ORCHARD WORK FOR EARLY FALL
Have you a fupply of fruit on your
farm? If not. why not begin now to
make arrangements for it? 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.
