GET BEHIND THE
ORCHARD MOVEMENT
Spray, Worm, Cultivate and
Piant-Ask Your County Agent
About "Orchard Week"

When planning the orchard, there
is one thing that farmers should
bear in mind. The orchard requires
attention and must receive such,
else all trees and vines put out will
soon go like thousands of others
have done in the State, and all the
farmer gets for his labor and money
put into the trees is case Of dis
appointment. We urge you to give
the trees a fair trial and see the re-
suits. The methods of caring for an
orchard are indeed simple and mex
pensive and any farmer in the State
who is not thoroughly familiar with
the methods, will get in touch with
the county agent or drop him a
card and asking for the information
this will be gladly given. The prof
it's will greatly exceed the expense.
The work to be done this fall and
winter can be summed up briefly as
follows:
/. Select the site for the orchard,
which should be on an elevated Sec
ton, not high hill, but simply, as
the farmer would speak of it a little
knoll. This gives good air drainage
and also lessons the danger of frost.
2. Prepare the soil thoroughly be-
fore setting the trees. Break deep,
following with a cutaway in order
to get the soil as fine as possible. 1t
is better to do this from two to four
weeks before the trees are set out.
8. When setting the trees, if soil
is not in a good state of fertility, it
will be we'll to haul in a little woods
earth to place about the roots. If
this cannot be secured, get a little
barnyard manure and thoroughly in
corporate with the soil that is place
around the roots. This will enable
trees to grow faster the following
spring.
4. Be sure to dig the holes in
which trees are placed deep enough
to allow trees to be about two
inches deeper in the soil than they
were in the nursery row and wide
enough to allow all roots to spread
out full length.
5. Be sure to trim off all roots
that were injured while removing

MAIL. CLERK SHOT IN
AN ATTEMPTED ROBBERY

Wichita, Kas., Dec, 16.@. j.
De Almond, said to be a railway
mail clerk with run out Of Kansas
City, No., was in a hospital here
tonight suffering from gunshot
wounds inflicted by federal officers
at the Union passenger station this
evening. According to W. E. ALI
mon, local postoffice Inspector, the
shooting took place while De Ar
mond was attempting to steal a
package of registered mail, which
officials said, was valued at $4,000.
The officials had been warned that
an attempted robbery would take
place and had hidden themselves
where they could watch the pack
age which was on a truck.
Late tonight the authorities ar
rested Mrs. De Almond and a man
who gave his name as Will Hewes

from the nursery row. Cut them off
lust back of the bruise, leaving a
smooth cut. This enables them to
heal quicker and also lessons the
danger of diseases. Also trim off all
small branches and in case of
peaches, cut them off from Is to
Is inches above the ground, apples
should be cut off about two feet
above the ground.
6. Give the trees the proper dis
tance. The following distances do
we'll for the home orchard: Peaches
20 feet each way; apples 80 feet
each way; pears same as apples;
plums and cherries 20 feet each
way; blackberries and dewberries
make rows 5 feet wide and set three
feet in drill; dewberries are often
plantd AKA and grapes 8x8.
7. The following varieties are re-
commended for the home orchard.
Apples: Red June, Horse, Early
Harvest, Staymen, Winesap, Shock
ley, Ben Davis and Mrs. Bryan.
Pears: Keiffer, LeConte, RaTtlette,
and Seckel. Plums: Wild Goose,
Climax and Abundance. Cherries

Carmen, Elberta, Old Nixon, Free,
Crowther's Late. Blackberries: Ear

Dewberries: Lucretia. Grapes

ware, Niagara, Concord, Brighton.
The outline given above is all
that is necessary to get the orchard
started. Let's have an orchard on
every farm, raise our fruit as well
as other things to eat at home.
Work on the old orchard should
begin at once, and should consist of
thorough and careful spraying,
pruning, worming and cultivating.
Why these operations?
1. Pruning.-Preserves the life,
health and vigor of the tree by re-
moving dead, diseased and interfer.

branches and Encourages new wood
growth in support of the next crop
of fruit.
2. Spraying.-Safe guards and
prolongs the life of the tree by re-
pelling insect and disease attacks,
and decreases the percent of decay
ed and wormy fruit. However, it
must be clearly understood that
different pests require different
sprays and that the winter applica
ton of spray is mainly for preserv-
ing the life of the tree.
8. Worming.-''No legs no horse,
no root no tree" Therefore the
