l would set them in straight rows,
and at proper distances apart. I
would mulch the ground around the
trees and plant corn, beans or other
hoed crops between. l would hoe and
cultivate thoroughly, keeping the
ground mellow and the weeds under.
| would watch and work from day to
day; if bud or twig appeared where

pinch or cut it off. Ii a worm or in

trees, woulG kill the worm and crush
the insect. # az: inruly steer got in,

cut away the broken or wounded part,
painting it over with liquid shellac to
exclude the air, giving the tree a
chance to start again. l would kee<
