APPLES 
Every home should have some fruit if there is at all room. Some summer 
apples or cherries in your own yard are a pleasure to watch grow and de- 
velop. As the fruit ripens what a satisfaction it is to gather your own apples 
or strawberries or even gooseberries if you like them. 
Apples are the most popular fruit and one of the easiest to raise. Plant 
from 25 to 40 ft. apart depending on your situation. A commercial orchard 
should be planted 40x40- or 40x30 or another system is to plant 40x20 and re- 
move every second tree when they begin to crowd. The soil should have 
good drainage and be well fertilized. Apples will do fine in sod if heavily fed 
and the weeds kept mowed. Be sure to clean the grass a foot away from each
