POTASH IN THE ORCHARD.

All fruit growers know that potash in
large amounts is necessary for bearing
fruit trees. But they are very likely
to delay its application until late in
spring or sometimes until midsummer,
when the young fruit is fast falling
from the trees for lack of the material
to form its seeds. Then it is too late
for the potash to do any good that sea-
son, or there is seldom rain enough
after midsummer to dissolve the potash
and carry 1t within reach of the tree
roots. The proper time to apply any
kind Of fertilizer to an orchard is in the
winter. Then the melting snow and
spring rains carry soluble portions into
the soil. There is in every direction
from vigorous tree such a network of
roots that there is no possibility of the
fertilizer being washed away through
the soil within being at some point
taken up and brought into the tree. 1t
is best not to use much stable manure
Oh orchards. 1t promotes large wood
growth, but it is also likely to breed
fungous disea asses, which grow most
vigorously in the excess of sap in trees
that have too much heterogeneous and
