while we find trees properly cared for
upon which as many as IL bushels Of
pears six bushels of peaches. and thirty
bushels OF apples have been grown to
the tree Ii must be necessary for us TO
take up in detail some Of the causes that
underlie the failures TO secure paying
crops OF fruit.
In the first place we must have good
whole-rool grated tree. A number of
nurserymen in our state and other states
have scattered trees over the country
that were piece-root grated and hence
they are short-lived, easily lawn over,
slow in maturing and never bear much
fruit. They have no top root and must
sustain themselves by means of a few
side branches grown near the surface.
These are made by cutting an ordinary
Seeding root into three pieces and graft
ing three scious onto those three pieces
and thus making three trees where
there should be but one. If you have
good whole-root tree set in the proper
place, you may be sure of crop some
day This is the first and one very es-
sential step.
The next thing is TO look well to the
location of your orchard. Set it on the
East slope, if it be apples or on the North
slope if it be peaches. Set it well
up but not exactly on top the hill. You
may need little protection from the
west wind. Don't set your orchard down
low in the valley for the cold air must
drain into those valleys and there is
much more likelihood of frost there. If
it be plums you are growing. set them
high up SO the air can circulate freely
else they will rot badly. IL it be too
wet or too dry they will blight badly.
Don't place pear trees where hill must
drain its surplus water past them. Rich
ground is not always necessary for the
production of good fruit Much excel
lent fruit may be raised in bluffy, thin,
hilly land but of course we can't expect
quite such results as might be obtained
from better land.
Having our orchard properly located
we must next protect our trees from the
enemies that destroy them and their
fruit. The life OF a peach tree in Ken

lucky under the care usually bestowed
upon it is seven years. Now if we count
ont the years in the life of tree in
which it has had its fruit killed by the
frost we need not expect more than one
or two crops. Hence, we conclude at
once that itdoes not pay to raise peaches
in Kentucky. Here is the trouble
There is a small fringe-winged moth
which lays its eggs on the tree and the
larvae when Matched crawl down Just
beneath the ground and bore into the
bark of the tree. Here they stay thru
the winter and continue to eat holes or
tunnels in the bark. The attack is usu-
ally made in the most vital part of the
tree at point located just above where
the roots branch. They often girdle the
tree and hence cause its death. Not
only do they cause the death of the tree
but they impair its growth. The first
sign Of the destruction effect of these
borers is the presence of number of
small dead branches scattered thruout
the tree. When you see these branches
you may take it for granted that borers
are present. They begin to attack the
peach in the nursery row and are likely
to renew their attack every summer
thereafter. When you dig for them you
can tell of their presence by an excretion
of gum. When you find this take a
sharp knife and follow the hole carefully
until you come to the borer which is a
light colored worm from one half to
three fourths of an inch long. Kill it
and clean the tunnel carefully, scraping
out all the worm dust. Then fill it up
promptly with fresh dirt or lime and
pack well. Be sure you have all the
borers out before packing the dirt or
lime. 1t has been found advisable with
old trees badly infected to dig a pit
around the tree like washpan, banking
it up quite well. Then pour a gallon or
two of boiling hot water around the tree.
This will kill the borers and then give
chance to heal Another device is to
hill up around the trees in late summer
and when the borers go down in tho fall
they attack the tree higher up in a part
whore they can be more easily seen and
caught and which is not so vital to the
tree. If these borers are kept out and

two miles from Conway, on the farm
owned by II. p. Dalton, there are several
trees more than foot in diameter which
bore fine crop Of peaches this season.
Mr.. Dalton informed me that this was
their 2ist crop. He also said that out Of
twenty one crops there had been 10 full
crops and only two partial crops. They
are high up on the north east slope and
are not affected by frost. In such situa-
lions there is no reason why an acre Of
ground set with $50 trees will not pro-

rieties $3.50 is small estimate on the

peaches is once estimated, with proper
