I Prohlem of a Small Apple Orchard 
1. It Ls my intention this Spring to set 
out in the Orange Mountain section of 
New Jersey a small commercial orchard. 
My most important prohlem has been 
the selecting of the right varieties to suc¬ 
ceed commercially in my .soil and climate. 
Soil is a fairly heavy clay loam, with 
no artificial drainage and a fair natural 
drainage. It has been worked with corn 
tw’o years and will not lack for barnyard 
manure. The plan of my orchard is as 
follows: I would set out permanent and 
“filler" trees. The peiananeiit trees I 
would place 40 feet apart in the row and 
the I’ows I would place 40 feet apart, 
Baldwins alternating with delicious, to 
pollcnize the Baldwins would he my choice 
for the pennanent trees, ily '“fillers” 
would he M'ealthy and a few peach trees. 
^ 2. A friend with soil and location 
similar to mine would appreciate your 
criticism of the following varieties for 
commercial purposes: Ifou Davis. Bald¬ 
win. York Imperial, Wealthy and 
Delicious. 6 B s 
Wi'st Draiige, N. J. 
1. AYhere one has a comparativoly 
small orchard of apjiles, there should he 
no dilliculty from proper i»olliuation of 
the flowers, even where several rows of a 
.single variety are planted in a block. In 
other words, satisfactory pollination 
would result if you were to plant your 
Delicious and Baldwin api)les in alter- 
nali' rows, or even where you plant two 
rows of Delicious and then two rows of 
Bahlwin. The orchard would also look 
somewhat more uniform aud he somewhat 
easier to spraj’ and manage. 
Beach trees may be used as fillers be¬ 
tween the apple trees of -one row, if you 
•ii.se care in .spra.viug. The peach foliage 
may he hurned seriously by such sprays 
as concentrated lime-sulphur diluted 1-40, 
which is often used successfull.v on ap¬ 
ples. Concentrated lime-sulphur as di¬ 
lute as 1-100 sometimes burns pejich 
foliage seriously. It is not safe to use 
cojipm* sprays, such as Bordeaux, iiiion 
peach foliage in thi.s State. This fact 
.s'hould he kept in mind when one is con- 
.sidering the filler system of orchard 
planting. 
2. The Staymau Wiiu'sai) i'^ ^ variety 
that will come into hearing earlier than 
the Baldwin, and will produce more con¬ 
sistent crops. The Baldwin is inclined 
to bear heavy crojis in alternate years, 
with little or no fruit in the off years. 
AVealthy is one of the best vari<‘ties to 
use as a filler, since the tree never be¬ 
comes very large, aud it come.s in heai’- 
ing early in its life. In I’egard to the 
varieties Ben Davis aud York Imperial, 
I would not recommend their idanting in 
Northern New Jersey. It is ]>erhaps onl.v 
fair to .say that Ben Davis is hardy, aud 
jiroductive, and has been ver.v profitable 
in the past, hut I believe that such vnri- 
ties will •become increasingly difficult to 
sell in the future. New varieties are 
being scieivtifically bred at the present 
time, and the public will gradually de¬ 
mand better varieties than Ben Davis. 
I believe the same is true of York Im¬ 
perial. In Northern New .Jersey near 
the larger towns, there is an opportunity 
to supply jteople locally with fruit.. 
They will always be able to get apiiles 
ecpial 'to Ben Davis aud York Imperial 
from all iiarts of the country. It will 
not be quite so easy to get apples of the 
quality of McIntosh, Crimes Colden, 
Delicious and Staymau. Baldwin is not 
classed as of exoe{>tionally liigh quality, 
hut is in gr(>at demand as a cooking and 
baking ajiple, and is preferred by many 
as a dessei't apple. McIntosh Bed ripens 
a little later than M'ealthy in the Fall, 
and is a 'high quality cooking and dessert 
apple. jM. a. BLAKE. 
Propagating Norway Maple 
How is Norway maple propagated? 
Champaign, Ill. L. E. B. 
Norway maple is nsuall.v propagated 
by grafting or budding on our common 
native seoLlling stocks, very often on the 
silver or white maple, budding biung most 
coininoiilj^ practiced, which is done in mid¬ 
summer. This is a very ea.sy method of 
liropagation; anyone nnderstauding bud¬ 
ding will find no trouble in propagating 
by tills method, 'fhe stocks should Ije 
not over a half to three-fourths of an 
inch in diameter, and the buds should he 
set as near the surface of the ground as 
possible. When the budded tree is trans¬ 
planted or set permanently, it must 
be set deep enough to cover the union a 
couple of inches or so. k.

M ore mbber between layers separates tbe 
plies of fabric, an elastic wall allowing 
free play without friction. More cushion stock, 
pure rubber between fabric and tread as a pro¬ 
tection against shock and injury. 
Reinforcement in head and side vjall greatly 
increases strength at junction point. 
The tough, thick tread gives many more miles 
of wear with a safe hold. 
These values to such, a hi^h degree are new to fabric tires. 
Firestone engineers arrived at these unequaled results by- 
applying some of the principles established in developing 
Firestone Cord Tires. Ask your 
dealer to show you a cross section 
sample. Meantime write for our 
book No. 18 on “Howto Increase 
Tire Mileage.” It’s free and will 
show you how to save some money 
no matter what tires you use. 
See your dealer. If he is not 
ready, he can promptly be sup¬ 
plied from the nearest Firestone 
Branch.
