Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture the article notes how pruning old neglected orchards can revive fruit production. In Bamberg County South Carolina a demonstration over a year and a half showed heavy pruning followed by summer cultivation restoring growth and eliminating scale, yielding a good crop and a healthier orchard.
The article explains that the key influence on next year’s berry crop occurs in the summer after frosting. Young canes grow vigorously to prepare for fruiting the next season, with nature sending up multiple canes from one root. It warns neglect after fruiting can harm the following crop.
Experimental work with chicks and old hens shows vegetable proteins from ground soybean meal and cottonseed meal can replace animal proteins in poultry feed when supplemented by essential minerals. Granulated bone has been effective in supplying these minerals with vegetable protein feeds.
Poultry manure is described as the most valuable animal fertilizer, containing more than twice the ammonia and phosphate of seep manure and more than four times that of horse manure. It can be kept in good condition with little labor and attention, yet has often been wasted.
A recent test by leading orchardists finds the fruit tree fertilizer most effective uses five pounds of nitrate of soda or four pounds of sulphate of ammonia plus five pounds of acid phosphate. The mix is applied in a circle under the outer branch ends and worked into soil about four inches deep.
