In 1914 a lot ot cherry trees were cut down, especially in the Fonthill district and now the growers wish they had them grow- ing. Make up your mind what you want to grow and stay with it. Sour cherries will stand more adverse conditions in regard to soil and climate than sweet cherries will, and will thrive on heavier soils. Sweet cherries are only profitable in some portions of the Niagara Dis- arict. They must have good air drainage, owing to the danger of rot. For such an orchard windbreaks are not desirable. The time of bloom- ing is earlier near the mountain than at the lake and blooming should be delayed as long as possible. Sweet cherries need a good peach soil, white sour cherries will do well on other soils. Sweet cherries should be planted as early in the spring as ipossible, even before the land is in good condition to work. Fall plant- ing is all right it the wood is Well ripened. The average cherry or- chard is planted too closely. For sweet cherries 25 feet and for sour 20 feet should be the minimum dis- tance apart. Sweet cherries need goor feeding, 10 tons ot manure per acre. annually together with a liberal aplication of acid phosphate are re- commended. A cherry tree ripens its wood early and therefore. cultiva- tion can he kept up till late in the the summer. Sweet cherries will stand moderate pruning, although at one time it was the practice not to prune them. At planting time cut oft the branches you do not need but don't shorten in. In pruning cut back tp a side branch. Varieties tor Niagara District: Bweets-Tartar- ian, Napoledn Bigarre.w, Yellow Span- ish, Elkhorn, Windsor. The latter will stand many soils and condi- tions. sours---Early Richmond, Mont morency, and English Moreno. Bing and Deacon, new sweet cherries from British Columbia are worthy of a trial there. The Plum Curculio feeds on one side of the cherry and causes that side to shrink in, which makes the fruit so susceptible to brown rot, Treatment after blossom has gone off, spray with arsenate of lead, 3 lbs. of paste to 40 gals., and five a second spray 10 days later. Fruit 1i'lies----Thev cause a little white head second spray 10 days later. Fruit Flies-They cause a little white, head less maggot which cuts the -truit from the inside. The remedy is ar- senate ot lead 3 lbs to 40 gals., apply when Early Richmonds are showing red. It very bad give a second ap- plication a few days later to Mont- morencies. Pear and Cherry Slug--- This attacks the leaves, a slimy slug half an inch long. About the 10th of June spray with arsenate of lead , ‘lbs. paste 'to 40 gals. In the last 2 years about 20,000 cherry trees have lost their crop by reason of Fruit Ply. Diseases of Cherries: 1, Black Knot; 2, Leaf Spot or Shot-hole Fun- Rus: 3, Brown Rot. . l Knot; 2, Leaf Spot or Shot-hole Fun- gus; 3, Brown Rot. , Where lime and sulphur is is constant use blaok 'knot is controlled but any black knots seen should be at once cut out and burned. Leaf Spot is very bad in some localities, It causes (brown spots on the leaves. which turn yellow and frop off. this is one of the chief causes of cherry trees dying in the winter. The remedy or sour cherries is to apply bordeaux mixture just after the fruit sets and again 10 days later Limo-sulphur will also do the work. Brown Rot is caused by excess moisture together, with heat. Good air drainage and sunlight let into the trees are the safeguards.
