Some people through careless ob
servation believe that the fork of a
forest tree will gradually grow higher
from the ground. I f they would I d
vestlgate It would be found that the
forks and “ heads" o f fruit trees are at
exactly the same point where they
were when first noted.
The state forester In inspecting lo
cust and catalpa groves throughout
the state has found owners who have
uot removed one part of the fork of
those trees that have formed forks
below the feucepost length, believing
that In years the fork would grow up
and a feneepost could be cut below
the fork. This erroneous belief is the
cause of so much of the delay and neg
lect of pruning in early life o f street
and roadside trees.
It should be remembered that the
base o f a fork or a branch o f a tree
will always remain at the same dis
tance above the ground.

the removal o f large branches neces
