Preparation and Fertil
ization Os The Orchard
T. H. McHATTON, Prof. Horticulture,
Ga. State College Os Agriculture j
The man who has a cover crop on
his orchard this year is lucky, for
It has prevented a (treat deal of wash
inn during the rainy season of the
winter, nnd, when turned under, which
should be done in March, will add hu
mus and make a more friable and wa
ter-holding soil for the coming crop
pea .-on. The orchard should bo plowed
during March. Where it has been
} lowed fr in year to year, the plow
ing should be from 6 to 8 inches deep.
1 'low' it in the opposite direction this
year from that plowed last year. This,
of course, ha reference to level orch
ards. Where the trees are set on ter
rares, the plowing, of course, Is done
In the same direction each year. Diso ,
with a tw' -horse disc as soon after |
plowing as convenient. Fertilizer
should then be applied.
With potash costing as much as It
does, the orchard fertilizer should
he 100 pounds of cottonseed meal, or
some other nitrogen carrier ns sul
phate of ammonia, or nitrate of soda.
Mix the 100 pounds of cottonseed meal
with 200 pound) of acid phosphate. |
Where nltrai- of soda or sulphate of
ammonia is u: «d, mix with -100 pounds
of acid phosphate, and from 500 to 7uo
pounds of tlii- mixture should be ap
plied broaden i pet acre and disced in
as soon after as possible. The orchard
should then be kept In shape by going j
over it witli a spring tooth or spike j
tooth harrow every ten days or two
wi <-ks. The time to sow the cover crop
Is in the late summer.

they attach themselves to the mucous

with which the heads are armed. They
remain in this location for about 10
