Roeborough horticulturist for the
A A M College extension service
half an acre of fruit trees wtll
produce as much tonnage as a
bale of cotton, or almost as much
poundage as an acre of corn
Pound for pound it is worth more
than either crop
December marks the beginning |
of the tree-planting season In'
Texas
In planting a backyard orchard
he cautions, be sure the trees are :
not overshadowed by shade tree*
By allowing 20 to 30 feet between
peach trees 25 feet for plums 40
for pears and apples and 50 for
pecans, they will grow tnor*
rapidly and bear larger fruit
For choice of trees and method
of setting them out. Rosborough
suggests seedlings two to three
feet high which, he explains,
should'not be planted deeper than :
they stood in thr nursery row*
For a backyard planting trees four ,
to five feel ,»r even larger would
prove more satisfactory After
setting them fill the hole with!
good soil and parX It around the
roots Then pour in a bucket or'
two or water to settle the earth. >
and tie sure there la plenty of
moisture thereafter to star'- off
the tree to healthful growth
Wrap thr tsdv of the trees
with paper for possible damage bv
rabbits The paper may be left j
on during the succeeding growing
season, but live top portion can be)
torn off to permit buds to come
nit and permit unhindered growth
through the spring and summer
Nutritionists tell us that the
average person needs about JOD
pound* of fruit of mmr kind each
year Rosborough say* They
tell us that w- should have at
least one bountiful serving a day
The best source of supply is a
backyard or farm fruit plot Talk
to v i ! county ritditlM agent:
about your fruit needs Don't let ^
