READY FOR TREE PLANTING
On
Land That Is to Be Irrigated
Ground Should Be Carefully
Smoothed,
Inasmuch aa n largo acroago of
fruit trees will be planted next spring
a fow suggestions in regard to pro
paring land for orchard planting may
bo of vnluo to tho prospective plant
ers, writes II. W. Fiahor in Field nnd
Farm. .Much of tho soml-arld land in
tho West has a small amount of hu
mus in it nnd for that reason it Ib not
tho best plan to set out trees on new
ly broken sod. Dy plowing tho land
from 8 to 10 inches deep ono or two
years In ndvanco of planting timo and
growing somo crop in tho raeautlmo,
It will bo put in much better condl
lion for trco growth than if tho trees
ure set out Immediately nftor plowing.
On land that in to bo irrigated tha
ground should bo carefully lovclcd
nnd smoothed, boforo any crops ara
plnnted. This leveling Is vory essca
tlal to good results in irrigating. On
most of tho soil In this country n
lovolor ten or twolvo feet wldo nnd
from sixteen to eighteen feet long
with-threo cross pieces of threo by
six Inch material will glvo good Borvi
Ice. This lovcler can bo so mndo Hint
K wJH cut tho dirt from the high
HPots nd deposit it in tho low places,
nnd by going ovor tho ground two or
threo times tho surface enn ho put ln
good condttlon for Irrigation. Level
lng should bo dono immediately nfter
plowing when tho soil enn bo hnr
rowed and plnnted to somo grnln
crop.
A good crop to bo grown on tin
Innd thnt is to bo plnnted to orchards
Is onts nnd red clover, Tho oatB and

tho oats harvested in tho fall when
thoro will bo n growth of six or eight
Inches of clover. TIiIb will nfford
pusturngo during tho winter months
nnd tho following yenr ono crop o(
clover liny enn bo cut nnd tho second
crop plowed under. This clover nnd
oat crop Bhould provldo humiiB that is
very necessary for tree growth. On
many of our ooIIh nn orchnrd plnnted
on lnnd prepared a year or two ln nd-
vnnco of treo plnntlng will mnko ns
lnrgo n growth in eight or ton years
as trees that woro planted ono or two
yoars provlous on land that had not
recolvcd tho preliminary preparation.
'tho depth of plowing orchnrd soils
doponds Bomowhnt upon tho chnrnctor
of tho soli nnd tho subsoil. In very
looao soil undorlnld with light bud
noil It Is not neccssnry to plow so
deeply ns on aoll undorlnld with henvy
clny. Light soils mny bo plowed ns
shnllow ns six inches nnd still give
good results. Heavy soils should bo
plowed from eight to twelvo inches
deep nnd ln somo cases subsolled to
a depth of eighteen or twenty Inches.
If tho soli Is dry nt plnntlng tlmo the
trocs should bo Irrigated Immediately
nftor they nro not out. This Irrigation
should bo ilpno by making n small fur
