Plat Lands the Best for Orchards.
Somo discussion has recently taken
place among fruit growers and writers
at the West, on the question whether
high or low land is best for orchards.
The experience of lato years had shown

have recommended upland are charged
with giving badadvico. Mlie cast iron
rule has therefore been laid down; "Al
ways plant apple trees on low and
muist laud."
Some western orchardista havo ex-
iresscd tho opinion that tho reason low
ands havo given tho best results, is
that tho soil is deeper, mellower, aud
more nearly resembling tho manured
and cultivated ground of tho best man
aged orchards, and that if manure and
cultivation wore applied to the orchards,
on upland, tliey would give a different
and more favorable report. Whatever
the result might be. it is certain that
in many places high ground gives ,08
good aud often better, crops than de
pressions, and tho above mentioned
rulo should thcroforo bo modified or
changed to "always plant on such land
as experiment shows to bo best, wheth
er it be high or low land." Success,
depends on the character of tho soil,
and on tho treatment it receives, and
not on its depression or elevation, bter-
