GOOD SOIL FOR AN ORCHARD
Must Be Prepared Sufficiently Deep
and Drained So That Roots May
Reach Into SGbsoil.

First of all, the soil must be well
drained and prepared sufficiently
deep SO that the roots may reach deep
into the subsoil Second, the sur
face soil must be cultivated FREQUENT
ly and rotation of cover crops and
catch crops employed so that a suf-
flcient amount of plant food will be
made available to promote a rapid
healthy growth rather than forcing
the growth of the trees by the use of
manures and fertilizers rich in nitro
gen. In some rare instances the soil
may be deficient in plant food, and
the intelligent use of mineral plant
foods will prove very beneficial
1t is when the orchards begin to
produce large crops of fruit that the
demands for plant food must be met
If profitable crops of superior fruit
are secured At this time the roots
OF the trees have taken possession OF
practically all of the soil, and have
utilized the larger portion of the
available plant food SO that the adj
dition of manure or fertilizer is es-
sential
The function of the soil In furnish
ing the trees with nourishment is an
exceedingly complex one, and there
are certain well-defined laws that
must be kept In mind for Improvement
and maintenance of the fertility of
the soil that is occupied by the trees.
Some orchardists advocate sod mulch
others depend upon cultivation and
the liberal use of fertilizers and barn
manures, others cover crops and min
eral fertilizers as a means of imp7ov-
ing and maintaining the fertility OF
orchard soils
The fact that no two soils required
the same line of treatment has caused
a confusion of ideas in the manage
ment of orchard soils.

Heard on the Waterfront.

Some ancient mariners were sitting
in a seaport tavern relating their ex-
periences of fogs.
All" said one old salt I've seen
some pretty thick fogs IN my time.
Why, off the coast of Newfoundland the
fog was sometimes so thick that we
used to sit on the deck rail and lean
against it, We were sitting one night
as usual, with our backs to the fog,
when suddenly the fog lifted, and we
all went flop into the sea. A bit thick,
wasn't it?"-San Francisco Chronicle.

PROTECTION GIVEN TO TREES
Danger OF Barking Can Be Avoided
by Driving Stakes or Wrapping
With Wire Fencing.

Many fruit trees are seriously in

with a singletree in cultivating. 1t
takes a very careful man to get
through the season in cultivating the
orchard without doing any injury. On
the average farm where the orchard is
of minor Importance, the farm hands
ana even the owner are careless and
bark many trees This danger can be

Soil for Apples.

Any soil especially adapted to the
growing of white potatoes will usually
be satisfactory for apples. If any diff
ference is to be distinguished it would
be in the way of allowing a larger
amount of gravel or loose, broken
stone in an apple orchard than In a
potato field. Indeed, there seems to
be no limit to the amount of loose
stone which may be present in an ap-
pie orchard, except the limit of cultiva-
ton.

YOUNG Trees in Orchards

Young trees planted in an old or.
chard very seldom give satisfaction.
This is largely for the reason that
young trees need different care from
old ones, and also because the young
trees will hardly receive as much sun
shine as they should because of the
shade they will get from the older
trees.
