Generally speaking, q peach orchard
should be TILED throughout its entire
life, beginning with the first season
after the trees are planted. II, for the
sake of economy or for other reasons,
II is impracticable to work the entire
area between the trees, 1t is usually
feasible TO confine the tillage for the
first year or two to n narrow strip
along each row. But the width of the
titled strip should be extended each
season and by the third year the entire
surface should receive attention. BY
this time the roots of the tree extend
beyond the spread of the branches and
the entire space between the rows,
where the trees have been planted the
usual distances apart, is rapidly be-
coming filled with small roOtlets and
root hairs through which moisture and
plant food in solution are taken up.
Time for Tlllage.
Under normal or standard conditions
in most peach-growing districts the ad-
vice applies generally to begin the till
age in the spring as soon as the soil
Is in suitable condition to work. But
in the case of bearing orchards, some
of the most experienced growers wait
until after the fruit has set before they
begin, In the belief that earlier tillage
may influence adversely the setting of
the fruit, The presence of cover
crop, its character, and the needs of
the soil with reference thereto are
other factors that may influence the
date of beginning of tillage.
If the soil is hard or If there Is a
cover crop that has made considerable
growth 1t will be necessary to turn
the soil with q pillow and follow with

The productive colony of bees is like

Many good beekeepers in the United
States receive good living from their
bees and have incomes equal to that

of agriculture.

Vlueu curing the winter.
OF the major sources of loss of bees
the greatest is the death and weakness
of colonies in winter. BY starvation
and exhaustion of vitality the average
winter loss in most localities is fully
10 per cent. 1t is not at all unusual
for the honey crop to be reduced one
half by poor wlntering, yet this coming
winter loss can be reduced readily to
less than per cent.
A second source of loss Is from two
infectious diseases of the brood of
bees, European foulbrood and Ameri-
can f0ulbrood. Within the past few
years many of the states have pro-
vided for apiary inspection, and in all
but few states these diseases are suf-
ficiently controlled to permit CONNER

MES from disease is probably $1,000
600, and many beginners in beekeeping
are discouraged by the disease situa-
ton. This source of loss is therefore a
serious one.
When a colony becomes populous
during good honey flow 1t normally
makes preparation to swarm, thus d.
viding itself into two colonies. While
this instinct is advantageous to wild
bees, 1t results In a reduction In the
honey crop If the division occurs, as 1t
usually does, Just before or during the
time when nectar Is especially album
dant. Rarely can swarming be entire
ly prevented, even with the best of
care. but the proper measure of bee
keepers skill is his success in reduc-
Ing this activity. A failure to attempt
this causes untold loss In honey every
year. and the methods of swarm pre-
Vention and control can be understood
only by careful study and experience.
The proper giving Of room for sur
plus honey is important in this connec-
ton. 1t is an unusually good locality
In which nectar is abundant all sum-
mer and this room must be given at
Just the right time. This necessitates
watchful study Of the nectar-produc-
Ing flowers. It is quite a common prac-
tice for beekeepers to put on one

honey and to walt until this is entirely
oiled before giving more space. This
results In the loss of much honey from
lack Of storage space. and often too
much is stored in the part Of the hive
which should be devoted to'brood rear
Ing. The proper placing Of room for
surplus honey requires vigilance and
study, and failure to provide this

of the weeds interfere with the root
development of the cultivated plants.
This is thought by many to be the
principal factor involved, and undOubt-
sdly It plays an important part. The
fact that weeds do harm in more ways
than has been supposed is all the more
reason why the farmer should make
strenuous efforts to subdue these in
vaders. Land that should produce 60
bushels of corn may yield no more
than 20 bushels il weeds are not kept
down by adequate cultivation, and the
net profit to the farmer is relatively
much less for the resulting poor crop
than these figures on yield show.
Another loss results from the pres
ence of weed seeds In crop seeds.
This necessltates much labor in sep
arating or results in dockage by deal
ers If the separation is not made.

no sale at all for such wheat. The
agricultural experiment station of
Minnesota estimates that in that state
alone the damage to wheat due to weed
seeds amounts to two and a half mill
lion dollars yearly.
There are other causes of damage
resulting from weeds, which in some
cases are important. The harvesting
and curing Of crops are sometimes
made difficulty by the presence of
weeds. Russian thistle, bindweed,
and Canada thistle usually are source
Of great annoyance at harvest time TO
the growers Of small grains. Again,
some weeds harbor fungi and insects
which attack nearby crops; the club
root of cabbage is fostered on the
wlld-mustard tribe of weeds, and the
Colorado potato beetle lives also on
nightshade and henbane. Furthermore,
some weeds are poisonous or otherwise
injurious to man, live stock, or live
stock products. Poison ivy, sumac.
jimson weed, and the seeds of corn
cookie are poisonous to man; wild
onion and bittsr-weed spoil dairy prod
ucts; cowbane, water parsnip and loco
weed are poisonous to stock; and the
barbed seeds Of squlrreltail grass and
procupine grass penetrate the noses
and mouths of live stock, causing pain
full sores.
II is difficult to estimate the damage
Of weeds, but 1t Is probable that they
cost the American farmer several hum
bred million dollars every year.

prepared by the United States Depart.

The full reason why weeds reduce
yields is not definitely known. 1t is
well recognized that weeds deprive
crops of moisture, plant food, and sun
light and by these means cause de-
creased yields. Experiments have
shown, however, that even where
there is supply of moisture and plant
food sufficient for the needs of both
the weeds and the crop, weeds still ex-

In general, the orchard should be

soil thoroughly light and loose, or, In

four inches. If e crust forms on the
