BOWSFIELD Diversity 18 just as important in fruit growing as in any other kind of farming. It pays to make a long sea- son by having both early and late fruits. In carrying: out this idea with tree fruits the June plum comes prominent- ly into the scheme. Strawberries, bush fruits, cherries, harvest apples, etc., open the season, and for four months there may be a good income from these Just here I would like to emphasize the impartance of farm canning opera- tions. By simple canning methods which every intelligent housekeeper understands and which beginners read- {ly learn. fruit products are doubled in value and may be kept almost indefi- nitely. There i3 a large waste of gar- den and orchard products unless the owner employs preserving and canning processes, Plums, as a rule, are hardy and pro- lific. The June plum is worth $4 per A LESSON IN OANNING FRUITS. bushel, or fully twice as much as the later varietles. The trees are hardy, and little trouble is experienced from insects. In the spring there are usual- ly some insect pests, but if once de- stroyed there is no more trouble for the rest of the season. The plums are easy to harvest, as the trees are not very high. The money for this prod- uct of the farm comes when other fruit crops are beginning to ripen, and on most farms it is greatly appreciated. QOurrants and gooseberries, like plums, give the farmer a few days in which to turn around. The work of picking, marketing and canning is less urgent than with strawberries. In planning a little farm all these facts/must be kept in mind. Then there are other prod- ucts which seem to-harmonize with fruit growing and help to keep up a cash income without a great deal of drudgery. Poultry and bees belong in this category. Honey is an interesting side line to fruit growing that may be profitably enlarged upon In many localities with benefits accruing two ways. The hon- ey crop itself is often a money crop. and aside from this bees are about the best thing going to develop full fruit- ing and perfect fruit in an orchard. There are many instances where peo- ple with old orchards uncertain and unsatisfactory in fruiting have devel- oped them into fine producers by keep- ing a lot of bees and distributing the colonies over the orchard so that they get at the trees in bloom time. It may be necessary—probably will— to grow other crops to supply the bees, such as white clover, buckwheat, alfal- fa, and so on. However, the return from the honey crop will justify all this. Meantime the bees will get part of their support from the apple trees while they are in bloom. and in re- turn they will improve the quality and yleld of the apple crop itself enough to make them a profitable investment. Of course some people take more kindly to or have better success with bees than others. It is a mistake to be easily disheartened. Bees seem es- sential to the welfare of orchards, and those who have had trouble and be- come discouraged should persist In ef- | torts to keep an aplary. By continued study and experiments difficulties can be overcome, and in time the bees can be made profitable themselves, while at the same time they contribute ma- terially to the profits of fruit growing by the work of fertilizing the trees while in bloom. Sowing Spinach Seed In Winter. Few people realize that spinach seed can be planted during the last of Feb- ruary or first part of March, says the American Agriculturist. The ground should be prepared the fall before by plowing and harrowing. At the time mentioned the spinach seed is broad- casted over the ground, using about twenty pounds of the thick leaf vari- ety to the acre. If the soil happens to be workable at that time it may be lightly harrowed. In any event a light, even coating of rotted stable manure should be spread over the ground to cover the seed. Planted in this manner the seeds will germinate and grow a little every sun- ny day, and by the usual time for plant- ing the spring spinach these plants will be well started. . The crop will be ready for cutting a_week or ten days earller than it would be otherwise. Pay-Up Week, Feb. 21-26, means much to you.
