You Can Grow Fruit
In Your Own Backyard

years ago.. 50 I cannot speak
from my own experience with
them.
Trees may be planted in the
spring or fall. They must be
dormant at time Of planting
However. nursery will not ship
them unless they are dormant.
so you need not concern your
self with that. Fall planting is
usually done in this area in No
Ivember; spring planting, in
February or March. There are
a number Of reliable nurseries.
Planting directions are fur
Inished by the nursery. The young
tree must be pruned after plant
ing and yearly thereafter. The
Agriculture Department has a
booklet on pruning fruit trees
that will tell you how to 60
about this rather complicated
but absolutely necessary busi-
ness.
Maintain clean cultivation
around the young tree, starting
with a radius of about two feet
and widening the circle to per-
haps four feet (radius) during
the following year or two. Grass
or weeds around the tree Will
absorb water and plant food
needed by the tree and will en-
courage field and pine mice to
make their homes under the
tree and during the winter live
OF the trees roots. In a year or
two there will not be enough
roots left to support the tree
and you will have no peach tree.
Fertilization Needed
The trees should be fertilized
at least once a year, preferably
around the first Of March. Nit
rate Of soda is commonly used.
If the soil is low in phosphate
and potash. a complete fertilizer
like 1864 is desirable but it
costs more for the amount Of
nitrate than nitrate of soda.

task which requires the greatest

pose for me to emphasize the
Importance Of this point. since
almost everyone has to learn this
lesson the hard way-by NOT
thinning and thereby harvesting
IA crop Of small and almost
worthless fruit.
Rule For Thinning
But for the benefit Of that
fortitudinous soul who can re-
sist the urge not to thin, this
is a good general rule: Thin to
about every six inches. It is
especially important not to leave
two peaches so close to each other
they touch, as 1t is then impos-
sible to completely cover the fruit
with spray and any spot not COW
cred is subject to. brown rot.
I know from experience how
difficult it is to thin properly.
There is always the temptation
and the tendency to narrow the
gap between the fruit in the
hope that Nature will, somehow,
adjust itself to the situation.
But I have had a dramatic DEM
onstration this year Of the value
Of proper thinning.
A freeze late in May killed
most of the fruit at the farm.
For the small crop that escaped
I sprayed as thoroughly as If I
had a full crop. The result: the
largest. finest favored peaches
I have ever grown.
My trees at my home were not
injured by the freeze, since the
temperature is at least five
degrees warmer: and knowing
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-22

but without which good peaches
cannot be grown-organic farm
ing to the contrary. I refer to
spraying. 1t takes at least 10
sprayings to bring in a healthy,
worm-free peach.
1 sprayed mine a dozen or
more times this year-and not
all Of the fruit was perfect. My
friend George Hemsley. who APP
Ierates his fathers orchard (the
Nigh orchard) told me he
sprayed his trees 20 times this
year.
Both the fungicides and the
insecticides are more effective
today than they we're when I
planted my first trees. Sulfur
and arsenate Of lead were then
the chief weapons for fighting
brown rot and insects. A mate
rial called parathion is the in
,secticide of choice in most COM
mercial orchards today. However,
Iit is so very poisonous and re-
quires such great care in mixing
lit and applying it. that I don't
use it. The result is that some
of my peaches are stung by the
plum curculio (chief pest of
peaches) and I merely accept
that as part Of the price pay
for playing 1t relatively safe with
less effective but less toxic ma
terials. The average home
orchardist can buy an all-pur-
pose spray which will do ade-
quately. 1t should contain sui
fur and captain as fungicides
and methoxychlor and DOT as,
insecticides.
Several weeks after the bios
som petals have fallen comes a
task that is as necessary as it is
tedious. 1t is called thinning,
and it means removing from the
tree most Of the small fruit which
Mother Nature, in her usual
bounty, placed there.
1t probably will serve no pur-

commercial growers would
rather grow them because they
handle better. The white peach

a flavor all its own. and those

The yellow varieties fall gen.
orally into two groups-those
developed from the liberia and
those developed from the Hale.
In my opinion, the Hale vari-
cites are so far superior to the
Elberta that the home orchard
ist would do well to pass up the
later. The Elberta peach-and

peach but its paintings are

Small Business In
Depression Too

Small businesses are being squeezed
much like the farmers are in the
present period of "big business pros
perity."

business failures in March, 1856 were
the highest for any month since
March, 1941. This March 1, ITO bust
ness enterprises bit the dust through
bankruptcy, up 1870 above year
ago.
But "business failures" do not tell
the full story of distress for these
family-sized enterprises in town, any
more than foreclosures tell the full
story Of economic distress on the
farm. Many small businesses quit
without ever showing up on the list
as business failures, because they
simply give up and sell out to a big
competitor. Many others fold up
quietly, before being showed all the

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NFU)-
The farm depression has infected the
important farm machinery industry
which, along with the auto industry,
is suffering severe unemployment
and sales crisis in the widely-heralded
"prosperity" of 1856.
United Auto Workers President
Reuther has called for managers of
the two industries to sit down with
the Union and mayors of cities most
seriously afflicted with unemploy-
ment to plan emergency remedies.
The New York TIMES completed
a survey recently which reveals that
the economy's area of depression in

TIMES reported these highlights:
"Sales of new cars are tagging

WARNS OF RACKET
In HOME REPAIRS

A nationally-syndicated columnist,
Sylvia F. Porter, has issued sharp
warning to Americans to beware of
a "home improvements racket" that
is spreading across the u. S.
She said racketeers and swindlers
are now expanding their operations
to threaten not only "gullible home
owners but also "the vast maj jority
of honest and fair contractors" They
are trying to capitalize on legitimate
fix-up campaign, cooperation Home
Improvement" which is backed by
the government, industry and labor,
Miss Porter pointed out.
She cited some examples: In New
Orleans, homeowners are bilked of
81 million annually; in Southern Cal
ifornia, $40 million each year. Better
Business Bureaus estimate the racket
nets $500 million year throughout
the u. S.
The columnist offered these tips to
protect homeowners: Know your con-
tractor, get several estimates on re-
pairs, read the fine print in a con-
tract, know the exact financing
terms, and steer clear of the "high
pressure" artists and fake deals to
use your remodeled home as a "dis-
play house."

Part-Time Farmers Rush
To Home Loan Co-ops

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Part-time farmers in "A states have
already started borrowing from local
farm loan co-ops, Thomas A. Max
well, deputy Farm Credit Admins
tration governor, said here, May 7.
Last year Congress changed the
law so these people could use national
farm loan associations. The first three
months this year, the co-ops made
1858 loans, totaling STA million, TO
part time farmers. These people have
equal voice with older members in
directing the co-ops' affairs.
