The disadvantage of having grass or
growing crops in an orchard is not en-
tirely due to the chance of the crops
robbing the soil of fertility needed by
the trees. If it was it would be easily
remedied by the manure applied to the
hoed crops, of which the trees would
get their share, or by turning sheep
INTO the orchard to eat the grass and
the fallen wormy fruit, who would en-
rich the soil by their droppings. But
the greater trouble comes from the
summer and fall droughts when the
trees need all the moisture to perfect
their fruit. If the grass or other sur
face crop takes it there will be large
amount of fruit fall which might have
been saved if there had been moisture
enough to carry it through to matur-
fly. Where water can be supplied by
irrigation this difficulty is not as great.
