mercial crop of peaches in Connect

while in WicOmicO county there has
been an so per cent kill on the Ell
berta variety, and from 80 to 95 per
cent kill On the Hale. No heavy dam
age has been reported on peaches
IN pennsylvania, but severe injury
has resulted in some sections of Vir-
ginia and West Virginia.
Director c. A. McCue of the Della
ware Experiment Station states
that the best treatment for winter
injured peach trees is to prune mod
erately, fertilize we'll, and give good
management during the following
growing season. Growers are war
ned to not practice ''dehorning'' ex-
cept on very young trees, although
moderate pruning is much to be de-
sired over no pruning under these
conditions. A high renewal pruning
will prove most efficient to offset
winter injury of peach trees, and
will force them into growth condi-
tion for a 1886 crop of peaches.
In regard to spraying at this sea-
son Of the year, growers have been
advised also to not apply any dor
D'ant sprays when freezing temper
atures are likely to occur before the
spray has had an opportunity to
dry on the trees. For the control Of

mended that growers use the COM

The z per cent decrease in pro-
