SETTING OUT YOUNG ORCHARD First Consideration Is Thorough Preparation of Soil—Plow Deep, Harrow and Drag. In setting a young orchard the first consideration is the preparation of the soil. The ground should be plowed deep, harrowed and dragged thoroughly ; in fact the soli should receive the mime thorough and careful preparation ns for truck. There are two methods generally used in laying out orchards —the method of planting In squares, which ts the one so generally used in the past, and thu triangular method, more recently adopted. By the former method the trees are planted at the four corners of a square, which makes them come opposite each other In rows. By the triangular method, the tr«>s are planted on the three corners of an equalsided triangle, nnd are so placed that Uh- trees of alternate rows come opposite the open spaces of the adjoining rows. Os tlie two methods, the bitter seems preferable, as by this method a greater number of trees cun he planted to the Here, and cultivation is permitted in three directions, instead of two, as in the former method. In setting the trees, large holes should be dug, or dynamited, in order that the roots will not be cramped or bent. Any bruised or broken roots should be removed. The tree should be set to the -a me depth as when in the nursery row, and soil should be packed firmly about the roots by treading it down with the foot, except the last several inches, which should be fine, loose soil. Tlie tree should be pruned before setting. Tlie roots are usually cut back in digging from the nursery row, and the tops should be pruned tn balance the roots. Trees should be set only when the soil is in good working condition, hut they may be planted when the ground is dry, by pouring ‘two or three gallons of water In the hole where the tree is set when It is about two-thirds filled, allowing it to disappear before you finish filling the hole. To promote a good growth, and < ai-otirage root development, the young orchard should be thoroughly cultivated the first several years after planting. If the soil is very fertile emit crops as potatoes or beans are sometimes planted between the rows,

I A /// i w i \ Wi |' i r 'i ' T I -J 1 ’ Young Trees Ready for Planting Pruned In Different Ways. but if the soil is lacking in fertility this plan is not to be recommended In the latter event, cowpeas can be drilled In rows and cultivated between the orchard rows, and this crop will help restore fertility to the soil. A crop of cowpens plowed under occasionally will help build fertility and keep the soil well stocked with humus. When the orchard conies into bearing, barnyard manure should be scattered about the trees occasionally, using care to keep It away from the trunk out whore the feeding roots can more easily get at the fertility. EFFICIENT SPRAY FOR FRUIT First Consideration Is to Apply at Right Time and Use Proper Materials Thoroughly, Good fruit can no longer be raised without sufficient spraying, whl-h consists of spraying (1) at the right time, (2) using the proper spray materials, (3) applying the spray thoroughly. To apply the spray thoroughly requires a pump. It is hest to secure a barrel puinp, as work can be done much better. KILLING PEACH TREE BORERS Paradichlorbenzine Method Gradually Replacing Old Laborious Worjn- • ing Method. The paradlchlorbenzine method of gening rid of peaih tree borers Is gradually replacing the old laborious method of worming the trees, digging and gouging out the borers with a wire. I’ench growers in various sections of the country are successfully using the gas treatment worked out by the government.
