SOIL TOO RICH FOR APPLES
Trees With Beautiful Foliage, but
Mighty Little Fruit, Were Finally
Removed by Ak.

A common mistake in the selection
OF a site for the apple orchard tract,
large or small, Is that of choosing a
soil that Is too rich; that will cause
abundant growth of wood, but mighty
little fruit. In the valley in which the
writer's ranch is located is an or
chard of mature apple trees. as pretty
a sight from the standpoint of foil
age as one could ask to see, which has
lately been felled because 1t did not
deliver the goods.
The tract is fat, rich and well wa
tered. Within gunshot Of this tract is
a block of winter Nellis pear trees of
the same age that for several years
past have crossed their owners close
70 a thousand dollars per acre, says
a writer in an exchange. Never was
more enphatically demonstrated the
fact that soil can be too rich for ap-
pies, but not for pears. Within a mile
of these unproductive apple trees, on
thinner and lighter granite soils, the
apple trees bear politically to the
point Of breaking down.

GOOD SOIL FOR BUSH FRUITS
Ground Between Rows Must Be Kept
Fine and Mellow-Glve Plenty
Sunshine and Air.

The ground between the rows and
around the bushes should be kept
fine and mellow. II the soil Is allowed
TO become hard and allowed 10 grow up
in weeds and grass. the yield Will be
cut short, and the fruit will be small
and OF inferior quality. All bush fruits
should be grown In wide rows, so the
greater part Of the cultivation can be
done with the horse. hoe and culti-
vator. The proper distance TO plant
c~urrants. r~aspberries. b~lackberries and
gooseberries In the fruit garden Is
five feet arart each way for horse cul-
tivation. Fo- the small family garden,
plant In rows five feet apart and three
feet apart il the row. This will allow
of the larger portion OF the cultivation
being done with the horse cultivator.
The ground around the bushes must
be broken up and mellowed with the
hoe. Expert fruit growers maintain
a dust mulch until the berries are half
size. then a thick coa OF long strawy
manure, grass or rotted leaves is
spread over the entire ground about
four inches thick. This mulch pre-
vents the growth of weeds-and keeps
the soil cool and moist. When this
method is followed. the field will be
greater. the berries free Of dirt and
much larger size and OF extra fine
flavor. All fruit succeed best when
given plenty Of sunshine and air, along
with intelligent culture. The common
practice OF planting the bushes along
the garden walk or fence row is bad.
as the bushes cannot be cultivated
economically. The yield and size OF
the berries is greatly increased where
there is a full supply OF moisture. The
irrigation for fruit and vegetables big
surface flow and under ground irri-
cation is being extended as the result
of tests made by practical men. The
method OF irrigation for vegetables
and small fruits practiced by market
gardeners of Boston has been found
economical and profitable.
