unproductlve Orchards.

The Illinois experiment station has
done considerable work on orchard
cultivation and management In bull
letin SO the following are given rs
some of the reasons why many orch
ards in the state are unproductive.
First-Too many growers are expect
ing a crop to be given them without
putting forth any efforts themselves
after the trees have been set. The
apple tree requires the same careful
attention as do other farm crops.
Second-Lack Of moisture is COM
mon cause of failure to the apple
grower in that state, especially in
southern Illinois, This is because grass
and other crops are allowed to COM
pete with the trees for the moisture
supplied by rains. Water is just as es-
sential to the apple tree as it is to the
laborer in the harvest field
Third-Injuries resulting. from at
tacks of insects or of fungus diseases
are a common cause of failure. These
depredators will probably consider that
they have as much right to the prod

himself. For this reason he must get
his artillery and ammunition to fight
the enemy.
Fourth-Lack of fertility is a COM
mon cause of failure The apple Or
chard cannot produce a profitable crop
unless provided with an ample supply
of nitrogen, potash and sulphuric acid,
and the same reasons may well ap-
ply to the unproduetiye orchards, of
not only Illinois, but of many other
states.
