The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-12-01

Dr. J. r. Wallace, of Kennewick
Wash, writes under date of November
6: GIVE us an article on clover in
young orchards" AS rule l would
not grow clover in young orchard
The only object in growing such a crop
in an orchard would be to add nitro
gen to the soil. Glover, like all the
legumes, is a great nitrogen gatherer
But generally our soils in this part
of our great country are not deficient
in that element of fertility If the
soil in any given locality should lack

nitrogen I would much prefer to grow
clover or alfalfa before the trees are
planted. If clover is grown in such
soils for two or three years and then
a crop is turned under and allowed to
rot, you not only secure nitrogen, but
humus, and the latter helps the soil
mechanically; that is, it breaks up
it's adhesiveness and makes it looser.
| prefer clean culture for young or
chard. Some kind of hOed crop may
be raised in a young orchard without
serious damage. Older orchards may
reach that point where we must add
fertility to the soil Some one has
compared a tree feeding from the soil
to a COW fastened to stake. When
she has eaten everything in her reach
she will starve if some kind of nutri-
ment is not carried to her. Just what
is best to give to our soils in our old
orchards is an important thing to
know. Clover alfalfa, COW peas, soy
beans, vetch and, in short, all the leg
umes will furnish the nitrogen. IL
potash or phosphoric acid is needed
then commercial fertilizers may have
to be used.
In one of our eastern exchanges l
have read a very sensible article from
H. e. VanDeman. Some one wrote
him asking if he thought he could
succeed in raising peaches in GER
tain locality in Virginia. VanDeman
answered that he knew of an orchard
in that section of country that had
proven quite a success and he knew
no reason why the same might not
be done where the inquirer lived, II
properly managed, and then added:
Success in such cases depends very
largely upon the man behind the
trees" There is wisdom in that re-
mark. Much depends on the man in
all the pursuits of life. In all kinds
of bnusiess there are failures ana
successes, and this is true in the
same locality and under very much
the same conditions. Climate and soil
are important factors in fruit growing,
but brains and push must be behind
the trees. Just the other day l re-
ceived letter from minister in one
of the New England states asking
some questions about fruit growing. 1t

to take delivery, adding
