Condensed pruning rules for young trees
A set of general pruning guidelines for young trees. It covers timing for pruning fall-set and spring-set trees, removal of weak or damaged limbs, balancing the head, shaping remaining shoots to three or four buds, and specific instructions for cherry and peach trees including leaving a stick and back-cutting to 18 to 24 inches.
Best Location For Orchard Training Styles
The text explains orchard tree training depends on climate. In damp areas moss grows on tree sides so open heads are advised to allow sunlight into the tops. In hot dry places with intense sun, a closed head protects fruit from sunburn.
Sorting Vegetables in Storage to Reduce Rot
Warming the storage bin for sweet potatoes helps control rot by sorting vegetables and removing decayed items. If sweet potatoes are rotting, culling is not advised as handling can bruise skins and invite black rot germs.
Care for Farm Implements in Winter Repair Window
Farmers should repair and tune up farm implements during winter and early spring as regularly as vehicles require upkeep. Small fixes now prevent costly breakdowns during planting and harvest seasons.

The article analyzes how 75 percent of 1920 and 74.8 percent of 1921 business failures stemmed from the personal element in management. It cites a USDA study of 243 co operatives noting lack of interest loyalty confidence and poor accounting and audits as key failures. It argues extension agents share responsibility for advising on appropriate managers and urges agricultural colleges to offer full programs to train cooperative managers.
