teen to twenty feet apart and be given
clean culture during the early part Of
the growing season. In this respect,
they do not differ from other fruits. A
fairly well established principal In or
chard management Is that the ground
should not be left bare during winter.
Intensive tillage tends to diminish the
supply of humus (organic mattcr)
without which the soil becomes inert,
dense and unproductive. Again, on
hilly lands, bare ground washes injur-
iously during the winter months. the
better soil being carried by surface
waters to lower levels. "Cover-crops'
