An important point to consider In

place. Yield Is also Important

can go 20 the nursery and buy them OF
the nurseryman himself so much the

trees yourself and be sure OF getting
good ones. Thrifty one or two year
old trees, with well developed root sys-

are cheaper than larger ones.
As soon as the trees are received
from the nursery they should be "heel-

trench and covering the roots and
about half Of the tops with dirt. When
the trees have been shipped for some
distance IL sometimes happens that
they are frozen when received In
this case they should be placed in
some outhuilding. covered with straw
and left TO thaw out gradually. In
this way little harm viii be done.

chief objection to low heading is that

The most important point In plan
ming an orchard Is selecting the loca-
tion. The land should be naturally
well drained il possible. II not. s-ti-
fetal drainage should be reSorted to.
y moderate northeast slope is.the most
desirable. Trees on north slope do
not start as quickly In the spring, and
the danger OF having the fruit buds
nfpped by an untimely frost is less
ened. An orchard on such a slope
also suffers less from sun scald and
drought
II 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.
y 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 of 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 n south
crly direction.
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

makes a difference OF several degrees
