We would like to hear from our read
ers as to the best distance apart for
the planting OF apple trees. While this

of times. and each time 1t has taken

Element was not conclusive. A dozen
years ago it was believed by some Of
our progressive orchardists that the
only way to do was to plant the trees
about twice as thick as they should ul-
timately stand and then cut out the
alternate rows few years after the
trees had come into bearing. The trees
we're planted about a rod apart and in
Bome cases closer together. They grew
and began TO bear fruit. They deyei-

fact that the time had come to do the

his Intelligence told him It should be
done. The result was ultimately an
orchard gone more to wood than 70

urging the dropping Of the system, for
It has become to be a generally ac-
cepted truth that If trees are planted
too closely in the first place they are
likely to stand that way.
