furrow where each row of trees are to be. Dig wide and deep holes, 
especially if soil is hard. Use fine moist surface soil to fill around 
roots, setting tree about same depth it grew in nursery, but leaving 
a basin of some extent around tree to catch water from rains, This 
plan is especially good where there is a slope that allows water to 
run off. Do not allow basin to fill in by cultivation for a few years. 
When finally leveled up the tree is some deeper than it grew in 
nursery. All limbs of newly set trees should be cut back about two- 
thirds of last year’s growth. 
One row of small fruits may be planted between the tree rows 
and dug out in about ten years, when the trees will be larger, and will 
need all the moisture. Some little crop, like potatoes or corn, may be 
grown in the orchard the first two or three years, but never plant 
anything close enough to trees to use the moisture they can reach 
with their roots. Never allow weeds to grow at any time; you need 
the moisture for the trees. These rules are mainly for growing fruits 
with the natural rainfall on dry subsoil land.
