CULTIVATION OF PEACH TREE
and Care Used to Conserve All
Moisture Possible.

It is very essential to take the very
best possible care of the young trees.
They should be kept thrifty and
healthy, and all necessary care given
them to conserve the moisture and
plant food in the soil
Early in the spring. as soon as the
soil will permit it should be stirred
TO inches deep; thus, if the trees
have been planted as deeply as they
should, blowing this depth will cause
them to produce a deep root system
which will not be Injured as quickly
by freezing or drought. After this
blowing the fertilizer should be ap-
piled and worked with a disk harrow
or cultiyatOr
Frequent civilizations should be
given with the cuItivator or disk har
row, running deep enough to form a
good soil mulch, and prevent subse-
quent baking or crusting of the sur
face and prevent loss of soil moisture
by evaporation. Thorough culture
kills all the weeds. which are a con-
slant drain on the soil moisture and
plant food. and also assists in de
composing and liberating any plant
food which may have been turned IN
der.
