FERTILIZE THE TREE SAYS EXPERT I ' Important Advice Given to Fanners and Orchard Owners by the State Officer Experts of the State Department of Agriculture who have been visiting farms and orchards throughout the State declare that many Pennsyl ' vanians are not going to get the crops 1 of fruit they should because they are not fertilizing their trees. S. W. Funk, the fruit expert of the i department's advisory force, says of j this neglect: * I "Many people think that fruit trees need no fertilizer and let them shift for themselves, which is the cause of so many starved trees in this State, il believe more trees die of starvation each year than from any other single cause. "When manure of any kind is used as feed it should be applied in the Fall or sometime during the winter, but if you are using commercial fertilizer it should be applied about blossoming time. If you have not yet fed your trees, this Is a good time to do itl apply your fertilizer at once before you forget about it. "Trees on different soils of course require different kinds and different amounts of fertilizer and we can make no hard and fast rules, but by watching your trees 61osely you can tell what they need. Fertilize your bearing trees so that you secure an average of from six to twelve Inches of new growth each season; young trees should grow considerably more than that. Always use a good high grade fertilizer, which carries from 3 to 6 per cent, of phosphoric acid. "Some varieties of trees require more fertilizer than others but a safe rule is to apply about a pound of fertilizer to each tree for each year in age; for instance, a twenty-year old tree should have about twenty pounds. If you are cultivating the orchard apply it Just before a cultiva tion. while if the orchard is In sod, apply it on top of the grass and the rains will take it down. Where tha trees are large apply the fertilizer over all the ground, excepting a space of from four to six feet around the trunk of the tree. At this point we find nearly all brace roots and ferti lizer does very little good there. On a younger tree apply the fertilizer well out beyond the spread of the branches so that it comes in contact with the feeding roots. The fertilization of the orchard cosis so little and the results are so remarkable that you simply can't afford to neglect it."
