Mr. Brown: That is one of the least 
of my troubles. I would say that where 
we have a heavy sod in Bermuda grass in 
our grove, if we can give it plenty of 
water and plenty of fertilizer, we have 
the best fruit in those spots. We put the 
fertilizer on and let the rains take care of 
it. 
Mr. H. B. Stevens: We have a grove 
like that and just mow the grass and it 
stands the drought better than any grove 
we have. But if we try to plow it, we 
find we have the most trouble. 
Mr. Mead: I would like to ask if 
anybody has ever tried checking it by 
using kudzu vine. 
Mr. -: Which is the worse? 
(Laughter.) 
Mr. Felt: Natal hay will drive it out. 
Mr. Hume: I have had kudzu on a 
ditch bank put in seven or eight years 
ago and tried to dig it out. It is there 
yet. (Laughter.)
