Tree spacing for many of our

at Benton City, quoted us the fol.
lowing results from his tree spac-
ing in the removal of peach filters
His 1927 crop, which was the heavy
crop and including extra fancys
fancys and G. grades, was 298l
boxes on 200 trees of Winesaps
Of this number, 1927 were extra
fancy, 1851 fancys, and 2O2 were
G grades. In 1928, which was the
first year, according to Mr.. Hen
sen, in which he really benefited
by his tree spacing and which wa'

Mr.. Hensen's orchard was not a!
badly crowded as some other or
chards that we know of in thu
county, and we especially recon-
mend that growers with orchards
so thick that one cannot see an op

should consider very carefully TIN

feels that his orchard may be com

faults of many of our matured
trees now have, and one of these
is the fact that to many leaders
have been left and these leaders
have all left the trunk at practlc-
ally the same point. In the head
ing of the young trees at the pres
emit time, definite attempt Is pc
inc made to get a spread OF two
feet between the bottom and TOP
leader. Many times this can be Sc
cured much easier than the grower
thinks for when once the system u
nrunine which will develop TINS
kind of a head has been deVeiopeu
- him We would recommend that
Growers interested in shaping up
vo,no trees for the first year, get
IN touch with the county agent or
visit the farm that was visited IN
his community to study the type
of heading done by Mr.. Armstrong.
Mature cherries should be prun-
ed very little, doing only enough
thinning out to keep the center a
little open and remove branches
which interfere with each other.
One should not allow cherries to go
too long in an archard where they
have been planted too close, as tnls
has a tendency to increase the up
ward growing habit
In the pruning Of prunes one
must watch the growth OF the tree.
If the tree is not vigorous and has
a lot of fruit spur wood, then one
must spend quite a little time IN
thinning out spur wood SO as to re-
duce bearing surface and by TINS
cutting, stimulate the new wood
growth which will in turn increase
size and quality of fruit. Where
the trees are vigorous and there
seems to be an abundance of wood
growth, one should be very careful
about the removal of very much
wood.
In the pruning of our peach trees
only enough pruning should be
done the first year or two to begin
to form a good head and these
should he formed low. Following
this, no heading back of any conse-
auence should be done for several
years and only a moderate amount
Of thinning out until the tree comes
into bearing. For the mature tree
only, one must constantly attempt
to keep the head open so as to be
able to renew wood near the center
of the tree. Considerable heading
back and thinning should be done
on the mature tree SO as to keep
fruit wood low and not too abund-
ant. For this years pruning of the
peach tree, Mr.. Armstrong advises
very strongly that one allow the
trees to go without any pruning
if possible until such time as the
tree comes into bloom and deter
mine possible loss from freezing.
In pruning of our apple trees,
one must watch the tree closely in
order to prune TO the best advan-
tage. Trees which show little vigor
should have lot of the spur wood
removed or shortened 80 as to in
crease the twig growth. A careful
study made at the experiment sta
ton at Wenatchee last year show
ed that there was definite re-

COLD COULD NOT OVER
COME PRUNING INTEREST

While the weather for the last
half of last week was certainly
severe, yet the attendance at the
pruning demonstration meetings
indicated that there was consider
able interest in the pruning prob
lem of the county. While the
crowds were not as large as UNI
doubtedly would have been present
had the weather been anywhere
near normal, yet of all the 10
meetings scheduled, there was at
least small crowd at every place
with the exception of one and we
are not certain but what our fail
ure to get to that place until 20
minutes late was the cause OF no
attendance.
While the weather was severe
Wednesday afternoon when the
work started in the Kennewick
district, there was a very good at
tendance. Twenty seven met at the
Anderson farm in the valley for the
pruning of Delicious and Winesap
apples and prunes. Eighteen were
present at the j. A. WcLean farm
to follow pruning of peaches and
apricots. Thirty were present at
the John Ferguson place to follow
pruning of young and mature
sweet cherries and 10 were present
at the Kershaw place to follow the
pruning Of Winesap, Jonathan and
Rome Beauty apples.
While the mercury dropped to
Is below that night and the first
meeting Of the next morning was
scheduled at Richland at $3.50, 2
oraved the weather and were pres
emit for this meeting on pruning
of sweet cherries. Three were pres
ent at the pruning for apples at
the John Erickson place at Rich
land.
The host for the pruning DEM
onstration meeting at Benton City,
Jim Hensen and his SON Roy Hen
sen provided the only artificial
heat at all of the pruning demon
stration meetings. Two orchard
heaters were used here to assist
people in keeping warm during the
pruning of the apples which had
been pruned last year. The crowd
then visited young cherry orch
ard and then went to four-year-
old peach orchard. The total at
tendance at these three places was
Is. The meetings in the Prosser
community were scheduled for ap-
pies alone and it is probable that
this accounted for the rather low
attendance in the Prosser commun-
ity, along with the severe weather
of Thursday afternoon.
Both meetings at White Bluffs
were fairly well attended Friday
morning and the meeting at Han
ford, we would say was very well
attended considering the weather.
Interest in the soft fruit seemed
to be the thing which was upper
most. In nearly every community
proper heading of young trees was
stressed by Mr.. Armstrong. Grow
ers are interested in producing a
tree which will not have serious

RIGHT GRAIN RATION
FOR DAIRY FEEDING

The type of grain ration to feet
dairy cows depends upon the kinds
and quality of the roughages avail
able. 1t is generally known thai
well matured corn silage, when fer
with good quality alfalfa hay, viii
meet all of the requirement of
medium producing cow. Cows pro
ducing above 20 pounds of milk
should receive grain in quantities
proportionate to the butterfat con
tent.
The grainmixtures listed below
may be fed as follows: 1. Feed one
pound of concentrates per day fol
each pound Of butterfat the COW
produces per week, or 2. Feed one
pound of grain per day for 8 or 4
pounds of milk, depending on its
butterfat content. Cows producing
5 per cent milk should be fed 1 to
8 pounds while low testing cows
producing per cent milk, should
he fed / to 4 pounds.
A general rule for feeding the
roughages is; for each 100 pounds
of live weight, feed three pounds
of silage and / pound of hay, or
8 pounds of roots, and 1-2 pound of
hay, or 5 pounds of roots and l
pound of hay, or all the hay the
cow will consume.
-. Grain Mixtures -. -. -.
1.-Ground Barley, 100 pounds;
ground oats, 100 pounds; mill run
or bran, 100 pounds.
Ground barley, 400 pounds;
ground oats, 800 pounds; wheat
bran, 200 pounds, and oil meal, 100
pounds.
3.-Ground oats, 300 pounds;
ground barley, 200 pounds; ground
wheat, 100 pounds.
Aground corn, 300 pounds;
ground oats, 200 pounds; ground
barley, 100 pounds.
If these grain mixes prove rath-
er high in price they may still be
more economically fed over mix
ture containing large quantities OF
feeds which are similar in feed
ing value and are not balanced
when used to supplement alfalfa
hay, such as wheat bran or mill
run.
Many dairymen are feeling that
prices for good concentrates are
getting beyond the ability of their
cows, considering the prices receiv-
ed for butterfat and milk. In most
cases, these mixtures would JUSTIFY
their use in the proper proportions
provided none of the feed is given
to low producing cows. There is no
effective way of lowering the cost
per unit Of producing milk than
of sending two or three of the tail
end cows to the butcher. Keeping
production records is the only way
of knowing which cow to dispose
of. Even if one cannot have mem
bership in testing association
he can keep record of the quaint
ity of milk produced by each COW
as also the amount and value OF
the feed required. February is q
good month to begin keeplnk rec
