II is well understood by mos1
orchardists that the pruning OF
young apple trees is practlced &c
develop a strong framework ca,
nabIe of supporting large crops OF
fruit with the least breakage OF
he branches.
The following information, there
are, may serve as general guide
in pruning young trees during the
first few years.
Two kinds of trees usually are
purchased; namely, one-year and
two-year or older. The one-year
trees in most cases are straight
whips without lateral Or side
branches, while the two-year trees
nave lateral branches and usual
ly two upright central branches.
In starting with either type of tree
the main objective is to practice
the kind of pruning that will de-
velop framework having its
main branches distributed far
apart along the body of the tree
so that the foliage and fruit will
have access to sunlight and air,
and to permit a good coverage
Of spray materials.
The pruning of a one-year tree
after planting consists of remov-
ing from one-third to one-fourth
of its height in order to re-estab-
lish a balance between the root
system and the top. By the end

North Carolina can grow almost

North Atlantic states with some
thing in addition, concluded L. B.
Skeffington, veteran newsman with
the Cannot public atoms of Roches-
ter, New York, after visiting in this
state following the meeting of the
National Grange at Winston-Sa,
lem. The Gannett reporter con-
ducts a daily column on agricul-
ture and related subjects in the 81
daily papers published by his Or
ganization and has covered the ma
ton in finding out about farming
matters. Following the Winston
meeting, he expressed a desire to
see something of the cotton, tobac-
CO and peanut sections of North
Carolina and trip was arranged
for him to visit ten or twelve of the
eastern Carolina counties.
In Nash county, Farm Agent M.
E. HolloWel showed the reporter

is noted now for the excellence Of
it's All club work and for the state
champions which have been deve1-
oped in the last two or three years.
Mr.. Hollowell said that the careful
local leader supervision had been
primarily responsible for much OF
this. The county gets most of its
income from tobacco and cotton
but lately has been turning to poul-
try, swine and dairy cows. 1t is a
country of small farms which are
rapidly becoming among the best.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-P)-
For a change, the Treasury is

Pruning Fruit Trees
In The Victory Plot

of the first growing season the
one.year tree or whip will have
taken on a form having lateral
branches and one or more leaders
for central branches below the
point where the tree was cut back
at planting time. The form or
framework of the pruned one
year tree after one season
growth will be very much like a
two-year tree obtained from the
nursery and from thereon the kind
and degree of pruning will be SIM
liar.
Several of the larger laterals or
fside branches of the two-year tree
arising from the trunk are select
ed. They should be distributed
about the trunk six or eight inches
apart and with the lowest branch
at least two feet above the ground.
In addition to the selected lateral
branches only one of the leading
or central branches arising at the
top of the tree should be left. II
two upright central branches
growing close together are allow
ed to develop one will suppress
the growth of twigs on the side
adjacent to the other. All other
branches on the tree are pruned
away except the small spur-like
growths which developed on tae
body of the tree in the area OF the
scaffold limbs. If the lateral
branches which have been select
ed are not over two feet long and
have their side shoots well dis
tributed along the stem they need
not be cut back. On the other
hand, if they are long and willowy
and have their side shoots confin-
ed near the tip they should be cut
back. The leading or central
branch should also be cut back but
less severe than the laterals.
After the framework has been
started as described above, light
pruning should be practiced in
subsequent years by thinning out
or removing sucn lateral branches
arising from the main body of the
tree which interfere Or crowd the
ones which have been selected to
form the framework.
Annual cutting back the terminal
growth of every branch after the
second years growth should not
be practiced. This kind of prun-
ing is necessary only with long
willowy branches in order to force
the branching near the body of
the tree, do not remove the spur
like growths being developed on
the framework of the tree for here
is where the first fruit is produc-
ed.

Carolina Farm Comment
BY FRANK H. JETER

spite the higher cost of producing
this crop In comparison with cot
ton. Grower after grower told Mr..
Skeffington of having received as
high as so cents a pound and more
for their leaf this past season.
In Pitt county, tobacco also is
the principal crop and there is
much money in circulation. The
farmers are growing some truck
crops and are giving attention to
dairy cattle, swine and poultry.
Hybrid corn is being produced by
many of the leading farmers with
Brantley Speight of Winterville be-
ing one of the few breeders recog-
nized by the North Carolina Crop
Improvement Association. Pitt
county tobacco growers also are
developing and increasing the new
tobacco varieties resistant to black
shank and Granville wilt. Assistant
Farm Agent Sam Weeks said the
county is getting to be a giant lab
oratory where new farm facts as
developed by the North Carolina
Experiment Station are Being test
ed by practical growers. The coun-
ty is noted for it's fertile lands yet
livestock men have found recently
that the soil lacks something need
ed by cattle for their best devel-
opment. This is being overcome bv
the use of a simple mineral mix
ture made available In all feed
lots.
Mr.. Weeks said this mixture re-
places some of the minor elements
lacking in the soil, the absence of
which is almost disastrous to sue
cessful livestock production. The
mixture is made up in 500-pSund
lots by using 200 pounds of ground
limestone, 200 pounds Of steamed
bone meal. 1878 pounds of common
salt, II pounds of iron sulphate or
copperas. one-half pound of copper
sulhate or bluestone. and two
10ths of pound of cobalt chloride.
This trace of cobalt is said to be
one of the most necessary of all
the six elements added. A feed
dealer who has been mixing the
minerals for dairymen and others
said that eight tons of the mate1.al
were used during the past sum
mer.
At Snowfall in Greene county, at
Goldsboro in Wayne. Lumberton IN
Robson, Raeford in Hoke and at
Carthage in Moore. the visiting
newsman heard the same story
about the high interest in tobacco
and the decreased interest in cot
ton. In Hoke however. he did find
a group of cotton growers deter
mined to stay in the business and
with a definite program of grow
ing only one variety of cotton
throughout the whole county. This
group won silver trophy cup last
year for having made the greatest
improvement in its cotton produc
ton and is making a determined
effort to win the second cup this
season. The Sandhills with their
peach orchards, dewberry fields
and the new turkev and poultry
flocks were a source of surprise
Some of the growers said that had
ii not been for the prisoners of war
from Camp Mackall they never
could have gathered their peach
crop this past season. Right now
the war prisoners are being used
to prune the trees in preparation
for A new crop.
Over all the territory visited. we
found great interest in the growing
of winter crops and there are more
green fields in North Carolina this
year than ever before. Winter
farming, says the growers. pays
about as we'll as summer farming
