the ends of the branches may follow, and it ought to follow, because 

 there is food supply in larger parts, at the convenience of the operator. 



Where the heads of navel orange trees have reached a diameter of 

 from fifteen to twenty feet, the space between the tree rows is too much 

 diminished for safe driving of broad orange wagons and for making a 

 sufficient number of irrigating furrows. As a consequence, the tree row 

 space is too wide to be well irrigated. The lack of water in that space 

 no doubt contributes to the decadence of the trees. 



The preparation of the interior of the tree for growth and fruiting 

 affords opportunity for correcting these two conditions by cutting back 

 the projecting limbs that have lost their power to produce leaves and 

 fruit. 



By thus transferring the fruiting area, to a considerable extent, to 

 the interior, we control Nature, as Lord Bacon has said, but it is in 

 obedience to her law. 



We might hollow out the head of the tree (leaving the top closed), 

 as some have done, with no results of value ; her law in the method 

 described is — "Let there be light." Then there will follow a re-creation 

 of growth.
