HOW TO KEEP YOUR
ORCHARD VERY FERTILE
Some Timely Advice Given the Fruit
Growers by Prof. PaddOX of the
State Agricultural College.

How to keep up the fertility of Or
chard lands is problem which our
orcharlists are beginning to con-
slider more and more. Not that there
Is yet crying need for fertilizers,
but it must be apparent to all think
ing men that the enormous drain ON
fertility cannot be continued indefi-
nitely. Fortunately commercial fer
tilizers are out of our reach on ac-
count of high prices. Barnyard ma
nure is no very big item in the or
chard districts, but fortunately green
manures are within the reach of all.
Clean cultivation of orchards is all
right within certain limits, but in
many sections of Colorado this prac-
tice has certainly been carried too
far. All Colorado soils are lacking
in organic matter, and If it is added
by plowing under stubble. green
crops, or manure, it does not last
for any very great length of time
So. the supply must be constantly
renewed. Green manure has been
used in few orchards here and there
over the state with good rsults, but
in the majority of instances the soil
is puddled and lifeless from long con-
tinued clean cultivation.
Organic matter does many things
Tor SOILS, but the one important thing
for us to consider in this connection
is that it sets free some of the locked
up plant food elements. All our
soils contain an abundance of fer
tility, but it is mostly in forms which
are useless to plants.
The decay of vegetable matter gen.
crates materials which decompose the
soil particles, and also promotes var
ious soil activities. All these work
ing together are continually making
food elements available. And the
family of plants which includes the
clovers, beans, peas, and alfalfa, ac-
tually add fertility to the soil
The use of cover crops in orchards
has become general in many states.
but so far Colorado orchardists have
given the matter little attention:
however, many fruit growers are
considering the subject.
1t is impossible to give definite in
structions as to what crop will be
best suited to Colorado conditions, or
just how 1t should be managed. The
only way these questions can be
settled is for a number of men in the
various localities to experiment with
different crops, time of planting, and
methods of handling. If this is done,
we will soon have a mass of reliable
data from which Colorado system
of green manuring may be evolved.
