| B Scientific Farming CARE OF FRUIT TREES. Growing Them For Home Use In the Great Plains Region. [Prepared by United States department of agriculture.] After thé young trees are in the ground one of the first operations which demands the careful attention of the orchardist is to head the trees back to the desired height. Farmers’ Bulletin 727, “Growing Fruit For Home Use In the Great Plains Area,” -states that under Great Plains conditions the main stem or trunk of the tree should not exceed two or two and a half feet in height, measuring from the surface of the ground after the tree is planted. In many cases the heads may well be formed even lower than this, as trees with low heads are not as likely to be injured by the sun or wind. Although there is considerable difference of opin- ion as to the proper method of shaping the permanent head of the tree, con- ditions in the Great Plains area are such, says the bulletin, that an open head which develops from a few main branches is preferable to one so man- aged that it becomes dense and bushy. To develop an open head only four to six branches should be left when the tree is pruned at the time it is planted or when it is formed later if one-year-old trees have been used. These branches should be selected with a view to their position on the trunk. They should be arranged symmetrical- ly and spirally about the trunk and should start from different levels, thus leaving some space vertically between the different limbs. If two limbs YOUNG APPLE TREE IN JULY OF SECOND BHASON'S GROWTH PRUNED WITH A VIEW TO DEVELOPING OPEN HEAD. branch from the trunk at the same lev- el there is much more danger that they will split down in later years under the welght of a large crop of fruit or during a heavy wind than where the formation is as suggested above. The branches selected for the per- manent top of a two-year-old tree should be cut back considerably at the time the tree is planted. If the tree has made a fairly vigorous growth in the nursery the preceding season one- half or two-thirds of the length, as a rule, may be cut away. The tillage or cultivation of a frult garden or orchard in the Great Plains reglon should be very thorough and should be continued fairly late in the season. The ground should be gone over frequently enough to destroy ‘weeds before they have made any con- siderable growth to prevent the soll from blowing and to insure against any run off during heavy showers. The growing of cover crops and green manure crops is not recommended, as these crops draw so heavily on the molsture in the soil as to overbalance any benefits which they ordinarily give in maintaining the fertility of or- chard sof] in humid and irrigated sec- tions. The humus furnished by such crops in sections where they can be grown must be supplied here by apply. ing manure or vegetable matter ir some other form. For a similar reason the interplant Ing of crops between the-rows of trees in young orchards, as is common- ly done in commerclal frult growing sectlons, cannot be recommended in this area. “Keep the top of the tree sufficiently open to admit air and sunshine free- 1y,” is a cardinal rule to follow in prun- ing frult trees, says the bulletin. One of the commonest faults to be found with fruit trees on many ranches in the Great Plains area, and elsewhere for that matter, is the density of the tops. This fault is the natural conse- quence of planting trees without prop- erly forming the heads at the time they are set out and of improper prun- ing or no pruning at all in after years. Early Training For Colts. The proper training of the colt to harness really begins while he is suck- ing, for it is by careful and continued cultivation of his temperament that It f| is possible to teach him subjection; hence it is an item to begin early. Do not neglect the feet of the colts. Keep the surface or part that comes in contact with the ground always-level and the toe well rounded, so as to pre- vent breaking of the walls of the hoofs, HRK KK KKK KK KKK KKK * BLACKDUCK LAKE X ¥ (By Special Corréspondent) XK KKK K KKK KKK KKK Among the Minneapolis summer resorters in-Budd’s cottage on the lake are the Misses Ditty, Miss Erick- || son, Miss Pitcher, Mr. and Mrs. Woodside, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Budd and daughter, Edna.
