CACHE VALLEY APPLES How Can We Grow Larger Apples Desired by the Markets? , K By FRANCIS M. COE, Ihpt. of Horticulture, I'. S. A.C. (This is the third article of a series written for The Journal,; show iug how tlie Cache valley apple industry ran be made a real factor ' for increasing prosperity) . The size bf a given variety of fruit is governed by three 0actors: (1) Vigor of the tree; (2) moisture supply; and (3) number of fruits on the .tree. Experiments in Washington show that from 40 to 50 leaves are required to mature a good sized fruit and set a good crop of buds for the next years crop, where plenty of water is available. Scientists there have found a definite correlation between the size of the fruit and the number of leaves per fruit until the ratio reaches 1 to 40. In order to get larger sized clover or alfalfa will be neces fruit, then, the grower has Cultivation aerates the two lines of action he can in- sary. crease the number of and size soil and speeds up the bacterial of the leaves by increasing the. action in breaking down the vigor of the tree, and he .can organic matter in the soil; rereduce the number of fruit.s by leasing elements, fertilizing hand thinning the fruit. particularly nitrogen, for the Moisture is Increasing size by increasing use of the tree. vigor offers the best prospect' better conserved by cultivation since in orchards which are so that tree growth is corresmaking only a short growth pondingly stimulated. as are the majority of Cache Another way to Increase yalleys, increased; growth is growth which should be used indicated by an average grow- in connection with cultivation th of from 12 to 16 inches on and fertilization, is pruning. twigs.

In spite of good soil management and pruning, many var- -' ieties such as Winesap and Jonothan which are naturally small;' will overbear and not reach thp desirable size. In such cases, also where a very fancy fruit is wanted, as with Delicious hand thinning is both practical and profitable. This thinning should be done in the month of June after the June drop" when the poorly pollinated fruits will drop out naturally. Careful thinning should not cost over 5c per box and should, be more than paid for by the saving in wormy fruit better control from through brood removing - wormy first apples, and less sorting needed because of removing defective apples at thinning time. The one inceased value of from half to one cent per pound due to larger size would then be clear profit.
