Orchard Cover Crops !
Boost Yield Of Trees

Cultivation early in the season.
followed by the growing of cover
crops and mulching with straw from
the middle of August to the first of
November are the means which Ken
tucky farmers have for controlling
moisture in their orchards and in
creasmg the production of their
trees, according to Fl. r. Niswonger,
extension specialist in orcharding,
from the College of Agriculture.
Heavy production of trees depends
ON a good growth which in turn de-
pends upon the amount of moisture
available for the growing stock.
To help conserve moisture, rye
may be sown in the young orchard
from the middle of August to the
first of November. The crop should
be turned under in the spring. Some
farmers sow crimson clover or rye
and vetch together for orchard cover
crops. In old neglected orchards
1t is a good practice to SOW the
space between the rows of trees
with a cover crop and cover the
ground beneath the trees with straw
beginning three or four inches from
the trunk and extending beyond the
tips of the branches. Good re-
suits in conserving moisture are OBJ
tanned by spreading the straw about
three or four inches thick. This
material can be applied any time
after the crop is harvested, but it
should be under the trees by early
spring.

Limestone Benefits
Soils in Many Ways

Kentucky farmers who lime their
fields this fall will be benefiting the
soil in several different ways. ac-
eording to soils specialists at the
College of Agriculture. Limestone
makes soggy. logged, heavy
soils granular and lighter. permitting
more air space for plant roots. The
roarse. sandy soils are improved by
the action Of limestone in cementing
the soil particles together. Lime also
has the power of making sour soils
sweet thus increasing the number
of desirable soil organisms ard max
inc the soil fertile to a greater depth.

Earth ts Slowing Down.

Happily for our convenience, the
process is extremely slow. but all tile
same the fact is that the days are
getting longer.
This does not refer to hours or
daylight increasing with the advancing
year. but TO days as timed by the
revolution OF the earth on it's axis.
The earth's power OF rotation, says
writer in the Popular Science
sronthiy, is growing weaker ana as a
result its revolution on its axis In
slowing up. Which means, Of course,
that the day Is iengthening.
An epoch must eventually arrive
when the day win be equal In length
to the year; that Is, to the time IL
takes for rs TO reveive about the sun.
Then the earth will always turn the
same face toward the solar luninary.
just as the neon now always turns the
same face toward us. and one-haif OF
our planet will have sunshine all the
year. while the other half Is in total
and permanent darkness.
That is, IL the sun still is shining.
II may become q dim and chilly ORB
before then.
