SPRING PRUNING BEST IN . THE
GRANDE KONDE.
HortlculturlNt Points Way to Orchard
Men of Union County.
(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. In order to prove
