Newspaper cutting from The Sun News-Pictorial, July 23, 1929. Photo of 12 students pruning apple trees, with a close-up of secateur technique. The caption reads: "Daughters of Eve among the apple trees at Burnley School of Horticuture are still lending their support to the apple-a-day adage first advocated in the Garden of Eden. They are shown pruning the apple trees in the orchard, which is in the charge of Mr AW Jessep. Inset is the correct method of cutting to an external bud on the tree. There are 34 girl students being trained at the school for professional positions as agriculturists. Many former students have won good posts in Australian States. The agricultural course occupies two years and carries a special certificate."
