The story of an interesting discovery was told to a meeting, of fruitgrowers by Mr J. Prouse at Levin, states an exchange. A few years ago he noticed that a limb of one of his trees was more heavily laden than the others, and he found near the trunk of the tree a bandage round the limb. The bandage had held and to a certain extent checked the growth of the limb. He tried the idea on a. tree and the result was the same, the tree bore more fruit, the wire bandaging apparently checking undue growth of wood. Mr Prouse said that at present he had more trees wired up and expected good results. Of course, the wire needed watching, and should be loosened.
