CARE OE THE ORCHARD
Excellent Paper Read by Ilir. John Johnson, of
long Creek, at Fruit Growers’ Association
Held in Charlottetown.
A, gm- people are becoming more alive V
;¢ their interests along several lines of in-
dugry heretofore partly neglected, and _
fgotoriee are being erected throughout me length and breadth of our Island, which will no doubt in the near future, wgpge our manner and methods of farm- i.g_gnd¢vsilltend te enrich our soil as 'eu ,S our pockets. we as a Fruit Gi-overs' society wish to agitate for what willalso enrich and beautify eur homes, ,ndenhance the value of them by plant- ing in all favoured locations, orchards of mit trees, the best adapted to oar soil md climate, and to a‘rive at right con- clnaions in this respect requires no little experimenting. In fact many are prepared wgiva to this part of the industry. Hence the necessity of our society, where we can Uchange our views and experiences and “old mistakes which we otherwise might be years arriving at. Horticulture is a. waning as well as a proiitable employment. _ The desire for itis somewhat hereditary. gm-English emigr. n s brought over with mm fruit trees, of severalkinde, and var- mig, so alsowlid the Lowland Scotch tea less degree, but very little if any did their Highland neighbors or the Irish people interest themselves along those lines, int the reverse is very oftcn Sadly noticable. They appear to hue accounted every tree an enemy and in too many cases cut and de- stroyed everything within reach, so that -today whenever whole settlements are found it is generally bleak and shelterless around their homes, when in the majority of cases they might have been protected and beautifled by this friend of man. Nothing contributes more to make our homes cheerful and attractive, with a sense eofi refinement, than does 8 Well 'kept shelter belt and a good large orchard to say nothing of profit or medical beueflt_ Any business that has money in it will grow sooner or later. Horticulture has this disadvantage in that the returns are .not so immediate, but nevertheless We are -convinced that it.isa business that will pay hanisomely, those who will intelli- gentlyenter into it. Of the adaptibility -of our soil and climate there is no question; our exhibitions more and more prove that we can compete with almost .anypart ofAmerica. It_is new well un- derstood by scientific mén,that the further north in the apple belt the fruit is g_r0Wn.,_ _gther conditions being

feet apart, and they will soon till in. This shelter as well as the orchard must be fenced, andjust here a mistake is often made. Many people set out young trees in a Held, cultivate between them for a few years. have a poor fence around them, cattle or horscs are let in occasionally, occasionally they break _ in, and generally break the trees as well. After a time the cultivation ceases, the trees get stunted and barely live, get lousy or die out and very often the decision is that this is no count-ry for fruit. The fact is if we want to make it a success we must use as much intelligence with it as we do in any calling we make profitable. A very few years ago, at this season of the year, the maiorlty of farmers could not get enough milk to satisfy their families, owing to the want of consideration in care and feed, but now that we realise the protlt there is in this business, we are not backward in embarking in it, so itmnst be with fruit growing. Lay outaome consideration and oapi tal, care well for them with thorough cultiva- tion,get ahead of the weeds by having the land thoroughly clean before you plant. Set out after a crop of potatoes or turnipa, do not fence too high as it may ' cause too much snow to lodge and break the trees, put your trees twenty five. or better still thirty feet apart, as you need room for sunlight,sprayingalnd cultivating. _ Couple this with right. varieties and ‘ thoughtful care, and you cannot but be successful. In planting, set the trees with an angle to the southwest, the angle to be determined by the amount of expo- sure to that winfi. They .ne-ed not bc leaned to make them unsightly, but a good angle is needed in an exposed place. A hoed crop could be taken out if desired almost every year, but if this is done the land must be heavily rnanured every year. The trees should not be allowed to suffer, they must be kept thrifty. In the spring mulch them with coarse straw; a. few forkfuls around each tree, will keep the ground moist as well as keep the l weeds down. Apply all the ashes you can procure, and spread them broad cast; do .not pile them around the trees. Occas- sionally if desirable sow down to clover land when it is at its best plough it under. \Don't try how much you can take off the orchard, but how much you can put into it. It will be a bank account you may draw
