ONE MANS ORCHARD EXPERIENCE

For the benefit of young farmers who
arc going TO plant and raise an apple
orchard L Will give you few points.
Don't cultivate and stimulate the
growth OF young trees too much. Let
them grow slowly and NATURALLY, like
a forest tree.
My reasons for this advice are. A
few years ago a neishbor OF mine set
out an apple orchard and he cultivated
some Sowcd crops between the rows all
the time
lie washed the trunks of the trees
with weak lyc and old soapsuds
through April May and June. and
those trees crew to beat the band.
1t was the general talk all over tho
settlement what fine orchard old
man Riley had.
Well, here comes the results of such
good treatment When the orchard
began to bear the trees began to die
blighted to death.
Forty per cent of them arc dead nov,
and the others are going to follow.

THE POSSIBILITIES OF AN ACRE

Strawberries. From this first yoer.a
crop money was secured to make tho
first improvements.
He built a storehouse for keeping his
products In winter and used all spare
time and money in enriching the soil
Manure was bought at the stables In
nearby towns and in three years the

with plenty of stable manure with but
small outlay of money.

Strawberries are the most difficult of
all berries TO can so as TO retain their
delicate flavor and color. They should
be placed in a colander before stem
