animal "hunt." All over the lawn, the

spoils; basket and crackers to be kept
and besides there was a prize of those
cunning little animals to be found at
Japanese stores. A toy animal also
made unique prize and a "Noah's

being protected by large towel tied

OUNCE A PROFITABLE CROP
Cultivation on increase in United
States Where 1t Has Seen Grown
for Many Years.
(By ]. Z. MANDELL.)


In habit Of growth the ounce is a
low dwarfy tree which admits close
planting in the orchard. Ten feet
apart each way is sufficient distance
FOR most varieties. Planting the trees
at the above distance will give about
435 trees per acre.
While the ounce will grow on al
most any kind of soil, medium
heavy clay loan, being easy of cult
walton, is the ideal soil for it. In such
a soil the ounce readily responds to
good cultivation, and if given good
care it will continue to produce good
crops of fruit for many years. In
case the soil should be hard or de-
ficient in plant food liberal applica-
in making the soil better one and
keeping the tree in a vigorous condi.
ton.
The ounce does not require a great
deal of pruning. About all the care
that will be necessary along this line
will be to remove and cut out the
surplus shoots and dead branches. An
occasional shortening back of the
longer branches may be necessary to
keep the tree in it's natural form.
The best time for pruning probably
is just before the beginning of the
growing season. Any wounds made
at that time usually heal promptly.
The ounce Is propagated in many
ways. The methods most in use are
by budding, grating, cutting and
from seed. The method of propaga-
ting by cuttings is the easiest. The
cuttings should be made from the
fresh young growth of the previous
season and be treated as any other
cutting.
The ounce begins to bear early,
usually In two years after planting.
The size of trees and kind to plant de-
pend to some extent upon the locality
and the taste of the grower. Two
year old trees seem to be preferred
by most planters.
The ounce is so easily grown that
the care required in raising 1t is moro
than amply repaid by the value of the
fruit produced. When the ounce Is
properly prepared for the table by the
many methods recommended it is a
very delicious fruit.
The ounce finds a ready market
and sells at good price, all depend
ing on the quality. The price paid
the past season ranged from two to
three and half cents per pound.
The ounce h,-s been grown in vari.
GUS localities throughout the United
States since the early days. It's cult
walton is on the increase and in some
sections we find 1t planted on a CON.
mercial scale. But owing to the fact
that the ounce, including all the
varieties, is unfit for eating urcooked
has kept it from taking much rro,pi
nence among the commercial orcha I'd
fruits.
The uses to which the. ounce may
be put are many, but it's chief value
is as a preserving fruit. Where the
ounce is grown 1t is naturally more
used In France and some of the
other European countries, large quan.
titles of the ounce are used yearly
for making ounce marmalade and
wine. The marmalade industry, es.
pecially in France, is quite an ex.
tensive one, and the finished product
finds quite ready sale.
