Apples 
Clay or clay loam is the best soil for growing 
Apples. The land should be plowed well and deep 
before setting the trees. It should, of course, be well 
drained and kept thoroughly cultivated. Too much 
emphasis cannot be put on the importance of drain¬ 
age; recent investigation has shown that a surplus 
of water in the orchard produces fruit of an inferior 
quality and flavor. The expense of tilling or ditch¬ 
ing is not to bo compared with the profits that are 
derived from an orchard that is properly drained and 
cultivated. 
Plant Apple trees 23 to 40 feet apart, each way, ac¬ 
cording to soil.
