Ll EE to Plan and Do 'the Work--Why an Orchard Will Pay. (Centri{buted by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The erosion of hillsides and the flooding of the land below by the eroded material has long been a worry and an economical loss to many farmers in hilly and moune- This can frequent- ly be prevented, and the method em- ployed depends on the conditions ex- isting, such as the nature of the soil; light or heavy, the steepness of the slope, and the practiced; pasture or tilled crops. The Value of "Sheep-Drains." Wet hillsides used as sheep pas tures may be much improved by w hai are sometimes calied "sheep-drajns." are merely shallow open itches about 30 inches wide om oP, inches wide on the bottom, and pe e358 9 face water. They are definite channel to a suitable outlet at the base of the hill. The removed earth should be thrown out on the | lower side to form a sort of embank- give the water stroy the drain by either washi away the banks or digging the rated itself deeper, and making it: dangerous for the sheep and lamba. Sub-drains are socmelimes necessary. Terracing and Draining. A system of terracing thus is quite uni- washouts on hillsides. The terraces are made perfectly level, and of any width, and then carefully seeded to: grass. At the tirie of rain the water spreads out evenly over the su e of these and then flows gently over | the slope below without force to wash away any portion of the hill and thus proven's "gullying." gides a system of under-drainage is: son mes: used sueceezsfully. The amount of erosion of the land large- ; ly depends on its condition. If th surface soil cap be kept firm the} erosion will be lessened. Soft spots on the hillside, though, frequently : ogecur as a result of seepage water | from above which has penetrated the surface soil and reached an imper- vious layer and thus deflected to the surface on the side of the hill. Water Bowirg over this with con- siderzBle force will naturally wash it away more easily than the firmer soil frees frem this seepage water.

If the y hillside -is eomparatively steep, drains laid at an angle to the in- cline will be mare satisfactory. They wili naturally intercept all eof the water fiowing through the soil above them. Also the grade will be less and tks drains are not so Hable to be affected by the water moving slow- ly through them. If the slope is not very steep the draing may be laid down the incline with satisfactory re- gulis. Flere the tile drains the land on both sides and no double araining rasults. In this underdrainage the general benefits are again obtained.

Ontario is not preducing enough good apples for home supply, but imports annually frem Nova Sco- tia, British Columbia, Oregon and California. 2. Production in Ontario is likely to fall off still more because np'com- mercial planting is being done. Very few commercial apple orehards have Been set out in this Province since 1911. : 3. Of the thousands of young trees 1845 to 1911 a large proportion have al- ready passed out of existence. Prob- ably net more than 20 per cent. of the trees planted during those years will figure in the commercial produc- tion of the future, and certainly not . more tham 40 per cent. of them are 'alive and =r - tion to- oy ecelving reasonable atten- 4. The home orchard will never again be an important factor in com- mercial apple production in this Pro- vines, because it is not large eno: to be worth while. In seasons when scab eonirol is difficult, or when prices are down hecause of a heavy crop, the return from the small orch- ard is not large enough to justify the expense and risk iavelved. When conditions are unfavorable the small orchard passes quickly into State of neglect; this i3 why a and Bath Aina becoz much more general in the absence from the dietary of fresh fruits and vegetables.
