RENOVATING THE OLD ORCHARD. 
On this farm there are about 2 acres of old apple orchard in which 
some 30 trees are still in fairly good condition (fig. 4). About one-

yielded a total income of $360. The owner's net profit as a result of the first

fall apples. Having become somewhat interested in apple growing 
and having seen the opportunity to develop a local market trade in 
this fruit, Mr. English decided that he would try to renovate this old 
orchard. The previous year he had cut all the underbrush, berry 
bushes, etc., which had grown up in the orchard. The tenant was 
paid for all work in the orchard, which was reserved by the owner, 
who thus had the entire income from it. Two sprayings were made, 
using a hand pump, the first just before the trees came into bloom and 
the second just after the blossoms had fallen. Table V shows the cost 
of renovation and the income derived from the orchard.
