(By George Reiben, Horticulturist at : EaBtern Oregon Experiment Station) Eastern Oregon Experiment Station, Union, Ore., Jan, 20.- The answers which the careless orchardlst has to offer to questions asked him regard ing the brushy appearance of "his or chard are many and sometimes even ridiculous. One will say that he has not the time; another that it Is con trary to the laws of nature; a third that when he was a chlld they grew better fruit than they do now without ever touching a tree with a pruning tool, and so on, but the enterprising fruit grower of today knows that an nual pruning is essential and neces sary for a successful orchard. Modification Prime Motive, ' The reasons for pruning are numer ous, but there are several which apply to fruit in general and they are as follows: First, to modify the vigor of the plants; second, to establish and maintain a balance between the roots and top; third, to regulate the number of fruit buds; fourth; to train a plant to some desired shape so that tha fruit may be cared for and harvested most economically;' fifth, to build up a' stronger tree; sixth, to thin the fruit; seventh, to produce a better grade of fruit; and last (unfortunate ly) In some cases for firewood.' ';;. General Rule Varies Hero. ."Knowing that It Is an advantage to prune the next thing to know Is the date, whether fall or spring. It is generally, considered best to prune In the fall where the weather permits but in the 'Grande Ronde valley and EaBtern Oregon in general the tem perature drops rather low to make fall pruning advisable. In any locality where the temperature goes down to zero or below it is better to delay .pruning until early spring after the cold weather has passed but before j growth has commenced. The reason for this is because tnose Drancnes which are cut off before the zero weather has passed are apt to die back a foot or more which necessi tates another cutting back in the spring. Whatever the time of the year one pruneB, It should never be done when the twigs or branches are frozen. Sharp Tools Essential. It is not necessary for me to sa5 that no stubs should be left and that the cuts should be made parallel to and as near the trunk as possible for the wounds will heal much more quickly If cut off close than If stubs are leit, me tools used in pruning should be sharp so that smooth cuts can be made. Cuts of limbs more than two Inches in diameter should be pro teced troin the action of fungus uis eases by being painted. Any heavy white lead paint is good. By judicious pruning the fruitful nesa of a tree can be regulated at least to a more or less extent. That is, by heavy pruning during the dormant season, trees will produce more wood and less fruit than by light pruniugs either during the growing or dormant periods. Some of the fruit growers of this valley seem to think that summer pruning can take the place of winter pruning but they are mistaken and the sooner they (Ind it out the better it. will be for their orchards at least. Light pruning during the time just before the trees have ceased growth in the late summer may be all right, but all of the heavier pruning should be left until the trees have gone into their rest period. One should strive to, regulate the fruit yield so that a fair crop may be produced each year and this can only be done by heavy pruning in thoso years when an overloading of the fruit trees is expected and by lighter prun iugs in the other years. During the coming year unless another frost strikes Eastern Oregon many of the apple and pear trees will be overload ed and many branches will be broken utiles pruning or propping is resorted to. The latter of these two methods is very expensive to say the least, and by far the best method Is to prune the trees so that they can hold the fruit at least until it can bo thinned. Disinfected Knife Necessary. A very Important Item which Is gen erally overlooked In pruning a pear orchard In this part of the state is the necessity of disinfecting the pruning tools after each cut Is made. These tools unless disinfected are one of the best means of spreading the blight from tree to tree.
