NOVEMBER S 3, IWI yet good drainage. I have tried the commercial high bush varieties but have been unsuccessful. The va rieties I like best are Men ditoo and Tifblue, but other good varieties are Garden Blue, Homebell and Woodard. Proper planting and good mulch maintenance are very important for success. Plants should be set anytime during the dormant season. Well de veloped two-year old plants are best. Make a hole at least three feet across and at least 12 inches deep. Fill the hole to receive the plants with a mixture of one-third peat or good woods mold, one-third sand and one-third top soil. IDO not use any lime as the plants prefer a slight ly acid soil, a pH 4.0 to 5.0 is best. Never set blueberry plants any deeper than they were planted in the nursery. After setting, mulch the plants with 4 to 6 inches of well rotted sawdust extending out at least three feet or more from the plant. This mulch should be maintained by adding additional old saw dust, pine needles or leaves each year. Hand pull weeds and no cultivation should be necessary. Home Orchard Manage ment: Now is the time to remove broken limbs and prune fruit trees and grapevines. Fruit tree pruning may be done any- time from now on through February. 1 find that pro crastination is a thief of time; therefore, it is im portant to get to the prun ing job as soon as possible so that it will be done and over with before we neg lect it and don't have time because of other work. Peach trees should be pruned with an open cen ter. In setting new peach trees, they should be lopped off at about 30 to 36 inches above the ground, making them spread and develop a good set of 4 to 5 scaffold limbs. Fruit will be borne on the previous season’s growth but this new growth must also be thinned and cut back to prevent the tree from be coming overloaded. Gen erally, when a person thinks they have thinned enough they should re move about half of what is left and then the tree should be about right to produce a good crop of fruit. Apple and pear trees newly set should be cut off at about 5 to 6 feet above the ground. As the tree grows the next year one main stem should be allowed to lorm the cen ter of the tree. In prun . ing growing trees the op eration should be one of thinning rather than cut i ting back. Again, it is I very important to do rath -1 er severe thinning, leaving : some fruiting wood along - the limbs rather than leaving it all out on the tip of the limb. Winter spraying with li quid lime sulfur, or the next best is wettablc lime sulfur, is very important to control the disease spores that are carried over on the tree. This is a good spray for all fruit trees, including bunch grapes. The winter spray may be put on anytime from now until about the middle of February. It must be done before the buds begin to swell in the spring. In mixing the lime sul fur spray, read the label and follow the directions as given by the manufact urer. Farm and Home Safely: Remember, “an ounce of safety prevention is worth many pounds of safety cure, and sometimes there is no safety cure.” Check the home and farm carefully and remove safety hazards. This is a good job to detail to the youngsters around the home as well as supervise them in doing it. It makes the youngsters more safety minded as well as getting the job done.
