Land that has been built up by production of crops such as alfalfa is most desirable for fruit tree planting. Manure should be freely used, especially where the soil is rather low in fertility.

Present recommendations are in favor of growing a cover crop in he orchard, but this may not be possible where irrigation is not practised, since the supply of moisture may not warrant such a procedure. The important thing is that more orchards can be grown for farm and home use, and anyone who expects to plant may secure Bulletin 209 from his county agent or from the Extension Sendee, State College, N. Mex. This bulletin, entitled Orchard Management, will answer questions that come up when an orchard planting project is undertaken. In addition, many farmers can use Press Bulletin 810, which names the desirable varieties of the different fruits.
