Clover in Orchards.

"Acer" holds in the Country
Gentleman of May 30, that clover
is hurtful in orchards, and he cites
his experience. This is right. But
there is an experience the other
way. In some orchards we have
known clover TO affect nothing,
either on the growth or the fruit
fulness of the trees. This is the
case with our orchards, and many
other trees and orchards that we
know OF.
1t is all owing to the soil. A
deep, rich, mellow soil will grow
your trees uninteITuptedly what
ever may take place at the sur
face. The roots penetrate so deeply
that they are out of the reach of
the influence of surface treatment
Even clover, with its long tap-root,
reaches not the main roots of the
trees, which are known TO pene-
trate eight to ten feet and more in
such soil.
But if the soil is shallow, and the
roots lie at the top, different state
Of things takes place at once. The
roots are where the clover, and
even the grasses, as well as the roots
Of the grains, reach them, and alb
stract their strength. A rich
(surface) soil is soon reduced by
the trees alone. If the grasses are
added, the deterioration goes on all
the more rapidly. In this case
sclover and the grasses should be
kept out; the orchard should be
cultivated rs field of corn is cul-
tivated-made 4 speciality. Stir the
soil the fore part Of the season, and
mulch ut the commencement OF
drouth or the heats of summer.
But manure, ia such case, wants to
be added. 1t will have an imme-
date effect, and be q decided bene-
fit; and vegetable manure is best
leaves applied in the fall at that.
twill thus be seen that we arc
10 treat our orchards according Ia
the nature Of the soil. 1t would be
the extreme of folly TO run YOU

the surface, where an inhospitabl'
and hard subsoil will direct them
But an alluvial soil of grea

dense, sod-bound surface, grow but
too much wood and fruit, especially
the former. And such trees you
cannot root9prune; you must dig q
canal to get at them. gals
1 We have thus had an orchard
eight years in sod, and, the result
was the same as when it was culti-
waited. This is an old orchard.
| Our only treatment is with the
branches in pruning. We cannot
reach the roots, which are buried
deep in the alluEial deposit.
by the side of these trees, on
the same ground, young orchard
is established. At first cultivation
was the order, and the trees grew
rapidly. For a few years a sod
has covered the ground, preceded
by clover. There is slight check
TO the growth, but not yet enough /
to ensure good crops. There is
too much wood growth the
Northern Spies are absolutely |
barren. In few years the grass
will have no effect; the roots will |
be beyond its reach.
Manure in the old orchard has
no effect, only to stimulate the
grass or crop grown on the surface. |
Potatoes were grown on a part of |
the orchard, and oats the next
year, but without any visible effect
on the trees. The crops realized
the usual amount, both in the tree
and the grain and tuber. Il
Glover will hurt an orchard the |
first few years, till it is run out.
We mean here an orchard on poor
or shallow soil, where the clover
while growing abstracts from the
strength of the soil needed by the /
trees. But after that is a benefit, 1
and considerable one. The /
vegetable matter of the roots of |
the clover is the plant food wanted ,
by the roots of the trees Manure
added just previous TO or at the
time of sowing the clover
might remedy the drain up
on the soil. But it is, as we
have said, probably best to give the
entire strength OF the soil to the
cultivating it where the
soil is poor (and porous,) or the
roots lie near the surface, adding
manure (vegetable) as is needed.
Only in deep-rooting soil may
,rees be grown and the soil treated
With impunity, and in such case,
where the pruning and the distance
between the trees secure air and
the yield of grain or
grass will be nearly equal to com
non field culture. Corn probably
hould be excepted. But most
,rops may be grown to advantage.
irass, however, should be the crop
crown in an orchard, broken occas
to reseed or renovate the v
oil if necessary. But it is not gen
rally needed; a sod may be con-
inued, doing good service, while :
he roots (of the trees) do their
york below, affording a double crop /
o the owner. The grass may be
OPP dressed with fertilizers, and the
ay crop made an advantage, cut
ing two crops in a season, with a II
God aftermath TO follow. Thus
