Results of Proper Orchard
Treatment.
A Lancaster County farmer who
kows how to grow big farm crops has
started growing peach trees, and has
written to Prof. H. A. Surface, State
Zoologist, Harrisburg, Penna.. a de-
tailed description of his method of
growing trees and fertilizing during
the summer and fall, and asks if he is
right in doing so. For the sake of put-
ting him on the right track Professor
Surface has been obliged to tell him
to change his methods, and has given
some information which may prove
helpful to persons who have been stim-
ulating their trees to growth that is
too rank, especially late in the fall.
The reply is as follows:
‘‘Concerning the treatment of the
soil around your peach tfees,I can say
that you are going about it as hear
blindly as.a man can. . I can not see
much method or scientific principle
back of what you are doing. You
