But don't be tooled --they grow old and pass the stage of peak profits far sooner than you think. Experienced growers in Wash- ington, one of our really famous apple states, find that trees are most profitable when they're 10 to 25 years old. After that they need more and more care and attention. And that costs money. Hanging onto an old orchard is one of the tnost expensive mis- takes you can make, That's why these Washington growers have developed systems for keeping their trees young and high -pro- ducing. * e Pulrem out and start over again, once trees are "over the hill?" No, because that means a five- to ten-year wait until young trees come- into bearing. And who can afford idle land in times like these? The Washington growers simp- ly replant young trees in among the old-timers that are beginning to fade. That's not just occasion- al fill-ins, but new trees, set in th e center of every square througout the whole block. It means that you have just as many young trees coining along as you have old ones to take out. As the young trees grow, you gradually prune back the old ones to let in plenty of sunlight About the time the young trees come into full production, you have the old ones cut back to Miss Is A Hif - Three-year-old Fseder; que Lanchet, youngest mannequin in Parise France, is a Jaig hit in,this pint-size creation by, Virginia.

That's what faced Del and Walter Law of Douglas CountS', Wash.:They had a block of 30 -year-old Joltathans set 30' x 30', and they wanted Delicious and wider spacing. e 4 e Here's how they did it: the`, old trees butted up to a young or- chard set in 40 x 40' squares, So they merely extended the rows. If a new tree came within six feet of an old tree, out came the old one. (In non -irrigated or- chards, the USDA recommends that new -trees be planted no closer to old ones than 15 feet.)' The Laws feared the worst when they found that the new planting took a third of the trees out of their old stand. Besides that, they pruned many 02 the remaining old trees, to give the new ones sunlight. It sure left a ragged -l00,114 orchard. But what surprised the Law Brothers Was that produc- tion, even after that first-year cut back, didn't drop a whit? "And to . prove what a little extra sun will do, both size and color of fruit showed a big,tm• provement," says Del Law. 4 4, R You should start young trees when the old stock is about 25 years old, Washington growers have found, Too many wait until trees are 35 to 40 years old, then have poor success. For the first year or two, lop off just a few branches to let sun in to the new tree. Then, in not more than ten years, only a stump and one or two central branches of the old tree remain. What then, pull out the old stump? You don't have to -- just saw it off flush with the ground and leave it. Here something else to remem- ber: these renewal trees don't take the place of `fillers." Ante time that a tree in the original planting dies, a young tree goes in its place right in the row. * o But doesn't this system of re- placements interfere with spray - in f you plant young trees in the centers of the squares, be sure that the sprayer rig doesn't run over them, nor pack the soil by passing too near. You'll have no trouble at all, though, if you plant between the old trees in the row. The kind of system you use isn't nearly as important as hav- ing a, system and following it. The outcome is the same, whether you replant 25% of your trees every ten years, or 105 every four years. His Job Was Guarding Rhinos I most certainly do not wish to give the impression that the game department's main interest was the elimination, of maraud- ing animals. Conservation was also of prime importance. Some eighty miles south of the Makin - du district lay the Makindu area. However, in part of this district there was so much lava rock that it was calculated Meet the cost of uprooting bush among the stones would be prohibitive.

At any rate e no one of them would jeopard- ize his chances of leadership by taking the lowly place of wash- ing the feet of the others. So their dusty feet went unwashed.
