Continued From Page One evidenlty is as he knew all about their results in many parts of the North west and other sections of hte United States as well. Mr. L.ewis baa covered wide ground on this subject and his contention la that It is absolutely necessary to restore to the soil the elements that are being taken from it by tbe trees in an orchard and tbe clean cultivation system. He main tains that constant exposure of tbe organic matter of the soli to tbe air aud its almost equally constant agita tion exbnuste its vitality and must therefore be replaced. To do this be recommends the plautiua of cover crops that oan be sown lu tbe fall of tbe year, allowed to grow until the trees commence to awaken In tbe spring and then be plowed under tbe soil furnishing lu a large part the renewal of the elements to the soil that have been taken from it the pre ceding year. As a cover crop be ad- vocted Oregou vetch, clover, kbalf vetoh and rye or whatever leguminous crop was round to be particularly adapted to the needs of the locality. lie supported bis statements with ex periments that had been made at the station aud elsewhere. On the subject of Irrigation Mr. Lewis demonstrated that be has been (loin some thinking and studying aud also has made a Dumber of valu able practical experiments. Tbe resut of these is that he has come to .he conclusion that what the oiobardist wants to know most ia not bow much water to use, but bow little. Kxpeii ments in tbo Rogue River vallev bad shown itiat on trees which were Irri gated four boxes of apples grew, while those tnat were not irrigated grew next to uone. Some soils needed but little water, while others almost rt quired soakiog. Too much water made tbe fruit big, punky and taste lees and ailected its keeping qualities, while too little made It ton small, hurt its appearance and reduced the quantity of tbe yield. All these things said Mr. Lewis were being expert niented on and it was boped to strike a happy medium in four or five years when all tbe expeilments were com piete.
