Fruit Trees Should he Msnursd - We'll
- Other Crops.
Few owners of orchards ever think q
the necessity for manuring fruit trees.
1t is not supposed that fruit tree needs
any manure. This Is great mistake.
The quantity Of seed alone produced in
an average crop Of fruit Is sufficient to
exhaust the natural increments Of fer
tility which the roots can extract from
the soil. Then the leaves and tho
growth Of wood withdraw large guam
tity Of limo and potash from the soil.
which must be restored or the tree fails.
Few persons realize that the nourish-
ment Of tree is derived from the sur
face soil in great part, and that the deep
roots serve more to support the tree in
its position than to sustain its growth.
No doubt some mineral matter Is taken
up BY the deep roots, but as these roots
may all be severed completely from tho
tree and the tree still flourish as well -
ever, so long as the surface roots arc
safe, il Is clear that these upper roots
are really the main support Of the tree,
and supply the greater part of its de-
mands upon the soil. These are tho
feeders OF tie tree which require food.
and liberality in respect Of the supply
Of the proper food is well repaid Top
dressing the orchard should mot b
neglected now before il is too late Tho
feeding surface Of . tree is very largo,
the roots spread far and wide unless tho
supply is sufficient near by. The ma
nure should be spread at least as far as
