years before planting, by sowing
some leguminous crop and turning
it so as to supply plenty of humus
and moisture to the trees. Young
growing trees demand large
amount of nitrogen and moisture
in order to make thrifty growth,
and a little work in building up a
soil will be we'll repaid in short
time.
Before locating an orchard for
commercial purposes it is well to
go into a community where apples
are already being grown CONNER
cially, because the markets in
such region are already we'll es-
tabllshed. The fact that there
are no orchards in a region should
not prevent one from going into
the fruit growing business pro-
vided he has the proper conditions.
For an orchard to be successful it
should be located where there is a
good local market, or where the
transportation facilities are good.
Plant as close to a railroad as pos
sible SO as to avoid long hauls and
danger of bruising the fruit be-
fore it reaches the market. There
are many fine fruit locations in
Kentucky, close to good markets
and within easy hauling distance
of the railroads. The land in
many cases can be bought very
, cheap and with a little time anC
work it can be made very valu,
able for orchard purposes.

Starting An Apple Orchard.

Tie site for an orchard should
not be low or level but it should
be located on land that is some
what rolling so as to provide good
air drainage. Care must he taken

a hillside, because of the Difficult
ties in spraying, tilling and har-

above a river are often good, he
cause the river draws the frost
and the land is very easily work
ed.
The question of exposure is of
prime Importance in the planting
of trees. In general, Northern
and Eastern slopes are more fer
tile than Southern or Western
slopes. A Northern or Eastern
slope is to be preferred in this
region because such exposure aids
in holding back the buds in the
spring when there is danger OF
damage by freezing. W here early
ripening fruits are wanted it is
probably better to plant on LAND
with Southern exposure. II

clay loan. Any land that will
grow good crops of corn or irish
potatoes is considered fit for an
orchard provided the location is
such that the land will drain readi-
~. Trees cannot thrive in thin,
badly worn soil or where an i'm.
pervious subsoil is near the sur
face. Such a soil is liable to hold
too much moisture, thereby caus-
ing the trees to be stunted and
weakly. If it is necessary to plant
an orchard in a soil that holds too
much moisture, provision should
be made for artificial drainage
before the trees are planted. Tile
is the most satisfactory drainage
to install, even if the initial cost
is little high. Brush and stone
drains are unsatisfactory because
they have to be taken up and
placed in order too often in order
to keep them in good working con
dition.
Soil containing abundant plant
food should be selected for the
orchard so as to insure a vigorous
and hardy growth from the very
start. 1t is poor practice to crop
land for several years, thereby
exhausting the soil of the plant
food, and then plant it, to fruit
trees expecting them to care for
themselves. Kentucky has many

Young Women and Carpentry.

J
A number of young women in
Toledo are taking lessons in the
carpentry department of the city's
Manual Training School. A class
of this kind is rather unusual, but
lessons in carpentry will do the
young women no harm, and the
knowledge obtained is more than
likely to come in handy"
Presumably these women stu
dents at Toledo are not endeavOr-
ing to qualify themselves for MEM
bership in the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of Amer
lea, or for earning a living by
! building houses or working at re-
pair jobs. AS a matter of fact. a
little knowledge and experience in
the carpentry line would be good
thing for the great majority of
the American people.

tanned the concensus of opinion,

means the depreciation of the
