EXAMINE YOUR TREES —
FOR COLLAR ROT

By H. R: ‘McLARTY — :

. Owing. to. the. “general prevalence, of. this trouble: in: orch-
ards i in the Okanagan Valley, it is essential i in all. ‘good orchard.” my

practice that an examination of the crowns of ‘the trees be
“made every year... ‘The-period. between the:time that the frost .
is. out of the ground: and the buds burst is. the one most. suitable 7
for this work:for several reasons. The soil after the winter’
frost is soft and more easily removed; the cover crop has not .
made sufficient growth to interfere with the work; bridge. le
grafting where it is found necessary can now best be done; the -
treating of wounds, just before the spring growth takes place,
affords a~ better. opportunity. for the healing. process, and the | _—
warm. sunny days of. the. summer that follow, are most beneficial iar
to the exposed crowns.

The procedure to be followed in this work can be outlined
