HORTICULTURAL NOTES.
(Prof. J. A. Wright, Agricultural Col-
lege, Utah.)
A peach tree, set in suitable soil,
should 'live and bear fruit for forty
years, if properly pruned, fertilized
and thinned each year, to prevent
breaking down. It is the breaking of
branches, that marks "the beginning
of the end" of the life of the peach
tree.
* • •
The solution of lime, salt and sul
phur, as formulated in Experiment
Station Bulleuii No. 65, is proving the
most effective winter, spray for all in
sects as well as fungus attacking any
kind of fruit trees.
• ♦ * •" '
All orchard owners should bear in
mind that the San Jose scale is far
easier to keep out of an orchard than
to ? exterminate after it once gains a
foothold. The lime, salt and sulphur
spray applied late in the fall and be
fore the leaves start in the spring,
will prove a sure preventive of the
San Jose scale, besides killing every
other form of insect and fungus.
• ♦ •
Give a calf skimmed milk and you
will produce an inferior animal, give
the same calf whole milk and he will
be better all through his career. The
same reasoning applies to trees. Give
all the fertility of soil to the tree,
and both tree and fruit will be su
perior; give the cream of the soil to
lucern and weeds and let the tree
take the skimmed milk, and you will
have a skimmed milk product.
:.. * • *
Culture through every step with a
young tree, tells for good; just as care
ful training tens in the development
of a boyextra care in mature years
may make something out of the neg
lected boy, but that full development
once possible ■ may never be reached
if early training be neglected.
♦ * *
If you intend to plant 100 trees of
any class of fruit, put in 50 each of
two varieties selected for their ship
ping or keeping qualities. The bane
of orcharding in Utah has been the
indiscriminate planting of few trees
of many varieties.
i* * *
If you must choose between six ir
rigations with no cultivation and three
irrigations with thorough cultivation,
choose the latter. It will pay every
year to give good shallow cultivation
to the orchard.
-•■: ' * • »
In selecting varieties of apples to
plant with a view to making a com
mercial orchard, remember that the
world wants and always shall demand
red inter apples that will keep till
March or April.
•; . **" •> * *
Plow up the ground between the
trees Jin the fall and leave it rough
as possible all winter, thus saving the
storm waters that fall during the win
ter and early spring. Before the dry
ing winds of April and May set in,
make the surface -of the orchard
smooth as possible and thus retain th«
moisture that came during the winter.
* * •
Either enlarge the family orchard
and make it of commercial impor
tance, or else pull out every tree be
yond sufficient to supply the family
with fruit. Don't aim to be a com
ruercial orchardist with only two acres
of mixed fruit. You will fail every
time.
