ORCHARD SHOULD BE CULTIVATED The dropping of fruit, both apple* and peaches, is largely due t»> lack ' of water during the season when the fruit is rapidly increasing tn size. An average peach tree, normally to mature Its crop, will require in the neighborhood of 3.000 gallons of water tn the growing season, according to J. R. Cooper, horticulturist, onllege of agriculture. University of Arkansas. “An apple tree will require txyice a* much water, because of its larger size. To maintain a constant supply of water throughout June and the first part of July, it Is necessary to hold the water that Is now in the soil, by constant and thorough cultivation. “Cultivation should continue up to the first of July and should be thorough enough to keep down all vegetation. It Is impossible to produce a norma) crop of fruit and support a crop of weeds or even a cover crop during May. June. July and August. The severe checking of growth, even though sufficient moisture is had later, means a partial loss of crop. It may also mean at least a partial loss of next year’s crop due to the formation of an insufficient number of fruit • buds. The orchard should liever he allowed to stand in the spring until It becomes too hard to plow." New Early Raspberry Is Developed in Minnesota Fruit growing stations operated hver the state in co-operation with the division of horticulture of the University of Minnesota are being supplied with a limited amount of stock of an early ripening seedling raspberry known as Miuu. No. 223. The new seedling is one of a large number originated at the state fruit breeding farm by university horticulturists from self-polli-nated stock of the Latham, which was developed several years ago at the farm from a cross of the King and Louden raspberries and which has become an outstanding berry in Minnesota and has pn»ved Its worth under tests in many eastern and Middle West states. The new variety, produces a good quality berry which ripens a week to ten days earlier that* the Latham and Is apparently les* susceptible to mosaic than even the Latham. As stock of the new herry accumulates, further distribution wilt be made in order to bring about » general test of merits. Different Methods of Training Raspberries There are various methods nt training raspberries Probably the best system for average,conditions is the narrow hedge system Under this plan, young plants are allowed to develop from tips or suckers, depending on the variety, along the rows between the plants originally set. About eight inches should be allowed between the plants retained, all others being removed Under this system all cultivating can be done with a onehorse cultivator or garden tractor. A hoe can often be used to advantage for destroying weeds between the plants and for removing . excessive plants A tndlis may or may no, be used with this system, as desired. Irrigation Will Help Yield of Strawberries Overhead Irrigation of stniwln-rries ! increased the yield of berries more than 3»»» per cent over the yield from ‘ unfrrlgated plants, accimling to resuits Just announced on tests made by ! A. S. Colby, associate chief of pornolm i gy in the experiment station of the college of agriculture. University of Illinois In addition to the heavier yield, the fruit from plants was larger and of finer quality. These results were obtained during the 1923 growing season wl»en conditions were abnormally dry for strawberries The application of necessary moisture through overhead Irrigation at the critical period in fruit growth thus saved the crop. Y Horticulture Notes $ Lime Is not relished by the strawberry and raspberry, which rather like an acid soil. • • • The demand for Mclntosh apples baa been better than for most other varieties this season. • • • The eurculln has been Causing considerable dama’geof late. A heavy lime spray Just after the petals fall in addition to the arsenate of lead will be found very helpful. • • • Start spraying the currant bushes as soon as the leaves unfold You > will go a long way towards keeping plant Hee out of the garden as the currants are their favorite nurseries la spring. • • • One of the fruit growers In Oregon bas fonuo that dead hens make an excellent fertilizer for young fruit trees. He keeps about 800 hens tn connection with bis orchard; and the loss of hens by death amounts to from 3 to 8 per cent ia different years. t• • • It makes It a lot easier to get the spraying done If the spraying machine to put into shape and everything is ready to go three or four weeks before tt Is necessary to put oo the first spray. • • • Plowing In the orchard Is not an uncommon practice. Soils with a hare pan condition are helped temporarily Shallow plowing Is often practiced in-
