Fruit Tree culture.

The question is very frequently
asked, Do fruit trees do well in sandy
soil? That depends upon circum-
stances. II There is no subsoil of clay
or other material, then there is a
small chance of a successful orchard
on sandy land. A sandy loan. how
ever, is often very good for peaches;
other fruits will frequently thrive in
such places. In some localities in the
Mississippi valley the finest peaches
are grown upon sandy loan soils
where there is not too much damp
ness and moisture. No fruit tree for
that matter should have its feet wet
all the time.
Farmers who do not intend to sell
fruit should not set out too much land
in orchards. Trees need attention and
they need It Just when everything else
needs It. It would be easy sailing IL
the trees could be fixed up during the
fall and winter months to bear the
next summer, but nature does not pro-
vide for that. To neglect an orchard
is a downright insult to Mother Ma
ture and that is why no farmer should
bite out a bigger bit OF orchard land
than he can swallow conveniently.
