Cultivation.
There are two principal objects in
cultivaung the orchard. In the first
place, cultivation. as explained in ar
ticie No. >. liberates plant food and so
enables the plant 10 make a faster
growth. IL is wasteful practice 10
apply fertilizers 10 the orchard until
you have made the fertility that is al
ready there available by cultivation.
The second reason FOR tillage is TO
conserve moisture and promote deep
roofing. The upper layer Of n cultivat-
ed soil is dry, and in consequence the
roots VIII turn downward 10 seek a
layer i'm which there is more moisture.
At the same time the upward rise OF
water Icy capillarity is checked Just ar
the dry layer, SO that little is lost by
evaporation. IL is very important 10

moisture for orchard trees. since they

As the trees come into bearing the
growth OF cultivated crop between

eSsary if the best results are 10 be Sc
cured. One OF the best means TO give
this is by blowing and preparing the
soil IN the spring and then sowing
clover or some legume as a catch crop
This will supply the soil with nitrogen
and humus and keep it in good phys
ical condition. Calves. sheep or hogs
may be turned into the orchard in the
fall 10 eat the clover. or it may be
plowed under the next spring.
The trees Will be so large by this

tivate close TO them. nor is this neces-
sary. since the feeding roots are far
Their out in the spaces between the
rows. The space close around the
trees may be seeded to blue grass or
some other pprenniaI
As the orchard gets older it may be
left in clover for two Oh three years
at time. An occasional blowing and
reseeding will be necessary TO renew
the clover md to prevent the orchard
from becoming sod bound. If used as
n hog pasture the hogs viii keep the
soil lOosened up sufficiently, at the
same time adding considerable fertil-
ity. In such a case all the treatment
that is necessary is an occasional re-.
