How TO FERTILIZER FRUIT TREES.
Here and there on all farms, and III
most fruit gardens, will be seen an oc-
casional troe Or grapevine, which seems
to lack ygor-does not grow well, aid
yet seems to have nopartioular disease.
The probabilities are that the tree is
dying of star rvatlon and needs Il liberal
supply of food. When you give it this
ration, do not pile load OF manure
around the trunk OF the tree or the body
OF grapevine. That is just the place
where it will do the least good. Near
est the trunk OF the tree the roots are
all large. The hbrous roots, the feed,
ers, ase farther off near the ends of the
roots. These can only take up the nu.
trlment. 1t ID always safe to assume
that the roots extend as far from the
trunk in every direction as do the limbs
OF the tree, and to properly fertiIlze,
spread the manure all over that area.
Then fork 1t IN, and you have done q
good work and done 1t well. II some
