THE OLDEST BANK IN HOOD RIVER VALLEY 



July 



transpiration, which occurs in the por- 

 tion of the tree above ground quickly 

 drains the tree of available moisture 

 and food. Most trees suffering from 

 die-hack make a slight growth in the 

 spring. This feeble start consumes all 

 of the stored-up food and moisture, and 

 as there are no more root feeders to 

 supply more food and moisture growth 

 stops. The result is that the tree dies 

 back until it can reorganize its feeding 

 system. 



There are a good many orchards in 

 the valley which are just on the edge 

 of a die-back condition. A close ob- 

 server can detect this condition by a 

 few simple warnings given out by the 

 trees before a serious condition has 

 been reached. The writer has observed 

 three which have proven good indi- 

 cators and which are worthy of con- 

 sideration. (1) Trees which have 

 burned badly in the delayed dormant 

 spray. (2) Dying and dropping of the 

 fruit buds (before the pink stage is 

 reached) on trees that appear fairly 

 vigorous. (3) Premature yellowing and 

 dropping of foliage in early fall. All 

 of these indicators could be due to 

 some other disorder than drought, but 

 as a general rule drought condition 

 could be suspected. 



We are now more than ten inches 

 behind in normal rainfall and for this 

 reason irrigation should be started at 

 once, especially in the orchards that 

 are in cover crops.
