. Annual report of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University and the Agricultural Experiment Station. New York State College of Agriculture; Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). Y \ \ Fig. 23. YOUNG apples in section (JULY 13), showing the effect OF CORE PUNC- TURES BY REDBUGS it is the injured apples that drop in the thinning process. If the season is favorable to very rapid growth following the blooming period, a larger proportion of injured fruits will recover and grow to maturity than in a year when growth is slow following the bloom. In a year when there is a light set of fruit and the period of growth is favorable to rapid development, the conditions are right to produce the largest proportion of scarred fruit at picking time, since by forced growth many weak and injured fruits are able to develop that otherwise would have dropped. Any condition that tends to force the growth of the tree will enable more of the injured and weak fruits to grow and recover. The writer soon learned to thin the fruit on limbs on which he was tagging apples that were being injured by an insect; if this were not done, it was found that about ninety-five per cent of the fruits tagged would drop and the experi- ment would be lost. 298.
