Winter Problems OF The Orchard To
Be Discussed Wednesday Morning

Orchard men of Southside Viz
ginia will have their annual field
meeting Wednesday. Oct 81. at
Sunny Slopes orchard near
Burkeville, according to f. F.
Striplin. Prince Edward County
agent.
Apple harvest is about complete
in this area, This fall season ac-
tivity is no sooner over than VIM
ter problems begin. said Striplin.
The orchard man with peaches
has the cover crop problem. prun-
ing job to do, dead or Gull trees
to remove, and other preparations.
The apple grower must start
mouse control.
Few people realize it. but a big
problem for apple growers is the
control of mice. These rodents
have splendid cover to protect
them and they feed all winter on
the tender bark covering apple
tree roots They frequently kill
the trees or reduce the vitality of
the tree
Apple growers must, therefore.
protect trees from these rodents.
Also they have pruning job to
do. sprayers. equipment and ma
terials to repair. replace and Sc
cure. The dormant spray must be
applied during the dormant sea-
son. All of these jobs keep or
chard men busy through the
winter.
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1956-10-30

Since there are frequent recon-
mended changes in spray mate
rails. mouse control measures. and
other timely suggestions by re-
search men. orchardists find it
necessary to meet two or three
times year to keep up to date"
on methods and means.
County Agent Striplin reports
that fruit producers of Southside
Virginia are invited to the field
meeting at BoSwell's Sunny Slope
Orchards Wednesday of this week.
Since this is the only field meet
ing of its kind in the area this
fall. orchard men of Amelia. Not
toway. Chesterfield. Lunenburg,
Mecklenburg, Charlotte and
Prince Edward and neighboring
counties are invited.
Fred Dreiling. horticulturist for
the Extension Service of V. P. l..
and DR.. Rollins, of the Virginia
Agricultural Experiment Station,
Will attend the meeting. They will
have spray equipment Of various
kinds TO demonstrate the latest
control measures for mice. They
