On almost •vary farm of the state there are a few trees, producing a small (juamity of fruit. In most cases all the fru.t ripens at once and is soon gone, giving a supply for only a short time and leav ing none to put away for winter use. So southenn state is better adapted than South Carolina to producing fruit for home use. yet millions of dollar- leave the state every year for canned fruit. Preparing Soil. At this season of the year (Septem ber 1 to October. 13» orchards an* usm* ally neglected. Farmers seem to think that there is nothing to be* done then that will be of any material heip. Nev ertheless. now is the time to begin.to prepare soil for the trees that are set' out this fall and winter. Select rh<* orchard site, break the soil as deeply as possible and harrow thoroughly. This work will greatly reduce the la ter libor or setting the orchard. Choosing Varieties. What varieties are you going to plant? This is a fcoint of great im portance. Be sure ^o make selections that will provide fruit throughout an entire season. If you are not familiar with the. varieties that are adapted to yonr particular section, write to the Extension Division, Clem son Collegf. for Bulletin Xo. 13. -In this will be found lists of varieties suitable for the varions sections of .the state. Buying Trees: Where are you going to get your trees and what are you going to pay for them? If yod are not in touch with a reliable nursery and if you are not familiar with the prices of trees, the Extension Division of Clemson Col lege will he glad to help you in this ■utter. Beware of the tree agent. The nurseries th**y represent may be all right, but you are not always sure of what you an? getting and in most cases you are paying the agent's salary and the expense of delivering the trees.- If you are thinking of setting out an or chard thl* fall, let us help you. Improving the Orchard. If you already have an orchard, why not be.ain to improve It now? A cover crop sown now and turned nex; spring will :,e!p wonderfully. Twenty pounds of enmson clover seed per acre, sown and disced, will make a good cover, provided the «eed are inoculated. Three pecks of rye and 20 pounds of haTv vetch to the acre will also lliake a good cover for the orchard. If these are turned next spring at the first cub tivation they will add a lot of fertility to the soil will also help to hold mois ture. There are a good many mummy fruits hanging to the trees. Thetfe are full of spores and if left in the or chard will cause more rotten fruit another year. Now is a good time to get these out of the way. Pull and burn them. Borers may have been giving you’ trouble. You wer6 advised to paint and mound the trees early in summer. The mounds should be pulled down on October 15 and the trees examined for borers. The young borers are Just entering the trees the middle of Octo ber and will be found going in just above the level of the hill of dirt you pull down. If you find any of them, scrape the bark off with a knife and the little borers will be destroyed. The work at this season consists largely In cleaning up and preparing for winter and spring. If done prop* rely, the treeq receive much benefit. C. V. NIVEN. Assistant in Horticulture, Clemson Agricultural College.
