The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
A Farm Orchard Problem 
Replacing Old Trees. —The farmers 
of our fertile valley have never special¬ 
ized in apple growing, but rather in dairy¬ 
ing. Yet the farm apple orchard lias al¬ 
ways been considered here its an import¬ 
ant asset, for not only do these orchards 
yield a plentiful supply for the farmer’s 
own use, but there is almost always a 
surplus for market during a normal crop 
season. Buyers from a distance secure 
many carloads from our farmers, and be¬ 
sides the neighboring towns are supplied 
at retail. Some of these orchards are a 
hundred years old. and many of the older 
ones have seen their best days. For 
years, while these old orchards were in 
their prime, little tree-planting was done, 
except to replace a dead tree tn the old 
orchard. As more modern methods were 
learned and adopted this replacing meth¬ 
od was abandoned, and the better plan 
took its place by which a half acre or 
so was fenced off and new trees planted. 
Some of these young orchards are now 
hearing, and another 10 years will prob¬ 
ably see a thrifty bearing orchard on 
almost every farm. It is well that these 
young orchards exist, for notwithstand¬ 
ing much attention has been paid to prun¬ 
ing and spraying the old apple trees have 
disappeared rapidly during the last 10 
years. Blights of various kinds are the 
general cause, though some orchards died 
of scale before spraying was understood 
or practiced, and some trees died because 
of too severe dishorning. 
Pasture and Tillage.— The old or¬ 
chards are never cultivated, but left in 
sod. with an occasional top-dressing of 
manure. Sheep and hogs arc pastured in 
the orchard till the dropping apples in¬ 
terfere. These old trees were trained 
high. The young orchards .are cultivated 
md planted to such crops as potatoes and 
vegetables. When spraying first became 
a necessity, because of San Jose scale, a 
few farmers purchased spraying outfits 
and attempted to do the work themselves. 
But other farm work often interfered 
with doing the spraying in the right way 
and especially at the time. Commercial 
pruning and spraying soon became a busi¬ 
ness, and most of the work is now done 
by a few men who have the knowledge

Increased Expenses. -The price of 
apples here was never large, as we are 
too far from city markets. But 10 years 
ago. when the wholesale price of apples 
was about 50 cents the bushel, then labor 
and spraying materials were also cheap, 
and the men who make a business of or¬ 
chard work were able to perform their 
services at a comparatively low figure. 
As the price of labor and spray mixtures 
advanced the wholesale price of apples 
advanced with them, until last year the 
farmers realized about $3.50 the bushel 
wholesale. Last Spring the pruning and 
spraying was done at the highest price 
over paid, but last Fall at picking time 
the farmers were glad to wholesale their 
apples at 50 and 00 cents the bushel! 
The price scarcely paid for the picking 
from the higher trees, and much fruit was 
allowed to go to waste. Farmers were 
late with their corn husking, and in order 
to save some of the apples they offered 
the half for picking, but the State road 
contractors were paying 50c an hour for 
labor, so the laboring people, realizing the 
uncertainty of selling any surplus ap¬ 
ples. would pick on shares only what they 
needed for their own use. It is needless 
to say that the situation is not encour¬ 
aging. The orchard workmen can of 
course make some reductions in their 
charges, but even then some farmers will 
hardly feel justified in incurring much 
expense with their orchards this season. 
Besides a light annual pruning which 
most of the oi'chards receive, a dormant 
spray is given with lime-sulphur in 
Spring and one fruit spray just after the 
petals fall. This program has been pretty 
well carried out for a number .of years 
and entails considerable expense, as every¬ 
thing is hired done. 
Future Prospects.— It is probable 
that a majority of farmers will “try 
again." though some will drop out. Most 
of these farmers are prosperous and not 
dependant on their apple crop for their 
income, and desire to preserve their or¬ 
chards if only for the sake of their home 
supply of fruit. Still they are reluctant 
to have even one product unprofitable.
