ORCHARD OILS

The best cared for orchards OF to-
day are better titled than the well
tended orchards Of fifty or a hundred
years ago but the introduction Of mod
srn farm machinery has certainly made
II a much more economical process
now than II was formerly. For quality
Of work done II is dens:.c, IL any
implement has ever been invented
which equals the hand f.oe. but the day
has past when the hoe can be used to
profit in the cultivation Of any area Of
land, larger than the family garden.
During the last few years the manu-
facturers OF farm implements have
paid particular attention to the per
fection OF tools for the cultivation OF
orchards. The reason for this OF
course is that there is a demand for
such tools and the manufacturers are
trying TO get few OF the dollars which
the fruitgrowers are willing to pay for
tools especially adapted TO their ppr-
poses.
There is no one nor no two best tools
for orchard cultivation. The selection
OF tools for this purpose like that Sc
lecting OF tools for the cultivation OF
annual crops depends on the texture
Of the soil. It is practically impossi-
Bile to tell absolutely what tools will be
best adapted 20 any soil without trial,
but any person of experience with tools
and soils can easily rule out large
number OF tools which they can see at
once are not adapted to the soil in
question.
For the first one or two civilizations
In the spring most orchardists find
some sort OF disc harrow does the best
work with the least expense. For this
purpose a tool is desired which will
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1911-10-19

cultivate about three OF four inches
deep and very thoroughly. The disc
harrows will do this on all soils except
those containing large quantities Of
scrap rock, or which have lodges crop
ing out. The only objection to the disc
harrows is their heavy draft. To use
the words OF one farmer who had q
long and varied experience with these
tools, They are team killers" This is
not really an objection TO the tools SO
much as IL is an indication that usually
there are not enough horses attached
to these implements to pull them with
out overstraining the animals. An
orchard which has been cultivated
twice with a disc harrow will usually
be In quite as good tilth as II It had
been plowed and there is much less
danger Of cutting large roots with the
disc than with the plow
The later civilizations are best done
with some OF the lighter draft harrows.
Probably the spike tooth is the most
popular for this purpose because it is
the best known but the writer doubts
II in most soils It will do the best work.
On Clay land which Is inclined to be-
come cloddy unless cultivated at Just
the right time the acme harrow gives
particularly good results. The acme
is particularly good because It will
level the Irregularities Of the disc bet
ter than any other tool. On soil which
contains large gravel or scrape rock
the spring tooth harrow win give the
maximum amount OF results for the
minimum amount of effort. The aim
of these later civilizations should be to
keep anything like a crust from form.

California State Legislature for the
erection Of guide boards in the Cali

been launched by the introduction of
