Pruninq The Fruit.
It is n good time now to study
tho fruit trees from the standpoint
of their need in the way of prun
ing. He who makes the best study
of such matters and prunes accord
ingly to the needs of the individual
tree and not by rigid rule will make
the greatest success.
A bulletin
from tho Departement of Agricul
ture says:
Every kind of tree or plant, in
fact, every individual, presents its
own peculiar problems to
the
primer To do the work most jud
iciously the operator must under
stand the principles involved, then
apply them to each case.
Skill in
pruning can come only with i
perienco and prnctico.
Perhaps the most
important
thing is to observe the manner in
which the fruit is borne.
For in
stance, an apple or pear tree bears
its fruit mostly on “ fruit sj urs” and
so would not be pruned in the
same way as a,,peach tree, which
bears itn fruit only on last season’s
growth.
A quince tree, which
growth made the present season,
would naturnlly be pruned differ
ently from either an npple or peach
tree, produces its fruit on the tipsof
the tree ¡likewise the correct pruning
of grapes is based on the fact that
the shoots of the present season
produce this year’s crop.
The
same principle in pruning holds
true throughout the whole list of
fruits— that is, the manner in which
the fruit is borne should govern the
manner of pruning.
In a general way, it may be said
in regard to tree fruits that all dead
branches should be removed and
the top of the trees be kept suffic
iently open to admit an abundance
of sunlight for the coloring of the
fruit.
Reasonably open tops are
also of great advnutage in spraying
the trees aud in harvesting the
fruit.
The natural habit of the
tree Bhould suggest the form to be
adopted by the pruner.
In other
words, a tree, tho branches of which
natuiallv droop cannot well be
pruned to an upright form, and a
tree with a strong tendency toward
forming an upright bead cannot
readily be made to assume a decid
edly spreading form.
Of course
these natural tendencies can be in
fluenced in a measure by the man
ner of pruning, but they cannot be
entirely overcome. The tops should
bo kept symmetrical and as well
balanced as possiblo. The pruning
of the various kinds of small fruits
is based on the same general princi
ples as the pruning of fruit trees—
that is the manner in which the
fruit is borne aud the character of
the growth should govern the meth
od of pruning.’— Northwest Pacific
Farmer.

of the newly elected councilmen,
bad failed to qualify within the time

ed) with J. J. Lamb and C. M.
Skeels ns sureties, was read and ap

ious committees until the next

in the near future.
The council adjourned at 11 p. m.
General Summary.
From “ Weekly Crop Bulletin" o f
the Department of Agriculture:
The rains during the fore part'of
the week were timely and very
beneficial, but in the Willamette
valley and a few other localities
more rain is needed for late crops
and meadows.
Fall wheat and barley are bead
ing nicely, and the frosted wheat in
Umatilla courty is improving and
will probably turn out better than
expected. In Wasco county-there
are numerous complaints of weedy
fields, but the fall grain crop as a
whole is very promising.
Spring
whont, barley nnd oats are doing
well. The alfalfa harvest is pro
gressing and rve is being cut for
hay, the yields in both cases being
above the average.
Ranges and stock are in excellent
condition, and the flow of milk in
the dairy districts continues good.
Orchard grass, vetch and clover
will be ready to cut in about ten
days.
Hops, corn, potatoes and
gardens have made good progress
during the week. The hop yards
apparently are free from vermin and
the vines look promising.
Strawberries are plentiful and
their quality is extra good.
Cher
ries are plentiful and their quality
is extra good. Cherries are ripen
ing, and while they have suffered
considerable damage from frost and
cold rains, the yield will be larger
than expected earlier in the season.
Italian prunes will be the lightest
in years.
Peaches promise fairly
good returns, and apples are extra
gook. In the coast counties and
some portions of the Willamett
valley caterpillars are more numer
ous than usual.
