Early Cultivation Of Orchard Important

Now is the time to keep the fruit
ground well cultivated. The primary
object in cultiyating orchard land in
Oklahoma is 10 save moisture, conse-
Quentiy cultivation should not be de-
layed until the moisture has more or
less escaped. After each rain, as soon
Is the ground can be handled, II should
be thoroughly cultivated. The delay Of
a day Is frequently OF vital Importance.
This is OF particular necessity In the
case OF orchards because the injury
THAI will come from neglect will show
for some years after.
Anyone who has travelled over an
extent OF western United States and
observed agricultural practice is struck
by the fact that the yearly rainfall has
but little to do with the suffering OF
plants from drouth. In many parts Of
the region lying between the Rocky
Mountains and the Pacific coast the
rainfall Is less than in most parts OF
Oklahoma and yet they never have
drouths. The difference lies in the
form and time OF the rains. Their
rain comes Ia the winter In the form
Of slov drizzles which last for days
This rain all sinks into the ground,
and Il care is taken to cultivate early
in the spring before the moisture has
time to be drawn TO the top Of the
ground and be eyaporated fruits can
be and are raised successfully whore
the annual precipitation Is less than
twenty inches. Under the conditions

there prevailing dust cover made on
the surface Of the soil Ia late spring
will lasr till fail as there are Bn rains
at that season to form a crust
While it is more difficult it dOss not
seem to be impossible to keep this
dust cover on Oklahoma orchards. II
requires little more OF care perhaps
but the additional time and labor Is
more than made up by our added near
ness TO market and consequent saving
In transportation charges on fruit.
The great difficulty usually is that
the Oklahoma fruit grower has more
land than he can look after. He gau-
ges the amount OF land he can handle
by the acreage he can keep clean Of
weeds. The presence or absence OF
weeds is in truth very minor factor
in determing the welfare OF an Okla
homa orchard. An orchard may be
woefully neglected and never show q
weed and on the other hand on certain
seasons and at certain times In tho
season the presence OF weeds in an
orchard may be positively beneficial.
The prime object always should be to
keep dust mulch Of three or four inch
SO thickness constantly present on the
surface Of the soil. As fast as a rain
forms crust the team and harrow
should break 1t up. In this war enough
Of the moisture may be saved SO that
even on a dry season the trees Will
show little or no effects OF the drouth.
