"Dehorning" Apple Trees 



THIS winter we are cutting back four or five 

 old apple trees whose paying days are past. 

 This is not a new idea to us nor an experiment. 



We usually leave all the main limbs when 

 cutting back the old trees, only cutting off the 

 smaller ones up to one inch. The larger are left 

 about two feet long and usually painted to prevent 

 rot from setting in. The first photograph shows 



This tree was trimmed one season ago 



one 3'ear's growth after dehorning; it can be seen 

 that a tree is not slow to recover from this ex- 

 cessive trimming. 



We believe it pays and although we haven't more 

 than six or seven acres of orchard we are dehorn- 

 ing our old trees as fast as they prove worthless. 



It takes nerve to cut out a good thrifty tree this 

 way but try just one this year as an experiment.

Three years ago this apple tree was ••dehorned. 

 The gratifying results can be easily seen
