Range Orchard, two miles south of Bedford, adjoining
the Bear Creek and and Burrell orchards, and now offer
a limited number of the choicest orchard tracts for sate
on reasonable terms.
This is your opportunity to secure bearing orefcard,
r young orchard, or both bearing and yoM orchard,
consisting bf the choicest varieties of pears and applM
The tracts range In size from five to 27 acre. The sod
is the best in the valley Bear creek bottom land. The
old trees on these tracts have produced record breaking
srops that brought record prices in eastern markets for
years past.
No such chance was ever offered before to secure
such orchard tracts.

4 The npple and pear, to be a source
of profit here, should be planted on j
the be.st alluvial soils along the j
streams, or if the hill lands are
chosen, they must be deep, and ai
greater depth would be better. There
are no soils too good und rich to
grow the best apples und pears, says
A. 11. Carson in bis annuul report as
horticultural commissioner for this
district. The success and pro
fits of the Hogne River val
ley applo and pear grower are
in proportion to the good quality
of the soil his orchards are planted
on und the attention he gives to de
tails in its management. As shal
low soil will spell failure if planted
to the apple and pear, unless water
is nvailnhle for irrigation during the
months of August and September.
However, it must be remembered
that not all shallow soils are adapt
ed to irrigation. To irrigate with
profit, the subsoil must be right. If j
the subsoil is wrong, irrigation would :
be detrimental. A shallow loam soil
two and one-half feet deep, resting
on decomposed bedrock or broken
bedrock or loose gravel would be all
right for irrigation.
Irrigation Beneficial
Irrigation, if intelligently done.
would be a great benefit to an apple
or pear orchard on such land, for
the reason that the surplus water in
irrigating would readily drain off
through the gravel and bedrock with
out injury to the growing tree, on the
the other hand, should a shallow soil
rest on a clay subsoil or cement
hardpan, irrigation would be detri
mental to the growing of apple and
pear trees. To successfully irrigate
fruit trees on any of our soils here
under drainage must be had to carry
off the surplus water during the ir
rigation period. These shallow soils
with a elay subsoil or cement haitl
pan can be made available for applo
and pear growing by tiling to a depth
of not less than five feet.
Must Understand Subsoil
Where irrigation is resorted to the
conditions of the subsoil in relation
to the growth of the tree must be in-
tellingeatly understood. The mechan
ical effect on shallow soils by mi
ller drainage with tile is to deepen the
soil to the depth thn tile is laid. Dur
um winter rains the surplus water
where land is tiled is drained through
the soil and passes off through the
I Mt i tnl iinr tli friii I I nf from
injury from excessive moisture during I
protnu'tt'd rain storms of winter '
keeping it healthy and vigorous dur
ing the dormant period. -;o that when j
it quickens into growth in tin- spring j
it is in the best xsible condition to j
grow and responds to the skill and
cultivation of its owner. Again,
while the mechanical effect of under
drainage is to deepen I he soil and 1
cany off the surplus moisture, para- '
doxieal as it may appear, under-
drainage makes these shallow soils
moist during the growing period. Dur
ing the growing period the moisture
laden air pa.-ses through the tile and
its moisture is condensed and left in
the oil for the growing tree. In fact
with ihormigh. intelligent cultivation ;
where lhe-e shallow -soils are proper
ly iinderdraiued, but little water is
ueee-;iry for irriiMt inn dtninir the
drve-t season.
