HE following paper on the above subje.u was read at the last an nual meeting of the Northwest Fruitgrowers Association at Vancou ver, B. C, by T. W. Stirling of Ke lowna: Any fruit grower, on being pointed out an apple tree, can say at once whether It 1, well shaped or badly shaped. The general characteristics of such trees as would be called well shaped by an experienced fruit grow er are found to be somewhat as fol lows: The uia.n branches spring from the trunk at a good broad angle. They do not spring opposite to each other but are distributed un and down the trunk. They are evenly pl-iced aroun'd the trees and do not interfere with each other. There is a definite center stem from whicn they spring and which extends bove the main slda branch "i. " Such a tec I" cf the strongest pos sible irumi. J; .will carry its proper lead of fruit without propping. There is no fear of It being split down to the ground and ruined by an over weight of fruit or by wet snow or any other cause. The greatest damage? tl.at will be likely to happen to It will be the breaking of a bough, an injury which can easily be repaired and the loss replaced within a short time. If any main branch Is over laden and breaks off, the injury lo the trunk will be comparatively slight there will be no splitting. Always ftesh shoots can be grown from the center to replace broken branche'3. After all, the main stem of the tree is the tree; keep that intact and the tree is still there to grow any branch es from that are required. To illustrate the advantages of this form it Is only necessary to think cf arother fcrm which Is very common. Tnat is the tree, where the center nas teen cut out and never replaced, where the branches all spring from about the same point as the fingers giow from the palm of the hand.

JW?J&JSSfe?QM comes, either from an fruit or from a fall of yes, and sometimes by reason of its own weight will get tired and 'ie down, splitting right to the ground so that there Is nothing left from which a new tree can he grown. Now, shaping a tree is not ths whole art of pruning, and by shaoing a tree is meant that treatment of tne tiee in its earlier years which de finitely determines its general form; a tree may be well shaped In this sense yet at the same time woefully In need of cutting and clearing out, but this latter branch of the pruno's art can not be dealt with adequafil;' in a paper and it is the first only which Is the subject of this present effort. The object of this paper then ia lo outline a method, and to state a few short rules, which if followed will in sure every tree growing up in a cor rect form. The rules are three In number, riz: (1) keep the leader; (2) have out one leader; (3) make the leader lead. The explanation of these and the method of carrying them out in prac tice is as follows: The tree is planted as a yearling whip and cut hack to about three feet, or a little less, from the ground with the object of forcing buds Into decided growth so that there may be something to work on the next spring Tho first real step towards shaping the tree Is taken the spring after planting, prefesably when tho buds are just beglnning""to show green. It will be found then, If the tree has es tablished itself, that some of the buds near the top, very generally three. have made a strong upstanding growth coming out from the stem at a very acute angle, lower down, more shoots will have grown from the stem at a greater angle than the leaders, and usually have not made such a strong growth. It is from these latter that the first tier of branches may be chosen. Leaders. Of the one, two, or three stiong, upright shoots near the top, select the best and most upright as the leader and sacrifice the remain der. If they are retained with the luea that they will become ratisfac tory side branches, amenable to dis cipline, it will be found to be a mis take. They will not do so but will for years be a source of bother, com peting continually with the leader foi supremacy. Cut them out leaving but the one leader. Side Shoots. From the other shoots lower down select, if possible, three side branches. These must be evenly distributed around the tree in a horizontal direction. In a perpend icular direction they must he well separated; the angle they make with the trunk should be large, nearly a right angle. If there are not three shoots that satisfy these conditions then leave only two or one that does; better one right than three wrong; plenty more shoots will grow during the current year to fill any vacancies. (N. B. Certain varieties of trees, for instance the Northern Spy, have shoots which almost Invariably spring from the stem at an acute angle. In such cases It can not be expected that shoot will be found to satisfy the third condition mentioned above. It is as well then to use a spreader to cause the shoot to grow in the desired direction.). Cutting Back. Having selected the shoots which are to remain, p.nd removed the others cutting them off close up to the stem it is necess ary to cut them back. It will be ob served that the buds on the upper