WJlllo the youn ! ; trees are mnkmg clean trunks do mpltlly during the ( lo'rlod of greatest yel1rly heIght growth I they are , also. makIng . . .thelr Jfcatost. annual gains in dlnmeter , for these two Corms of growlh generally culm I. I nnto about the BamO time , oays Glf. tord Plnchot In n report on Corest lrees. A lIlUo later , If there Is any dlerence ( , the younJ ; forest's highest yearly rate of growth In volume Is also roachcxl. For n time these three kinds of growlh lcoep on at the Bnmo rate as In the past , but aCterwards all three heJln to decrease. Growth In dIameter , nnll In volume also , It the trees nro sound , gooa oh unUl ex. tremo old ago , but height growlh sinks very low whllo the two others are stili strong. For many y nrs before this happens the slruggle between the trees has not been so deallly , because Uley have been almost wIthout the means of overtopplnJ ; ono anot'her. When the end of the perIod of principal - pal height Jrowlh Is re ched the trees are InterferlnJ ; with each other very little , and the struggle tor lIfo begins again In a different wny. As tbo prIncipal heIght Jrowth ceascs , nnd the tops no 10nJor shoot up rapidly above the side branches , the crown ; lese lhelr polnled shape and become comparatively Onto 'fhe chief reason why trees stop growing In height I ! that they nre not able to l"eep the upper parts oC tholr crowns properly supplied with water above a certahi /dlstanco from the ground. Tbls , dls "tance varIes In different dnds of trees , and with the health and vigor ot thf. tree In each species , but there Is II limit In every caBe above which tht water docs not rench. The power 01 the pumping machinery , mal'O than any olher quality , determines thE heIght oC the tree. Shallow Cultivation. In all work in the Jardon It Is bet. ter to give shallow cultivation than Ileep cultIvation after the roots of thE plnnts have extended Into the bare s a cs b tween the rows. DeCoro that time the cumntlon may be deep , nd should be deep to Jet the soil thoI' ouhly loosened up , so thnt the rootl : of the plant3 , as soon as they reacH out Into this fresh soli , will bo nbl < ; to strlko deep and remain below the IIno of the shallow cultivation that Is to follow. If the ground is not stirrell to a good depth at first thE ; roots wIU extend along the surface 0' ' the ground and will be conotanUy In' terfered with by the cultivator , nc matter how shallow it may be run With the proper preparation of thE grounll , and wIth this deep cultivation at first , the latter cultivations , thougb shallow , wIU be .found to bo very ben , eficlal. They will not breale of [ thE ! enlls oC the roots , but will leeep the soil well aerated and thus help to loosen up the plant food and place It In a usnble condition. ThIs aeration of the solt Is of far greater Import. auco than most ot our Carmers have sllspected. It is far better to cultl. vate often than alter long lapses oC U'me , as In the latter case the STound becomes h rd , capillary tubes are formell , and soU moisture Is wasted , Thc Universal Fruit. The strawberry Is coming to be con' sldered the universal Crult and called such , though wo must aclmowlooge that there are places on the Jlobe where It will not grow. However , It has a. wider range of habltaUon than any other fruit Imown to AmerIcans. not excepting the apple. From thE Gulf to nrlUeh' America it Is grown abuudauUy. It Is easy to propagate , eas ) ' to protect from the cold of win. tel' and Is easy to transport. It is all the more popular , us It Is the flrsl Crult to appeal' on our tqbles In the sprIng. Every year the strawberry ap' pcars a IItUe earlier In the northern lUorl.et , aull It loolts as IC before long It woutd ho on OUI' tables the year round. In fact strawberry cnthu , slasts are predicting that when the great Intel'1latlonal rullroad that Is to onnect the United Statcs with the South American countrIes Is con.
