Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the In

are glad to lend their testimony for

Postum for short time. she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its

AND FUR ORCHARD
should Be Properly Prepared to
Facilitate Irrigation.
Plan, While Not Absolutely Neces-
sary, Should Be Made and Show
Location of Every Fruit Tree
and Names Of Varieties.

CBy FABIAN GARCIA. Horticulturist.
New Mexico Agricultural Experiment
Station.)
Since all of our apple orchards
must be irrigated 1t is necessary that
before planting the trees the land be
prepared as much as possible in or
der to facilitate irrigation. AS a rule
it is best. If it is new land. and espe-
cially one with sand hills all over 1t.
to break it up and plant 1t TO some
hoed crop the first year. In this way
one will get the land in better shape
for the trees the following season. In
the Rio Grande valley. sandy spots
which have been leveled down are
usually very deficient in plant food
and 1t may take two or three or even
more years to get the soil where
these sand hills were to be as fertile
as the rest of the land. The land to
be used for an orchard should be deep
ly plowed and narrowed before plant
ing. These bitches will serve for irri-
eating the trees the first and even the
second year. without having to irri.
gate the middle between the trees.
This Is a very important point to con-
slider and especially SO where water is
expensive, or where the middles are
not to be planted to crops.
While 1t is not absolutely necessary
to make a plan of the orchard 1t Is
nevertheless a great help to have one.
The necessity for a definite plan OF
the orchard will become impressed
upon the planters mind as work pro-
crosses and his ideas develop. The
plan of the orchard should be drawn
to scale upon paper with ink. II
should include the location of every
fruit tree and the names of the varie-
ties planted. On paper one can see
things better than In the field and
changes can be made more easily II
necessary. As a rule orchardists do
not wish to be bothered with a plan
and oftentimes they find that, after
their trees are in bearing, they are
uncertain as to the varieties planted
and the exact location of the different
trees in the orchard. The plan of an
orchard is then of great value and or.
chardists should not overlook this
fact. nor fail to make one while they
have the data In mind.
Practically all orchardists recon
mend selecting a sloping site because
OF the advantage of good air drainage
Air drainage while not generally con
sidered an important factor In apple
growing by the amateur orchardist II
nevertheless one which plays an i'm
portant part in the success of profit
able fruit growing. In the large irri
gated valleys in New Mexico 1t is fire.
quently impossible to consider very
strongly the factor OF site for the rea
son that apple orchards are planted
as a rule on level ground. In sections
especially in the mountain districts
where a site having good air drain
age can be selected this possibility
should not be overlooked. since much
loss due to frost injury may In this
way be avoided. Cold air is heavier
than warm air and for this reason II
will settle In the low places which are
thus most likely to be the frosty ones

Value Of Street sweepInes.

The new superintendent of streets
in New York has made arrangements
to have the sweepings of the streets
delivered TO the farmers of Long Is
land, and hopes soon to dispose of all
the sweepings In the city by sending
them out on other railroads. Those
sweepings have certain value as ma
nure, but It is not very high. and
gardeners have not been anxious to
get them when they could have them
for carting five to ten miles. Those
who tried them gave It up after few
trials, saying that It made their soil
too compact Ground stone and iron
form about as large a part Of the
weight as the manure, and they ar,
lacking in vegetable matter or humus

CELERY NEEDS MUCH WATER
There Are Few Localities Where
Good Crop Is Raised Without
Some Irrigation.
(By W. r. BEATTIE. Bureau OF Plant In

(By w. r. BEATTIE. Bureau OF Plant In
dustry. u. s. Department Of Az
riculture.)
Celery is grown for its tops and
requires plenty of moisture at It's
roots. and in most cases a part at
least of this must be supplied by irri-
CATION. There are few localities or
soils on which good celery can be
grown without more or less watering.
Occasionally we find piece OF muck
land underlaid by stratum of spring
water which rises toward the surface
in sufficient quantities to render irri-
cation unnecessary.
In its native habitat celery grows
on marshy land; however. the i'm
proved varieties do not thrive on land
that is constantly saturated. The best
results in celery growing are obtained
where the soil is perfectly drained
and where the necessary moisture
comes in the form of rains or is sup
piled at the will of the grower. A
vigorous crop of celery will require
supply of moisture equal to one inch
OF rainfall for each ten days of Its
most active growth. While the plants
are small the amount will not be SO
great. and again later In the season
when soil evaporation has become les
sened not SO much water will be
needed.
The method of applying the water
will depend entirely upon local con-
ditions. A few growers are so fortu-
nate as to be supplied with water by
natural resources. such as a stream
that may be handled by gravity. arte-
| sian wells or underground springs the
| water from which rises in the soil II
| the outlets are shut of. BY far the
greater number of growers Of celery
must provide both the source OF water
supply. either in the form OF wells
or by placing a dam across stream.
and also the means of lifting and de-
livering the water where needed. In
this day and age no gardener is living
up to his opportunities who does not
have a water system from which he
can supply moisture to a part OF his
| garden at least In a few cases the
supply of water for irrigation can be
drawn from the system of some city.
but as rule a special pumping and
distribution outfit must be provided.
The method of handling water that
is in most common use among grow
ers is to employ a gasoline engine
and a pump OF type suited to local
conditions. The type Of lifting device
will also depend upon the method OF
distribution and the pressure required.
Where the water is to be lifted but n
few feet and discharged into an open
ditch or wooden fume the simplest
outfit consists of a centrifugal pump
belted to a gasoline or steam engine.
This type OF outfit will work where
the elevation is not more than 30 or
40 feet. but even here the pump must
be lowered almost or quite to the
level of the water In the well or reser-
voir and the upper or discharge end
of the pipe must remain open. There
are several good makes OF centrifu'
gal pumps upon the market This
type Of pump should as rule not be
selected where the water is to be de
livered through lines OF pipes. but
only into open bitches or fumes where
there will be no back pressure.

Many new irrigators and for that
matter some of the older ones make
the mistake on our heavier lands of
not irrigating thoroughly enough. It
takes time to get water into these
soils to supply crop and prevent
drying out so quickly as to cause
burning of the crops. When CORFU
cations or burrows are used it is of
ten necessary to let the water run
from twenty-four to forty-eight hours
