Growing Field Crops in Orchard
AREAS

S. G. G., Macon, Ga, writes:
I have 500 acres of land in Jones
county, and have some $4,000
peach trees and 1 100 pecan trees
on part of this land. The land
has been in cultivation some 100
years, but has been well pre-
served by rotation. as Is shown
by the production of one-half to
enc bale of cotton per acre before
the boil weevl came. AS trees
are young and unproductive, am
DESTROYS of obtaining revenue
from land. Can cotton be grown
at a profit when about 1000
pounds of fertilizer is used per
acre? / have an opportunity to
purchase fertilizer from an aban-
doned plant at very low price.
1t analyses about S-1.5-1.5.
Should this be beneficial to Or
chard and ether crops?
When the trees in a peach or pecan
orchard are very young, inter-crop-
ping may be practiced with fair
degree of success. The nature and
extent of the crops would naturally
be determined by the condition of
the soil and the rate and character
OF growth the trees are making. On
thin soils, inter-cropping would not
be a desirable practice. A good deal
OF the land devoted to orcharding in
Georgia needs to be built up rather
than excessively cropped. Much of
the land planted to trees would be
improved by growing on it during
the summer months such crops as
velvet beans, coWpeas, soy beans, or
rye, oats, and vetch during the win
~ months. In some instances, it
may be all right to harvest these
crops. In a great majority of cases,
however, it will be proper to turn
them under for the enrichment OF
the land. Orchard trees make a
heavy draft on the soil, and, unless
they are literally fortified, will not
produce satisfactorily or continue to
produce through as long a series Of
years as is desirable.
Cotton oan be grown in Georgia
under boil weevil conditions provided
an early-maturing type Is selected
and early planting is practiced. Cot
ton should be planted In narrower
rows and left closer in the drill than
formerly applied. The use Of 500 to
1000 pounds of 9-43 fertilizer
should be regarded as good practice.
Most of the fertilizer should be put
under the drill row when the cotton
is planted. The boil weevil will de-
stroy the greater part Of the cotton
produced in Georgia unless spraying
with calcium arsenate is followed at
the psychological time.
Peanuts and soy beans and hay
crops generally can be cultivated
with success and profit under an in
