Studies Soil
In the matter Of fcrtilizing, Mr.
Toland believes that every plot OF
soil should be studied TO determine
whether 1t lacks anything and what
il is. Although willing to tell what
his own experience has been he
warned that other soils might re-
quire other methods. He advises a
consultation with the county agent
or some other expert.
His own plan has been 10 apply
5-l5-5 commercial fertilizer in
January and 70 add a shot Of
super-phosphate In April TO in
creaSe size OF the fruit.
Closely related to fertiilzing Is
the matter OF humus and cultiva-
ton, he says. Last year Mr.. Toland
had a good crop of Australian win
ter peas which are easily soluble"
in the soil. They carry four per
cent nitrogen.
"A test was conducted with ten
acres OF cowpeaS, ten acres OF
sesbania and ten acres Of yellow
blooming sweet clover to determine
which was able to stand the
drought nor easily. He found that
cowpeas required less water. IL is
advantageous to have a cover crop
which does not require watering
when the trees do not need irri-
eating, he said. One Of the dis
advantages OF cowpeaS was, how
ever, that the vines grew around
the trees and spread out too much.
Weeds and cover crops should
be turned under at the proper time.
Mr.. Toland mid. They should not
be permitted TO become too harden
ed before they are disced under.
Watches Pests
Pest control is one OF the most
important things TO consider when
II is intended 70 produce fruit Of
fine appearance. the grower as
serted. He has a spring rust mite
which shows up in his orchards in
May and he makes about two ap-
plications OF sulphur. The first
gets the scale and the second gets
the eggs. The applications are
made about Is days apart. or about
May / and rs. Il have not had any
rusty fruit vet" he asserted.
From about June 25 10 Sept. IS
one can put on oil emulsions for
red or purple scale. he said. An
application OF water should be
made before the trees are sprayed
and other irrigation should follow
the spraying II trees appear TO suf-
fer from the emulsion.
The only blemishes to be found
on Blue Ribbon fruit r a scab.
Mr.. Toland has not established TO
his own satisfaction whether II Is
caused BY winds blowing the fruit
against the limbs or by an insect.
He will treat for Scab next jan
uary TO see what the results are.
Increases Space
Mr.. Toland expects to make one
very radical change within a few
years. Most or the trees In his
orchards are planted only "a feet
apart. He plans to take out every
other row, dRgonally. leaving the
trees 33 feet apart. This will make
the spacing approximately 80 feet
but will leave plenty OF room for
the trees TO grow and for cultiyat-
ing. Trees planted too close to-
gether causes interlocking OF
branches with consequent stoppage
OF growth and difficulty OF cultiva-
ton and care. All future paintings
under his supervision or direction
will be 30x30 feet, he says.
These are just some OF my eX-
periences: I am learning all or the
time and profit'ng from my mis-
takes he said IN conclusion.
