These may be achieved by lookmg after soil conditions, mainly with reference to air and water-sup- plv; bv providing a satisfactory amount of light, and, above ali bv timelv and judicious surgery- pruning, by which the consumption of supplies from the root can be regulated sometimes more easily than the supply in the soil itself. These two means, then, regulation of foUage develo,.morit bv pruning and soil improvement, are compensating and usuallv go hand in hand. Timely attention to these requirements will prevent many of the troubles to which trec^ are liable, and, when trouble has come, half the battle is won if these conditions of favorable nutrition are estab- lished and the tree has been kept in vigor to fight off the disease. We shall devote this chapter, therefore, entirely to the discussion of proper care in soil conditions and in pruning, 76.
