APPLES 
Apple trees should be planted 30 to 40 feet apart and where they can be 
conveniently reached for spraying. They respond to good cultivation, fertil- 
ization and care as much as does corn or other crops. They can be planted 
in sod if an area of 4 to 5 feet in diameter around the tree is dug up cand kept 
cultivated or mulched with strawy manure. A new planting can be inter- 
planted to small fruit or garden truck for several years.
