tally Washing the trunk with water
in which potash has been dissolved will
remove the moss, but it will come again
unless it's cause is removed. The land
should be drained for orchards as for

the soil is deepened, so that the subsoil
will hold more moisture in shape for the
roots to use. Stagnant water is of no
benefit, and is more often the cause of

Rich Ground for Tomatoes,

Too great proportion Of heterogeneous
plant food is not best for tomatoes. 1t
makes large growth of vine, but the
fruit does not set well. But if there is a
sut1iciency of potash, and phosphate the
soil can hardly be made too rich Stable
manure is usually deficient in potash, and
it is better to use Il commercial fertilizer
if it can be had. and then plant on ground
that has been made rich by previous ma
nuring. The ground should not be wet.
This will make it cold and delay ripen-
ing. Tomatoes endure drouth better
than most plants, and though severe
drouth diminishes the amount of the
crop, it makes it earlier, and therefore
worth as much money, though costing
less to handle and to market
