succeed. The man starting an or

stands trees and the cultivation of
trees. He should also be a good
farmer and must take care of his
crops in connection with his orchard.
He must understand irrigation, and
also must understand that he is deal

early frosts of Spring, the visits of
insects and diseases. He must take
up and understand the proposition of
combating insects and diseases.
1.-THE size of the orchard is another
important feature. If he is planting
commercial orchard, the chances
are that he will start on too large
scale. No beginner should start with
a larger orchard than ten acres. If
lager orchard is started it is proba-
BILE you will meet with small success.
The man starting an orchard usually
expects too much of his trees, and
also expects conditions to favor him
more than they usually do.
ut is also necessary to use good
judgment in selecting the site of
the proposed orchard in order that
the trees will not be nipped by the

sons will drift away from the high
spots and settle into the valleys. The
best location for an orchard is some
what above the surrounding country,
say from so to 100 feet higher, and
on a slope. 1t will be found that
the slopes of the North and East have
the richest and deepest soil. These
are, therefore, best adapted for fruit
orchards. The soil should be at
least three feet deep. If the soil is
shallow on the orchard site the trees
will not be long lived, and they will
not bear as good fruit as on deeper
soil. The site should be we'll drained,
and If there is any hardpan under
the soil, this should be overcome. If
near enough to the surface to break
up, this should be done. In some
cases dynamite has been used for
breaking up the hardpan under the
soil and the results have been |

probably better to take up such var
ieties as are found in the Bitter
Root Valley in Montana.
'In selecting out home orchard
care should be taken to choose such
varieties as will give fruit from the
beginning to the end of the season.
The following list, taken in the order
given. are the best adapted for the
climatic conditions and elevation of
this locality:
Early Harvest; Yellow Transpar-
ent; Red June; Duchess of Olden-
burg; Benoni; Chenango Strawberry;
Wealthy; Maiden Blush; Hefferies;
Gravestine; Mcintosh Red; King of
Tompkins County; Jonathan; Delic-
ious; Yellow Belleflower; Ben Davis.
ut is possible to grow peaches in
this locality, but they should be
plante das apples, on the North and
East slopes. The best varieties for
good results here are: Triumph;
Champion; Indian Cling
"De Sofa plums also do very well
in this locality.
In planting several varieties in the
one orchard, two rows of each kind
should be planted, in preference to
one or three. If two rows of the
same variety are planted they can be
sprayed to better advantage. AS be-
fore mentioned, in order to induce
deep roofing, pillow often, preferably
in the Spring, and pillow deep, and as
near the tree as possible, without
cutting the roots.'

ed. Better results are obtained by
planting to alfalfa and gathering
crop or two of this. and then plantl
ing the land to wheat or other grain
before the trees are put upon it. The
ground should be prepared in the
Fall, but Spring is the best time to
set out trees.
Nursery stock is an important fea-
ture OF orchard planting. Nursery
stock should be one year old for
Idaho conditions, because if trees
are planted two years old they usually
have scaffold limbs too far from the
ground. 1t is essential to have trees
with bodies well shaped, and the
head of the trees should be low to
the ground. The first limb should
start from ten to twelve inches above
the ground. The Nursery man usu-
ally has first limbs start two or three
feet from the surface of the ground.
In purchasing stock, do not take
these trees. Trees should be pruned
directly after planting, and should
be cut to from 20 to "a inches. This
should be done after trees are set In
ochard.
ait is important in planting an or
chard to have the trees a good dis
lance apart. They should not be
closer than 33 feet, and a greater
distance is more conducive to heal
thy trees and good fruit A lesser
distance than 33 feet should be con-
sidered too small an area for feeding
the roots of the trees.
Orchards should be plowed every
spring, especially near trees, in order
to induce deep roofing. Crops such
as sugar beets, strawberries and 9TH
err small fruits can be grown in the
orchard. However, no fruits should
be grown In the orchard which sprout,
such as the red RASPBERRY, as they
are very hard to get rid of when
once well started.
