MOISTURE IN ORCHARD SOIL

fpv WAITER b. LEUTzD


As water is the means OF circulation
of plapts as well as of animals there
fore II is OF prime Importance that
water be present In the soil. in order
that the plant food in the soil may be
taken up by the trees.
Many orchards have sufficient avail
able plant food. but lack water at that
critical period while the tree is fruit
making. II a soil lacks water some
form of fertilizers are a positive de-
triment II they are present in abund'
ance.
The chief elements Of success In pre-
naring an orchard soil for the best re-
suits may be summed up as:
Removing surplus water from the
soil The conservation of plenty of
moisture. The judicious use of manure
and cover crops. The use of potash
and phosphoric acid in available forms
Cultivation to keep mulch. Reduc
ing the number of trees per acre by
Withholding nitrogen, and increasing
rho amount OF mineral matter. by the
use of wind breaks. by mulching. by

out when the pot is inverted" But
That method cannot be approved, as

But 1t is not only in reporting that
we wish TO take a plant from the
pot Often we wish to examine the
roots or the soil or the drainage,
and the easiest way to do 1t is to
place the fingers over the soil, in

ledge of the table. The manner of
grasping the pot is shown in the H.

well to thoroughly water the plant,
