MAKE STUDY OF
ORCHARD TREES
Careful Growers Should Go
Through Orchard Care
fully at This Time
One of the best methods of de
termining whether or not the orchard
i responding property to the man
agement methods given it is to in
spect the trees carefully at this season
of the year.
"This applies particularly to apple
orchards," says H. K. Niswongcr, ex
tension horticulturist at State Col
lege. "Every careful grower will go
through his orchard while there is a
lull in work and examine the fruit for
disease. There may he some fruit
cleaner than other in the same va
nity. There may be some variation
in pruning or in the kind of spraying
material used. It is wise to mark any
trees that -may need special attention
in the future,"
Mr. Niiwonger suggests that fruit
he examined f>>r codling moth damage
especially on the trees standing near
the packing and storage places. This
is an indication that these places
must l»e cleaned tip. The fruit should
also he examined for scale insects be
cause they multiply and spread rapid
ly during the summer.
A close inspection of the foliage oi
the tree* will pay, Mr. Niswonger be
lieves. Some foliage may show the
ueed for more nitrogen or organic
matter in the soil. Some trees may
be dyiug-from the attacks of field mice
or from disease. As soon as the har
vest is over, the grass and weeds and
the mice tunnels under the trees'
should be destroyed by hoeing. When
early winter comes, put out some
poisoned bait to kill out the mice.
At any rate, during this season,
every orchardlst will find it profilable
to go over his trees carefully and
make notes as to future work needed
to be done.

WIIEN you buy a Ford far today, you buy what ia
unquestionably the greatest value in the history
of the Ford Motor Company. Never before has so
much beauty, comfort, safety and performance been
offered at such a low price.
The low price of the Ford is something to think

that price. When high quality is combined with low
