A great deal has been said lately
about intensive farming. and farmers
have been urged to confine their ener
gies to smaller areas and to give bet
ter cultivation and more attention tC
details. All these principles apply
with equal force to fruit growing. The
curse TO the fruit grower is an ambi
ton to possess quantity rather thar
quality and to widen his field of opera
ton without a corresponding degree
or labor
In the West, where fruit growing
has been carried to O far greater per
lection than here, FIVE acres of orchard
without small fruit or vegetables, are
considered enough TO call for all OF
one mans activity.
Intensive fruit growing means the
cultivation Of comparatively small
areas and the application thereto OF
such labor as will produce a maximum
OF fruit by the exercise of scientific
methods and careful attention TO de-
tails. 1t is a system much more salts
factory and profitable to the grower
than the old extensive one, and when
ever it is given fair trial there will
be no departure from 1t.
