The ideal conditon, then, is to kee; the tree in a state of vigor equal to ; that of the tree that has been bear- ing three or four years, and has not come into the -habit of alternating. The most desirable method of doing this is by pruning just severely nough to keep the tree in the condi- tion of growth of the young tree. If this kind of pruning is practiced, it will probably be a simple matter to keep the tree from ever starting the ulternating habit. Pruning to Renovate an Old Orchard.

We have had occas to observe this in the Missouri E periment Station orchard and in other orchards of the state. However, there are exceptions to this rule. Thus, in very poor soils or in the case of trees on sod, they may become barkbound, and in this case a tree that is severe- ly pruned may at the end of the year be larger than a tree that was un- pruned. That is, in a poor soil the tree annually pruned is likely to be lurger than the one receiving no pruning. In some cases it is desirable to dwarf a tree—to keep down its size— especially if the trees were set close together. Trees twenty-five feet apart that are kept down in size by prun- ing are more desirable than larger trees thirty or thirty-five. feet apart, since spraying, pruning and picking may be more cheaply done. Pruning to Regulate Form. Whether the open head is more de sirable than the tree with a centra. leader, there is a considerable differ- ence of opinion among orchardis< The advantages of the open head ar that all the fruits receive sufficien sunlight; that there is more fruiting wood for the same size tree; and that pruning, picking, and spraying can be done cheaper. The tree with the cen- she is, between the producing West and the consuming East, she is the natural ground for fitting the raw ma- terial for market. “Kansas City is the doorway to the areat Northwest. Cattle and sheep that supply the meat-eating people of America come largely from the West. They are shipped to Kansaz City to be fattened in the corn beit. On the natural road to the consuming East, stands Missouri, with her large are- age of corn and hay and her un- equalled bluegrass pastures, ready to fit this stock for market. “Missouri has had an important place in live stock production ever since the civil war. The men who bring weir stock to Kansas City from the West, look to Missouri, largely, for pure bred stock to take home. “In light horse and mule production Misouri is second to no cther state. The Missouri mule still holds its high rank. Texas has more mules, but they lack the quality of the Miscouri mule. | “Missouri ranks well in the produc- tion of cattle, sheep and hogs.
