Recent reports frem. the West Vir-

any prejudice against book farming
which exists is fast losing ground in
that state where last year 50 farmers

limits of their range. if grown where
there is partial shade. This some
times can be provided by planting
them between fruit trees Raspber-
rieS and blackberries are sometimes
planted between trees, but the prac-
tice is not advisable unless the soil is
naturally moist and fertile. Vege-
tables, as well as strawberries. also
may be grown between the rows il the
trees are small and do not shade the
ground very much.
Locating the Orchard.
The land on which the fruits are
planted, other things being equal,
should be convenient TO the house. 1t
should be well drained, since fruit
| trees will not thrive on poorly drained
soil. The air drainage also must be
good. and for this reason low levels
where cold air settles should be
avoided. Most fruits can be grown on
a great variety of soils, but where pos
sible it is better to avoid light, sandy
soils and heavy clays.

system is essential. A tree or bush,
as n rule, should have several main
roots and many smaller ones when re-

usually preferable TO a very large OF

contribute substantially to the health
and pleasure of the family besides
furnishing a supply of valuable food
products ut a relatively small outlay

States department of agriculture say.
In many localities ii is difficult TO pur-
chase suitable fruit, and this IS an
added reason for its home production
wherever possible.
The ideal fruit or home orchard
should contain several varieties Of
different kinds of fruit, each kind
represented in many cases by a CON
siderable number Of varieties ripening
one after another over a long period.
