Select Good Soil for Orchards.

Over much of New England. as in
other sections when orchards have been
planted too often land has been selected
that was not the best for the farm crops.
This has been, and is a mistake.
The best soil should be selected for
more rapid growth. They may be made
to produce profitable crops several years
sooner, while the cost for fertilizers may
be saved If good tiliage is kept up
combined with legumous cover crops.
