KEKOVALION OF THE WORN-OUT
ORCHARDS OF THE WEST
VIRGINIA FARMS.
The?ilies Advanced By a Practical Man.
Win. K. Alderman, Professor of
Horticulture. West Virglnlu
University.
Of the many causes that contribute
towards the downfall of an orchard old
age is the most often ascribed, for it
is an elastic term and, like charity,
covereth a multitude of sins. As a
matter of fact the apparent age of an
apple tree depends so intimately upon
the care it has received that it is impossible
to say even approximately how
many years aa orchard may be handled
with profit.
Close I'lanting.
In many cases too close planting has
been the cause of an untimely end to _
the orchard. The trees at maturity become
crowded, the branches interlock,
the supply of air and sunlight necessary
for existence is shut off and the
lower branches die. The trees grow
upward towards the open air, as in a
forest, and more lower branches die,
until finally the orchard resembles a
huge green canopy supported upon
bare poles.
This struggle for existenoe has not
been confined to the branches alone,
for the roots, in their search for food
and water, have wandered far and
wide, until by necessity they Jave become
trespassers upon the feeding
ground of their neighbors. It is difficult
to f illy rejuvenate such an orchard,
for the remedy?taking out
alternate trees?snouid have been ap.
plied year3 before. After the branches
begin to touch, to put aff the thinningout
of the trees means a steady falling
off in the orchard's incomePruning.
The dead and decaying wood?ideal
lurking places for dangerous insects
and fungi?should be cut out, as well
as the water sprouts, crossed branches
and parallel limbs. To round the tree
into a symmetrical form and to stimulate
growth it may be well to cut
back some of the sound branches.
Spraying.
A policy of careful and systematic
spraying should be carried out. The
first year spray the dormant trees
with a very strong solution of copper
sulphate?say 12 pounds to 60 gallons
of water or with commercial lime and
sulfur at the rate of one gallon to ]
five of water. This spray is to clean j
off the fungi and lichens that may be
on the tree and may be omitted after ,
the first year. Subsequent sprayings j
for scale, scab, codling moth, etc., will
be discussed In a later article.
FertilizersFrequently
worn-out orchards will
respond to fertilizers, where well-cultivated
ones will not. During the first
few years of regeneration, at least, it
would be advisable to feed the orchard
liberally with either a high-grade
chemical fertilizer or barnyard manure.
Shanintr nit an Old Ttpa.
By far the most important thing is
to place the orchard under a thorough
system of cultivation. Stirring the
soil sets free plant food that has he.
fore been locked up. The old sod
which has been a drain upon the soil
should be destroyed, so that the trees
may secure all the available nourishment.
In normal seasons there Is only
about rain enough to properly develop
a crop of apples, and In years of
drought the moisture ha* to be guard
