Blacksmith and Wagonmaker HORSE SHOEING A SPECIALTY 25 Years Experience EFFECT OF WATER ON BUDS DISCUSSED An I'xclmiiKi' Hay tu part: la an eawtera Jrult periodical a "practical Irrigation enKlnin-r" dU cuhhch the riueHtlon, "How much water Hhonld an apple tree tfet to lunure a perfect crop thin year and provide (or another one next year?" TIiIh expert annuiix-a that certain points are settled and he starts out wrong and w lllcontlnue togo wrong unleHs he can be made to see his er ror. lie minks that the reason there are successions of good and bad crops Is owing to the fact that there Is a deficiency of water at the time of the formation of the fruit buds for the next year's crop. He states his case thus: 'Apple trees need the largest sup. ply of moisture during the time that the fruit Is growing rapidly, and the theory Is that as the following year's fruit buds are being formed about this time, a deficient supply will stunt the growth of the fruit buds which will cause u short crop the following year." This man U no doubt a competent engineer, but Is absolutely lacking In a knowledge of plant physiology If he succeeds In his experiments and furnishes valuable Information he will have to learn something of this kind of physiology. There are two fatal mistakes In this engineer's statement quoted above and they are, first, that fruit buds form "during the time when the fruit Is rapidly growing," and, sec ond, that an Increase of moisture cuuses the Increase of fruit buds( Just the opposite of both these po sitions Is true. The mistake made by the irriga tion engineer grows out of the old exploded Idea that fruit buds and leaf buds are formed as two distinct classes of buds, which Is erroneous, They are all alike until the leaf buds or vegttatlve shoots are changed Into fruit buds In the latter part of the season, and that, as we have seen, Is effected by the checking of the growth by holding up the supply of water. So long as we keep up heavy Irri gation fruit budscnnnot iK-extenslve-ly formed. We must not carry this too far or we may Injure the fruit on the trees fur too much drought will retard the growth of apples and they will not color so well. We know from our experience that If a tree Is missed In Irrigating the npples will not color as well ns the ones on fairly well watered trees. Kxtremes either way are to be a voided for the best results.
