Suggestions. — Much of the nitrogen can be supplied by growing 

 clover between rows and turning under. Excessive use of stable- 

 manure is believed to produce a growth of weakened vitality, not 

 able readily to withstand attacks of fungous diseases. Once in a 

 few years lime may be applied to advantage.
