In the management of the bearing
orchard. one of the most important
factors to consider Ia the handling of
the soil. There are three methods, oc.
casionally with some notifications.
commonly used In the manipulation Of
the soil Orchard cropping. sod mulch
and the tillage system.
The former of these is the one most
commonly practiced in the average
home orchard. 1t ia the one which
gives least satisfactory results. The
cropping may be of the nature OF the
removal of grain or grass crop, or
using the orchard as pasture In
either one Of these methods the fertil-
ity of the orchard soil Is reduced and
sooner or later must result In de-
creased production of fruit and les
sened tree growth.
Very frequently the system of grow.
ing grass and removing the crop Of
hay, or of leaving the orchard as pas
ture land, Is mistaken for the sod
mulch, and persons not distinguishing
between these two systems lay claim
to the fact that they are practising the
sod mulch which has been recommend
ed by some Of the experiment stations
II should be distinctly understood that
the removal Of crop of grass. either
as hay or by pasturage. Is not the sod
mulch system, and that the advantages
claimed for the sod mulch are not Sc
cured by this means.
Sod Mulch-The sod mulch system
was devised primarily for use on or
chard sites where the declivity OF the
land was such as to make cultivation
during the growing season undesira-
BILE, due to the washing OF the soil. II
consists In growing grass upon the or
chard, later cutting II and piling #
around the base OF the tree. II has
also more recently come TO include the
addition of other litter. This system
reduces soil washing. but some OF the
other advantages claimed for It are
rather doubtful. II rs not the best
method Of conserving soil moisture. be

hillsides where washing occurs, is EN-.
ployed by those who favor the tillage
system. but whose orchard sites lose
soil by washing This method simply
consists in growing across the hillside

young, and in the row when the trees
are older This prevents washing OF

then sowing a cover crop to take up
excessive moisture and mature the
