RE"ovING PLANT FROM POT
Method Shown in Illustration VIII En-
able One to Re-pot Plants With
out lnjuring Roots.

A lady gardener once said to me:
Il have no trouble in taking a plant
out of a pot in which 1t has beer
growing for some time, as ! simply
take a table knife and cut around the
inside of the pot, Ind the plant drops
out when the pot is inverted" But
That method cannot be approved, as
the knife will ruin many of the roots
and so lnjure the plant that IT will not
recover its normal growth again foI
several weeks after shifting, says o
writer in Parks Floral Magazine.
But 1t is not only in repotting that
we wish to take a plant from the
pot Often we wish to examine the

grasping the pot is shown in the H.

MOISTURE IN ORCHARD SOIL
Water is of Prime Importance While
Tree Is Fruit Maklns-chief Ele-
ments Of Success.
CBy WALTER Il. LEUTz)

AS water is the means of circulation
of plants as well as Of animals there
fore 1t is of prime Importance that
water be present In the soil, in order
that the plant food in the soil may be
taken up by the trees.
Many orchards have sufficient avail
able plant food, but lack water atythat
critical period while the tree is fruit
making Ii a soil lacks water some
form OF fertilizers are a positive de.
triment If they are present in abund.
ance.
The chief elements OF success In pre-
pairing an orchard soil for the best re-
suits may be summed up as:
Removing surplus water from the
soil. The conservation of plenty of
moisture The judicious use of manure
and cover crops. The use of potash
and phosphoric acid In available forms.
Cultivation to keep mulch. Reduc-
ing the number of trees per acre. BY
Withholding nitrogen, and increasing
the amount OF mineral matter. BY the
use OF wind breaks. BY mulching. By
keeping the soil In the best physical
condition possible, II is not wise to
stick to the exclusive use of any one
practice. but to employ various meth.
ods to maintain the fertility OF the
orchard soils.

Several Methods In General Use, but

There are several methods of plant

which seems best adapted to ordinary
conditions In the matted-row system.
In the spring. when the land is in
good condition to work, harrow smooth
and mark out rows four feet apart and
as long as possible. Then set the
plants at IS or 24.inch intervals in
the rows, and cultivate often enough
to keep the weeds out and the soil
loose until September. when. II the
plants are vigorous growers. the run
ners should be about six inches apart
1t is desirable to train the runners
the long way to the rows, cutting out
plants that crowd In ordinary plant
ing trowel or spade is used to set the
plants A spade is an easy implement
to open the ground with Strike II
into the ground and work II back and
forth, draw out the spade, spread the
roots of the plant, and set II so the
crown comes Just to the surface of
the ground. Firm the soil well about
the roots of the plant. AS soon as
possible after setting the plants, cul-
tivation should commence, and 1t
should continue at frequent intervals
till fall. Keep the weeds down and
the top soil loose. II the runners get
too thick, cut out part of them, leaving
about six inches between them. Run
ners may be encouraged to root by
putting an inch or two of soil over
each one near the end
