It may be Impoeeihle td^

ers Can get two erb|>s from the
same land with very little extra
effort by aowlng lespedesh on
th^ir amall grain, agiicaltural
workers In Wilkes County point
out.
Annual leapedeza, where adapt
ed, is also one of the best plants
for erosion control when used In
rotations on cultivated crop land,
according to County Agent Dan
Holler and Mr. Willis Bowen,
Agricultural Aide of the Soil Con
servation Service in the Wilkes
Work Unit of the Tri-Creek Dis
trict, Wllkesboro, N. C.
Since it does not require extra
plowing of the land when sown
on small grain and can be seeded
when the farmer is not busy with
other crops, annual lespedeza fits
in well with the farmer’s rota
tions. If left a second year it re
seeds itself on the land.
Under favorable conditions, an
nual lespedeza makes large yields
of good hay and, it cut early,
will make sufficient additional
growth before frost to give ex
cellent winter protection to the
land and leave considerable ma
terial to be turned under. It pro
duces plenty of seed that can be
harvested for increasing the acre
age of the crop without addition
al seed cost.
.A.nnual lespedeza responds well
to phosphate and on pocr soils
it is important to apply ut least
200 pounds per acre of 16 per
cent superphosphate, or its equiv
alent, either to the oats when it
is planted in the fall or to the
lespedeza when it is seeded on
the oats early in March.
VAN DEMAN REPORTS
PROGRESS IN WORK

and fall. The number of moths
caught in this manner was .small
compared to the number of larvae
caught under bands on the trunks
of the trees.
Temperature records are being
kejit at the laboratory in coope
ration with the United States
Weather Bureau and. also, in
one of the orchards (Bretholl’s)
by niean.s of a recording ther
mometer which keeps track of
the temperature every hour of
every day throughout the season.
Spraying experiments for the
control of fungus diseases as well
as codling moth \Cere carried out
in the orchards of R. C. Adams,
P. R. Lowe, and D. E. Davis. In
the first orchard mentioned. Red
Delicious and Golden Delicious
were sprayed four times starting
with the potal-fall spray, a pink
having been applied by the grow
er. Two concentrations of lime
sulfur were tested r.s well as flo
tation sulfur paste. Scab infection
had taken place before these
sprays were applied but satisfac
tory control wa.s obtained by all
three materials. Bordeaux m'ix-
ture was used in the last two
cover sprays. The petal-fall spray,
and first cover spray was omitted
from one tree and nearly every
apple on this tree was scabby.
This experiment helps to prove
that 1 1-2 gallons of lime sulfur
to the 100 will control scab as
well as 2 1-2 gallon", it the spray
ing is done thoroughly.
.A block of 60 trees in Perry
Lowe’s orchard, which included
Red Delicious, Double Red Delic
ious and Stay? an. were sprayed
with three materials: 1 1-2 gal
lons of lime sulfur. Mike Sulfur,
and Kolotog. Six sprays were
used: two of these before bloom.
The pre-pink spray was put on
nine days before the pink spray.
In the last two cover sprays a 2-
4-100 Bordeaux mixture was
used. A good control of scab,
blotch, and hitter rot was obtain
ed in this experiment even'though
the third or last cover spray was
applied June 7. This experiment
helps to bring out the point that
the wettahle sulfurs will control
scab If they are applied at the
pre-pink and pink .stages as well
as the petal-fall and first cover
spray, 10 to 14 days after the
petal-fall spray. However, all
praying must be done very thor
oughly with any material in order
to obtain ideal control of scab,
blotch, or bitter rot.
Orchanl Soil Management and
Fertilization
Proper soil management is the
basis of all sound agrienlture.!'
Since the Ufe i>f an apple mharti'
is thirty to fifty years or more,
proper soil management is; of the
atmost Importance. Wheii yBuF
land was first cleared nearly eve:
ry bit of it was very fertile. i'aM
apple trees grew very ty.ell, €Alr4wlU .be. increased each year. Do

