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.
