These are mainly liberal fertilizing, a careful i)reparation of ground, proper care and culture at the right time, and a judicious selection of varieties suited to the soil, climate, purxx)se and market. First of importance for fruit growing is a dry soil. Ground too wet for winter wheat should be under drained, unless plowing it up into narrow lands with deep dead-furrows Ijetween be sufficient. What to. I'hoto-cngruv'iii^i: of our Stand- nvosed to severe winds or else is so damp as to heave in winter, all stock had better be planted in spring. This, however, does not apply to the South, where the winters are mild, everything may \)e l^lanted in the fall. Still, if it is spring, do not put the planting otY until fall, as you would thus lose a season's growth. Preparation of Ground-I'^i^erize the soil thorougliiy at least twelve iiulies deep. Plow sod ground early enough to l^econie thoroughly rotten before |)lanting. But if not i)ractical to do so. then ])Iow into lands the width of rows and plant into the dead furrows. Harrow ground thoroughly to make surface soil mellow, with w hich to cover the roots. Excellent results are often o))tained in this way. If coarse manure is applied it should be i»lowed in. But well rotted manure is much better and should only be harrowed in so as to remain near the surface. Of commercial fertilizers unleached hard wood ashes are best, esix'cially on leachv soil.