bla with many Bonnm and aqa»as:
DelickMU treea. I am checking
thia auaatipn by axperimenta in
eight orchard*. Theaei; orcharda
are those of Carl Fortner, Roby
Daniels, D. B. Davis, Frank Chil-
ders, W. A. Jennings, C. S’. Breth-
oll and W. H. H. Waiigh’s Gold
(Medal Orchard and Gllreath Orch
ard.
I do not mean to give you t.ie
Impression that lime Is not good
for an orchard. It is very good
for the cover crop If it Is epread
on the middles between the tree
rows. But large amounts should
not be applied under the trees
themselves as I have seen done in
a few cases.
The best time for aipplication
of nitrogen fertilizers is another
question on which I am doing
considerable work. At present I
have experiments under way in
Mr. Holman’s orchard, Clarence
Hendren’s orchard, Mr. E. P.
Lowe’s orchard and Mr. Bretholl’s
orchard.
Perennial legumes have prom
ise of becoming very good cover
crops for orchards if handled
properly. Lespedeza sericea Is be
ing tried oat in nine orchards:
Mr. I. J. Broyhill and N. C. An
drews at Boomer, Mr. Stewart,
Mr. Costner, and Mitch Davis of
Gilreath. Mr. Bretholl, Mr. E. P.
Lowe, Mr. Frank Childers and D.
E. Davis of Alexander county.
Mulching is another practice
which may prove very helpful in
many orchards. Mr. Bretholl, Mr,
Andrews' and Doc Newton have
mulched quite a few of their trees
with straw or hay during the
past season. Nearly two years ago
Dewey Broyhill mulched a few of
his trees with sawdust. I-ast fall
we applied a heavy coating of
sawdust as a mulhft under some
trees in Pran1e''€!h41fler’s orchard
and D. E. Davi^’.. orchard. Many
orchards' all over^^fhS country are
now being mulched each year
whereas twenty years ago only a
very few growers considered it
a good practice. The 1940 Agri
cultural Conservation Program
for this State includes a payment
for applying mulching material
hauled iii from outside the orch
ard.
i’ruiiiiig and Tliinning Studie.s
Pruning and thinnipg experi
ments have been started in Clar*
ence Hendrea’s orchard, R. C.
Adams’ orchard, the Morehouse's
Harveycutter orchard and E. P.
Lowe’s orchard. The thinning
work is in connection with a sum
mer application of a nitrogen fer
tilizer and the object is to en-i
courage production of a crop the
year after a heavy crop as well as
to increase the size and quality
of the fruit during the heavy
crop year.
The results from 32 Limber-
twig trees in Mr. Lowe’s orchard
are v:iy interesting. All of the
trees selected for the experiment
had prospects of a good ci-op
when they were thinned and the
summer application of nitrogen
applied the last week in May.
1939. Twelve trees-were thinned
very heavily; six of these were
given one pound of nitrate of so
da each. Twenty trees were left
unthinned and 10 of these were
given one pound of nitrate each.
The trees that were thinned had
4 1-4 bushels of their apples over
2 1-2 inches in size. The trees
that were not thinned had only
3 3-4 bushels of their apples 2 1-2
inches and over. The trees that
received the extra pound of ni
trate produced a bushel per tree
more apples than those which did
not receive the extra nitrate. Per
haps I should say that thisi pound
of nitrate is in addition to the
regular fertilizer application
which all of these trees received
earlier in the spring. This experi
ment has only been started. Defi
nite results will not be obtained
tor several years.
Variety Tests and Breedlnj^
Studies >■
Many new varieties have been
introduced by experiment stations
in the apple growing s(Uute8 and
Canada. One and two year old
tress of those varieties have been
purchased and set out in a num
ber of orchards in Alexander and
Wilkee counties. The early apples
included in tihis list are: Lodi,
■Williams’ Early Red, Summer
Yellow Delicious, Early McIntosh,
Melba, Milton, • Hame, Lobo, and
Wealthy. Later varieties include:
