30 feet is none too far, while grapes are
often planted in rows six feet apart and
eight to ten feet apart in the row.
There are several sv-terns of setting
out an orchard. The first is the rectan­
gular or square method in which the
trees are set in squares. The chief ad­
vantage of this system is that it enables
easv cultivation to be done. Its disad­
vantage is that the tree are not ail
equally distant, the diagonals lieing
greater than the sides. The second
system is the hexagonal. It is set out
on the basis of the circle, the distance
between the trees being equal to the ra­
dius of the circle. Thus we have six
trees in a hexagon, with one tree in the
center. Thy* advantage of this method
is that the trees are all equally distant,
but its disadvantage is that if the trees
are set too closely they cannot he easily
removed to advantage; for, ii you take
out any trees, it will still leave some
trees crowded, while other parts of the
orchard will have large spaces. The
third method is the quincunx—one rar -
lv used but probably tin* best of all.
By this system four trees constitute a
square and a fifth is set in the center of
each square. The orchard can be set
out w ith tiie idea that the square will

permanent and that tin* fifth
tree, in the center, will he removed
when crowding occurs. This center
tree can be some early maturing tr* e,
like Wagner. The following table
shows the number of trees per acre by
each system:

IlICTRICUY FOR LIGHTING IS ONLY EXPENSIVE TO PEOPLE
WHO ARE WASTEUl AND CAREIESS.
10 YOU. WHO ARE
NATURALLY CAREFUL, II DOES NOT COME HIGH.
It is economical because it can be quickly turned off when not needed. With
gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when not needed, to
save bother of lighting and adjusting, In some homes the electric light bill
amounts to only about $2 per mouth. You can probably get some kind of artifi­
cial light for less money than electric light, but does itsaveyou anything wh en i
limits opportunities for work and recreation, ruins your eyesight, smokes vour
Wj^lls, mars decora .ions and increases household work. You can probably
save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals, but it wouldn’t he econ­
omy. It is not so much what you save, but, how you save, that counts. We
are always ready to explain the “ins and outs” of the lighting proposition to
you, Call on us or phone to us. We are never too busy to talk business.
