Fall Orchard Notes and Frugal Farm Tips
Fall orchard notes advise packing fruit for sale in bright packages to fetch top prices and mowing weeds in orchards and berry patches. Prune raspberry and blackberry wood before winter, cut back new growth, and spray fruit trees with whitewash to destroy oyster shell bark louse, noting San Jose scale is resistant. Water from creameries for irrigation is praised as prudent where rainfall is scant, and a Linnean Society report describes the telegraph plant’s leaflets rising like semaphore signs every roughly three and a half minutes due to electric disturbance.
