It should be borne in mind that the season for ripening covering the several fruits apply more especially to the San Joaquin Valley and are at best only approximate. In the Coastal region and the higher mountain valleys, the season quite naturally will be a few days later. WE will assume that the intending planter has his land established to grade; that his irrigation water has been provided for (unless in a region of sufficient rainfall) and con- ducted over the land; and that the soil has been put in a good condition of tilth for the reception of the trees or vines. In that case let us review the situation at close range. Establishing an orchard. In these days orcharding is an exacting industry requiring intense application based on practical knowledge, so that operation may be effective rather than experimental. The preparation of the soil is practically the same for all sections of California. The land should be carefully plowed before planting the trees. This can best be accomplished by thorough plowing, followed up with harrow- ing until the soil is friable. Sub-soiling is essential to any well developed land as it loosens the earth and leaves it in a con- ilit ion that will permit deep penetration of the roots.
