prepared BY n. United states Depart
ment OF AEriealtursJ
Cover crops and green manure
crops play an important part In
oreharding. While. each may serve TO
some extent the purpose Of the other
and the terms are often used loosely
without distinction OF meaning. there
are some differences that are clear
cut.
green manure crop Is one that IL
used primarily with q view to It's
being worked into the soil to maintain
or increase the humus content In
some cases Il may also serve the same
ends as a cover crop.
A cover crop Is ussd primarily 10
give protection 10 the tree roots dur
ing winter, or TO aid otherwise, as In
conserving plant food or controlling
tree growth. Protection of tree roots
10 winter Is sometimes of special I'm
portance In regions where the temper
allure drops relatively low and where
the ground Is likely TO be without a
blanket OF snow much OF the winter
season. cover crop worked into the
soil adds humus, the same as does
green manure crop.
The kind of crop used for either OF
these purposes will depend to con
siderable extent upon the region and
upon the details OF the conditions. Not
lnfreQusntly the grower can exercise
a choice between several, any one OF
which will serve the purpose. The
availability and price Of seed, the
proved value In his section Of par
ticulsr kind OF crop. or some other
factor may AZ the choice.
The importance OF adequately main
tanning the supply Of humus In orchard
soils has been demonstrated by many
fruit growers. particularly In cases
whore clean tillage has been practiced
year after year without the return to
the soil OF any vegetable matter OF
consequence. The soil becomes DIM
cult to handle and the trees show the
effects Of poor nutrition. They look
ackly and are unproductive.
The time and manner OF putting In

things. such as the kind OF crop used.

and seasonal conditions. For instance,
II the grower desires to use cowpeas
and to mature a crop Of seed for use

drills and thus be able to continue the
tfllage OF his orchard until midseason /;
or, he may SOW the cowpeas broadcast
early In July when he cultivates the
orchard for the last time In the
season. In the latter case frost would
likely kill the plants before the seed
was mature.
Another exceedingly important con-
sideration is the soil moisture. How
ever great the need of green-manure
crop may be, so far as the condition OF
the soil is concerned, II may sometimes
be exceedingly poor judgment on the
growers part to put one In his or

solution OF tho problem which has
been giving administration and cong

weeks. Tho revised measure. how
ever. stili has n long road to travel
before 1t reaches the statute books.
AS now drawn. tho bill provides for
cash payments only to those whose
adjusted service pay would not exceed
$5O and these four optional features:
Adjusted service certificates with an
added loan provision which would en-
able the men to obtain Immediately
from banks a sum equal to so per

and land settlement.

tificnto loan provision. which was
suggested originally by Representative

would he the amount of the adjusted
service pay. plus IS per cent. plus In
