Not Neglect Practice. to FINE PRODUCT IS RESULT Cost, 6ay Horticultural Authority, Is Less Than That of Handling: Culls Uselessly Experi . ' menu Prove Profit. CORVAlJtJS. Or, May 2.-Speclal.y-Tha tlms for thinning fruit is close at band, so the advice given by an expert authority, such as PTofessor C. I. .Lewis, of the Oregron Agricultural College hor ticulture department. Is timely. "While the practice of thinning fruit Is generally followed by our progressive growers. Froressor Lxwlt says, -nevertheless there are gruwers who do not pay close attention to thinning. There ' Is no ona practice In orcharding that will nay larger dividends. It means the : difference between first-class fruit and cull fruit. Thinning is helpful fa many ways. First, It gives a large pof cent of good fruit. In thinning all malJormed. wormy and diseased fruit must be removed, leaving only the best. This will greatly reduce tha number of culls that will have to be handled in the Fall, and will give a larger percentage of high-class fruit. "I have known growers to have only one box of culls out of 1200 boxes of apples. . t'ltimate Economy Seen. Thla can only be obtained by effi cient spraying, fllowed by careful thin ning. Probably the cost of thinning would be much less than tha cost of handling a large amount of cull fruits. Thinning also has a close relation to the size of the fruit. This is valuable in fruit like peaches. There is no money in growing cull or pie peaches, while there is lots of money in growing and handling first-class peaches, pears, apri cots and similar fruits. "With apples, the largest do not bring the beet prices. The trade seems to want medium sized fruit. It Is possible to regulate the size of the apple by Judicious thinning. Thinning gives bet ter color to the fruit, aa it allows the sunlight to play all around. By Judi cious thinning, too, the vitality of the tree can be greatly saved. Thinning also reduces the number of seeds produced. As the season draws to a close, where the tree is producing a large amount of seed, the drain on the tree Is heavy. Judicious thinning will go a long way toward making the trees annual bearers. "From experiments I have conducted with the yellow apples and some varie ties of pears at the Oregon Experiment Station, and also In Southern Oregon, I hav found that where all the fruit is removed from certain spurs they are apt to produce the second season. With some varieties, in order to obtain suc cess, two specimens should be left on certain spurs and none on others. The typical spur produces fruit one year and wood growth the next.

Cherries, for example, are thinned by pruning. The same is true of .most of the small fruits. Reducing run ners of strawberries is a form of thin ning.