end of a wood shoot are better developed than those near to the base. The ob ject in view is to give the leader the start and to have It keep ahead of tho rest; therefore do not cut it back too much. Cut it amongst these buds to wards the upper end perhaps one third of its length down from tho tip. In regard to the side branches. Per haps amongst these retained one or two are weak, and one or two are strong; these latter, perhaps, nearly as strong as the leader. It Is they which require to be watched or they will start racing for supremacy with tho leader. Put them In their right place right away. Cut them back to within three buds or so of the stem. The buds hero will be very much backward and by the time they have been forced into growth the leader will have shoots several inches in length and there Is no fear that the sido branches will catch up. Next Year. The following spring tho process will be much the sane. The leader will bo treated practically as was the whole tree the year before. Tho lower tier of branches of last year will probably have made two or more shoots. Almost Invariably one will bo enough to leave, and that should be cut back among the well- ;gested,'.( toSel cossarm developed buds towards tho extreme . nr nhout one-third In from fVi-fi 'l The next year will bo tlmo enough for theso sido branches to have side shoots. Third Spring. The next year will be a repetition of the first and second except that there will bo an addition al tier of branches to prune. The treatment of this lower tier, this year will be somewhat similar in principle to that of the leader the first year. The cutting of the preceding year will probably have resulted in two or three strong shoots growing from the end and one or two weaker shoots growing further in on it. Ot the strong shoots at the end but one should be loft, and that cut back as before about one-third; of the others one or two may be left as there is room or not. After this, If all has gone right, as it will have done with a normal well-1 growing tree handled as suggested; the tree may be considered formed and it is usually unnecessar tc continue cutting back the leading 3hoots. The leader will be firmly es tablished and the tree will tend to keep the form in which it has been trained. Subsequent shaping will simply consist of thinning out super flous shoots and branches, keeping a ust balance between all side bought. The idea to keep in view Is to give he leader the preference when cut ting out; that Is, if a shoot from the center Is crowding a shoot from a side bough it is the latter that must give way. Should tho shaping have been ne glected In the earlier years, or should an Injury have happened to the lead ing shoot, it is often found that one it the side branches has come ahead jf the loader and is competing with t.he leader for supremacy. There are hree things that may be done, and ane of them must be done, if a well jhaped tree is to result, viz; (1) the 3ide branch may be cut off; (2) the tree may be cut off immediately above the side branch and thus the latter becomes the leader. (Where the side branch has grown pratically as lar; as the rest of the tree above it, of theso two things must be dcrae) (3) check the side branch back han by cutting it off Immediately abov one of Its own side shoots; the strong er its tie the lower down must it bq cut. This latter will be best where sucli cutt.ng is likely to be efficacious irl putt.ng the sido branch in its plixo It will, however, in any case, haVe td bo watched the next season. Always the side branches must b headed in this way if they show signj of coming ahead of. tho leader unti they are finally Induced to take & subordinate position. It will likely now be found tha there are too many branches and tha they are crowding each other, no ma ter, it gives a choice and if any hav tc be sacrificed their existence wll not have been wasted, they will havi assisted to thicken and strengthe: -he main stem. It is not claimed that there is(an; thing new in this paper; it is sim' an attempt to state in clear and co else language a definite system whlcl ac any rate has the merit of produc Ing surely, and without waste of time energy plant growth-the results aim ed at. The attempt seems to bo jut tlfied because this part of the orchar Ist's art has not often been state either clearly, concisely or complete ly and it Is very necessary to hav clear and definite ideas on tho sub ject. With a clear mental picture of whi Is needed in regards to shaping a tie tho pruning of young trees is a rapi and sure operation. The tree is pru ed and shaped mentally as the opei ator walks toward it. A few deft cut with a sharp pair of shears and it i done. Lacking this clear Idea there is it decision and doubt, the Indecision c the first year produces the puzzle tho second year which in the thirl year becomes an Insoluble problem rather one only to be solved by sacrl flclng half or more of the tree anj MiOlTllMf lTOC.Hir tVirt iTnnfn rwrt k.-f. wmj , uob.Ub WHO blGUld lilY the energy of growth that the trj has put forth in the past.
