A quick growth or "catch crop" can

U
MI in Michigan are plowed in
the spring and cultivated un-
I'll midsummer. This season
Is the natural one for trees to make a
growth Of new wood. and the plowing
and cultivating make the plant food In
the soil available and stimulate the
growth. After the cultivation ceases
the new growth will ripen, become
hard, In condition to pass through the
average winter without injury, which
1t could not do If growth continued
late In the fall.
At the last cultivation 1t Is desirable
to SOW something that will make a
cover crop on the land during the fall.
winter and early part of the spring. IL
nothing Is sown weeds will make a COW
er, but they will not make uniform
growth, nor will they result In any ben
eft to the land, and they may become
a serious annoyance.
Many desirable features will result
from having a cover crop in an orchard
or vineyard. Some of the more impOr-
tant ones are:
First.-Their growth helps to check
the tree growth and ripen the new
wood
Second.-A cover of vegetable growth
over the soil, supplemented by the root
system, will prevent to very large
extent the washing Of the valuable top
soil by the heavy fall and spring rains.
This feature Is especially valuable on
knolls and hillsides.
Third.-A cover crop will catch and
hold the leaves as they fall from the
trees. They contain some fertility and
afford some protection.
Fourth.-The cover crop itself will
make a blanket over the soil, and by
holding the snow from blowing away
this feature will be more effective, az
1t will largely prevent deep and severe
freezing Of the roots and the alternate
freezing and thawing, all Of which
cause serious losses in many Michi-
gan orchards, especially those located
upon the lighter and more porous soils.
Ftfth.-One of the most valuable re-
suits from the use of cover crops Is
that they add humus and plant food
to the soil. Certain plants commonly
used for cover crops. as clover, vetches,
peas and beans, possess the power of
gathering nitrogen from the air. stor-
