course be an exception to this
rule as they have their crop to
mature.
IF in young orchards, one to
five years old some trees in low
places refuse to become dormant
by the middle of September, but
continue to show growth they
should be wrapped around the
trunk with sack to protect them
from the first hard frost of the
fall. The fall frosts do the dam
age to the young trees in the be-
ginning and with cold weather
they often die completely. A tree
to stand the sudden changes of
fall and winter temperatures
must be fully mature: the sap
must be down, the bark tight and
the leaves turning yellow.
The maturing of fruit trees re-
quires several weeks. If given
sufficient time it will become full
ly developed and resistant to cold.
Maturing too early might cause
second growth should the wealth
er turn warm and rainy in Octob-
err like it did three years ago. So
we need to fully mature our or
chards till the leaves turn vel
low by October LIST when they
should be thoroughly wet up for
winter.

TO HARDEN
YOUR TREES
Horace Wray, Nursery
man, Explains How to
Prepare for Winter.

Now is the time to begin harm
ening up the orchard trees for
fall frosts and winter freezes. This
is about the hardest job an orch
ardist has to do because condi-
lions are So different and change
able. For instance young trees
growing in clean cultivated strong
deep soil will need no water at all
after September 1st. The same
tract run to big weeds would
probably need one more drink be-
fore winter moisture comes. And
there is the problem of winter
moisture. Maybe it will come in
November and maybe freeze up
dry. 1t is bad for trees to freeze
up with the ground dry. And again
we do not know when the first
hard frosts will come or the first
cold snap of winter. In addition
to different types of soil, manner
of cultivation and varying climate
there is the different kind of trees
to be considered. Some trees will
sap up with very little moisture
while others are slow. Pears are
slow and cherries and apricots
quick to respond to moisture. The
strength of the soil has a lot to
do with this also. Altogether it is
the most complicated problem that
the orchardist has to contend with
in this district. And it is safe to
add that 90 per cent Of all the
dead and damaged orchard trees
are the result of the wrong. COM
bination of moisture and tempera-
ture.
So it is plain to see that every
farmer has distinct problems of
his own. AS good way as any
is to be satisfied with the seasons
growth by September LIST and be-
gin then to harden up the orchard
for cold weather. Try to get the
leaves to turn yellow by the first
of October. Pinch on water and if
the trees wilt too badly turn on a
big head of water and run one
third of the time required in sum-
mer. Remember that the nights
are getting longer and cooler and
the days shorter and cooler and
the growth in the trees has about
stopped and that a little mois-
ture goes long ways as this time
of year compared with summer
with load of fruit must of
