ing orchards. In this system each tree
is equidistant from the nearest neigh
Dor in any direction. The land Is
equally distributed among the trees
and it is practically all used without
crowding the trees. 1t also has the
advantage of increasing the number of
trees about Is per cent over the rec
tangular system without reducing the
distance between trees.
There is considerable controversy
as to what is the proper distance be-
tween trees. 1t is impossible to give
any hard and fast rule as to the proper
distances, as it will differ materially
with climate and soil conditions, and
the characteristic growth Of the va
riety. There Is always tendency to
plant trees too close. This is undoubt-
eddy due to the fact that there is a
desire to use as much of the land from
the beginning as possible, and because
newly set trees always have the ap-
pearance Of being farther apart than
necessary.

rule the difficulties which later arise
more than Offset the supposed gain.
There are instances in which it would
be unwise to lose years growth of
the trees in order to put the land
chosen for the orchard in an ideal con-
dition. In the majority Of instances
the planting of commercial orchard
is not decided upon SO suddenly that
preparation previous to planting is not
possible
The surface soil should be consid-
cred from two standpoints-the char
acter of the filth, and the presence of
organic material. While the former
is more or less dependent upon the
latter, the degree of firmness is a
matter that should not be overlooked.
There are numerous systems for
planting orchards. Many fruit grow
ers have worked out their own sys-
TENS. Those mostly used are the
rectangular, quincunx, alternate and
hexagonal, or modification of them.
The rectangular or square system is
most used. In this plan the trees are
set at the corners II rectangular
area. Most often the rectangle Is
square, but not infrequently the sides
are unequal. This is the simplest
system to lay out. Its chief disad-
vantage is that it does not make
economical use of the land, there be-
ing an area in the center Of each rec
tangle little used by the trees. The
quincunx system was devised to Offset
the difficulty just mentioned.
The alternate system is designed to
correct the difficulties arising from
the former. 1t differs from it essen
TALLY in widening the distance between
rows, maintaining the same distances
between the trees In the row, and is
therefore better adapted to paintings
under 40 feet. In the alternate plan
with 80 feet apart in the row the rows
can be placed much closer together
without reducing the space between
the trees in adjoining rows so much
as to interfere with orchard opera
tions. BY this method, the number of
trees per acre may be increased, the
land better distributed among them.
and inconvenience in orchard opera
tions avoided. It will be seen that
this method approaches the hexagonal
system, for when the diagonal dis
lance between the trees Of adjoining
rows equals that between the trees in
the same row, then we have the hexa.
gonal system.
The hexagonal system, or equilateral
system, is rapidly gaining favor as
the most economical system for plant

where more suitable soils are avail
able. It is not to be understood that
light or sandy soils are preferred for
apple growing.
The depth of soil best suited for ap-
pie culture depends very largely upon
the character or the subsoil With
suitable subsoil very little surface soil
is necessary for success. Good results
are being obtained where there is but
two or three feet Of surface soil I'M
derlaid by a suitable subsoil.
Pervious limestone subsoil permits
the roots to work deeply into it, CIV
In { trees with extensive root systems.
The limestone also aids in the pro-
duction of high color, which is so es-
sential in good market fruit. 1t is at
least partially due to this fact that
the apples produced in some sections
are so highly colored. A gravelly sub
soil would be second choice IN select
ing an orchard site.
Impervious subsoils are to be avoid
ed, especially if they come close to the
surface. Such a subsoil binders deep
roofing and not infrequentiy brings
the water table SO close to the surface
that the root system Is confined to a
shallow layer Just under the surface.
Have the orchard site elevated
above the surrounding country. This
does not mean that it must be the
highest piece of land in the vicinity,
but that it should have lower levels
In proximity to 1t. Elevation Is an
important factor in fruit growing. A
rolling site which provides good air
drainage and which is somewhat ele-
waited is most likely to escape injury
from frosts.
Exposure is the direction OF slope of
the site. BY a northern exposure is
meant a site in which the general
slope of the land is towards the north.
On rolling sites. it is impossible to
have all the land slope in the same
direction. but in such cases it is the
general slope which is considered. No
one exposure Is best under all condi-
tions. AS rule, northern or north
eastern exposure is preferable. The
trees ere slower in coming into bios
som in the spring than when the or
chard has southerly exposure, and
therefore there is less danger from
late spring frosts Near large bodies
of water best results are secured by
having the exposure toward the water.
In reF ms of high winds, much dam
age o.,en results from fruit being
blown off and from rapid evaporation
of moisture. These injuries are re-
duced by choosing a site which has
an exposure away from prevailing
winds.
One of the first considerations in
planting the orchard is the prepare
tion OF the land. 1t is true that or
chards can be planted on land that
has been poorly prepared, but as a

Three chief factors enter into the

these the soil is most important, for

posture be perfect, If the soil is unfa-
vorable, the orchard will be a failure
Clay-loam soil is best for apple
growing. In the past the tendency
has been to select rather heavy clay
loan or clay soils for apple culture.
Less heavy clay loans and even soils
tending towards q gravelly nature
seem to give better results, usually.
Heavy clays are much more difficult
to handle; have tendency to carry
the wood growth too late into the
summer, and do not give as good color
to the fruit as do the somewhat lighter
soils. Both late growth and low color
are Objectionable, and for these rea.
sons heavy clays should be avoided
