THE ORCHARD
Leaves and Wood Use More
Plant Food Than Does Pro-
j duction Of Fruit
NITRATE FERTILIZER NEEDED
Four Important Factors Govern the
Success or Failure Of An
Orchard.

Since orchard trees require several
years to develop before they reach
maturity and even then do not bear
heavy crops every year, thus allowing
years in which they may recuperate
after a heavy crop, we are apt to jump
to the conclusion that orchard lands
require less fertilizer than other fields
which are used for the production of
grain and general farm crops. We
should not forget, however, that even
though the tree is not bearing fruit
every year, 1t is each year producing
large crop of leaves, the major por-
ton of which are blown away from
the orchard by the wind. Few
people realize that more plant
food is used in growing leaves and
wood than in producing fruit, but such
is the case. AS matter of fact, in
peach orchards more plant food enters
into the leaves of the tree during its
life time than. into all the fruit which
comes from the tree, consequently the
drain on the land from an orchard is
greater than ordinarily supposed.
The orchard planted on deep, rich,
loamy soil will doubtless find all the
plant food it can utilize already pres
ent in the soil. Orchards grown on
thin shay or sandy soil will not pro-
duce either a maximum yield or max
imum growth unless they are artifi-
cially fed. 1t is difficult to know just
when an orchard needs more food than
the land supplies, but as a general
proposition, soil that will produce a
good crop of corn without fertilizer is
rich enough to produce apples and
peaches without the addition of any
fertilizer or manure. Soils that need
fertilizer for corr should be fortified
when planted in orchard. The only
sure way to determine the fertilizer
requirements of an orchard, is to con-
duct small fertilizer test in one cor
ner of the orchard.

Why Is Charles Town Firm?
Because Its Citizens Have Learned
The Truth.

After reading this generous and en-
encouraging report from Mr.. Reinin-
ger. those who have the misfortune to
suffer, as he did. will naturally long to
get similar relief. But to get the
same good as Mr. Reininger had, you
should get the same remedy. There
are of course, other kidney pills but
there are no other kidney pills the
same as Doan's. That is why Charles
Town people demand the genuine.

had severe pains in my back and of
ten had to place my hands across my

them. They quickly relieved me. One

Row on right fertilized with com.
plete fertilizer; row on left fertilized
the same, except that nitrogen ls left
out.
The question at once arises, @Wha.
kind of fertilizers are best adapted to
orchard conditioner The Horticul-
tural Department of the West Virginia
Agricultural Experiment Station has
been studying the effect of fertilizers
on apples and peaches, and have found
that nitrogen is the one form of plant
food to which the peach tree will re
spond with increased growth and pro.
duction. On the other hand the appli-
cation of muriate Of potash in quanti-
ties Of three to four pounds per tree
has worked an actual damage. Appli:
cations Of acid phosphate have appar.
emily neither benefited nor retarded
the growth and productivity of the
tree. Both potash and phosphorus
have FASTENED the maturity of the
fruit somewhat, while nitrogen has de-
layed it. Nitrogen has produced
larger fruit, but less highly colored
than are naturally produced.
On the heavier soils of West Vir-
ginia, fertilizers are probably not need.
ed to any extent in raising fruits This
would be particularly true If good cul-
tural methods are observed in the
orchard, that is, the turning under OF
coyercrops each year. The best fer
tilizer that could be used is undoubt-
eddy barnyard manure, wherever it is
available. About two forkfuls spread
about the young tree would be suffi
cient, while bearing tree would re.
quire from two to five hundred
pounds, depending on its size. Where
manure is not available and the trees
are not making strong growth, or
the foliage is not dark colored, nj
trate Of soda will be the best chemical
fertilizer obtainable.
1t might be well to suggest at this
point that unless the fruit grower is
prepared to prune his trees carefully
each year; to put in effect thorough
and systematic spraying schedule; to
keep his orchard in good sanitary
condition; and finally to put up an
honest and attractive pack when his
fruit natures, it would be useless for
him to spend money in fertilizers. In
other words there are several factors
that contribute directly toward the
success of an orchard, and to leave
out any one of them is to nullify the
effects of all the others. OF these sew.
eral factors. spraying and pruning
come first, followed by careful con.
servation of the soil moisture, either
by thorough cultivation or BY mulch.

whenever necessary with fertilizer.

SOCIALISTS OPPOSED

According TO resolutions adopted by
the local Socialist organization Of Ho-

Organization are opposed TO having the
supervisors accept the Gift of the labor
Of two hundred idle men in Honolulu,
whom the Associated Charities is will
ing to pay until conditions improve so
that the idle laborers can secure steady
employment. Here are the resolutions
adopted by the Socialists at q meeting
last night;
whereas, the Associated Charities has
offered to the city of Honolulu, free
of charge, the labor of several hundred
men, who are to receive one dollar per
day: n
Resolved, That it IS the opinion of
the Socialist party Of Honolulu ia pub;
lie meeting assembled that the city Of
Honolulu lshonld by no means accept
charity, and that the employment Of
several hundred men at wages of one
dollar per day will inevitably result in
a lowering Of the wages of the working
class in these Islands; and further we
declare that all the unemployed. have
right to decent existence, and that
this community should provide them
with work at the prevailing scale Of
wages for such work as they may pcr-
