and location on the farm, and re-
ceived little or no care. Is it any
wonder that these orchards have be-
come improbable, not to say un-
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.
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 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
top-worked to advantage. The best
method of doing this is by cleft-graft-
ing in early spring. Under favorable
conditions tree may be changed from
poor variety to desirable one, and
made to bear fruit in from three to
five years.
There is some question as to wheth-
er it will pay to renovate summer
apples in the northern states. To
make renovation Of these trees profit

L
partment of Agriculture in Farmers Bull
letin 491.)
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 its 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 this 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. 1t 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
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 high-headed, al
most upreachable trees were the re-
suit. The trees usually stood in sod,
and in most of these orchards the
hay wa cut and removed or the grass
pastur6d on. In mSny places the
regular rotation OF drops was fol-
lowed in the orchard. Too often it
was planted on the poorest soil, site
