Root Crops in Apple Orchards.

Eight years ago | purchased Of re-
liable + firm five bundled apple trees,
three years old, planted them on sod
ground, taking great pains in setting
them, in "soil loan" laGd and quite
stony. The following spring, after
planting. i tarped over the sod all but
on acre, to make the experiment. l
think the acre not turned was equal. if
not better. than the rest ofthe orchard
The first year on the inverted sod, l
planted potatoes with clean culture, no
manure. The second year I planted
corn, with light coat of manure, say
ten loads to the acre, fresh manure
spfesd onathe forrows. At the-same
time gave the acre ten loads Of manure
as much around the trees, also leaving
the grass to decay on the ground, not
moving it. Third year, planted pota-
toes on the cultivated part; fourth
corn fifth. potatoes sixth, corn ;i
seventh, potatoes; eighth, oats with
a seeding to clover On the acre Of sod
ground. gave the trees mulching
every year, kept those pruned alike lik
which were Of the same varieties as on
cultivated part Iof lot. Now. for re-H
suits. on those T had cultivated I had
fine specimens Of apples the third year
after setting. with q fine vigorous
gsowth of~eod. ! On the,acrelnot titled,
no fruit, and not much growth. Seventh
year after planting on cultivated portion
Of lot. FHad q fine crop ofapples. every
tree making vigorous growth Of wood,
and it is now one Of the finest young
orchards ! in Saratoga, county. The
trees on the acre not cultivated are only
about one-fourth as large the others,
look scrubby. with very little, frnit ffranfit on
them seven years after setting, and
what apples were on them were inferior
to. the othess. During the eight years
I suffered no stock to. run in the lot,
neither did I NOW the grass on the
acre, but let il. fall and decay on the.
ground every year. Perhaps some viii
say those trees where I cultivated will
overbear themselves and decay, but
have no fears Of that, as I have watched
the progress Of trees treated in the same
manner for over thirty years In my
opinion, every man planting out an
orchard should first take the greatest
pains in planting. and after that. keep
the cleanest culture with hoed crops,
root crops being the best for the trees.
If not trestsd in this manner. I think
those who set an orchard will not make
it a success For the lastii thirty years
I watched the progressaof apple trees,
from the White Mountains Of New
Hampshire to the western borders Of
Iowa. and I see SO much tardinesssin
the cultivation Of fruit trees. that
world ike to preach sermon to severn
eighths Of the farmers as long as the
distance have mentioned. But per-
haps It would avail nothing, as many
farmers advocate that trees must not be
disturbed at the root or branches after
