Care of Fruit Trees.—Are we guiltless if we always take from the tree and return to it little or nothing? Has man nothing to do, that he may receive and enjoy these luscious and health-giving fruits? Should he merely set the roots of a tree into the soil and then leave it to combat with starvation and neglect, as thousands of trees throughout New England are left to do? Ride through the country and notice the many orchards standing, sod-bound and in wet undrained soil perhaps, with all that can be grown from the soil in the way of hay and pasture taken off and not a pennysworth of fertilizer added to it for the trees. Not a dead limb cut out, to say nothing of those chafing or growing crossways, not an insect destroyed; and the poor tree, how it is trying to do its best while the owner, who has neglected every essential thing on his part for successful results, exclaims, “It don’t pay to raise fruit.” I knew a farmer who plowed his field for corn and planted it, but who never cultivated, plowed or hoed it. He had no corn. Did he deserve any? He said it did not pay to raise corn. I know another farmer who prepared his ground nicely for corn, planted and cared for it intelligently, and received upwards of a hundred bushels of shell corn per acre. He was amply paid for his care and expense. He said it paid him.—Edward Hoyt before the Mass. Hort. Society.
