MANY ORCHARDS !. ARE UNACCEPTABLE
 
Thousands of Acres Almost Past Re- denptton-Trees Must Be Pruned
 In Winter.

ThereA are thousands of acres plant ed to orchards in Arkansas that are almost past redemption, and, if the trees are allowed to go through this winter without better care than they have had in the past, few of them will ever bear another crop of fruit. The time has come when we must either care for our orchards or go out of the orchard business, and, the sooner the time comes, the better it will be for the more prosperous orchardsts over the state, says J. s. Knox, horti- culturist with the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and U. s. Department of Agriculture.
 There are several things which should be done during the winter, such as removing the borers from the trunks of trees, cultivating, pruning Nand spraying for the control of the San Jose scale. The borers should be gotten out as early as possible, since the more damage they do. The best and surest method of doing this is to throw the dirt from around the base of the tree. then scrape the bored portion until all soil is removed and cut out and kill all worms found. As soon as the worms are removed, or at least week or ten days thereafter the soil snNuld again be put back and slightly killed about the base of the tree. !
 The orchard should be given good blowing during the dormant period This not only covers up the grasses and weeds, but it destroys millions of the spores of brown rot and scale. Deep blowing should not be, attempted closer than four feet of good-siZed trees. HarTows, however, can be run much closer. ;2 f(;! ];
 In the orchards visited recently l have noticed that the branches broken down by last summers crop of fruit are still hanging on the trees, The ese should be cut out and burned at. once since they are full of the larvae df bark beetles. All dead or badly dis eased branches should, if possible, be removed, then the branches which are thick or rubbing on each other should be thinned out Pruning is especially desirable in young orchards because it is at this time that we give our trees the proper shape. In making the cuts do not leave a stub from tone-half to six inches long, but cut them real close to the body of the tree, Where the stubs are left the wounds made in pruning very seldom heal oyer pro perly or readily and they may be, ithee tth4ee means of causing decay to set in on the tree at that point. !; 7 i} ,fsf;f

GARDEN WORK FOR JANUARY
High Prices Make the Plans Very
 Popular. 'e,;'i s}fa

The high cost of food products at the present time makes it necessary for many men to make plans to supply his family table with fresh vegetables from his own garden, says J. s. Knox of the Extension Division of the Uni yersity of Arkansas and U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture. There is very little that can be done in January so far as real gardening is concerned but the fence corners should be clean ed out thoroughly and all of the rub bish removed from the garden spot in preparation for the tlrst planting This will be the means of exposing many of the insect eggs and spores of different diseases which the cuiG weather will help destroy. The ground should be plowed well in order to in. prove the physical condition anG to help in the control of insects. Ii ma nure is available it should be broad cast over the soil and turned under al this time. unless the manure IS al- ready well routed, in which case il 1lIdS UC DCSl tO " alt uIltii CuIJN Spl Ills to apply.
