THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
HOW TO START AN APPLE ORCHARD
Vital Points That Mean Success or
Failure.
By GEORGE T. POWELL.

By GEORGE T. POWELL,
President of the Agricultural Experts Assoc
citation.
The first thing to do in starting an
apple orchard is to select the best place.
While apple trees will grow everywhere,
they will thrive and produce fruit only
on such soil and in such location as are
best suited to them
The best land for apple trees is the
rolling upland that lies at an elevation
of from 400 to 1000 feet above sea level.
On land of this character trees are far
more healthy and will be less subject to
diseases. There also is less danger from
late spring frosts.
The kind of soil is the next most
important thing If possible this should
be somewhat heavy loan, with enough
clay in it to save washing in times of
heavy rains. A soil that is made from
limestone is best for fruit trees.
This kind of soil is found on the Pa
cific coast, in several Of the northwestern
states, in the great lakes section, in
Kentucky and Tennessee and in the
Lake Champlain and Hudson river val
leys. While good apples will grow out
side of these limestone soil formations,
neither the trees nor fruit are as good.
The trees are shorter lived, while the
flavor of the apples is lacking
The right preparation of the soil is of
great Importance. To dig holes in sod
and plant trees in them, as is so often
done, is absolutely wrong. Trees so
planted frequently do not produce fruit
under fifteen or twenty years when they
should bear in six. Some varieties I'M
der good culture will bear apples in
four years. Apple trees under good
management and care will live and pro-
duce fruit for more than 100 years, and
the right things should be done in the
beginning.
To obtain the best results, the soil
should be plowed and corn or potatoes
grown year before the trees are plant
ed In sections where the mercury does
not go more than 20 degrees below zero,
autumn is the best time in which to-
plant. The rows where the trees are to
be planted may be plowed deep and the
trees set, banking them up well with
earth. They will stand the winter and
will gain three months the following
season over trees planted in the spring.
Dynamite is being used with much
success in tree planting. 0ne-half of a
stick put down about three feet where
the tree is to be planted will loosen the
soil thoroughly and advance the growth
of the tree materially the first two
years.

Why We Need Alfalfa.

There is no com bination of feeds so economical for the production of beef, pork, mutton, butter and eggs, as corn and alfalfa. Neither will give ihe best results alone. We need alfal ia because it balances up the corn ration and saves the large waste of starch which always takes place where corn Is fed alone We need alfalfa because We can by means of it grow on our own farms the protein more protitably than we can buy it in feed stuffs. We need alfalfa because il feeds the soil and enables us to grow larger crops of corn and oats We need alfalfa because 1t produces on an average double the feed value per acre of clover or any other forage crop.
 Advisable to inoculate.
 In regions where alfalfa has not been grown 1t Is found to be neces- sary to inoculate the ground by sOw- from a field where alfalfa or sweet clover has been srown for . number of years; or where it is moro convenient. artificial cVl- ture. such as nitraSin," fsrmo- germ" etc. may be applied.

Rel eated experiments made by the obtained by the actual growers of al tslfa in the Semi-arid sections of the vest throughout the corn belt states, and in the south and east. are conclu. i've evidence of the great value of alfalfa.
 There are few farmers whose profits would not be increased greatly by rais- ing alfalfa. Every farmer should aim to produce, as far as possible. his eordstufs upon his own farm.
 During the last few years. the area v ~ote3 to alfalfa has greatly in- creased in the region west of the Mis- >oUri river, and it is certain that rere will be an equally rapid in- .! ease throughout the eastern and southern parts of the United States.
 Many of the attempts in the past tc grow alfalfa in the humid regions have failed. but with our present knowledge of the requirements of the crop tEere will be little, if any. more .roHble in securing stand.
 Alfalfa will soon be sfovn abun- dantly and proftably upon every farm. It is no more diff cult to Srow than clover and gives double the yield The deep roofing habit Of alfalfa enables it to resist drouth when clover, tim; othy, blue grass and other forage grasses die for want Of moisture. Al falfa roots grow deep into the soil far beyond the roots of other plants.
 Its drouth resisting power is Of no greater importance than it's great value as soil enricher. The long toots bring phosphorus, potash and other plant foods from below and store them in the upper soil for tho use Of other plants. Experiments show greatly increased yields of other crops grown upon alfalfa sod.
 Alfalfa is rich in protein the most essential element in feed to mako bone, blood and muscle in growing sni- mals
