FRUITS FOR HOME ORCHARDS
Little Expense and Time Required for
Providing Various Delicacies for
Table Use.

An excellent way to become more IN.
dependent and prosperous is to start a
home orchard so there will soon be
plenty of fruits for the family to use
In the various ways for convenience
and for economy In living. Surely the
little expense and time required to
start home orchard could not be used
to better account these days of stress.
The first essential will be to break
the land, If 1t has not already been
turned, as soon as the site for the or
chard has been chosen. Deep, we'll
drained land with at least fair fertility
is best. If this land is available near
the home it is all the better, for the
home orchard ought to be handy so
fresh fruits may be gathered and
brought In when wanted. The land
should be we'll broken and put in eX-
cellent condition before the trees are
to be transplanted
Berries are essential for the home
orchard. They bear before other ordi-
nary fruits such as peaches, apples,
plums and pears. 1t requires a small
area Of land to produce an abundance
Of berries, but every farmer should
plant literally enough for the needs Of
his own family.
OF the berries, none are better, none
surer than Strawberries. Two or three
varieties of Strawberries will be good
way to extend the season for this lus-
eiOus fruit. Mitchell, Klondyke, Aroma.
Norwood, Senator Dunlap are worthy
Of places In the berry patch.
Set the strawberry plants In rows
about three and one-balf or four feet
apart. Cultivate very carefully, keep
Ing weeds down and a mulch on the
surface during the summer. or until
the plants spread so cultivation Is no
longer possible.
Dewberries are treated somewhat
like strawberries. The rows are, how
ever. q little wider to permit cultiva-
tion till the vines extend over the mid
dies.
Blackberrics may be set In rows
about six feet apart when transplanted
The Owosso times., 1922-04-21
for the home berry patch. Plants may
be four feet apart IN the row.

for the home berry patch. Plants may
be four feet apart In the row.
Peaches will respond to good prep
aration and good care afterwards. Sew
eral varieties will be desirable to AZ
ford fruit, early, mid-seas0n and late.
OF the early apples, Red June, Yel-
low Transparent, Sweet Bough, Maiden
Blush, Red Astrachan are suitable.
Later varieties or early fall sorts: JON
athan, Grimes, Delicious, Ben Davis.
Late: Mammoth Black Twig, Winesap,
Stamen. There are many others.
Varieties Of plums recommended by
Prof. J. r. Cooper, Arkansas College of
Agriculture. are: Wild Goose, ShrOp-
shire. Damson, Red June, Burbank,
Abundance, Arkansas. The following
raspberries: Red, King or Cuthbert,
Kittating or Snyder; black, Black
Pearl, st. Regis are favored.
The orchard land may be prepared,
then the trees set any time during late
winter when the season is favorable or
in spring before the buds swell-usual-
ly, the earlier the better, to give the
roots chance to start the hair-like
roots to nourish the trees and build up
tissues In growth.

GOOD FEEDS FOR FATTENING
Cane and Beet Molasses Tested at
Iowa Experiment Station in
Feeding Steers.

Cane and beet molasses are good
feeds for fattenlng steers. The only
question, in some cases, is whether 1t
is economical to feed 1t In competition
with. cheap corn. Tests at Iowa ex-
pertinent station, with two-year-old
steers, showed loss on every ration
tried, but there was a smaller loss
when cane and beet molasses were
omitted from the ration In one set of
feeding tests. Tests year ago last
winter brought this bit Of advice: "Go
slowly In purchasing either cane or
beet molasses IL the price IL higher
than corn, pounds for pound" II
feeder wants to use a pound or so a
day per steer for an appetizer he can
afford to pay more for It.

NO ECONOMY IN SMALL TREES
Young Plants Have Had Little Time
to Show Their Qualities and
7; Cannot Be CuIled.

1t Is poor economy to buy very
small trees. Two-year-olds are best.
though an experienced man, with care
full attention, can get just about as
good results with good one-year-olds,
but 1t takes an expert. One thing is
that the younger trees have had less
time to show their characteristics, and
can not be culled as closely as the
older ones.
