Making Money
On the Farm
W. locating and Plant
ing the Orchard
By G. v. Gregory.
Author of Home Course In Modern
Agriculture"
Copyright. 1909. by American Press
Association
BY G. v. Gregory.

EVERY farm should have at
least few fruit trees to pro-
n vide fruit for home use. Where
soil and climate are favorable
and a good market can be secured
fruit growing for market is a very
profitable business.
The most important point in plan
ming an orchard is selecting the loca-
ton. The land should be naturally
well drained If possible. IL not, arti-
ncial drainage should be resorted to-
A moderate northeast slope is the most
desirable. Trees on a north slope do
not start as quickly in the spring, and
the danger of having the fruit buds
nipped by an untimely frost is less
ened. An orchard on such a slope
also suffers less from sun scald and
drought
If the hill on which the farm build
ings are placed is large enough the
orchard can be located on the north
slope and the buildings on the south.
A windbreak of double row of ever
greens on the west and north will stop
the snow in winter and help to keep
the fruit from being blown off in sum-
mer. To complete this protection the
windbreak will have to be extended all
the way around. since in summer many
OF the heavy winds come from a south
erly direction.
IT, Air Drainage.
The question of air drainage is fully
as important as that of water drainage.
Cold air is heavy and drains rapidly
into the hollows, while the air on the
slopes is warm and dry. The differ
ence of few feet in elevation often
makes a difference of several degrees
In temperature An orchard located on
a rise of land will escape many of the
frosts that cut down the profits in an
orchard less favorably located. Trees
on a hill are also less likely to be trou-
bled with fungous diseases, since dry
air is not favorable to them.
A soil too rich in nitrogen promotes
leaf and wood growth at the expense
of fruit. For this reason black prairie
soil is not SO well adapted to fruit
growing as some other lands. Loamy
clay soil underlaid with a porous sub
soil makes I'm ideal foundation for an
orchard. Cleared timberland is also
gerry good.
NYou cannot expect success with an
orchard If you plant the trees in a
hole in the sod. The land should be
put in to some cultivated crop for at
least a year before setting out the
trees. This gets the soil in good filth.
and the trees will have a fair chance
from the start.
What to Plant.
Having decided on the location for
the orchard, the next step is to select
the kinds and varieties of fruit to be
grown. The apple is the most widely
grown tree fruit in this country. 1t
has hardy varieties that can be grown
well up into the northern sections

house. however.
1t will generally pay to put a large
part OF the orchard into reliable win
ter varieties. For home use apples
are appreciated more along toward
spring and will bring higher price.
An important point to consider in
selecting varieties is quality This is
especially important in those grown
for home use. When the fruit is to
be shipped any considerable distance,
shipping and keeping qualities are of
first Importance. and the eating and
place. Yield is also important.
Buy at the Home Nursery.
In buying fruit trees it is best to
steer clear of agents with plausible
stories of wonderful quality and yield.
Some nursery agents are honest and
conscientious, but so many are not
that it is difficult to separate the sheep
from the goats. The best way is TO
make your selection of varieties and
then get the trees of some reliable nurs-
eryman in your own locality. If you
can go to the nursery and buy them of
the nurseryman himself so much the
better In that case you can select the
trees yourself and be sure of getting
good ones. Thrifty one or two year
old trees, with well developed root sys-
TENS, stand transplanting better and
are cheaper than larger ones.
As soon as the trees are received
from the nursery they should be heel
ed in" This is done by digging n
trench and covering the roots and
about half of the tops with dirt. When
the trees have been shipped for some
distance 1t sometimes happens that
they are frozen when received. In
this case they should be placed in
some outbullding. covered with straw
and left to thaw out gradually. In
this way little harm will be done.
Preparation For Planting.
The land should be deeply plowed
before planting and well 6isked and
narrowed 1t is a good practice to

while other varieties are adapted to

Of the improved varieties give as de-
licious fruit as could be asked for.
Cherries are also fairly hardy, and n
few trees are a valuable addition to
any orchard. In the milder sections
peaches and pears can be added to the
list.

must be answered for individual con-

make the back burrows where the rows
are to be and the dead burrows between
the rows. The dead burrows will thus
serve as bitches to carry off surplus
water. 1t is better to do this blowing
in the fall if the preceding crop can
be got off the land in time. In the
south the planting may be done in the
fall also, but in sections where the
ground freezes to any depth 1t is safer
to plant in the spring. FAN planted
trees are liable to root killing during
the winter. In the drier parts of the
country too, the roots do not get sufIi-
cient moisture to supply the trunk and
branches. and the tree is so badly
dried out during the winter that it
is killed.
In lands with a stiff subsoll running
subsoil plow down the row before
planting is practiced with good results.
In extremely hard soils little dyna-
mite exploded in the bottom of the
hole loosens up the subsoil consid-
erably. The hole should be dug lar
ger than the roots of the tree and
fine soil thrown in around the roots.
The roots should be well spread out
and the tree set three or four inches
deeper than it is to be finally. By
taking hold of the top and churning it
up and down after the roots have been
covered with dirt the soil will be thor
oughly worked in around the roots.
AS the tree is worked up and down ii
is gradually raised to the proper height.
Part Of the top should be cut off be-
fore planting. The top is dependent
on the roots for its moisture supply.
A considerable part of the root sys-
TEN has been lost in transplantlng. and
the top should be cut back to match.
In planting one or two-year-old trees,
known as whips" this cutting back
serves a double purpose by causing
the tree to throw out branches just
below where it is cut off. In trees of
this kind the cut should be a few
inches above where the first branches
are to be.
There is considerable difference of
opinion concerning the proper height
to head apple trees. Low headed trees
are much less liable to sun scald since
the branches shade the trunk. They
are easier to spray, and the apples can
be more easily gathered. There is also
much less damage from large branches
being broken off by the wind. The
chief objection to low heading is that
1t is difficult to get near the tree when
cultivating the orchard. This objec-
ton, however, is hardly enough to out
weigh the advantages of low heading.
If the soil is firmly packed there is
little need of using water in the hole
when planting trees. The dirt should
be packed very firmly around the
roots. Get in with both feet and pack
It as hard as possible 1t Is a good
plan to lean the trees a little to the
south in order that the branches may
shade the trunk better and also be-
cause the hardest winds in summer

The standard distance apart for APP
pie trees is thirty-two to forty feet

may be as close as twenty feet. APP

When the latter trees come into bear
