winter COVER CROPS
SWELL FRUIT RETURNS
Prevent Washing of Land and De
crease Fertilizer Bill

One of the most important prac
tees in orchard management is the
growing Of a cover crop under the
trees during the winter. This cover
crop helps to cut down the nitrogen bill
if winter growing legumes are used /;
adds organic matter to the soil; and
prevents washing in our billy sec
tions, says Prof Mediation of the
Georgia State College.
~ If we can do So, it will be wen 10 have
hairy vetch as part Of this cover crop.
To go along with the vetch we should
have either oats, rye or wheat. 1t
takes about a bushel of grain seed
and twenty pounds of hairy yetch to
SOW an acre. Where used, the hairy
vetch seed should be inoculated be-
fore planting.
In North Georgia the cover crop
should be sown about the last of
September 10 the first Of October. In
Central Georgia it should be sown by
the 18th of October. In South Geor-
gia it may be soWn as late as the
last of October OF first of November.
Where orchards are on rolling lard,
it is well to SOW this cover crop with
an open-furrOw drill. The open fur
rows not only protect the grain, but
are great help in keeping the land
from washing until the young grain
can become well established. The
value Of cover crop in an orchard
cannot be estimated, as we have no
way of knowing the monetary value
of organic. matter in the land. We
know, however, it greatly improves
the soil and will help US to make
crop of good fruit the following sea
son.
If the above mentioned seed cannot
be obtained for sowing the cover
crop, it would be a good plan TO sow
under the trees, -turnips,
rape, or anything thai will grow
through the winter, so that when
blowing time comes in the spring
there will be something to turn
under.
