Young Citrus Trees Need Mulch
Agricultural News Service University of Florida
College of Agriculture

Dry weather is telling on the
young citrus trees which have
been set this spring. Those which
were set during February and
March and were not mulched
have made very little growth
and may die if dry weather con-
tinues. On the other hand those
which were mulched are standing
the drouth and are apparently
making root growth, according
to A. P. Spencer, district agent
for the University of Florida Ey-
tension Division.
Mr.. Spencer suggests that any
trees which have not been mulch
ed be mulchcd Immediately. Any
material, such as pine straw or
Spanish moss that will protect
the ground around the trees from
the sun, will serve. The mulch
creates an air space which the
capillary moisture cannot span.
1t is well to scatter the mulching
over considerable area
around the trees so that the mois-
ture will not escape at the side.

South Florida Corn Looks Well

The corn of Hillsboro, Polk
and DeSoto counties is doing
well in spite of the continued
drouth. A. P. Spencer, district
agent for the University of Flori-
da Extension Division, reports
that the drouth has been more Sc
we're in South Florida than in any
other part of the state. But the
corn is growing well and has a
good color. Some of it has been
cultivated the second time and a
few garden patches of sweet corn
are in tassel.
Mr. Spencer says that the prac-
Sices which the demonstration a
gems have been advocating are
showing this year. Crops of dem
onstration farmers are suffering
less for water than those Of farm
ers who have not observed demon
stration methods.
