OF YOUNG
TREES OUTLINED

SAN BENTTO. Jan. 3l.-Valley

county agents OF this section have
compiled a series Of suggestions for
the care OF young citrus trees of
which there are many.
Henry Alsmeyer. Cameron coun-
ty farm agent. has made the sug-
gestions available in Monograph
ed form. The suggestions follow:
Cover Crops: The use Of cover
crops, TO build tip the organic mat
ter content OF the soil before shad-
ing and competition become fact
ors OF Importance, Is probably the
most important part Of the orchard
management program, Winter L.
gumes such as Mellilotus Indica or
Burr Glover Or summer legumeS
like cowpeas or Sesbania may be
utilized for this purpose.
Two crops OF cowpeaS or sesba-
mia may be produced on the same
land from a single seeding III some
Of the seed from the first crop is
allowed TO mature before diskinE
the crop under.
Irrigation. The proper use of ir-
rigation water Is a very important
factor In the development of young
