GIVE FRUIT TREES ROOM.
Several years ago I OW110(1 a term on
which was an old, dirilly and produc-
live apple orchard, sus Mae A. C. lied -

of the group, n regular giant. The
ground had not been plowed for several
yerne, and WaS COVO0CCI W1111 a very
tough, [leek soci. Questioning the ad-
visability of plowing it, some live or six
sholes without jewels on their uose
were turned in, Their industry W118 re-
markable, the tillage being complete.
Pa:48111g near the above mentiened tree
one day, an exposed root about, an inch
in dinmeter was discovered about 4 feet
from Ilia body of the hoe. This root
05110 cut off close to the body and pulled
up horn the loose soil slislight away
from the trees 32% feet. Ilud the near-
est neighboring tree sent out ns long a
feeder in the spaces between the trees,
there would have been a complete net-
work of Interlocked roots. The soil wee
a sandy loam, and the roots •probably
extended farther Ilion they would 111 a
colder soil, hence no general rule could
be given for lite distance apart which
apple trees should be set, ns much
would depend on soil and other locul
conditions.
