Where soll and climate are favorable jand a good market can be secured Wruit growing for market is a very [profitable business. The most important point in plan- ning an orchard is selecting the loca: tion. The land should be naturally well drained if possible. Bcial drajpage should be resorted to. A moderate northeast slope is the most desirable. Trees on a north slope do mot start as quickly in the spring, and the danger of having the fruit buds sipped by an untimely frost is less ened. An orchard ou such a slope also suffers less from sun scald and ah which the pub Buna: ngs are placed is large enough the orchard can be located on the north slope and the buildings on the south A windbreak of a double row of ever greens on the west and north will stop the snow ip Winter and help tu keep the fruit from being blown off in sum- mer. To complete this protection the will have to be extended all #he way around, since in summer many of the heavy winds come from a south prly direction. Air Drainage.

An orchard located on & rise of land will escape many of thé frosts that cut down the profits in an orchard less favorably located. Trees on a hill are also less likely to be trou- bled with fungous diseases, since dry air is not favorable to them. A ofl too rich in nitrogen promotes leaf and wood growth at the expense of fruit.

The apple is the most widely grown tree frult in this country. It has hardy varieties that ean be growa gwell up into the northern sections. k #16.

The plum is even more bardy than the apple, and some of the improved varieties give as de- liclous fruit as could be asked for. Cherries' are also fairly hardy, and a few trees are a valuable addition to any orchard. In the milder sections peaches and pears can be added to the st. _.
