PRACTICAL HINTS
FOR FRUIT GROWER
Constant Planting Is Necessary
to Keep Peach Orchard Thor
oughIy Up to the Mark.

Whenever we see a farmer, par
ticularly in the peach belt, buying
peaches, we feel that one part of his
education has been neglected.
There are scores of communities
In which about one-half of the resi-
dents grow their own peaches and the
other half buy from them, and then
emit a wall that they cannot grow
peaches themselves.
Peaches perhaps do best on sandy
soil which, thoroughly enriched and
cultivated, Is now growing in many
parts of the country, excellent fruit.
No matter how thrifty our peach.
orchard may be, constant planting
is necessary to keep it thoroughly up
to the mark, because the trees devel-
op and mature rapidly and are there
fore short lived. Peach trees decay
more readily than any other fruit tree
No reason now why fruit should
not go to market packed in the most
attractive manner. Boxes and ham.
pers are being made of paper, and
are just as cheap as wood
There is almost as much in the SELL
ing of fruit as in raising it, and fruit
that is well packed in attractive pack
ages, always brings the best prices.
1t is a sad mistake to plant young
trees in the midst of old and worm
eaten trees, particularly when no at
tention is paid to the eradication of
insects.
1t is permissible to allow saw In
an orchard occasionally, but it be-
comes pretty nearly crime to take an
AK among the trees.
Not much use to spray for leaf
curl after the buds break We tried
to convince a man of this fact when
we saw him spraying during the mid
die of June. He said he was spray
ing to prevent leaf-curl, but did not
know what caused it. Do you?
Orchard soil must be rich in organ
ic matter, and for this purpose, If no
other, clover crops are valuable.

GOOD SUCCESS IN

lieve this profitable plant is as gen.

| plant the seed in bed in May,
after the ground Is thoroughly warm.
l make the bed in rich, damp and not
wet, soil, pulveriZe it as finely as pos
sible and drill the seed scantily in
shallow rows eight inches apart. AS
high as 5000 plants may be secured
from one ounce of seed.
The seeds terminate slowly, often
taking two weeks or more to appear
above ground. II the weather becomes

with strips of thin boards.
When three inches high clip off the
tops Of the leaves to make the plants
stocky. In six weeks l transplant into
larger beds, clipping off the tap roots

inches apart.
In July set the plants in rows five
feet apart, and eight inches apart In
the row. When about a foot high l
begin to draw earth against the rows
and between the plants. Later this
process is repeated until all the stalks
and part of the leaves are covered.
This keeps the stalks white and ten

When the growing season Is over
place wide boards along the sides OF
the rows, to blanch the stalks still
more.
Unless the ground is richer than is
necessary for most garden vegetables
and is very moist, celery will not give
satisfaction.
Unleached ashes and we'll rotted
manure are the best fertilizers, and
they must be applied literally.
Mucky or damp black land, properly
drained is best for celery. 1t is USE
less to try to grow successfully in dry
upland unless the land can be proper
ly irrigated in some way.
