Annual Cover Crops 



The annual cover crops should be 

 sown some time during the early part 

 of September. Many people have al- 

 ready planted vetch, some have planted 

 rye or oats in tlie orchard, and these 

 crops will be up and growing well be- 

 fore the fruit is gathered from the orch- 

 ard. Early planting is especially valu- 

 able in many regions. In regions where 

 winter injury has been common, the 

 planting of some form of cover crops 

 close to the trees in time to make suf- 

 ficient growth to remove the surplus 

 water from the soil and cause the trees 

 to go into winter quarters without any 

 soft or unripened wood is sure to pro- 

 duce beneficial and helpful results. 



Rye is a good crop for this, if sown 

 early. Winter vetch is also a good crop, 

 but has the objection of being very 

 expensive. When once seeded, how- 

 ever, it can be grown as an annual 

 cover crop for several years, If it is let 

 grow in the spring until mid-spring or 

 early summer, when it will have devel- 

 oped seed that will remain practically 

 dormant all summer and start into 

 growth in early fall. 



The planting of permanent cover 

 crops, such as clover and alfalfa, should 

 be thoroughly considered before it is 

 undertaken. These crops require that 

 the water supply be sufficient for grow- 

 ing both the orchard crop and the cover 

 crop at the same time. Clover can be 

 grown for one year and then turned 

 under with very beneficial results. Al- 

 falfa can be grown for one or two years 

 and then the surface soil thoroughly 

 disked and worked up until it looks like 

 a plowed field, and in that way a great 

 deal of vegetation that falls on the sur- 

 face can be worked into the surface 

 soil. Alfalfa is difficult to eradicate and 

 should not be planted until all of its 

 characteristics have been thoroughly 

 considered by the orchard owner. Most 

 orchardists who have planted alfalfa 

 and clover consider clover less valuable 

 and favor alfalfa more and more every 

 year. — O. M. Morris, Horticulturist,
