Time To Clean Up Orchards
This is the season of the year to
prune and clean up the orchard. The
orchard should be pruned and given
a thorough cleaning up during the
winter months, so it will be in the
best of condition to produce fruit for
the family and for th<?' market next
season. Every orchard should bo
pruned ahd sprayed whether it be a
young one or an old one. Young orchards
need pruning to get the trees
shaped right and ?old orchards need
pruning to keep the trees shaped
right to remove dead and diseased
wood. Both young and old orchards
need to be sprayed to keep diseases
from gaining a loot-hold and to eradicate
diseases if they ait? already in
the orchard.
If you are interested in taking
care of your home orchard or commercial
orchard and desire further
information write for or come by the
office and get Extension bulletin No.
NO. This contains some valuable information
about how to plant the'
different trees and vines; what distances
to plant them; how to prune
thean; and when to spray, and what
to spray with. It is yours for the
asking, says J. T. Beason, assistant
county agent.
Ohairman Legge of the Farm relief
board, opposes the Capper bill under
which 50,000,000 bushels of wheat
would be distributed to the unemployed.
Legge opposes the measure
on the ground that such free distribution
might adversely affect the
price of wheat.
