I Laurens, - South Carolina ********************** ***** 1 i CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK I' i ? fr*****?*?**? ***?*fr*****?etr* Tho Importance of planting cover crops in our orchards is being more I fully appreciated each year, yet in so. of the principal fruit districts of th" south we find many large or chards whore no cover crops have been planted. Tho result Is the soil I in these orchards is becoming more improvcrishod each year by the leach ing of soluble fertilizers by surface j washing and for want of humus, in most cases the orchards are located on the more elevated laud which Is hilly or rolling with sandy soil ami clay sub-soil. On such soil it is hard to prevent surface washing entirely, hut is could he reduced to (he mini mum by the proper use of cov er crops. Not only do these cover crops prevent surface washing, hut they utilize the soluble fertilizers which would other wise leach out of tile soil. When tho crop is turned under, it adds consid erable humus to the soil and the fer tilizers required to prod;:;-;- it becotuo available lor the use of the trees. The plants used as cover crops are of two distinct types, leguminous and non leguminous plants. The legumes, such as clover, eowpeas and vetch, in addition to furnishing humus have the power of collecting nitrogen from I the air and adding this valuable fer tilizer to the soil for the use of other plants. The non-leguminous plants, such as rye. oats and turnips, do not. collect nitrogen from the air hut when sown in the early fall consume soluble plant food during their growth which would otherwise he lost by leaching and which is returned to the soil when the cover crop is plowed under in the spring. Most soils where orchards are planted are deficient in both hu mus and nitrogen ami therefore a leg uminous cover crop should be selected. If die trees make sufllcieut growth without tin' use of nitrogen fertilizers then a non-leguminous cover crop may he planted. T think I am safe in saying, howev er, that there are few commercial or chards in the south that are not in need of both nitrogen and humus. To accomplish our purpose of adding ni trogen and humus to the soil and to prevent surface washing, we should have both a winter and summer crop, j Rye followed by eowpeas will glvo best resuts on poor soil. The rye should be sown In the early fall in or der that it may cover the ground as soon as possible and prevent surface washing. The rye. should be turned under not later than the last of March. This may be accomplished by doublt; harrowing with the disk harrow and this method is preferable to plowing as it avoids the danger of plowing too deep near the trees. A strip of land six to tui feet wide between the rows' of trees should he prepared and the peas sown broadcast about the Ii est of May. I'Jarly In September the pea vines should be worked into the soil J by means of a disk harrow and the land can be seeded to rye or crimson clover. After or:0 or two crops of rye and peas have been worked into the soil, crimson clover or hairy vetch may be sown instead of rye. Crimson clover makes an excellent cover crop from September to May. As soon as enough seed have ripened to reseed itself, the clover should be worked into the soil with a disk harrow. If the clover Is allowed to occupy all the space be tween the rows of trees during tho months of March and April, it wlU retard the growth of trees to some ex tent, and therefore I think it best to turn under the clover early In March. My plan Is to fertilize and cultlvato the trees early In March, leaving a narrow strip of clover in the middle to reseed itself. A strip two to three feet wide will produce enough seed for the entire middle. After the seed have ripened, the clover is worked In to the soil with a disk harrow anil the land may be smoothed and tho; seed scattered over the entire middle by means of a tooth harrow. Hairy vetch Is an excel b ut cover crop em may be treated in the same way as crimson clover. The .seed are sown in August or September and the crop ; worked into the soil in tho spring. It crimson clover or hairy vetch lb' to he planted on land whore neither of those crops has grown before, it will be necessary CO Inoculate tho (leid by securing soil from land wher4 vetch and clover have previously grown. This soil may bo scattered over the land in the same way as fer tilizer immediately after sowing the seed, and then mixed with the soil and need by means of a tooth harrow. Wheat, oats, and barley make good Cover crops, but they do not thrive on poor land as well as rye. In no case should grain be allowed to maturo in the orchard as it would rob the trees of moisture and plant, food at the very time they needed them most. When a good crop of eowpeas, vetch or crimson clover Is added to the soil, we are at the same time great ly enriching the supply of nitrogen which is our most expensive fertili zer. Prof. C. C.
