ABOUT ORCHARDS.

Hen. John N. Dixon, of Mahaska
county, has the largest orchard il
Iowa, and now has 5000 bushels Of
hand-picked apples in his cellar
awaiting the spring market. He il
Vice President of the State Horticul
tural Society, and at the recent annual
meeting of that society, at Oskaloosa
read valuable paper1 touching
orchards and fruit growing, from
which we make the following extract
He recommends the planting Of
Orchards on ground rather Level
than very rolling, because the COM
paratively level ground is not so
much affected by drouth as the steep
hillside. Our best authorities agree
that winter killing of orchard trees is
much oftener caused by lack of mois.
ture about the roots, than by any ex-
cess of cold. The climate is as cold
in Canada and New England as in
Iowa, but trees are not so liable to be
killed in winter, and the difference is
that in those States the snow keeps
the soil moist over the roots of the
trees. To aid our trees in making
their struggle for life and health, we
must mulch heavily over the roots in
early winter, to prevent evaporation
and deep freezing, and we should al
low a plentiful crop of weeds to
grow In late summer. They will
hold what snow does fall, and protect
the roots. Trees should be pruned
into good shape in the nursery, and
very sparingly thereafter. Especially
should care be always taken to not
make any large wounds on tree.
Young orchard trees should be pro-
tected from below the ground to the
limbs by fold of common building
paper fastened about the trees loosely
enough to not interfere with growth
for few years. This is the best pro-
lection against sun scald, mice, apple
tree borers, rabbits and sheep that can
be applied, and the cost is only nom-
inal.
"Frult trees should be planted six
inches deeper than they stood in nur-
sery, and the burrows thrown toward
the trees in blowing till six inches
more are added, making a foot of
soil over the roots.
"The best remedy for cankcr worms
is arsenic water; one pound arsenic
to l5O gallons Of water; apply to
trees with force pump and hose
when worms arc half grown. 1t fin
ishes them at once. Orchards on
steep hill-sides or on very gravelly,
or sandy lands, should have special
treatment. They should be mulched
in autumn, plowed lightly in June,
and weeds allowed to grow later.
They should be MANFRED once in two
years, while in orchards on heavy,
rich soils, manurcs should be used
sparingly except in case of old or
chards."
