Points About
Orchard
T. H. McHatton, Prof. Horticultur;,
Ga. State College Os Agriculture.
Orchards should be planted in Geor
gia before Christmas, though they are
sometimes planted later. Get the
plants delivered about the last of No
vember. When they arrive heel or
bank them till ready to set out. This
is done by digging a trench on the
north side of a hill or house, putting
the roots of the trees therein and cov
ering them.
Peaches and trees that grow to sim
ilar size should be set about 20 feet
apart each way, pears twenty-five feet
apart; apples 35 to 40 feet apart and
pecans apart.
Pig a hole about two feet square
and two feet deep, pecans 3 to 4 feet
deep. Put the top soil and some well
decomposed barnyard manure, or a
pound or more of cottonseed meal or
bone meal in the bottom of the hole
mixing well. Prune off all twisted and
broken roots from the trees, set in
center of the hole and begin to fill
with top soil. Pack down thoroughly
as the dirt is being thrown in. Fill
higher than the surrounding surface.
The tree will show how deep it has
been in the nursery. Do not set in
the orchard more than one inch deeper
than that.
After planting, prune the tree back.
Peaches should be left from 1 foot to
18 inches and apples 15 inches to 2
feet high.
Varieties for Georgia.
It is impossible to give a list of
fruits adapted to all sections of Geor
gia. The following varieties will, gen
e-ally speaking, be found to do fairly
well:
Apples:—Yellow Transparent, Red
Astrachan, Brilliant, Kinnard, Ben Da
vis, Stayman Winesap, Terry, Yates
and Winesap.
Peaches: —Mayflower, Greensboro,
Carmen, Waddell, Hiley, Elbeila, Lem
on and Stinson.
Pomegranates:—Large Sweet, Span
ish Ruby and Acid.
Pecans:—Alley, Bradley, Stewart,
Schley and Teche.
Pears:—Kieffer.
Plums: —Abundance and Wild
Goose.
Grapes:—Diamond, Ives, Delaware,
Niagara, Concord, Diana and Scupper
nong.
Figs:—Lemon, Brown Turkey, Ce
lestial and Green Ischia.
Strawberries: Lady Thompson,
Aroma, Klondike and Missionary.
Short courses are to be offered by
the College of Agriculture to the
members of the boys’ and girls’ clubs
who attend the Southeastern Fair at
Atlanta.
County Agent Harper of Tattnal
county discovered the boll weevil in
Ais territory about the first of October,
showing that the weevil has swept
nearly across the ..state in a season.
AN INCREASE IN
SUBSCRIPTION
Unusual Cost of Printpaper
Makes the Change
Necessary.
After having given the matter
due consideration, and finding no
relief in sight, The Montgomery
Monitor, along with practically
every weekly paper in Georgia,
will on Nov. 15th raise its sub
scription price to $1.50 per year.
Any man who has kept abreast
of the times understands that
newspaper has advanced in cost
from 300 to 500 per cent, in the
past year, making it impossible
to issue a paper at the price of a
dollar a year.
Therefore, from Nov. 15, and
until the situation isrelieved, the
following subscription rates will
obtain: One year, $1.50 in ad
vance; six months, 75 cents in
advance; three months 40 cents
in advance.
In order to get the benefit of
the present price it is necessary
to renew at once; no subscriber
will be carried for a dollar a year
after Nov. loth. If you appreci
ate the work of the county paper,
at least call in and pay what you
owe, and renew if possible. Show
your county pride by co-operating
with the county paper.—Oct. 12.
