V m m THINNING IMPROVES QUALITY OF PEACHES When the set of fruit la heavy and excessive a proper thinning directly after the “June drop” Is an important factor In good orchard practice, and directly affect« the grade nnd quantity of fruit shipped. The grower’s aim, however, Is for the tree to produce the largest possible amount of fruit that can attain the highest commercial standard. The development of a great number o f seeds Is a tree-exhausting process. This Is opposed to the development of large fruits. To meet this end, the grower must thin the fruit, says A. E. Schllletter, extension horticulturist at Clemson college. Perhaps no operation In the produe- | tlon of peaches requires keener Judg I ment than thinning the fruit. A com mon practice very generally appli % cable. Is to thin so that the fruits will I0E not be nearer together than three to i four Inches after thinning.
