low. Their intentions, they fondly as

are slated "redeemable upon the revival

arrived at by the county clerk, after he
cast up the balance for the last year, and
com pared it with the records of previous
years. The IA atrimonial market was
strong, with an upward tendency, until
October. Then decided slump set in.
The demand for licenses was loggy. and
the trading was all within the market.
Widowers, seven-year-old engagemexts

for delivery on or about Christmas time,
comprised the sole demand. The public
was not trading, and as a result. the

In conclusion, l would state
that before setting out your
trees you should cut off all in
Jured roots with a sharp knife,
cut back dried or weak roots, set
your trees in a hole ample CROUCH
to accommodate the roots and
about three inches deeper than it
was in the nursery. Be sure to
have your trees we'll lined and
head them low, so that the FIRST
branches come from eighteen to
twenty-four inches rom the
ground, and you have laid the
foundation for an orchard that will
give you tremendous returns with

ESTABLISHING AN ORCHARD
An Excellent Article by G. |.
Lewis, Professor of Horticul-
ture, o. A. c.
(Continued from last issue.)

There are several systems of
setting of an orchard. The first
is the rectangular or square
method, in which the trees are
set in squares. The chief advan-
tage of this system is that it en-
ables easy cultivation to be done.
Its disadvantage is that the trees
are not all equally distant, the
diasonalse being greater .thansAhe
sides. The second system is the
hexagonal. 1t is set out on the
basis OF the circle, the distance
between tine trees being equal to
the radius of the circle. Thus
we have six trees in a hexagon,
with one tree in the center.
The advantage of this method is
that the trees are all equally dis
tant, but its disadvantage is that
if the trees are set too closely they
cannot be easily removed to ad-
vantage; for, if you take out any
trees, it will still leave some
trees crowded, while other parts
of the orchard will have. large
spaces. The third method is the
quincunx-one rarely used but
probably the best of all. BY
this system four trees constitute
a square and a fifth is set in the
center OF each square, The o.
chard can be set out with the
idea that the square will be the
permanens planting and that the
fifth tree in the center will be
removed when crowding occurs.
This cen;er tree can be some
early maturing tree, like Wag-
ner. The following table shows
the number OF trees per acre by
each system:
