unslg11tly with scaly bark , moss and
lichens ? They are scraped clean and
smooth with a dull hoe or scraper , and
the entire surfaee wnshed or sprayed
with Dordeaux mixture. Has the fruit
heretofore been defective from the In-
festatlol , ! of Inseets or fungi ? Repeat.
ed spraylngs with Dordeaux mixture
and arsenltes , applied In so thorough
a manner that not a leat , twig , branch
or fruit , crevice or square Ineh of surface -
face In any lIart Is left untouched or
uneovored , will bring smooth , sound
fruit. Has the soil become ImpoverIshed -
Ished through abuse or long continued
crop production without feeding ?
There Is apIlIed a liberal dressing of
stable manure whIch Is either worleed
Into the upper few Inehes of soil beneath -
neath the extremities of the branches.
or covered with a few Inehes of straw ,
corn.stalks or other coarse material
applied as a mulch. Do the cellar bins
need repaIring , and Is there an ample
supply ot erates. . and baskets ? It
would bo well to prepare for the da '
at harvest ; fol' there will be a bountl.
ful reward when the frult.plclting season -
son comes.
To bring about , In the old orchard ,
the conditions necessary to attain the
objeet In view , It Is of first Importance
that the heIght of the trees be reduced
very materially. Indeed , upon thIs severe -
vere cutUng back or "heading down"
rested the whole plan of renewal. For ,
as a' natural result , would follow the
produetlon of a vigorous system of
now wood at' a reduced altitude ; the
reInvigoration or rejuvenation of the

reference to renewal of old apple trees ,
but the Bnmo may bo applled with
equal , or even creatcl' forcc , to old
11each trees. The peach tree Is a rapid
srower under ordInarily favorable
conditions. It bears fruit only on
wood of the previous senson's growth.
Its charactorlstlc hublt or growth Is to
form tall , erect branchell , In Its early
years , becoming more spreading as Its
.age Increases ; hence a few season's
unrestricted , natural development ,
where care and pruning hns been neg-
leeted , results In a . tall , ungaInly , 11Iy
proportioned top , for'm.,1 by long ,
straggling , slender branches at the ox.
tremltles ot which , out of reach from
the tallest step-ladders , the fruit In
borne. 'fho weight ot the fruit , at the
-
extremlUc.-i -thOf.e highly or widely
extendC1 branches , brings so grea.t a.
leverage to bear upon their bases as to
result In serious splitting , brealtlng
and mutilation of the trees. Careful ,
annual pruning IJaclt of the new
growth , from the time the young trees
are planted , tends to overcome this
undesirable hl1IJlt of growtll and to
lwop the head of the trca compact and
symmetrical , thereby lessening the
danger of breaking by l'educlng the
leverage exerfed IJy the weight ot the
crop , and rendering the gathering at
the fruit an easy and pleasant taslt.
Dut even with careful , annual pruning ,
the peach tree will eventually get out
of proportion and out of reasonable
bounds. It Is at this tlmo that a , complete -
plete renewal becomes advisable. This
can bo accomplished without the loss
of a erop , providing the work be done
carly In the spring of a season In
which the fruit buds have been de.
stroyed by the rlgor us winter , as Is
often the case In all sections or Ohio
other than those bordering on Lake
Eric. 'Vhere annual erops arc the
rule , the tortunate orchardist may cut
baek a few of the branches of each
trce each season , thereby Itceplng an
adequate supply of new fruiting wood
coming on , low down where pruning
and spraying may be easily done , and
where the crop 111ay be safely supported -
ported by the superior strength of the
short , sturdy. well-knIt branches. Thus ,
gradually , the trees will become renewed -
newed , there w11l be no material loss
In fruit production , and the fruIt will
