This Y} bulletin: may be had from the United tensive study of the soils apple ‘and peach orchards, the bureau of soils of the United States “department of agriculture has issued P Bulletin 140, “Soils of Massachusetts ana Connécticut, With Especial Refer- f ence to Apples and Peaches,” which discusses’ fn detail the adaptability of Ldifferent. less of soils to different va- jeties Of ‘tree fruits. 'The bulletin States department -of agricuture, ‘Washington, D. C., as long as the de- partment’s. supply for free distribu- tion lasts. Some of the interesting facts bear: ing upon apple raising developed in this bulletin are as follows: The climate of southern New England is rigorous, but the seasons are of sufficient length for the securing of i good crops, and seem especially favor- able for a long list of varieties of ap- ples. It js important to select va- Tieties that mature in the prevailing length of season, Barring low-lying areas the climatic conditions of the whole state are well suited o apple growing, though the character- of the fiuit varies with the kind of soil and not improbably to some extent with the range in climate. . A Baldwin grown on a certain soil 1,000 feet above sea level in a certain part . of the 'state matures.later and may pos- sess better keeping qualities than one grown forty miles farther south on the same character of soil at an ele- vation of 500 feet, ' ' Good Depth Required, ‘While the statement that “a given variety of apple, for the most success- ful growth within its general climatic region, requires a certain kind or condition of soil” seems incontroyert- ible, inasmuch as it is so well sub- stantiated by orchard results under a wide range of conditions, the reasoh why thig should be so is not so easily stated. It seems to depend -funda- mentally, upon the water-holding ca- pacity, or rather the moisture co- efficient, of the soil. The capacity of a soil to hold capillary water, which is the only kind plant growth can use, depends on the soil texture (1. e., the size of the soil grain); (2) the soil structure or the grouping of these tiny | grains into clusters, thus making it granular; (3) the amount of humus STYLE Mllhnery Sale at the QUALITY EASTERN MILLINERY CO. 183 Main Street, New Britain. includes_ All the Newest Slyles, Wonderful Values. 4 ‘i;s,porl" Hfils,:fPanamas and Leghorns Large Variely—Correct Style—Low Prices n the soil; and (4) the degree of soil tilth,"which' is a ‘combined 'effect of ‘the foregoing and tillage. Apples 'ripen a bit later upon . a northerly slope than on a southern one, but an earlier soil on the north side of a hill, such as a sandy loam, ‘may mature fruit as early as a heavier goil on the south side. The necessity for good depth of sub- soil can not be emphaized too strongly. - Shallow soils should be as- siduously avoided for orchard pur- | poses. The presence of unbroken considered prohibitive. A soil depth | of at least six feet should be insisted bighly desirable. Soils with tthe un- } derlying rock too near the surface ' have been responsible not infrequently for the failure of commerc:al orchards owing to.the incapacity of the sub- s0il to store sufficient moisture to off- set droughty conditions, or to get rid cf excess moisture early enough in the «pring. The condition of tree growth | &nd fruit yields malkes it evident that eolls for any kind of orcnard plant- ing should be deep, well drained and friable, ‘yet not to porus as to be droughty. For the red varities in New England both soft and subsoil should also be Wwell oxidized as indi- cated by uniform brewn, yellow or pessibly grayish-brown colors. Light gray or mottled colors should be avoided. A stony loam is often recommended as a desirable fruit soil, but stones | are advantageous only In that they may help a soil that is too heavy or clayey or too impervious—by making ' it somewhat more pervious to water. Slones are disadvantageous to a porus sandy soil. The fact that a soil is stony does not necessarily imply that it is productive. If apples are to be | Rrown with profit and. competition is | iseen, the soil must be productive or | at least capable of being brought to a [ productive state and so maintained. i Much of the current belief that “stony” soils possess some peculiar advantage for orchard fruits has un- doubtedly arisen from the success of | many orchards located on stony hills. Orchardist Is Important. The personal factor of the orchar- dist is important because a man '\\'ho likes to grow apples may grow very | 800d ones in spite of adverse soll con- | ditions while oné who does not care | for orcharding may not produce good apples even in excellent soil. The best of the commercial apple crchards are cultivated wuntl mid- summer and then laid by with some of the cover crops. The sad-mulch stem is also practiced to some ex- tznt. In the case of the sod-mulch upon, and an even greater depth isi eare must’ be”taken to prevent the growth (of. grass or weeds for a few feet beyond' the outer tips « of the biranches. Grass in this place is more serious than if near the trunk because the feeding roots are under this portion of the soil. It must be admitted, however, that a large part of the aggregate number of , apple trees in both Massachusetts and Con- necticut regularly receive neither cul- tivation nor mulching.
