Enrichment of Soil and the Caro-
Needed by Trees.
The condition of the ordinary farm
orchard is generally such as to make
the experienced horticulturist feel sad
Steps toward permanent reform in the
care of the orchard as outlined by /.
writer in Iowa Homestead must be:
First, a thorough understanding that
fruit is a crop in exactly the same
sense as corn or wheat--that is, ii re-
quires certain amount of fertility in
order to return good crops; that every
crop consumes a certain quantity of
soil fertility and that that fertility must
be maintained by the same means en-
ployed in the case of other crops. Sec
ond, that a certain amount of work
must be given toward the production of
fruit crop just as in the case of other
crops
II the farmer, convinced of this. stands
ready to reform his methods the first
process will be TO restore the fertility
OF the soil to the degree required for a
good crop of corn. To do this he can
employ the legumes. such as clover and
peas, as well as stable manure and
commercial fertilizers. If the trees are
large, at least quarter load of ma
nure should be given each one, scat
tered as far out as its limbs extend. or
a top dressing of the whole orchard
would be preferable if the supply of
manure will admit of it. or ground bone
and muriate of potash. 200 pounds of
