There was a secondary rise on more

GRASS AND ORCHARD PROFITS
On Ordinary Soil Grass Roots and Tree
Roots Are InimicabIe.

Prepared by experiment station, Geneva,
In orchards on deep soils the sod
mulch method is less of a detriment
than on shallow soils. In the deep
soil the tree roots have some chance
to escape the drought producing infiu-
ence of the grass roots. Under some
conditions, as where moisture is over
abundant and apple trees make too
luxuriant growth, sod may occasional
ly be used with benefit to check growth
and promote fruitfulness.
There is, however, nothing to indi-
cate that on ordinary soils the grass
roots and tree roots ever establish
amicable relations, for the difference
between the titled and sodded pats
was greater at the end of ten years
than during the first half of the test
that is, apples do not become adapted
to grass.
The bad effects of the grass on apple
trees occur, no matter what the va
riety or the age of the tree or other
cultural treatment, and are even more
liable to be shown by dwarfs than by
standard trees because of the shallow
root systems of the trees on dwarf
stocks. Pasturing orchards in sod may
reduce the injury from the grass just
to the extent that the pasturing re-
duces the growth of the grass, but it
can never wholly overcome the evil.
The owners of sod orchards may not
realize how their trees are weakened
and their crops lessened by the growth
of the grass, since they have no titled
trees under the same conditions to
compare with them, but trained OBJ
server can usually detect, even from
a distance signs of poor health and
diminished vitality in the light color
of the foliage.
The sod mulch system is bad enough,
but grass grown in the orchard not for
a mulch is all but fatal. 1t makes
the trees sterile and paralyZes their
growth. 1t is the chief cause of I'M
profitable orchards in New York state.
