21. A catch crop hi a young olive orchard of the Mission variety near Lindsay, Calif. (Photographed in August, 1920. ) which are to form the top of the tree only strong upright ones should be selected, and these should be spaced a few inches apart along the trunk of the tree and distributed at distances as nearly equal as pos- sible around it. When the tree as planted consists of a single stem it should be cut back to the point where one wishes the main branches to develop, which with most grow...ers is 20 to 24 inches above the ground. Branching in many orchards has been encouraged at but a few inches above the crown, but this is not considered wise, as culti- vation is made more difficult thereby. Before planting, the roots should also be shortened to a length permitting them to be placed in the hole without bending or twisting, and roots injured in digging should be removed at the point of injury. This will be about all the 32 Farmers' Bulletin pruning necessary if the four or five main limbs branch as desired during the next few seasons, but in places where the upright growth of these limbs is very vigorous and they branch but little, they should be cut back during each of the next two or three winters to the point desired for the next branching.
