OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Generally speaking, a peach orchard
should be titled throughout Its entire
life, beginning with the first season
after the trees are planted. If, for the
sake of economy or for other reasons,
1t 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 a 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 filed with small rootlets and
root hairs through which moisture and
plant food In solution are taken up.
Time for Tillaoe.
Under normal or standard conditions
in most peach-growing districts the adj
vice applies generally to begin the TIL
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
rop, it's character, and the needs Of
the soil with reference thereto are
other factors that may influence the
late of beginning of tillage.
If the soil is hard or if there is a
cover crop that has made considerable
zrowth, it will be necessary to turn

METHODS OF PRUNING GRAPE
important Work, Both as Regards
Quantity Of Fruit and Cost
of Production.

F'rom the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
In no fruit crop does pruning play
so important part. both as regards
the quantity of fruit borne and the
cost Of producing it, as with the
grape. In fact the manner of pruning
employed determines to very large
extent the cost of maintaining a vine
yard. Certain styles of pruning re-
quire large expenditure of money
In the construction of supports or
trellises and an equal outlay each sea-
son for tying both early In the sea-
r7on and during the summer Other
systems require less expensive trel-
Uses. and little or no expenditure of
time or money In spring and summer
tying. thus making very consider
able difference In the cost of produc-
Ing good quantity Of fruit and, since
grapes have, during the last decade,
become so cheap, the margin of profit
left to the grower over and above the
cost Of production Is very small, even
when the most economical systems of
training are employed.

harrow, cultivatOr, or such other till
age implement as best suits the needs
of individual orchards. If the soil is
light, blowing in the spring can some
times be omitted, as some type of cult
vator will be found adequate to pull
verize thoroughly the soil to sufficient
depth. The surface should be kept as
nearly level as possible. For instance,
if the soil is plowed toward the trees
at one time, 1t should be turned away
from them at later blowing.
Keep Soil Light.
In general, the orchard should be
gone over with some kind of a tillage
implement often enough to keep the
soil thoroughly light and loose, or. IN
other words. In the condition of dust
mulch, for depth of at least three or
four inches. If crust forms on the
surface. or if the dust mulch becomes
compact, evaporation of the moisture
that is in the soil will become excess
sively rapid and an unnecessary and
perhaps serious loss of moisture which
is needed by the trees will occur. AS
tillage is advisable, as a rule, after
each rainy period or after heavy show
ers; also as much more frequently as
the impaired condition of the dust
mulch may make necessary. In irri-
gated orchards tillage should generally
follow soon after each application Of
water.
End TiIIaee Operations.
Tillage operations are usually con-
tinued until midseason-the last Of
July or the first of August. BY that
time the growth of the trees for the
season will have been largely made,
fruit buds for the next seasonss crop
viii have begun to form, the fruit of
the midseaSon varieties will have COM
pieted large proportion of its growth.
and the later varieties will finish their
development during a period when less
moisture is required for the various
functions of the tree than earlier in
the season. Where cover crops or
green-manure crops are desired, they
should be sowed, In many cases, by this
time.
AS the trees become large, some Of
the extension types of tillage imple-
ments are advantageous, as they make
possible the working of the soil under
the branches without unduly crowding
the team into the trees.

Steel La Easy TO Cast.

The English have just invented a
high-speed steel which is so strong that
engines and guns and tools made Of it
can be worked more rapidly than those
made of any of the other steels. The
Popular Science Monthly magazine
says that tools OF this steel can be cast
into shape, and casting is the quickest
known way of making any tool.
There are few steels, however,
which. by casting them, do not be-
come brittle. "Cobaltcrom STEEL" as
1t is called, nevertheless can be made
