"Pruning of young and bear ing apple trees," says Niswon ger "is an essential practice of orchard management. It^» is desirable to prune young trees in order to secure a mechanically strong framework capable of supporting large crops of fruit with the least (breakage of bran ches. Pruning influences the size and age at which young trees bear fruit and the amount of pruning necessary in later years." "The pruning of bearing and mature trees," Niswonger con tinues, "permits better penetra tion of spray materials, admits sunlight and free circulation of air. It stimulates new growth, in fluences the quality and quanti ty of the fruit and facilitates 1 thinning and picking picking operations. Pruning is necessary in ordef to remove dead and di seased branches, thereby( safe guarding the health of the re maining portions of the tree." GIVE!
