nurseries they represent may be all
right, but you are not always sure OF
what you are getting and in most cases
you are paying the agents salary and
the expense Of delivering the trees. If
you are thinking Of setting out an or
chard this fall, let us help you.
Improving the Orchard.
II you already have an orchard, why
not begin to improve 1t now? A cover
crop sown now and turned next spring
will help wonderfully. Twenty pounds
of crimson clover seed per acre, sown
and disced will make a good cover,
provided the seed are inoculated.
Three necks Of rye and 20 pounds Of
hairy vetch to the acre will also make
a good cover for the orchard If these
are turned next spring at the first cuI.
! tivaton they will add lot of fertility
to the soil will also help to hold mois.
ture.
There are a good many mummy
fruits hanging to the trees. These are
full of spores and if left in the or
chard will cause more rotten fruit
another year. Now is a good time to
get these out Of the way Pull and
burn them.
Borers may have been giving you
trouble You were advised to paint
and mound the trees early in summer
The mounds should be pulled down on
October l5 and the trees examined for
borerS. The young borers are Just
entering the trees the middle of Octo-
Der and will be found going in just
above the level Of the hill of dirt you
pull down. If you find any Of them,
scrape the bark off with knife and
the little borers will be destroyed
The work at this season consists
largely in cleaning up and preparing
for winter and spring. If done prop.
rely. the trees receive much benefit.

Have you supply Of fruit on your
farm? II not, why not begin now to
make arrangements for it? On almost
every farm Of the state there are a
| few trees, producing a small quantity
OF fruit. In most cases all the fruit
ripens at once and Is soon gone, giving
a supply for only short time and leav-
ing mono to put away for winter use.
No southern state is better adapted
than South Carolina to producing fruit
for home use, yet millions of dollars
leave the state every year for canned
fruit.
Preparing Soil.
At this season OF the year (Septem-
Der 1 to October 15) orchards are usu-
ally neglected. Farmers seem to think
that there is nothing to be done then
that will be of any material help. New
ertheless, now is the time to begin to
prepare soil for the trees that are set
out this fall and winter. Select the
orchard site, break the soil as deeply
as possible and harrow thoroughly.
This work will greatly reduce the Ia
ter labor or setting the orchard.
Choosing Varieties.
What varieties are you going to
plant? This is point of great i'm
portanCe. BE sure to make selections
that will provide fruit throughout an
entire season. If you are not familiar
with the varieties that are adapted to
your particular section, write to the
Extension Division, Clemson College,
for Bulletin No. Is. In this will be
found lists Of varieties suitable for the
various sections of the state.
Buying Trees.
Where are you going to get your
trees and what are you going to pay
for them? If you are not in touch
with reliable nursery and If you are
not familiar with the prices Of trees,
the Extension Division Of Clemson Col
lege will be glad to help you in this
matter. Beware Of the tree agent. The
