Old orchards are usually in sod.
Nothing will renew their life more
effectively than breaking up this sod
and cultivation for a number of years.
Before blowing fertilizer should BE- ap-
piled. Stable manure Is very desir-
able, but if not to be had in sufficient
quantity, 500 pounds per acre Of ferti-
lizer may be used. a good mixture
to use is 125 pounds nitrate Of soda,
100 pounds ammonium sulfate, TOO
pounds acid phosphate, $50 pounds
muriate OF potash, and 900 pounds OF
kainit These substances should be
thoroughly mixed before using.
Apply the fertilizer early in the
spring and pillow it under. Cultivate
your land after every rain, as soon as
it is in workable condition. Early in
August sow to the acre 80 pounds Of
crimson clover or 114 bushels OF cow
peas Pillow them under the spring
following. This will improve your
orchard. For further information,

year numbered "a, or about ten and

six weeks of this year show a better

this record should hold good for the
