prevent the loss of moisture from
the soil.
There is very little grass land
that will supply a sufficient amount
of plant food to produce vigor-
Gus growth of fruit trees while they
are yet small and afford no shade
to the soil. But as the cut grass
accumulates on the ground, and as
the trees afford more shade, the
supply of plant food will increase
until little or no artificial plant
food need be added to keep up a
healthy vigorous growth and to
produce large crops of fine fruit.
Another problem to be solved by
the fruit grower is the reduction in
the cost or producing une crop.
Orchard land that is free from
large stones can be easily and
cheaply cultivated with the modern
orchard harrows and cultivators
and the needed plant food largely
supplied and the moisture retained.
This system probably offers the
greatest profit for the capital in
vested.
