Cherry growers in the Pacific Northwest 

 h.ive found that a good rule for strict ad- 

 herence, is to do all necessary pruning of 

 cherry trees, young or old from the middle 

 to the last of August, or, with bearing trees, 

 as soon as the fruit has been picked. At 

 that time it is easier to determine which 

 branches to remove for better access of sun- 

 shine and the formation of hardier fruit 

 spurs. When the crop is off, a tree has no 

 further need of any surplus limbs .ind the 

 sooner removed the better. As for trees 

 two to five years old, growers have dis- 

 coverd they can aid nature to ripen up 

 wood growth and reduce gummosis by prun- 



, ing judiciously during the latter part of 



i:;August. 



The twenty-fifth annual meeting of the 

 State Horticultural Society of Montana was 

 held at Stevensville, January 17-20, inclu- 

 sive. Despite temperatures "far below 

 zero," the sessions were well attended 

 There was keen interest in the diversified 

 program. The first day was devoted prin- 

 cipally to soil topics; the second, to small 

 fruits; the third, to potato growing, and the 

 final day to orcharding problems. 



Dr. J. E. Porter of Stevensville, was re- 

 elected president and State Horticulturist 

 W. L. Shovel 1 was elected secretary- 

 treasurer. 



The Folfax Fruit Growers' Association, 

 Placer County, Cal., has barred from mem- 

 bership any person not eligible for citizen- 

 ship. The action is directed against 

 Orientals. 



A new department has been added to enter- 

 prises of the Pehastin, (Wash.) Fruit Growers* 

 Association, as it will install a plant to manu- 

 facture lime-sulfur spray materials. The capacity 

 will be 2000 barrels a year.
