Favorable Site First
Step in orchard Success

Since the different fruits vary
somewhat in their habits of
growth the site must be selected
according to the requirments of
the fruit. These requirements
are set fourth as follows by L.
G. Heron, Extension Horticul-
turist of the Mississippi A. & M.
College, who is conducting or
chard planting demonstrations
in many parts of the state.
tits generally conceded that the
peach does best on ratherS. thin
light soil of a slightly sandy tex
ture. The sour cherry follows
the peach closely in its desire for
light soils. A slightly heavier.
denser soil is more favorable for
the American plums, while the
European varieties do best on
the heaviest clay soils. Apples
are best adapted to growth on
the medium soils, and pears,
next to the European plums, de-
sire a heavy, dense soil, April
cots are similar to sour cherries
in their soil requirments. l
While some fruits are best
adapted to light loamy soils and
some to heavy clay soils, they
all grow most successfully where
the subsoil is. open and porous,
allowing quick and efficient
drainage and free circulation of
air. Wet soil and subsoil con-
tanning little air are two, condi-
tons that fruit trees will not
Withstand. Practically all roots
have the power to penetrate the

cause they cannot live where so.
small, an amount of air is pres.
ent. 1t is sometimes mistakenly
said that tree, roots penetrate as,
far into the soil as the top does
into the air. The first four or FIVE
feet of earth contains practically
all the roots and for this reason
it is not necessary to determine
the character,of the ubsoil to a
greater depth. "
The easiest and quickest way
with which to determine the
character of the subsoil is by the
use of a soil auger. This may |
be bought or one may be made |
by welding a two-inch wood aug
er bit to the end of a three-quar-
ter nigh pipe or a one-half inch |
rod six feet in length. 1t will
also be necessary to weld a piece
across the top with which to
turn the auger
Air drainage is perhaps the
next thing in Importance to be
considered. Cold air drains to
lowest place just as water does. |
Because of this those orchards
located in valleys or depressions
are more subject to loss from
late frosts than those located in
hills or elevations. There is also
more loss from frost where the
air is still than where the wind |
is blowing, so the low, sheltered |
land is again undesirable.
If the orchard is far from the |
house, a site close to the house
is especially desirable. This ap-
plies particularly to the summer
fruits. A single plum tree or
early apple tree near the house
is worth fifty a mile away. The
farmer and his wife are busy
people and do not have time to
run. over. there every time they
want a handful Of fruit. Orch
ards close to the house receive
better care and attention for
their needs are befort the owner
all of the time. They are pro-
5ected from providers, which is
an important consideration of
hose living close to towns or
titles.

BY CLARENCE B. DOUGLAS
(Secretary.)

(Secretary.)
In the Tulsa Chamber of Com
merce. Successor to the Tulsa
Commercial club, this city has
perhaps the best known and most
effective commercial organization
in the entire United States, and
for this, the writer takes little
credit, for the reason that he has
only recently been identified with
the organization.
That Tulsa, Oklahoma, is bet
ter known, nationally, than any
city of its age in the world, is
due almost entirely to the efforts
of the Chamber of Commerce and
its predecessor, the Commercial
club.
That the great city Of Okla
homa has been built here; that
Tulsa is the financial center of
the Mid-Continent field; that it
is the home of so many million
aires; that it is the ranking city
in railroad tonnage and passen-
ger business; that it is the rank
ing city in bank deposits, bank
clearings and building permits
that it is the nerve-center of the
industrial southwest, is alto
gether owing to the energy and
enterprise Of its people, focused
and directed by the old Com
mercial club and the Chamber Of
Commerce.
Did Not "Just Grow"
Tulsa did not, like Topsy, just
grow. Tulsa is not a result OF
chance. Tulsa is not an accident
in city building. Tulsa is the re.
suit Of persistent, concerted en-.
ergy and intelligently directed
efforts of the group Of men who
have constituted the membership
Of it's commercial organization
and that commercial organization
has been the necessary energy
and industrial currents to bring
about Tulsa, the magic city Of
today.

out the united efforts Of its mem
bership, Tulsa now would prob
ably be q whistling station or
