the number of apples left as COM
pared to the leaf surface on sever
all smaller branches and see just
what kind of thinning job they
are doing. At all of our thinning
demonstration meetings held dur
ing the past week, a branch was
Trimmed to meet the above stand
ard. When those present We're ask
ed as to how many apples branch
OF the size trimmed should carry,
it usually was from 10 to Is under
the number actually left and vet
every one thought that the thin
ming had been overdone. 1t is for
this reason that we particularly
urge that the growers stop and
check their thinning operations &C.
casionally when starting the thin
ming work this year.
At the six thinning demonstra-
tions held during the past week
the attendance was rather small
in most cases due to almost idea
weather for spraying and the fac
that everyone was busy with theil
spray program. We feel however
that farmers must plan to give 9
little more time to these demon.
stration meetings. We feel thai
there is always some information
worth while presented at these
demonstrations and there is mucl
that is worth while in the way o.
discussion brought out at thes'
meetings.
According to Mr.. Armstrong
who outlined the material present
ed by the county agent at thes'
thinning meetings, thinning pay
from 10 to 100 per cent returns ant
we feel that very few farmer
could not have afforded to have
given the time necessary to enter
into the meetings held.

THE YOUNG DEWBERRY
A PROMISING NEW CROP

The Young dewberry, named fol
B. M. Young of louisiana, who or
iginated it more than 20 years ago
is becoming an important sort in
both the eastern and western parts
of southern United States, accord
ing to George M. barrow, of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, whose trials with this dew
berry a few years ago showed il
to be promising for the south.
The largest centers of production
at present, he says, are in south
ern Alabama and southern Calf
ornia, though there are extensive
paintings near Wilmington, N. G.
and Houston, Texas. Evidence al
hand indicates that it is hardy
from Norfolk, Va, south and west
to include eastern North Carolina
South Carolina, Georgia, and the
states west of Texas, including
Arkansas and parts of Tennessee
and Oklahoma. In California, Ore
gon and Washington it is appar
emily adapted to somewhat great
er range of conditions than is thu
loganberry.
The Young dewberry is favored
because Of its resistance to an
thracnose and leaf-spot diseases
the vigor and productiveness o.
the plants, and the high desser'
quality Of its fruit. Recent test.
indicate that the fruit is wei
adopted to freezing for sale in the
winter season, and its usefulness!
after freezing for preserves, pies
and the table suggests this outle1
as one of the most important fol
this berry.
No planting stock is available
from the department, Mr.. Darrov
says, but prospective growers vii
find the Young dewberry listec
for sale by a number of southern
nursery establishments.

EARLY AND CAREFUL
THINNING PAYS

The fundamental principle of ap-
pie thinning is to improve the
quality Of the apples remaining on
the tree. AS considered in the past,
thinning has had tendency to in
crease the size of apples left as
well as the percentage of fancy and
extra fancy fruit. This year, when
there is possibility of wider,mar-
'kets for Washington fruits, we be-
lieve that the tendency on the part
of the Washington fruit growers
should be to improve the quality
to the highest point possible from
the efficiency standpoint rather
than any letting down of the
grades.
Early thinning has a tendency
first to increase the average size
of the apple crop and thus de-
crease the amount of grading nee
essary at packing time. Early thin
ming also, especially on trees that
are heavily loaded, allows the tree
to overcome the shock Of heavy
set of fruit and come back with a
set of strong fruit buds for anoth-
er years crop. This is one thing
which should he given careful con-
sideration by fruit growers as we
often have complaint of consider
able off bearing in the orchard and
the early thinning should do much
to overcome this. Early thinning,
also by reducing the number Of
apples on the tree, increases the
concentration of sugar solution IN
the remaining apples which has a
tendency to bring coloring of the
apple at earlier date. There are a
number of other advantages of
thinning which we will just briefly
mention, such as better shaped
trees, better pest control, reduced
cost Of harvesting.
AS the result of work done in the
Wenatchee district by DR.. Magness
last year, the experiment station
has recommended the thinning of
apples according to the leaf sur
face upon the tree. A careful study
of the relationship between the
amount of leaf surface and the ap-
pies on the tree showed that good
quality of apple was secured only
when a definite amount of leaf
surface per apple was available.
For the Jonathan this varied from
80 to 40 leaves per apple; for the
Rome Beauty, 35 to 45; and for
Winesaps and Delicious, 40 to 80.
The range within this variation
would depend upon the vigor of
the tree. If q tree shows plenty of
yiror with an abundance of large,
dark green leaves, then one Wine
sap should he left for every 40
leaves, but if the tree shows more
or less winter injury with small
leaves of rather light color, then
the thinning should be done to the
point where only one apple would
remain for every SO leaves, and so
on for other varieties.
MANY growers will say that one
can not stop to count leaves when
thinning and yet no one stops to
count boxes of apples on the tree
when estimating the crop. One can
learn to estimate the number of
leaves as readily as they can the
number of apples, and we believe
