feet in length, and are increased in
growth by manure placed at that
distance 1t is therefore of little
comparative Importance whether
the narrow spot at the base of the
tree receives manure or not. There
could be. therefore, but little object
ion to the side branches extending
nearly to the ground.
There are several reasons for such
low headed trees. The annual
pruning or cutting back is more
easily performed, much of it being
done while the operator stands on
the ground. The thinning, which
all heavy bearing trees should re-
ceive, is more easily done. The
fruit may be more easily gathered.
There will be but little ground that
may not be subjected to horse cul-
tivation, for the shade of the foliage
above will prevent much growth Of
weeds closely around the stem, and
light and broad harrow will stir
nearly all the soil by passing under.
Planters who wish to adopt the
low-headed, compact training,
should not purchase trees more than
a year old, or which have heads al
ready formed several feet high; but
procure one-year trees from the bud,
or else those which have already
been trained within few inches of
the ground.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1894-06-09
Improved Peach Orchards.

Every Spring large number of
peach orchards are planted in diff
ferent parts of the country, and
nearly all are arranged in the old
way of setting them in squares or
in rows both ways for horse culture,
and training them up to a head five
feet high on a bare stem at that
height. The Country Gentleman
says: AS many farmers and orch
ardists are now carrying out their
plans for Spring planting, few
practical suggestions may be of use.
The tendency of all peach tree
growth is in running up and out
horizontally into bare poles and
arms, which gradually reduce the
value of the trees and lessen the
excellence of the fruit. The dura-
ton of the trees is lessened, and
they perish much sooner than un-
der a better treatment. First of all,
the superiority of broadcast cult
walton should be appreciated, as
compared with only narrow strips
or circles of cultivated ground. The
