PALMER BUCKET COMPANY, Hood River, Oregon Cover Crops for Bearing Irrigated Orchards THE following discussion is based upon a farni-to-farm study of the use of green manures and cover crops in the Yakima and Columbia River valleys, particularly in Benton County. Most of our irrigated soils are naturally deficient in nitrogen and or- ganic matter. The practice of clean orchard cultivation has also greatly aggravated this condition by causing the vegetable matter of the soil to decay and disappear. Hence the importance of orchard soil improvement by means of green manure and cover crops. Many orchardists early appreciated the importance of maintaining soil fer- tility, and during the last ten or twelve years the various cover crops have been extensively tested; consequently, very satisfactory methods of growing and using these crojjs have been worked out. This paper is the result of a study of these farm methods. The primary purpose of this paper is: (1) to present the
