ion regarding the practice of pruning
trees, but the most successful fruit
growers usually prune their trees.
The principal objects may be summed
n, briefly as follows:
I. To modify the vigor of the tree.
2. To keep the tree shapely and
within bounds.
3, To make tho-tree more smoky.
. To open the tree top to admit air
and sunshine.
‘. To reduce the stniggle for exis-
tence in the tree top.
.To remove dead or interfering
branches.
. To aid in stimulating the devel-
opment of ruit buds.
.To thin lhe fruit.
. To make thorough spraying pos~
isibie.
To facilitate the harvesting of
the fruit. '
Obviously the pruning which a tree
receives during, the first two or three
years after it is planted has much to
do '\\‘ll.ll its? future. Mistakes ill formt
ing the bend or the results of neglect
during the early eyars in the life of
a tree are practically irreparable. On
the other bond, if the tree is well
formed) and properly primed during
its first years. the foundation |for a
good tree. is established: subsequent
errors ill pruning, if they occur. may
admit of correction without perma-
nent harm 'to the tree.
The new bulletin explains why in
certain regions where warm periods
of considerable length occur during
the winter, it is well to prolong the
growth of trees until late every sea-
son. The rest period during which
trees generally remain dormant is one »
«by nature.
Until that period is past, when once
the trees have become dormant they
do not respond readily to tempera-
tures which later would cause them
to resume a more or less active eon-
ltf the growth of the tree is
continued actively until the near ap-
proach of cold weather each season
by means of late tillage, nitrogenous
fertilizers, or in other ways. the per-
iod of rest for the tree will-not be
completed until a later time in the
winer. Then if a spell of warm
weather occurs in January, for in-
stance. the tree which would ordin-
arily respond to it. will remain in-
active unil many of the dangers of
