MEDIA Are you
planning to purchase fruit
trees this Spring? Then
you’d better get your order
in soon. Nursery orders are
usually filled in the sequence
they’re received.
By ordering early, both
back-yard and commercial
orchardists can get the pick
of the trees and varieties
available.
Here are some tips to get
the' best results from your
trees: Always order from a
reliable nursery and insist
on disease-free stock. It’s
also best to plant varieties
that do well in your area.
Another tip, according to
James J. McKeehen,
Delaware County Extension
Agricultural Agent, is to buy
one-year-o'd non-branched
fruit trees that are about
four to seven feet high.

Bill Adams, Shoemakersville, is using a nitrogen stabilizer to boost yields and
cut feed costs.
Saving nitrogen

acres are made into silage.
This past year Adams got 28
tons to the acre.
In the spring he applies
potash and phosphorus
according to soil tests. He
manufactures his own liquid
fertilizer which consists of
N, P and K under the brand
jname Sure-Crop.
Next he moldboard plows,
followed by applying 90 units
of liquid N mixed with
Furadan and N-Serve.
Planting follows and Lasso
atrazine is applied pre
emerge. '
“I have used N-Serve for 3
years now and have gained
10 to 20 bushels more com
per acre where the product
was used,” Adams said.
Yields varied, according
to Adams, depending on how
wet the growing season was.
It should be noted that the
liquid N tank mix is in

with a disk to keep *the
stabilizer from evaporatifig.
No-till corn is grown
basically the same way
except Paraquat is mixed
with the liquid N. All of the
com is planted in 30 inch
rows with populations of
18,000 to 24,000.

Try Creosote oil
as deer repellent
NORRISTOWN Deer
cause much damage in
Pennsylvania orchards and
ornamentals each winter.
Many ideas to control
them have been tired, but
practically none of them
have been completely
successful, says Paul Reber,
County Agent, Cooperative
Extension Service.
One of the older repellents
due to the nitrogen stabilizer
is 12 bushels. His 300 acres
times It bushels tunes $2.50
= $9,000 less the cost of the
stabilizer. At $5 per acre
tunes 300 acres the cost is
$1,500. 'This leaves a net
return of $7,500.
The upshot of these two
dairymen’s operations is
they both have been able to
increase yields and reduce
labor plus machinery costs.
This enables them to reduce
overall feed costs.
which does give some
protection is creosote oil.
Directions for use involve
winding a 4-inch by 24-mch
piece of cloth into a loose
four-inch roll. Tie the ends
together to keep them from
unwinding. Creosote oils
may then be poured on the
“doll” or it may be dipped
mto the oil container. The
“doll” is then hung in the
tree at browsing height for
the deer, says Reber.
In areas of heavy deer
feeding, it may be desirable
to use two to three “dolls”
per tree, but in lesser
populated areas one “doll”
per treemay be adequate.
