and the returns to be expected from .
rehabilitated orchard must be intelli-
gently considered.
First OF all. it should he said that
the methods here 10 be- described are
hardly worth while from the economic
point Of view unless a. much as one
acre or say thirty trees are to be
worked over. They are. however.
equally applicable. of course. to few
trees, or even one If because OF its
character or associations the country
dweller would save ii at any cost
What can be done to make old, neg
lected. unsightls, useless trees vigor
GUS and productive is surprising. One
ambitious farmer by whom a straggly.
unkempt apple orchard Of twelve acres
had been grudgingly taken over in
the purchase OF a small suburban farm
was well advised To spare the ak. He
applied modern scientific methods in
stead. Within five years a small yield
Of almost useless fruit had been mul
tiplied by ten. and the output was an
apple Of the highest grade.
First the likelihood Of success Is de
termined by the original suitability OF
the site and the soil Of the orchard
one will assume them passable-and
the surviving yigor of the trees. Age
Is not such a great factor. Ordinarily
one would go slow about beginning
work on a tree more than forty or
fifty years old. but truly remarkable
results have recently been obtained
fair share Of yigor.
As for the cost, this can be made
surprisingly low, for most Of the op
erations involved may be performed by
the most ordinary labor. Thirty dol
lars year per acre is a fair allow
ance.
The actual task Of making over an
abandoned orchard is usually divided
into four principal parts: Pruning. fer
tilizing, cultivating and spraying. To
these are sometimes added surgery and
thinning.
AS regards the cost some very illu-
minating figures have recently been
presented by individuals and in United
States government reports.
The expenditure per tree has been
put variously between 81 and S.. One
apparently safe estimate Is based on
the experience Of farmer in New
York state. He restored" a forty

his effort. He is a teacher of voice as
we'll as piano, violin, yioloncello, and
all band instruments, added to this he
is a competent arranger and is capa-

that he or his pupils require.
His time with the army is practically
finished; of course he can remain until
retired as provided for by act of con-

to retire at this time and settle down

beside his wife has five sons, all mu-

is infatuated with Ardmore and ex

this under advisement at the present
time and as there is crying need
for a military band here, there is lit

year ago some prominent oil men of
this city stated publicly that they
would become patrons of a good music

on stated nights at the parks of the
city. These men will renew their Of

the business men backed by the cham

There are few cities the size of Ard

here have realized for some time the
need of such an institution and seem
prepared to back it.
