Growing Two Apples Instead of One
OHIO EXPERIMENT STATION (Monthly Bulletin No. 4, 1918) reports: " The fertilized tillage and
cover crop plots have returned a 4-year average annual gain of 47.25 barrels per acre over the unferti-
lized plots in the same section. The fertilized grass mulch plots have given a 4-year average annual gain
of 91.5 barrels per acre over the unfertilized plots in the same section."

Mr. E. E. Archibald, Wolfville, N.S.,
through proper cultivation, fertilizing and
spraying, increased the yield of a half
acre degenerated orchard to 108 barrels
of picked    fruit.  (Annual Report of
Secretary of Agriculture, Nova Scotia,
1910.)
Just what would the above increases. in
yields from fertilizing your orchard mean

to you? Figure it out. Apply fertiliz-
ers this spring.
Pennsylvania Experiment Station, Bul-
letin 153 (1918) has also found orchard
fertilizing profitable.  Bulletin 15 says:
"When the trees indicate that some ferti-
lization is needed at once we suggest the
use of about 500 lbs. to the acre of a
6-8-5 fertilizer."  (This means a fertilizer
carrying 6% ammonia, 8% phosphoric
acid and 5% potash).

Strawberries
Manure supplemented by 1.000 lbs. ferti-
lizer high in ammonia and potash with a
medium amount of phosphoric acid per
acre is the way Mr. L. D. Robinson. Ber-
wick. N.S., grows highly profitable crops.
Mr. M. K. Ells. Port Williams, N.S., uses
800 lbs., high grade complete fertilizer per
acre, applied just before the young plants
are set.
