QRCHIARD GLIANINGY ANNUAL PRUNING OF PEACHES Tree Requires Constant Care for Profitable Crops—Ice and Snow Liable to Injure, The peach is a fruit that requires <onstant care or profitable crops can- qot be produced. Annual pruning is necessary and the low-headed tree ‘must be developed carefully for it is @ tree of that type which is easiest %o harvest, thin and spray. The low- theaded thee 18 less apt to break when covered with ice and snow or heavily loaded with fruit, writes R. G. Kirby .of Ingham county in Michigan Farm- er. The pench wood is brjttle and if dong ilimbs are not cnretully pruned and headed back, it is' sure to result 4n breakage, especially at the crotches. If a strong limb on the young peach tree grows in the direction of the' pre- vailing winds in the section, it pays 'to encourage that limb to develop and ‘thus prevent the tree from becoming Iop-sided. If some judgment is not wused in heading the young tree into the wind, an entire orchard may soon Jowing too much of the wood to grow ‘in one direction. The open-center is necessary. The foliage of the peach-tree is dense and ‘peaches sell best which show a blush 4nstead of being dull and green. It is the sunshine on the fruit which makes the blush and by so keeping the mid- «dle of the tree open, the grower is :able to bring the light to the peaches :and they are improved in appearance -and market value. - Limbs - should not'be allowed to cross. If this occurs, one of the limbs qmay be weighed with fruit and bear -down upon the other, increasing the danger of breakage.

The fruit buds of the peach are formed on the previous year’s growth of wood. In pruning out the new wood be sure and leave enough to insure a good crop. Moderate thinning of the gew wood helps to thin the crop and this is a much less expensive form of thinning than the removing of a part of the young.fruit after it has bern formed. The amateur grower can learn a great deal about the pruning of peaches by visiting the orchard of a skilled grower and studying the symmetrical form of the trees.

' Then again, the after effecs of Influenza are often even more distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if You use Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Though the greatest danger from chis disease is Pneumonia, 1 have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was freely given.
