The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-12-15
Planting the Orchard.

Many inquiries come to me about
how to plant apple trees; some come
by mail, some by telephone and some
by personal calls. Now, l am not
mentioning these inquiries in order
to enter any complaint against such
appeals. | want the readers of The
Ranch to understand that they are at
liberty to ask for information rel
alive to any phase of fruit growing
in which they are interested. All who
are patrons of the paper belong to
"The Ranch Family" and can be free
to join the "Qiz Club at any time.
We have reason to know that many
more who read the paper are interest
ed in these same things and will be
interested in general treatment OF
the subject of how to plant trees and
especially apple trees.
The first thing to be known is how
to prepare the ground to be planted.
The ground should be treated just as
if we we're going to plant it to any
grain crop, such as wheat, oats, barley
or corn. All trash should be remov
ed and the ground should be we'll
plowed. How deep to pillow will be
determined by the nature of the soil.
Some soils are naturally loose and
open. In such cases the blowing need
not be very deep for the simple reason
that such soils can not be materially
changed by blowing. But where the
soil is compact and hard it should be
loosened up to the depth of foot or
more. In many such cases if the
stirring pillow could be followed by a
narrow subsoil pillow, much good
would be accomplished. If there is
hardpan within one or two feet OF the
surface, then the use of dynamite is
to be recommended. 1t would not be
best to dynamite the whole field to be
planted for that would be attended
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-12-15

with much labor and expense. In
stead of this wholesale dynamiting
let the ground be laid off and the
place where each tree is to be set can
be dynamited.
The advantage in dynamiting where
each tree is to be set is that the roots
will penetrate to a much greater depth
and the water will go as deep as the
roots. A tree in such a position will
resist drought much better than those
planted over hardpan for these will
have all their roots near the surface
and will readily dry out. A friend of
mine told me at the Lewis and Clarke
Fair of peculiar case of the benefits
of dynamiting that happened to a
man in Missouri. In cleaning off his
orchard tract there was occasionally
big stump that was blown out with
dynamite. The object in using dyna-
mite was simply to get rid of these
stumps, with no thought of benefting
the condition of the soil. The ground
was planted to apples and all parts re-
ceived the same kind Of cultivation.
But to the mans surprise he found
that now and then a tree was more
vigorous than its neighbors and in a
few years we're almost twice as large.
That was not all, for when the orchard
came into bearing, those vigorous
trees bore bigger and better apples.
At first this whole matter was
mystery to the Orchardist but finally
he remembered this dynamiting and
upon examination he found that each
one of those vigorous trees was where
a stump had been blown out. 1t was
found upon examination that water
went very much deeper where the soil
had been broken up by the dynamite
and as result the moisture about the
lower roots lasted through the dry
season and thus the trees there re-
NAMED vigorous and continued to
grow while the other trees in that
orchard looked sickly and the fruit on
them was small and poorly colored.
From this and from lessons learned
by observation | am convinced that

III many cases IL WOulu pay large Io-
turns if we dynamited the ground
where each tree is planted. l have
some places in my own orchard where
this method of dynamiting would be
practiced if I was again setting the
ground to apples. A low grade of
dynamite should be used. A hole
could be drilled with crowbar to the
depth of three or four feet and the
charge exploded at the bottom.
have had no experience in this matter
and can not give the cost of such
work but l am told by those who
claim to know, that the cost per tree
would be light
Having prepared the ground for the
new orchard including the dynamit-
ing, the next thing is to prepare your
trees. Each tree should be cut off
where it is desired to form the head.
Authorities differ somewhat about
the height of the tree-head from the
ground. At one time it was the
custom to head trees from four to six
feet from the ground. That day has
gone by and now the height recon-
mended by most orchardists is from
eighteen inches to two feet from the
ground. The advantages of low head
ed trees in spraying, thinning and in
picking the fruit are so great that no
one now opposes that form unless he
is fossil from another age. In Gull
tivating our orchards now we use
spreading disks and harrows and do
not need to drive our horses close to
the trunks of the trees.
But before we plant our trees we
must prune the roots as we'll as the
tops. There is an erroneous idea
abroad about preserving the fibrous
roots found on all young trees. You
can not do that, if you would, for
these root hairs will nearly all die in
the transplantlng and it will most
likely be better if they do. The old
root hairs can never be renovated so
as to perform their legitimate work.
The first thing done by the newly
planted tree, so far as the roots are
concerned, is to grow a new set of
root hairs. The function of root
hairs and the newest parts of the roots
is to admit water into the circulation
OF the tree. The old parts Of the root
system can not and do not admit any
water to enter the tree through them.
This could be abundantly proved by
the best authorities on plant phys
iolgy. AS confirmation Of my views
on these matters | wish to make few
quotations from Prof. w. +. Massey
of Maryland, in an article recently
appearing in the Rural New Yorker
Prof. Massey says:
"No matter how carefully the tree
is lifted, the small fibres and the root
hairs will be dried up and lost and
the tree has to make new ones, and
it will make these more readily from
smoothly pruned roots than from the
old tibres, even if they are not entire
ly dead. In planting a tree | always
prune the roots all around, cutting
with a sharp knife sloping cut on
the under side and when ready for
planting the roots are not more than
six inches long from the stem all

MATURED STOCK
HEAVY GRADES
PROPERLY HANDLED

If you buy trees and don't insist
on the above three essentials, you
have only yourself to blame if you
don't get satisfaction.
We have the climate and soil con-
ditions to enable us to grow the big
gest and best trees. We have the
proper season in which to mature
our stock, unhampered by unfavor-
able weather and unreasonable
rains, and we know how, and are
equipped for digging, handling and
shipping our stock in a manner
which insures to the purchaser far
or near, trees in the proper condi-
tion for planting so he will save
every tree.
And the grades?
With the largest block of staple
fruit trees in our nursery which is
to be found in the entire Northwest,
we are prepared to give our Gus
toners the heaviest grades obtain
able.
Our apple gratis will be meas
ured from the bud and not from the
union as is the custom in most nur-
series. This makes difference of
six inches in the lengths and a pro-
portionate difference in the caliper
and usually means one grade better
for the same money.
Place your order now and obtain
the class of stock you want. If our
salesman overlooks you, write us.
