In seasons OF drought like those
Nlnch Kentucky and adjacent states
have recently been passing. the
production OF our orchards as well
as our staple field crops is subject
to a very serious reduction through
lack Of sufficient soil moisture to
perfect the young orchard fruits.
The methods Of avoiding or check
ling this loss in the orchard are
the same in principle as those
adopted in producing full crop OF
corn or other field crop. The most
effective and usually the cheapest
plan is to keep up a frequent shall
low cultivation OF the soil with the
spike tooth. or acme harrow, or
some other surface working imple-
ment.
The necessity Of this frequent cul-
tiyation il often moi so apparent as
in the case Of field or garden crops
since the foliage OF the trees may
continue 10 appear fresh and green
while il is still unable TO secure
enough moisture 10 meet the ad-
ditional demands of the growing
fruit Under these conditions much
OF the fruit drops while small. and
that which remains fails 10 de-
yelop 10 normal size and quality.
