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.
