In part their report states: The statistics of culture, however, show more strikingly the condition of the apple growing business In Addison county. Out of 42 representative apple growers whose orchards were personally examined by the agent of the Experiment station, only eight, or less than give any cultivation to the ground. The others grow their apple trees in grass, and often pasture or mow the grass at that. This lc altogether wrong and unprofitable. It was once a debatable question whether an apple orchard should he cultivated or not; but it is debatable no longer. The cash returns settled that By way of comparison it may be said that there is hardly an orchard, large or small, in Grand'lsle county which Is not now annually cultivated with the plow and harrow. Probably the greatest reform to be made In Addison county apple growing lies in the cultivation of the land. Apples can lie grown in sod, to be sure; bat it is abso'uMy rertaln that cast s out of a hundred, in ninety-nin- e better fruit can be grown and a greater profit rtnllzed if the soil is properly cultivated. Proper cultivation, according to the generally accepted doctrine of tlie time, consists of plowing the land early in the spring, and in lolloping this with a surface cultivation or cutaway harrow with spring-tootevery ten days till July first. By that time the wood is done growing and cultivation should be stopped. Then a cover crop of clover, eight pounds to the arre, or of peas, two bushels to the acre, or of buckwheat, one bushet to the acre, should be sown. The cover crop holds is place untouched till tha following spring, when It is turned tinder at the annual plowing. one-ilft- h, h Sam Kxprrlnient with WIimI.
