They have a luxuriant growth and are very i- pleasing and symmetrical in form sat The hole of the average tree raised Ith from seeds planted 16 "ears ago Ir pes 12 Inches. The tr'ees a*'e hardy and in- require little attention. i-Some were pante on the poorest kind of sand land, and they have ty. grown splendidly by sending ta; os- roots deep down into the soil. They ish hare also reclaimed the soil by aid Lrk ing to put humns therein. Dr. Sum ~he mers has every year raised a croi of cotton or some other staple pro ed duct under and between these trees ws. He keeps the late M. limbs trimmed he lfrom the ground higher than a man's e." Ihead. The crops have aided rather than taken from the development of the trees. He tried to be judicious in the use of fertiliser. bot? manure to and artificial. so that the trees would be benefitted thereby and he also placed manure around the trees once of e ach year. He thinks It Inexcusable ed ]to let weeds grow.up Ia a fruit or tot nuut bearing orchard, for the weeds of Impoverish the soil and' commruni Ith cate parasites to the trees. ko.. While a tree will besi' -'rlier In )r. llife If the tap root Is dut. yet Dr. tir' Summers thinks that such treat to ment Is foolish. Nature provided nd that tap root for more thatn one pun a? pose, and while a temporary favors -e- ble result might be obtaifled by cut he ting the root and causing- the lateral its roots to grow more rapidly, yet the es ultimate sturdiness of' the tree ye will be Impaired and the knife will destroy the defences provided against storms. Some of Dr. Summers' trees have been bearing as long as ten years. .They begin to produce fruit when about seven or eight years old. On an average they are planted 40 feet , apart, although in richer soil the distance is 50 feet. His 340 trees therefore cover about ten acres. He estimates that each tree this m year produces at least one and one half bushels of nuts, which weigh 40 to 45 pounds to the bushel, and he readily gets In the open market 10 cents per pound. Each tree then D- produces about 60 pounds of nuts. s. which bring in 313 and the 345 trees 3. produce about $4.120 this year. .The first year of fruitl~4 thre trees -produced 6 to 12 nuts e'ach. Each. -succeeding year the proluction has *d Increased steadily. Whefn the trees al reach their prime of 50 years of age they will producc probably 25 ~'ishels to the tree. Some trees bave ueen known to produce 40 to 50 e bushels. :- The trees have never been attack s ed by blight. Dr. Sumzmers says the -only enemy be has ever discovered is the borer, a kind of beetle which s cuts Into the bark and will be easily y' destroyed by injecting a kerosene - emulsion Into the holes. This is a tedious process. but the. life of a valuable tree ma:y be saved or pro - longed. SThe propluquity of a fruit orchard has never caused annoyance to thA poca?n trees.
