VALUE OF COVER
CROP IN ORCHARD
(By E. L. PROTESTING, University Of
California;

(By e. l. PROTESTING, University OF
California;
Cover crops, provided adequate
moisture is present for both the trees
and the crop, are of considerable ben
eft to the orchard. The more impOr-
tant of these beneficial effects may be
listed as follows:
l. If the crop is leguminous it adds
nitrogen to the soil.
2. 1t provides "A favorable medium
for growth of soil organisms
3. Ii improves the physical condition
of the soil.
1t is well known that certain bac-
terra grow in nodules formed on the
roots of legumes. These bacteria have
the power Of fixing" atmospheric nj
trogen, that is, changing it from
form practically useless to the plant
to one which Is readily absorbed. The
addition OF this element is an impor-
tant part of maintaining permanent
agriculture.
1t is not so generally known that
there are many kinds of microscopic
organisms that occur in the SOIL,
These are of many sorts, both animals
and plants being among them. One OF
the important kinds is the ammonify-
ing bacteria. These bacteria take the
complex forms of nitrogen compounds,
such as protelns, and digest them
with the production of ammonia.
small amount of ammonia Is used dl-
rectly by the plant. A much larger
amount is transformed to nitrites by
another group of bacteria, and still
another group carries the process fur
ther to the nitrate state. This is prob
ably the form in which most nitrogen
used by the plant is absorbed.
Besides these organisms working in
the soil on the forms of nitrogen there
are many acting on other compounds,
such as those of sulphur, iron, phos-
phorus, etc. They also help to put the
elements into form suitable for alb
sorption by the plants. In order that
these beneficial processes may be car
ried on in the soil it is necessary that
proper environment he supplied.
This is very greatly aided by the use
of cover crops.
II has been found that the ability of
the soil to maintain desirable tex
ture is greatly influenced by the
amount of certain materials in it-7xm-
important group of these materials is
supplied TO the soil by the decomposi-
tion Of cover crops. They tend to pre-
vent pudding of the soil, especially
heavy soils, where this is apt to be
serious. They also increase the water
holding capacity Of the soil, which Is
especially important in a region OF
! prolonged dry weather.
While these items do not tell all of
the story they serve to show the value
Of a cover crop to the orchard.

Summer SPRAYS

The third summer orchard spray
should be followed in about two weeks
with another application. If apple
blotch is not present, llme-sulphur So
luton and arsenate Of lead may be
used. Where the grower anticipates
injury from apple blotch or bitter rot,
bordeaux and arsenate of lead should
be applied. Practically all orchards
should receive at least four summer
sprays. In most cases they will be
greatly benefited by applying from five
to seven sprays.

2. Future control Of the Rhine

Also, there can be- no real liberty

Under the Craftsmanship of Roy
Qndia) the twenty-flrst session of the
plenum opened with speech by Do
riot (France). who, speaking on be-
half OF the French delegation, declared
that the French Communist Party
entirely agrees with the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union. He said
that the opposition's program consists
of old, outworn and refuted argu-
ments. The Russian workers victory
over the opposition, he stated, was
the victory Of the western European
proletariat as well. The small oppo-
sition within the French party has
also been defeated and the same will
happen in all parts of the Comintern,
despite Trotsky's and Zinoviev's at
tempt to extend the factional struggle
to an international plane.
The opposition's arguments, Doriot
declared. for the impossibility of build
ing social together with the peasantry
are social-democratic and the best
food for 'left" social-democrats.
Trotsky's assertion that Russia can
not build socialism owing to its back
wardness ignores the Importance of
the proletariat, while Zinoviev departs
from Marxism when his analysis fails
to take into account concrete situa-
lions. 1r.
In conclusion, Doriot pointed out
that the most reactionary social-dem-
ocratic press was sympathizing with
Zinoviev and Trotsky and expressing
the hope that the opposition's fac
