CARING FOR FRUIT GARDENS
Trees Planted Last Fall viii Require
Cultivation During Summer to
Keep Soil Mellow.

The bearing red raspberry cones,
after they have done fruiting, die
These cones should be cut out as soon
as the leaves commence to turn yellow
to make room for the new growth. The
new cones should not be allowed to
reach higher growth than four and
one-haf to five feet. The leading bud
should be pinched out This checking
OF the main shoot causes the side
shoots to make growth and these in
turn should be pinched back when
they are Is inches in length. Allow
three to four cones to the hill All
suckers should be cut close to the
ground. Run the cultivator between
the rows and cut out all grass and
weeds among the cones. The soil
should be kept clean and mellow. to
promote stocky growth of next years
fruiting cones. The same culture
should be followed with the black
berry cones.
Black cap raspberries differ in theiI
manner of growth from the red and
yellow raspberry family. They do not
throw up suckers from the root. but
multiply by roofing at the ends Of the
cones, which naturally bend down aud
touch the earth.
Fruit trees planted last fall and thif

Humus In Orchard Soil.

The humus loosens the soil particles
which In turn increases its water ca
pacity. The humus is essential for the
growth OF the beneficial bacteria OF
the soil. One of the most important
parts that clover crop plays is its
ability to change chemically the com.
pounds in the soil and put them in an
available form for the trees. The
clover crop gathers. digests and turns
over to the trees the plant food which
