feet from = row of eucalyptus trees, did
not grow well. Extra allowances Of
wnter and dressing had NO improving
effect Finally he dug down beside the
orange trees and fot.nd a network Of
roots coming from the eucalyptus
trees. They were absorbing the water
that belonged to the orange trees. The
orchardist thereupon dug q trench the
whole length OF the row and chopped
on all the eucalyptus roots that he en-
eountered- For a year the orange
trees did finely. Then the eucalyptus
roots, having grown out again, caused
the orange trees to suffer for water.
The owner thereupon cut the eucaIyp
