THE SOIL FOR. THE APPLE.
An Important Phase In Considering
the Making OF an Orchard.

An Important Phase In Considering
the Making OF an Orchard.
That the soil is very important
point in the making of an orchard all
authorities practically agree. From the
old orchard, and especially the old
trees of both Europe and America, the
east and the west, the same lessons
are learned. With one accord these
trees, though separated by leagues of
land and water, proclaim the creed of
the apple tree-complete air and water
drainage and a deep loamy soil.
Speaking upon this topic about 200
years ago, Miller, an English author
ity, said: "a gentle hazel loan, which
is easy to work and does not retain
the wet, is best Although these trees
will grow on very strong land they
are seldom so thriving nor is the fruit
on gentle soil. Dry or gravelly soils
are wholly unfit for the apple tree
Delaville, writing upon the subject
of soils suitable to fruit culture in
France, says, "a good soil for all fruit
trees is composed of equal parts Of
sand, clay and lime"
Ballet, popular French horticul-
turai writer, in discussing the subject
of soils desirable for the apple, re-
marks that s'a wheat soil is the soil
for the apple tree when grown as a
standard"
The Importance of thorough drain
age in connection with a good soil is
emphasized by the same author in
81 Ia
is largest in the humid valleys, but
best favored on the hills and dry table
lands, the excess of humidity, as tha
need Of free air, inducing canker and
favOring the aphis.'
Nanot in his treatise upon the cider
apple thus speaks Of the soil as bear
ing upon this fruit: '"The apple is not
very particular as to the nature of the
soil. It neither dislikes very clayey.
very limy nor very sandy soils, but
the best favored and longest keeping
fruits come from trees grown on clay
Ioam."
DR.. L. 81. Bailey, speaking of apple
growing in the eastern United States,
says: CAS- a rule, rather light or loamy
soils with deep and porous subsoils
are best adapted to apple growing.
Natural drainage is imperative. APP
pie trees are impatient of wet feet"
At meeting of the Oregon State
Horticultural society, held in New
berg in 1901, E. L. Smith made the
following statement while speaking
briefly Of the apple: "Apples grown on
sandy soil will weigh much less pei
bushel than those grown on clay OF
clayish soils. other conditions being
equal. Apples to be long keepers
must be grown on soil having some
clay"

The missionary who wrote TO the

had a reputation for expressing ma

The missionary further asserted that
