UTILIZING GROUND FOR ORCH
ARDS.

Al, OF us do not realize what planting an
orchard means. We do not always stop
TO think that VIC are giving up soil TO the
orchard. which. after few years at most.
must be given entirely TO the trees. We
are also expending money for manure or
commercial fertilizers. and all this with
the hope OF obtaining a profit on the In
vcstmcnt from the fruit OF the trees.
Some OF IN realize these things but argue
wrongly when we claim that none OF thu
best ground on the farm can be spared
for the orchard. hence We set the trees
In soil that has been badly exhausted by
previous groupings and then we growl be-
cause we do not get n crop. Then. some

planting. set the trees which are intended
for the permanent orchard and between
them we set all sorts OF classes and mix

think will bear fruit. There IL no oh

carly and quick bearing sorts between the
varieties which are TO form the permanent
orchard, provided we set the trees for the

feet apart each way with ono filler tree be-
tween. Then. when the permanent tree
