HOED CROPS IN THE ORCHARD
Practice Results In Severe Damage 10
Annual PIantlngs-How to
Reckon the Distance.

One OF the most prolific causes OF
loss OF nursery stock after trans
planting, or for several years there
after is this common practice of too
close growing of hoed crops. This
practice, says Rural Life, results in
severe damages to the annual plant
ings. The loss amounts possibly to
10 per cent. The too common prac-
tice is to- allow no more space be-
tween the tree row and the intercept
rows than between two inter-crop
rows, be the inter-crops cabbage,
beans, potatoes or corn. Such dis
tances vary from 80 inches to 31s
feet, according to crop used OF
