[By NJ. c. BURRITT, United states De-
partment Of Agriculture in Farmers Bull
letin 49l)
Throughout the humid regions of
the United States there are large
numbers of small apple orchards. In
many sections there is scarcely a
farm which has not it's small home
orchard. These orchards vary in size
from a few trees to several acres.
They were planted mainly for the pur-
pose OF having a home source OF sup
ply of thi5 excellent and popular fruit.
In most cases they were not intend
ed as commercial paintings nor was
the fruit grown for sale. They were
planted in order to have apples to eat
during the long winter evenings, to
make the famous apple pies. and to
lay in a stock of sweet cider and
vinegar
Farmers of earlier days knew little
of scientific orchard management and
cared less. It was sufficient for them
to know that the trees lived, grew,
and eventually bore fruit. Not being
a source of income the orchard was
naturally left To- take care of itself.
AS result, where the conditions were
favorable some very good trees were
grown, but where they were unfavor-
able the trees became stunted. scrub
by, diseased, and unproductive. AS
a rule set too thick, they grew
up in the air, the lower limbs
died or were pruned off to get them
out of the way, and highheaded, al
most unreachable trees were the re-
suit. The trees usually stood in sod,
and in most of these orchards the
hay was cut and removed or the grass
pastured off. In many places the
regular rotation of crops was fol-
lowed in the orchard. Too often it
was planted on the poorest soil, site

He was awakened next morning by
the thunder Of heavily shod men storm
ing in from the clubhouse. The smell
of cooking was in the air and tho
crack under his door showed lamp
light.
The rain was still dripping softly
from the caves. AS Sandry came into
the eating room the old woman of the
kitchen was looking over the crowd
of men as impersonally as he himself
had done the night before, with a
poise as assured and a subtle force as
strongly indicated

tated.

voice, its yours now. Johnll move

She went back into the mysterious
region of pies and doughnuts. and
Sandry was conscious of slight feel
ing of wonder. He was already taken
in as one OF the family in subtle
way. and II did not quite suit him to
be so. II he missed certain lifelong
attributes of service and surrounding,

rough men with an inward tremor Of

was clad in the same sort of blue fan

tie under the rundown collar and a
rather short blue skirt showing her
feet laced trinity into miniature boots
The latter were even full of small
steel caulks.
IL was still dark when the loggers
trooped out into the fine rain.
John Daily came to him.

interval that tried him severely in

reached the sharp crest of the ridge
Below him lay the valley, the wind

camp. the toy railway, with its tiny
engine, the donkey whose putting rose
in a white spiral. the rollways and
the huge log trail winding up the

as he looked there came the staccato
toots of the whistle-bob whose invis-
ible line crept away into the hills
above the cables. the engine got down
TO work with a volley CT coughs. the
spools screamed and the great steel
rope lifted heavily along the trail.

Profitable Renovation.

It usually will not pay to renovate
orchards composed largely of worth
less or very poor varieties. Nothing
is to be gained by increasing the yield
or grade Of a variety which cannot
readily be sold in the open market at
a good price. When trees OF such va
rieties. however, are not too old-not
more than thirty years-and are in
fairly good vigor, they often may be
topworked to advantage. The best
method of doing this is by cleft-graft-
ing in early spring. Under favorable
conditions tree may be changed from
a poor variety to a desirable one, and
made to bear sruit in from three to
five years,
There is some question as to wheth-
err il will pay to renovate summer

wonder that these orchards have be-

slightly?
The old apple orchard. be it 20
trees or 200, may form an important
source of income on the general farm.
An effort should be made to make this
unit a productive one and so to re-
juvenate and care for these old trees
that they will contribute as much as
they are able to the net farm In
come.
