Instructions Relative To Planting Citrus Trees In planting citrus trees no slipshod | methods nhol)ld be pursued. To sim- /| ply get the trees in the ground is not ,enongh, yet many who plant do not | meet with success and then wonder why'their trees do not thrive. In planting trees in the rocky lands of Dade #fhore than ordinary pains should be faken in the preparation of the land and the digging of the holes Experience has taught that cere- less plainting does mot pay. We had the care of one grove that was plant- the contract was supposed to be an expert, yet the method employed and the careless mann er in which the work was done ¢tost the owner many dollars and much disappointment. The great majority of the trees were planted too deep, being three inches deeper than they grew in the nursery. Great care should be w:_d in setting the trees that they are .ot planted deeper than they naturally grew in the nursery. If there is any difference it is in favor of planting with the crown ropts just at the sur- face, but with little care the tree can be placed in the ground at the same depth that it stood in the nursery TOW. J 4 Again, many are too careless in digging the heles in which to place the treées. In the rocky soils cft- times one finds large houlders or fiat rock just where the top root of the .(fi'ee wonld naturally grow. O ur ex- perience is«that the rock and earth should be taken out at least eighteen inches deep and in case a large bould- er or fault rock should lay under the hole, drill a hole from three to four ipches deep, put in a dynamite cart- This will shat- ter the rock to the depth of the hole. The shat(ered rotk should be left and the Hole Mied ‘to the right depth for p!lnting the tree, The broken roek will give the roots a place to 1 peneti‘ate and at the same .time will begin: to - disintegrate, furnishing food for the young tree, as much of the' rock contains gfiite a percentage of phosphate, besides retaining mais- ture. Care should be taken to give the young trees plenty of water, as the shock from planting in loose ground has a tendency to retard the growth of-the tree. If a tree secures a heavy shock in planting it will take months to recover. It is a good plan after pre- paring the hole to scatter a handful of fertilizer and work in. This has a tendency to.start the tree to grow- ing more quickly, giving the new growth more vgior. 1In a dry time water should be applied at least once each week. When we say water we mehn a thoreugh wetting. It is also 2 good plan to mulch the young trees m—————m as this has a tendency to hold mois- ture much longer than Whem no mulching is used. The important stage of S!‘Wfll for citrus trees is when young. If a tree is left to itself, to live or die, the probabilities are that it will die, if not it will become stunned, the bark harden, the flow of sap very IFQBEGT which will result in taking years to bring it back to a vigorous growth. In planning a large grove the tr.ees should be gone over at least omce each week and if it is found that there is a tree that is not starting off ax well as it should, extra ¢are should be given the trees, a.little [ertilizer and often workings. Nine times out ef ten the trees will respond to this special care and instead of'having a grove uneven in 'size the trees will all show about the same growth, ing it a thing of beauty and of leasure to the owner and a grov that will soon come into profitable |J bearing. In driving through the country we find a great difference in groves of comparatively the same age and the question is often asked by those who are here investigating the country, “*What makes the difference in these groves?” It is a demonstrgted fact that he who has a poor grove, has either selected a soil that is nat well acapted to growing citrus fruit trees, has not given the trees intelligent Culture, “or has planted poor stock. It has been demonstrated beyond a question that he <who plants ecitsus trees on land adapted to theirgrowth, giving them careful and intelligen: cultivation, and planted good, sound stock, is making a success of his ven- ture and will have a grove that will bring in good round profits and will be a credit to the country. Half starved, half cared for groves are a disgrace to any community, a dis- grace and a disappointment to.its owner, and will never be of any financial value, The old adage, b U ¢ anything is woxth doing, it is worth deing well,” is true in regard to the citrus trees. There is no handsomer tree; its green foliage, with its branches loaded with: golden fruit, is a thing of beauty. The firt two years in a citrus grove is the critical age of the trees. Plant them: right, feed them right, cultivate them right and the grove will be all right, and from that time on the trees will stand ‘some some neglect without material damage, but neglect the trees for the first two years and the “jig is up,” the grove is a failure and the owner has lost his cash and caused damage to the country, as his grove gives the idea to those who are seeking homes that growing citrus fruit is a failure. —Homeseeker PM’: HICKOK FORSAKES SCHOOL - TEACHING FOR HIS NEW HOME. g “Bight Days in a Box Car or a New Method of High School Travel” is| the title 'of a book which Prof. W.
