Never plant newly cleared woodlands; such lands snouid be cultivated for at least two years 
before setting the trees, otherwise wood-lice will injure them. 
In preparing orchard land, plow as deeply as possible and then subsoil. Dig holes 2 feet, or, 
better yet, use dynamite for making the holes. Gowpeas, soy beans or velvet beans are excellent 
crops for planting between the trees; it is best to drill-in two feet, apart, leaving four or more 
feet on each side of the trees, so as to have the ample room for cultivation. Cultivate frequently, 
and in the late fall or early winter turn under the cover-crop. When the orchard begins to bear 
it should have clean cultivation, but as soon as the fruit i§ harvested drill in peas for a cover- 
crop and turn this under as above directed.
