questionably figs should be thorough
ly cultivated during the first season.
This is necessary to give them good
start, and as the young trees make
their largest growth after midsummer
it is important to continue the Guilt
walton until late in the season. I'm
less the soil is quite rich some fertil-
izer should be used, as the future Of
the tree depends largely on it's vigor
during the first season. An excessive
use of stable manure or other nitro
the tendency of these is to induce
soft, succulent growth too easily in
jured by the winter. The ''piney
woods soils are deficient in phos-
phoric acid, and this should be a
prominent ingredient of all fertilizers
used in regions where these predomi-
nate
1t is not advisable to attempt to Gull
tivate any vegetable crop among fig
trees, on account of the danger of in
creasing root knot, and because such
crops are likely to interfere with cul-
tivation at the time when it may be
most needed.
The subsequent treatment for fig
orchard is, to certain extent, an
open question. 1t is probable that in
most locations the best results will be
obtained by mulching heavily near
the tree with any available material
that will hold moisture and keep
down the weeds. Pine straw, marsh
grass, or planer shavings answer the
purpose. The dust from old charcoal
pits is sometimes used, and on the
coast a mulch of oyster shells is often
seen. The slowly decomposing shells
probably act to some extent as a fer
tilizer, since the fig is known to thrive
best in strong lime soils. The middle
of the rows can be kept clean by
shallow blowing and narrowing with
out disturbing the mulch and without
injury to the roots protected by it.
Winter protection of some kind
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-08-04

should certainly be provided during
the first two or three years, at least
to the extent of mounding the dirt or
mulch high about the base of the tree
old gunny sacks or pine branches will
often prove of great advantage.
Pruning is seldom practiced, except
so far as may be necessary to properly
shape the young tree, and this is bet
ter done in summer by pinching. In
case of freeze, all injured wood
should be promptly cut away 1t is
said that the size of the fruit can be
greatly increased by judicious prun-
ing, but, as before stated, it is seldom
done.
Figs come into bearing very early.
A thrifty growing cutting will often
set some fruit the first season, put
this seldom natures. When the tree
does not winterkill, little fruit may
be expected the second season, and by
the third the crop should be of some

in the fall. Protecting the tops with
extremely difficult to keep plows and
cultivators from running so deep as
to do serious injury to fig trees, and
a fig orchard is therefore serious
question. Many growers advise
against blowing after the first year,
but the tree will not thrive if choked
with grass and weeds. To keep large
orchard clean with hoe is no small
undertaking. Some advocate heavy
mulching to keep down weeds, and
that is doubtless often advisable, but
the hard, clean-swept Southern door
yard seems to suit the root habit OF
the fig better than any system of cul-
tivation yet devised. Another point
to be considered is that the fig suffers
severely from root knot when planted
in the fields where vegetables or cow
peas have been grown, as the nema-
todes causing this trouble multiply in
the roots of all such crops.
In planting a fig orchard care
should be taken to select new land
that is known to be free from these
pests.
The fig has spreading habit and
when old requires considerable room.
AS the cuttings cost but little, it is
we'll to plant rather closely, with the
expectation of thinning out the trees
when necessary. With 200 trees to the
acre the earlier crops would be double
those obtained from a planting of half
that number, though doubtless 100
full grown trees would sufficiently oc-
cupy the land. Twelve by sixteen is
suitable distance for the trees when
young. Removing the alternate rows
needed would leave the permanent
planting sixteen by twenty-four feet.
1t is best to plant two or three cut
tings at each place, to be sure of
stand. All but the most vigorous can
be cut out if more than one starts to
grow.

Figs in the Gulf States.

Pomology, prepared by Frank S.
Experiment Station, we extract the
following:
Soil and Location.-T fig will
grow in almost any location, but it at
tains it's highest development on a
rich, moist, but well drained soil, that
contains abundant humus.
A plentiful supply of lime, phos-
phoric acid, and potash is also needed,
and if not contained in the soil must
be supplied by fertilization. The best
conditions for fig growth are found in
the bottoms and hammOcks rather
than in the sandy uplands, though
many fine specimens can be found i'll
either location. In planting for home
use it is advisable to plant the trees
near the house and about the farm
buildings, for they always thrive in
such locations, while many failures
have been made in attempting to es-
tablish them under orchard condi-
tons, especially in the light soil of
the ''piney woods region. 1t is not
easy to account for these failures,
since the old dooryard trees are SO
universally healthy and thrifty,
though growing without care or at
tention. Several causes can be cited
that contribute to the result, but all
seem insufficient to account fully for
the facts observed. There must be
some undetected factor that contrib
utes superiority of dooryard over Or
chard grown fig trees in the gulf
states.
One of the most obvious difficulties
in establishing fig orchard arises
from the fact that the young trees are
tender and easily injured by the cold.
Figs start very early in the season,
and the frequently occurring spring
frosts often catch them in quite Wig
orous growth. This does no great
harm to old trees; though the young
leaves are killed, they soon push out
again, and as the principal crop of
fruit is borne on the new wood the
crop is not much injured. With
young trees, however, it is different,
as the tissues of the trunk are softer.
Fine, thrifty trees of one or two
years growth are killed to the ground
oy slight freeze after their spring
growth has started. They may start
again from the root, but their vitality
is injured and they do not seem to
fully recover. Such trees at three or
four years old are often no larger
than after the first summers growth.
Young trees also suffer much more
severely than old ones from extreme
cold in winter, even when entirely
dormant. 1t would appear that the
shelter AFFORDED by buildings and yard
fences may sufficiently protect young
trees from damage, when in an open
space they may be severely injured.
Then, if from dozen cuttings stuck
down in such out of the way places
only two or three grew, they are seen
and remembered, while the failures
are forgotten, whereas an orchard
row showing a stand of only one
fourth is very unsatisfactory. The
