Frost Crack on Cherry Tree 
among the trees of the home orchard to 
conserve the ground, and where crops 
such as potatoes are planted the soil is 
worked late in the season, and the tree 
keeps growing, instead of ripening its 
wood normally. Then with the first hard 
freeze the tender tips of the twigs are 
injured, and with a severe Winter whole 
limbs may be injured. A crop such as 
early cabbage may be used successfully, 
provided the ground is not worked late, 
but too often we attempt to get more 
crops from the ground than Dame Nature 
cares to give. Sometimes a hay crop is 
removed from the orchard, and the trees 
make poor growth, due to a lack of both 
food and moisture. This practice also 
tends to make certain varieties corky, 
little dry chunks appearing beneath the 
skin. This result seems to come on Bald¬ 
wins more than any other variety, hence 
it is called Baldwin Spot or Stippiu. It 
is caused by lack of moisture in the roots 
and tree, the cells dying, forming those 
corky areas. The Baldwiu I am eating 
at present is thus affected, I presume, 
because of the dry season around Rose 
Hill, N. Y., where it was grown. 
Pruning Defects. —In some of the 
nearby home orchards the trees are suf¬ 
fering from lack of pruning, ami in others 
there is a like suffering from pruning 
(page 377). In the unpruued trees the 
diseases and insects find harbor, while 
the pruned trees that suffer are those 
wuore stubs were left when the limbs 
were removed. Mother Nature won’t 
heal wounds unless we are willing to 
help, and when we use the saw, if we 
think only of cutting the liinb at the 
smallest diameter, we lose the help of our 
Limb Destroyed by Frost Crack 
chief ally in putting a healing covering 
of hark over the wound. In time these 
stubs rot away, the disease spreading into 
the trunk, and in a few years half the 
tree splits away, due to the weakening 
and rot. 
Laiior and Expense. —Replanting in 
the home orchard has not been carried
