MOISTURE IN ORCHARD SOIL
Water Is OF Prime Importance While
Tree is Fruit Maklng-Chief Ele-
ments of Success.
tBy WALTER B. LEuTz,


AS water is the means of circulation
of plants as well as of animals there
fore it 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 sum cient avail
able plant food. but lack water at that
critical period while the tree is fruit
making If a soil lacks water some
form OF fertilizers are a positive de.
trimcnt 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 a 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
vds to maintain the fertility Of the
orchard soils.

SET OUT STRAWBERRY PLANT
Several Methods In General Use, but
Matted-Row System Seems Best
keep Weeds Down.

There are several methods of plant
ing In general use, which may be mod.
if1ed to suit the planter. The method
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, If 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. spade is an easy implement
to open the ground with. Strike It
into the ground and work 1t back and
forth, draw out the spade. spread the
roots OF the plant, and set 1t so tho
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 It
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.

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike

these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the

ailment can expect to have clear

of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms Of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-

purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
| to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
