Notice Notice 
There will be a meeting of the 
Women’s Auxiliary in connection 
with the Annual Convention. All 
members of the Auxiliary should 
attend and induce other women to 
attend. 
Mrs. E. L. Roloff, 
President. 
Members who expect to attend 
the convention ought to reserve 
hotel accommodations in advance 
as Madison hotels are apt to be 
crowded. The Capital Hotel will 
take care of you if you will write 
to them. 
OIU 1IAKI) l<'K UTILIZATION 
(Continued from page 39) 
not really poor, is somewhat defi- 
cient in organic matter, tillage 
with cover crops, for a time at 
least, without fertilization, will 
give better results in growth and 
vigor of trees and a larger yield 
of fruit than will the grass mulch 
method without fertilization, be- 
cause of shortage of nitrogen un- 
der these conditions. 
3. That the grass-mulch method, 
carefully followed, plus fertiliza- 
tion with nitrogenous plant food, 
will promote a great degree of 
growth, vigor and fruitfulness of 
trees on lands somewhat deficient 
in organic matter as will tillage 
and cover cropping without fer- 
tilization, with the advantage that 
the grass-mulch plan will permit 
no further loss of soil or fertility 
by erosion. 
4. That the grass-mulch meth- 
od, plus fertilization with nitrog- 
enous plant food, not only w T ill 
produce as satisfactory results in 
vigorous growth of trees and yield 
of fruit on thin, poor, steep, un- 
safely tillable land as will the til- 
lage-cover-crop method on safely 
tillable land of equally thin, poor 
soil conditions, without fertiliza- 
tion, but is the only scheme of 
orchard culture that economically 
can be applied to the more regged 
types of land. 
5. That the cost of effective fer- 
tilization with quickly available 
nitrogenous plant food for apple 
orchards on rugged land, even at 
the present extremely high price 
of nitrate of soda, as compared 
with that set over against the cost 
of tillage on the more safely and 
readily workable areas in these 
generally hilly sections is no 
greater than, if as great as, the 
tillage-cover-crop method without 
fertilization.
