Show PLANTING THE by moroni nheu address before the state horticultural society reported by the ole deseret iamer famer s stenographer what I 1 shall have to say to you this morning on the planting ot of the orchard will apply mainly to the th 0 apple orchard because that is tile the only cla class Qs of fruit with th which I 1 lia have e had any experience and not such re a great deal even with that I 1 have not prepa prepared reI any set speech and what I 1 shall say will I 1 bo be mostly what I 1 have learned from experience and sometimes costly e at that I 1 think that you will vill agree with ith I 1 me that upon the correct or incorrect ideas and methods that th it the prospective grower starts out with will depend his success or failure that up on the proper solution of tile the hiob lams cuts which relate to sol will depend his success the first question that will andol present itself to the griller gril grower or to the one that is contemplating starting out in that line a of f business will be the question have I 1 the proper location for the planting of an orchard I 1 tn n many sections he can determine that question by looking a round around him and ascertaining it if there are other tracts or or orchards charis around that have been a success at least in a measure if there hero are no orchards in the immediate vicinity he will have to make a nr much ch more careful examination ot of soil conditions I 1 do not know that the question of slope has much bearing upon our conditions here in utah we read a great deal about it tit in some sections of the country but I 1 do not think that it has much beading here in trying to determine the question of whether the planting of an apple orchard will be g profitable and successful undertaking or not the soil is one ot of the main points to be considered and the person parson who give that very careful elaml natio la 15 la ill memy cases 11 within my observation apt to make serious mistakes and be subject to considerable loss I 1 am located about a mile and three quarters north of 0 bear river city in dear bear river valley and near the bear river you will infer quicy quickly that 1 I have good n natural tur drainage this is one thing that the prospective planter must look well to the question of drainage drai nags whether the soil upon which he expects to plant has good drainage and it not whether drainage can be had if drainage cannot be had he be had better plant ese an orchard to do its best should rot not bs be planted upon ground that has a hardpan hard pan just a short distance below the surface surf acs the roots of the tree to go down ovin and if 1 this cau can ra net t le be dal done ia the ire tree i Is s api ape to be short lived so you see sec that in order to have the best success it is neches sary that your soil conditions are good the next thing is to handle your soil to the best advantage so that you can obtain the best results in planting from the very time we planted our orchard we have 1 ed deeply and then cultivated as doell deep ly as the tha con conditions ditlow of the tree or root growth would permit I 1 belleve believe that it is a fact that upon the proper depth of plowing and cultivation at the start depends in a great measure the character of the root growth as the fine fibrous roots will woric vork themselves down it Is a good thins thing to practice clean cultivation I 1 as thal thai 13 3 very essential in the planting or ol an apple orchard tile the question must also be decided as to the method of oc planting the distance etc there Is a varied opinion as to the distance the trees should be planted when we planted the first lot of trees we determined upon a distance of 0 that is twenty feet between the rows and twenty in the rows in the neighborhood of 0 IGO trees to the acre and at that time I 1 remember that the dis nothing will relieve indigestion that Is not a thorough dis racial kodol digests v what hat you eat and allows

mistake and sot got them too far apart but the seasons had passed by quickly and I 1 find that the distance looked so wide to me that I 1 could not think but that I 1 had made a mistake and got them too far apart but the seasons have passed by quickly and I 1 find that the distance Is not great enough ilind that the trees have in spite of heavy pruning brunin g grown so large that it is a difficult matter to pass between them when they are laden with fruit and also when spraying them I 1 shall plant another bloc of trees in tile the spring and I 1 know of many others in III that locality and the he general opinion seems to be that front from past experience that 30 feet at leahj between the rows and 15 feet in the ro row W will be about the right distance for planting an apple appie orchard it may be that 15 feet between the trees may seem a little ue ne arbut I 1 have seen large fruit ier arm chads where there has been less space than that between the rows we cana can get along for say tor for 12 or 15 years and it if the trees seem too close every other one can be taken out leaving 30 10 feet between the trees and 3 30 0 feet between the rows which would give plenty of room for spraying irrigating etc I 1 have also heard beard the idea elii exposed reseed that a should not at any future time look larger than a five or ten year old kept up until the tree has outgrown its usefulness la id chrz ra planting lanting of an apple orchard I 1 presume that the question arises as to the character of the stock that he is coins to plant the variety that he be is going to use ills his future success depends as much upon that as it doss does upon location soil tic tc we have had some very expensive lessons to learn itt in the 11 past ast and it is uple us now to profit by those lesions les lese Bons ons As an ill illustration ration as to lo how easily it is to make blunders when we plant without any available information that we know of to guide us I 1 had read a great deal of the valuable character of the northern spy and so I 1 planted 40 winter rear maines cs and 30 northern spy apple trees the 40 Pear maines malnes have yielded up to the present time nearly 1000 while tile the others have not yielded over 50 this is the difference between plant planting inu m the right varieties and the wrong I 1 believe that thal it is to the interest of the he grower to patronize home nurseries instead ot of buying from outside nurseries it if ho he can possibly ros sibly get stock from home nurseries because they have reputation to either maintain or lose and they are going to do all in their power to sell fhe the prospective grower stock tree of disease and true to name if I 1 they sell bad stock the first time it is sure to be found out sooner or later and they cannot afford to take any chances I 1 believe that it is to the advantage of the grower to deal with home nurseries As I 1 said before variety la Is a question on upon pan which success or failure depends I 1 would recommend that for commercial purposes but two or three varieties bo be planted because it is much easier to dispose of 0 them in c car ar load a a 1 I lots if yo you I 1 t have in ve plen plenty Y of one variety there are several that are famous among the glowers and with the commission and call consumers today there is a gano gana jonathan wine sap missouri pippin all red apples and all good commercial varieties I 1 shall plant in the spring the gano gana wine sap and winter almain Pe we ire are sometimes cautioned against a while apple ale but if they possess the quality no one will consider the color bolor my in judgment I 1 9 anent has been questioned in regard to the white winter but I 1 have found in the past that it sells even with the jonathan we have been prejudiced against the jonathan in our section because it blights baights so easily we fin faud d that other apples do a not blight so easily as tile the jonathan I 1 find fall that the Pearina tn sells with the jonathan but have lave heard one great objection raised to that apple because it is so susceptible to worms well I 1 would say if you are going to lot let the worms eat your apples then dont plant Pear Pearn mains mins or any other variety deseret former |
