Fertilizer For Strawberries.

Nitrate of soda is valuable fertilizer
for Strawberries and raspberries and
should be applied with powdered phos-
phate of lime.
This application to strawberries will
sometimes treble the yield. The berries
are larger in size, handsomer in color,
more solid and finer in flavor. Ordinary
manure will not produce such results,
as it is not converted into plant food
until after the demand of the fruit
Nitrate of soda and powdered phos-
phate of lime are assimilated by the
plant at once, and appropriated at a
cost of less than $40 per acre. using 400
pounds of the mixture which contains
the three ingredients considered neces-
sary to use for feeding plants, nitrogen,

Richness In Sugar Beets.

When beets were first used as source
of sugar, the amount of sugar contained
in them averaged about 6 per cent. AS
a result of careful selection and breed
ing during period of many years the
amount of sugar has been increased to
an average lying between the limits of
IL and 10 per cent. Many crops of beets
show a sugar content of over 10 per
cent, while in some exceptional cases
the sugar has been reported as high as
30 per cent and even higher. Farmers
must avoid the mistake of regarding
exceptional cases as typical. When all
the details are known about remarkably
high yields of sugar in beets, it is usual
ly found that special conditions exist
which cannot readily be duplicated in
commercial operations. The question Of
interest to each farmer pertains to the
results he can secure on his farm, work
ing under the conditions involved in
growing beets ON a commercial scale. -
