The majority of horticultural writers seem to favor the summer pruning of apple trees. The practice, and the arguments made in its favor vary widely and in some instances seem almost contradictory. On the other hand some experimenters and practical workers have obtained negative results by summer pruning from the view-point of crop production and tree growth. Dickens(1) caused unproductive ten year old apple trees in Kansas to bear satisfactorily during the fourth year of summer pruning. The Gardners' Chronicle(2) compiled the opinions of more than one hundrend eighty-five fruit growers who practiced summer pruning, and about 82% of these …

Just a little more than 100 years ago the first beet sugar factories were built, but it was nearly fifty years after this time before the industry …
