Show p On Utah County Farms With Extension Agents from what has been done other years. ! Heretofore demonstration methods meth-ods of pruning, at this time of the , year, have been given in various parts of the county, but in talking over with Prof. Coe, it was thought best that we spend the two days that he will be here pruning two or three demonstration orchards. The purpose of this work is to prune demonstration orchards, different ways, so that during the summer a fruit grower tour might be, conducted con-ducted to see the results of different differ-ent ways of pruning.
