SETTING THE FRUIT TREE
Fruit trees sometimes live' and
thrive under very careless handwork
ill setting, but these cases are except
ions and due to unusually favorable
seasons, or soil conditions, and they
are not to serve as guides to practice.
The only reccanmiendable procedure
is one of care-taking at every stage of
the work.
There is much difference of opinion
as to when to set fruit trees—fall or
spring planting. I suggest that fall
planting is preferable to spring plant
ing. The advantages of fall planting
are several. The trees become estab
lished in the open weather of, fall,
and they usually make a start in the
spring before the ground is dry
enough to allow spring planting. This
month and January are ideal months
to get the home orchard set. This
early start means not only a better
growth the first season, but what is
more ' nportant, trees that get a very
early told, too, withstand the droughts
of midsummer much better than trees
planted in the spring. Again, it is
commonly better to buy trees in the
fall, when the stock is full and when
the best trees are yet unsold.
Distance apart to set: Fruit plants
are oftener set too close together than
too far apart; in fact the better error
scarcely exists. - Trees, especially, are
wide feeders and the best results are
secured when each tree stands far
enough from its neighbors to allow
it to possess an individuality all of its
own. This distance will also aid the
easiness of cultivation and spraying.
Apples should be plantel 30 feet by
30 feet, pears same# plum, cherry, fig
and peaches 20 feet by 20 feet, peach
60 feet by 60 feet, grapes (bunch) 8
feet by 10 feet, and muscadihe 15 feet
by 20 feet. These are safe distances
to use.
How to plant: Plow the land and fit
it well. As all orchards should be put
into tilled crops for at least the first
two years after planting. In all ordi
nary lands holes are dug by hand for
the fruit trees. Plowing out a deep
furrow in the line of the rows may
lessen the digging and aid in getting
the trees in line.
‘ The hole should be broad and ample,
and the harder the soil the larger the
hole to be, for in that case the loose
dirt that is filled in must give the
trees a start.
Chop or dig up the earth in the
bottom of the hole, onthrow in a few
shovelfuls of loose surface earth. No
hardpan should-be left immediately
under the tree.
Trees should be set about two inches
deeper than they stood in the nursery,
for the loose earth will "settle and
wash away in the course of the sea
son. Leave a slight sunken place
around the tree when' set to hold
water.
Every care must be exercised to get
the soil thoroughly firmed in about
the roots—which are straightened out
in approximately their natural posi
tion, and especially ilnder the crown
or fork of the roots,, in order that no
air spaces may be left to dry out.
This dirt can best he placed by fihger-
ing it in, moving the tree gently up

PRUNING, OR TRIMMING THE
NEWLY SET TREES
There is much difference of opin
ion as to the best way of trimming
trees when they are planted. There
are two general methods of trimming
Doan’s are a stimulant diuretic to the
Jcidneys. Doan’s have helped thous
ands. They should help you. Here is
one of many Clinton cases:
* Mrs. Nannie E. Finney, 66 Florida
St., says: “There was a constant, bear
the tops of young trees at planting ,„^ ow „ ath ; acr0 , s my back and I
time. One method, cut back all the
branches to spurs of one to three buds,

or sometimes the side branches may
be cut entirely awaf, leaving only
the buds on the main stem or trunk.
The tree, therefore, “feathers out” the
first season; that is, it makes many
small shoots along the main trunk.
The following autumn or spring, the
top is started at the desired height.
The second method aims to start
the top at the required height when
the tree^s planted. It is adapted only
to strong and well-grown stocks tha>*
have a more or less branching and
forking top. From three , to five of
the best branches are left, and these
are headed to a few buds each.
It is, of course, evident that there
is no one method of pruning young
trees that is all wrong, nor any other
that is all right. The method must
always be modified by the age and
shape of the tree. In general, it may
be said that life younger the stock
the more nearly to a whip it may be
pruned. N
The trees may be trimmed before
they are planted, although it is usual
ly better to trim just after they are
set, because the operation is more
easily done, and there is no further
danger of breaking pff the limbs by
the handling of the tree. Also there
is a better chanee to know the dis
tance from the ground to cut. One
foot is placed firmly at the base of the
tree* and then with one hand the
branch
and with
applied to the under side and the cut
w made neatly and easily. N^ver cut
downwards on a limb, for a ragged
wound nearly always follows. •
In shaping or starting the future
top, care should be taken
crotches or the joining

split later on, with ice or fruit. The
framework brapehes shpold Alternate
