was carried out in Indiana
with the conclusion that hogs will not
eot too much salt of their own accord.
For example, water and feed were
withheld for "a hours from 30 pigs av-
eraging 100 pounds in weight. The
pIgs were then given two self-feeders,
one with salt and the other with corn.
As soon rs the hogs had eaten their
fill water was kept before them at all
times through the balance of the eX-
periment. After 80 hours 1t was found
the hogs had eaten but four pounds OF
salt. or slightly more than two ounces
of salt n pig. The same results were
found with another lot Of pigs. They
even tried mixing salt with shorts, but
in six DAYS the pigs refused to eat the
very salty shorts though they ate self
fed corn and tankage readily. Salt
noisoning will likely occur when ram
water gets into the salt trough ana the
nIgs drink the brine, but self-fed ory
saIt is perfectly safe according to e1'
detrimental evidence.
The Dolores star., 1923-12-21

on the table and push them forward
for the successive cuts, one removes
and piles the blocks, and fourth
keeps the logs and poles up to the saw.
Under average conditions such an out
fit should saw about twenty cords of
wood into l. or 1G-inch stove lengths
in ten-hour day. For small wood,
three men should be able to keep the
saw busy. If the wood is piled near
the saw, one man ordinarily can keep
the saw supplied and the sawyer will
need no helper.
In saving poles two men can work
effectively, and even one man alone is
better off for having power-saw out
fit.
However, under ordinary conditions
with the limited amount of wood neces-
sary TO keep one family through the
winter, good plan is for several farm
ers to club together and buy an outfit
which can be moved from one place to
another The original cost will not be
Il serious factor on Il partnership basis,
and the cost per cord will be reduced
to a point where the outfit will pay for
itself in a few years at the outside.
The cooperative plan also suggests
wood bees" and the exchange of
work will save cash-labOr outlay at a
season when time is more plentiful
than money.

Select Only Best Trees
for Planting in Spring

One reason for the decay of the
home fruit orchards and gardens has
been the increase of insect enemies
and the slow growth of the spraying
methods. 1t is hard to get farmers to
spray, and those who do not spray
keep up the supply of insects to make
the work of spraying harder and less
effective for those who do. Until we
get laws that compel the spraying of
all fruit trees we will have this same
condition more or less prevalent. An
other thing that has stood in the way
of farm-grown fruits has been the
neglectful way in which they have
been cared for ordinarily. The or
chard has been allowed to grow with
almost no care, often in sod from the
start 1t has had no enriching since
the trees were planted. and the borers
and other insect pests have had full
sway. The result has been small
production of an inferior quality of
fruit. and If crop was produced no
market could be found for the surplus.
for people do not buy inferior fruits
these days. They are in the habit of
demanding good fruit or none.
When the fruit-tree agent comes
around do not let him do the selecting
for your planting. Make up your list
of varieties before he comes. or else
request him to come back some 9th
er day, when you are ready for him.
II he happens to know what varieties
are standard. which many of them fail
to know, the chances are he will ad-
wise you to buy some Of his new sorts
that ha says are so much superior.
When we consider that only one out
Of hundred of these new varieties
ever becomes standard we can see
what risk we run in buying them.
1t does not pay us to grow hundred
trees that are not as good ms the old
standbys to get one that is better.

rabbits and Mice Will
Seriously Iniure Tree

Mice often work a great deal of
havoc in the orchard during the win
ter when their natural feeding grounds
are gone or disturbed By gnawing
the bark of young trees, particularly,
they work great injury to the trees
often killing them.
very simple remedy consists in
tramping down the snow around the
trees after each snowstorm. The
mice work under the snow and when
this is done 1t puts stop to that form
Of activity. But this plan has its dis
advantages. in that it often causes
constant attention to the orchard
where SHOWS are frequent. Wrap
ping the young trees in any substance
which can be put around them. that

worth while. Good building paper.
cornstalks or wood veneer can he
used. Newspapers are probably the
cheapest and most easily applied Of
all coverings. Tie them on with heavy
twine and they will stay on all winter.
Rabbits are also more or less of
nuisance in the damage they cause to
orchards. but a lot of the devilment
charged to rabbits is in fact done by
mice. I have watched the rabbits
around my small fruit, shrubs and
trees this winter, personally following
their tracks each morning to see if
they had done any damage, and so far
they have not, says writer in an ex-
change. But rabbits do, when driven
to eXtremities. cause severe orchard
damage. There can be no doubt about
that.
The only way to get rid of rabbits
is to hunt or shoot them. Trapping
may be effective in some localities,
but in a year such as this. when the
country is full Of rabbits. it would not
prove very effective. The most effec-
tive measure against them is a com
munity hunt, staged now and then.

Steers Clean Up Waste
Feeds on Average Farm

Do not plunge heavily into feeding
because someone else made big money
last year. Also do not stay out be.
cause the last season was n bad one.
The pendulum may swing the other
way in either case.
Keep steers full. The food eaten
over and above maintenance is what
puts on flesh. Nevertheless, excite
nent, mud, discomfort and injuries
from horns Of other steers all increase
maintenance requirement and reduce
gains
Under Colorado conditions, feed
heavily on rOughuge and other cheap
feeds at the start and save the hcav-
lest grain feeding for the last four or
SIX weeks of the fattening period.
