Show Renovating the Old Orchard. To change neglected orchards from a state of worthlessness and disgrace to that of a revenue producer and a pleasing plantation, we should begin by giving the trees as good soil conditions condi-tions as possible. If necessary, drain between every row of trees. If ths ground is very hard it may be necessary neces-sary to subsoil a space, say ten feet, wide, between each row of trees. Go over the orchard and note the varieties varie-ties of which the trunks are sound,, and which will make good stock on which to graft. At the proper time ia. April have these grafted. |
