Orchards in Grass.


The qnestiom of cultivated orchards YER
s,ls orchards in grass has again been agi-
tafed In various farmers clubs throughout
the country As is always the case when
this important subject arises, advocates
are found for both sides and any amount
Of evidence in the way of thriving trees
and overfowing fruit bins summed up pro
and con. The points on which the whole
matter pivots lies unquestionably in the
nature of the soil and the age of the or
chard.
By far the larger class of trustworthy
pomologist crop orchards up to the age OF
three, four and occasionally five years, with
potatoes or other roots, the manuring and
culture of which preserve the soil in good
condition and defray the expenses OF the
. orchard; or they keep the ground clean and
mellow with pillow and cultivator. But SO
soon as the tree is old enough to fill the
soil with its roots, it is contended that
blowing in nine cases out of ten interteres
with its progress and checks its usefulness
by the disturbing if not destroying of those
roots which form near the surface In
proportion as the earth is light and sandy,
rich and mellow, with a hard subsoll, or
stiff and tenacious soil throughout, will the
use of the pillow prove disastrous; for the
tendency of the roots having but a thin
stratum to grow in is to extend In a lateral
direction a great distance from the tree
and quite near the surface, forbiddlng In
the nature of things any but the most shall
low culture.
DIR. Hexamer, of New York, Thomas
Meehan, of Pennsylvania, Z. S. Gold, OF
Connecticut, with host of other we'll
known authorities in the agricultural world,
advocate, after the first few years, orchards
in grass as those yielding most satisfactory
results But orchards in grass do not I'M
ply orchards without care or without sup
plies of sufficient nutriment on which to
thrive. Far from it; fruit trees, like other
growths, require certain essential elements
which. when exhausted from the ground
or never being present in the proper guam
tity and proportion, must be applied in well
rotted barnyard manure, good compost, a
top dressing of ashes from wood or coal, or
a liberal shower of salt, according to Its
needs.
Many fruit-growers manure their or
chards in grass as heavily as if the ground
was under cultivation, and insist that they
get interest back on time and money ex-
pended in the quantity and quality of the
fruit produced Another class-and among
them not few successful pomologists-
follow the practice in vogue in England,
where permanent sods in orchards are the
rule and cultivation the exception, of keep
ing the grass close by grazing it with calves
and sheep, the best natural manure-spread-
ers in the world. When the ground be-
comes unduly packed down about the trees
a harrow is run lightly over the surface and
mulch applied, which further aeriates the
soil.-Neao York World.

Potash is fertilizing element whose res
toration to the soil is indispensable, as it is
carried off by crops in considerable proper
tions. The restitution becomes the more
imperative when plants of the legumiuous
family, such as clover, disappear, to be re-
placed by moss. Unwashed wood-ashes,
containing six to eight per cent. Of potash,
and three to four of phosphoric acid, often
produce marvellous effects; the moss dis
appears, and the clover and similar plants
take its place.
