(!! Professor C. I. Lewis, O. A. C.) '
Orchard fertility is a very iinjior
tant subject for the fruit growers Ij
study and much more attention mid .
thought should lie given to. this sub- '
jet than it now receives for the very,
sucr ess of an orchard depends large-j
I y ni.on the maintenance of fertility, j
In order to harvest heavy crops year
after year and to still maintain the
highest type of excellence we must
sec that the orchard soil in not al-
lowed to become depleted. We are
apt to think on the Pacific coast that
our soils cannot become exhausted. j
Tn this we are badly mistaken, for!
we have already plenty of nvideneV
in some of our fruit sections that thin
is not true orchards in , which tho
foliage is yellow, the fruit small, and
the annual growth very short. True
it is that some of these orchards need
more water, but as will be shown lat- j
er there is a rather close relation
between water supply and food supply
in many of our orchards. Taken as
a whole, our orchard soils are rich,
especially in certain elements, but
without system of management they
are losing much of the available sup ¬
ply of plant food. Our problem i;
to maintain the fertility. j
What do we really mean by orchard I
fertility? Simply the food supply thalj
the trees need to do their best. This
food is represented in the form of
about 38 chemical elements. The
chief elements from this number are
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen,
sulphur. potassium, phosphorous,
magnesium, calcium and iron, while
sodium, chlorine and silicon nri
found in lesser rimntitics. The plant
obtains its carbon from Ihc a;r
through the leaves. Hydrogen and
oxygen arc obtained from the water,
while nitrogen is found in decaying
organic matter and is also obtained
by some plants from the air. These
elements are often termed the organic
elements, the remaining elements the
inorganic or mineral. When a plant
is burned iho first four elements pass
off into tho nir while the remaining
are found in Hie ashes. We say, then
the four organic elements come from
the air, the remaining mineral eh
meuts from the soil.
Nature supplies most t the 3
elements that cuter the plant, in great
uiiioidancc; in fact, in very large sup
i lies. much greater than our plants
juill ever need. There are. however.
. Ihice or four elements thai are apt to
, be deficient and absolutely es-eulia!
tc plant growth; these are nilrocc'i.
potassium and phosphorous, and o -casionally
lime.
Nitrogen is the great vital element
the life giver, so to speak; it is
the clement that gives the plan! ils
rich, vigorous green color and luxu
riant growth, the producer of wood
and leaf.
Potassium forms about 50 per cent
of the ashes from a plant, and is
supposed to aid in the development of
color.
Phosphorous aids in the ripening
of the fruit and aids in the seed de
velopment. We have found in our
pollination studies that there is a re
lation between heavy seed and heavy
fruit; they go together.
Our problem is to keep the soil
supplied with these elements in suf
ficient quantities. Some of my read
ers may have received literature from
the soil bureau of tho department of
agriculture. Washington, D. C, star
ing that there is no such thing a
soil exhaustion, Hint the reason some
plants do not grow is duo to poison
i ns secretions from the soils. Thorp
may be something in this; however,
v.e prefer al present until more in
formation is received on the subject
to believe thai soils become deficient
nt times in certain elements.
