PLAN OUTLINED FOR
PLANTING ORCHARDS
Soil Where Trees Are to Be Plant
ed Should Be Prepared.
Important to Take Precautions to Pre-
vent Roots Of Trees From Becom-
ing Dry-Where Planting Is
Delayed "Heel In"

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
If the prospective orchardist pre-
pares the soil where his trees are to
stand as thoroughly as he does his
garden before planting vegetables. the
growth of his trees will amply repay
him. If the orchard site is in sod, 1t
is advisable to cultivate it during one
season. at least, after the sod is plOwed
under, in order that the grass roots
may decay before the fruit trees are
planted. If the trees are to be planted
I'm yard where the owner desires TO
retain his lawn, the soil over an area
of several feet where the tree is to
stand should be spaded thoroughly.
This plan, however is a compromise
between lawn and fruit garden,
and the results are not likely to be so
satisfactory as where the ground is
thoroughly cultivated.
Every possible precaution should he
taken from the time the trees and 9TH
er plants are taken from the nursery
until they are planted to prevent the
roots from becoming dry. If the plants
are to be set at once on being received,
the roots may be covered with wet
gunny sacks, an old blanket. or some
other material that has been thorough
ly moistened, until they are ready to
be put into the ground.
IL 1t is necessary to delay planting
for considerable time, the trees
should be "heeled In" This Is done
by untying the bundle Of plants, loosen
ing and separating the roots and plac-
ing the plants In a trench and packing
the soil about the roots to prevent
drying.
The trees should stand an inch or
two deeper when planted than they
stood In the nursery. and the holes
should be broad enough to receive the
roots without bending them from their
natural positions. This applies also to
raspberry, blackberry, currant, and
other small fruit plants with the excep-
tion OF strawberries. The last named
should be llanted at such depth that
the crown of the plant Is even with the
surface. " they are planted deeper
than this they are likely to smother,
while II plarted more shallow the roots
are likely to dry out.
The broken ends Of roots should be
cut Off end any long. slender roots
should be shortened to correspond to
the main root system. Small-fruit
plants should he treated In about the
anne wy, though In actual practice
The Clio messenger., 1919-04-10

little attention is given TO trimming
the roots before the plants are set out.
In filling the holes after the trees
are placed in position care should be
taken to work finely pulverzed fertile
soil among the roots. This can he
done with the fingers better than in
almost any other way. After q few
shovelfuls of soil have been placed
about the roots, it helps If the tree Is
slightly raised and lowered once or
twice. This will tend to work the fine
soil in among the roots. As the filling
about the roots with the foot or by
some other effective method. OF all
the operations connected with planting,
the 6rming of the soil about the roots
Is perhaps the most important, and 1t
should be done with great thorough
ness. Finally, the holes should he fill
ed even with the surface.
In connection with the planting or
Immediately following IT, the branches
Of fruit trees should be cut back with
a view to giving desirable form to
the top as it develops.
In planting raspberries, blackber-
ries, currants. and gOoseberries, the
tops should be cut back to height OF
about inches. IF currants and goose
berries have particularly strong root
systems. the tops are sometimes left
10 to - inches high.

MEN OF SCIENCE PUZZLED
Find II Hard to Account for the
Erratic Movements of Deep
Water Fish.

The erratic movements of fish are a
constant source Of worry To scientists,
who, try as they will. can never ac-
count for the vagaries of these sea-
dwellers. Here is case in point: In
May, 1879, the fishing schooner Hutch.
ings, sailing from Gloucester, Mass.
was under the command of Captain
Kirby, trawling for cod off Nantucket.
A strange fish came up in the nets, a
large creature covered with yellow
spots. The men caught over two tons
and brought them to land. where they
were found to be an entirely new fam
lily. Scientists named them "tile fish"
For three years. till 1882. the fish were
caught in large numbers. then the
bankers" reported that they were no
longer to he seen. The news came that
the sea was covered with dead tile fish.
Six thousand square mile of sea were
almost hidden by the dead bodies. Au-
thOrtes said that there must have
been volcanic disturbance or else
some deadly disease had killed off the
fish. In 1915 schooner working i'm
the same waters caught the tile fish in
abundance. and to this day the fish are
there in millions.

THIS LIFE MERE PATCHWORK
Pleasant to Think That in the Ry-and-
BY All Things Will Have
Full Completion.

Life at best seems only patchwork.
BY the time the artist learns to paint
a picture which is considered worth
while. his hand has become shaky.
nervous or palsled and he cannot paint
the thing in his heart for which. all
his life, he had been preparing. By
the time abe business man has earned
enough money TO keep him in comfort
for the rest of his days he has often
lost his capacity to enjoy the fruits Of
his labor. When the mother has raised
her boy TO manhood her offspring
leaves her for the sake of someone
he loves better, and by the time the
man learns to really appreciate his
mother she Is taken from him. Moth
ing seems ever quite finished, quite
mature, quite as Ii should be In this
world. Perhaps in the by-and-by on
another planet we shall all find that
every incomplete thought and work Of
our lives has been fitted into the
completed temple Of life which we may
then inhabit forever.-LOs Angeles
