PROFIT IN STRAWBERRIES.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
There is really no farm crop that
can be made more productive than
the strawberry when the market
facilities are good but in order to
do this there must be a thorough un-
derstanding of the nature of the
plants and their needs I do not.
know of any other crop that shows.
a wider variation in profits and pro-
ductivity than the strawberry. The
returns from an acre run all the
way from fifty and sixty dollars to
several hundred, with here and
there even greater figures than these
reported. l should not advise any
one to attempt raising Strawberries
for commercial profit who is not
satisfied to begin moderately and
gradually learn by experience how
to increase the quantity and quality
of the fruit, and consequently the
profits. s. W. CHAMBERS.

COTTON CULTURE IN HUNGARY.

Consul Mahin, of Reichenberg, un-
der date of April %, 1901, reports:
It is intended this year to essay
the cultivation of the cotton plant in
Hungary. It is said that it will ripen
in the southern part of that King
dom the efforts to grow cotton in
the lower provinces of Asiatic Rus
sia, in the same latitude as Hungary,
have been successful. It is probable
that bounties will be paid the cotton
planters, in keeping with Hungary's
liberal treatment of the founders of
factories. More or less success is
now attending the culture of cotton
in Spain, southern Italy, Macedonia,
and Malta.

success so marked that within a few
seasons that State may have become
one of the most important producers
in the country. Tobacco has here
tofore been generally associated with
the warmer sections of the country,
and the most famous brands are
grown in the semi tropical regions.
But tt has also been grown with some
success as far north as Connecticut,
thus demonstrating that it's success
does not depend so much upon the
soil. There is certain element
which gives the weed it's richness
and flavor, just as other plants de-
pend for their success upon peculiari-
ties of their nutritive mediums. The
Department of Agriculture has of
late years been doing excellent work
in ascertaining the precise elements
which most surely favor individual
growths. There was a substantial
reason for the project, negatived by
the last Congress, to map the soils
of the United States, though it re-
mains question whether the imme.
diate benefits to be derived would
justify the enormous expense in
volved. There is no forecasting the
changes which may be caused by
this development, persistently pur-
sued, both in the inclusion in the
American growths of plants notnow
successfully grown here and in a
more economical and productive ar
rangement of the growths.

potash and phOsphoric acid. An ap-
plication of 300 pounds acid phos.
phate and 100 pounds sulphate of
potash at planting will complete the
full needs of the crop, at cost of
1926 for the potash and 81. so for the
acid phosphate, in round figures in
all 1875, add to this the $13. so fer
tilizer cost of the cover crop and we
have the total fertilizer cost of 400
bushels of potatoes $17.25, or less
than four and one. third cents per
bushel.
Had the cover crop not been used,
and fertilizers used directly for the
potato crop and even supposing
every pound of the fertilizer applied
was realized in the crop, which is
impossible, the cost would have
been:
Nitrogen, 90 lbs. @ 12o. .... $11.O4
Potash, 1853 lbs. "a SO. ...... 7.9O
Phos. acid, 40 lbs. "a Sc. ...... 30
$21O4
Or $3.50 per acre more than the
actual cost. AS a matter of fact,
the cost instead of being $21. .O4
would have been nearer $31.O4, as
not more than two-thirds of fer
tilizer application can be expected to
be realized in crops.

HOW THE SCIENTIST HELPS THE FAR
MER.
A. B. MARRIOTT
Washington, D. G.

DO you know that the government
expends nearly ten millions of dol
lars annually and employs nearly
five thousand persons, every dollar
of which might remain unexpended
and every person unemployed with
out impairing one jOt or one little
the efficiency of the government as
legislative power, or as an admin
istrative force, or as a judicial inter
prefer of laws? And what is this
vast sum and army of men employed
for? Simply and solely to develop
the utilities which go to make up
our industry and our commerce.
What has brought this country to
the industrial and commercial
supremacy it now enjoys but the
utilization of the skill of the world?
This skill, however, has very largely
been imported. We have drawn
from the schools of the Old World.
We should develop it here by and
among ourselves and from our own
brains, and make it a part of the
home equipment of our varied indus
try. 1t should be developed along
with the development of our mex
haustible natural resources. This
the government is trying to do, and
it is a benefcent employment of
wealth and men.
In the cotton districts of the South
values are often interfered with
and crops reduced by diseases which
seem naturally to belong to the cot
ton, but the government is finding
out, has found out in large degree,
Just how to prevent or cure these
diseases. 1t has found out by long
and patient scientific study what
causes the losses in the cotton crop.
Here is a practical illustration, prac-
tical not only in the way of produc-
tion, but in the way of saving wealth
and OF helping the cotton growers to
understand without much cost to
themselves how to protect the great
cotton crops of tie South. In the
tobacco fields the government is dem
onstrating how to preserve flavor of
the leaf and what makes the differ
ence in favors, thus scientifically
adding to the value which nature
has given the plant; it supplements
nature, and will ultimately give to
the tobacco grower as we'll as to the
tobacco manufacturer assistance
which without science they never
could have gained.
An exceedingly interesting expert
ment in this matter of the applica
ton of scientific knowledge to the
products of the soil is found in the
attempts to raise Smyrna figs in
California. The government inn
ported Smyrna fig trees for several
years, but the crop of figs constantly
and persistently failed, no matter
what the attempts to protect them.
At last, after long and patient study,

HARRY FARMERS


correspondence Of The Progressive armer.
Does it pay to get improved seed
at high price? In our own expert
ence, we find that the difference is
as great as that which some patent
medicines make in their advertise
ments of "before taking and after
taking" We find this demonstrated
in the Irish potato crop more than
in anything else. We planted few
nice potatoes which we purchased
from a country store, marked on the
package early Rose" Seed came
up nicely, and looked one time as if
they were going to leave our home
grown potatoes far behind; but the
yield now of our old seed is more
than double the store seed. A neigh
Dor bought some improved home
grown potatoes from a truck farmer
who paid IS or $6 per barrel for the
original seed; these promise to out
yield any other potatoes ever brought
here. Such seed compared with
most potatoes sold by merchants
would be cheap at 81 per peck. Let
us make some figures and see what
the difference on one acre would be

good seed. d..... 1900
The average farmer plants about
one-half bushel of potatoes for his
table, which is equal to 1-15 of an
acre, so his gain would be about
$500; but he would have to pay so
cents per peck for seed instead of %
cents. Now, would you think of
paying such a high price for seed?
Some farmers will go for the lowest
priced seed regardless of these fig
ures while another will stop and fig
ure a little, then make money to lend
TO his neighbor who does not count
the cost. And in few years, the think
ing farmer will buy the land of the
unthinking one and let him go some
where else and work for some man
who will give him just enough 80
live on while he is able to work and
send him to the poor house to die,
while his children are made chew
ers of wood and bearers of water"
for other people. We know this
will touch tender place with some
farmers but if we can help them to
improve, we do not care how mad
we make them.
We have seen oats this year where
the difference is 10 to 1 and yet we
re often told that there is no diff
renee in seed. Merchants are not
lame, for they generally buy for
III. farmer just such goods as he de-
mands.
We are going to try the Chadbourn
farmers plan of planting potatoes
and sowing early peas to be cut for
nav. The peas will store US nice
let of nitrogen, which suits Irish po-
ta+oes. We have some corn planted
on land that was in peas last year,
and it looks much better than where
we had cotton. What wonderful
thing the cow pea is Nitrogen is
worth about Is cents per pound;
good crop of peas will add 1OOpOQnds
to the acre, besides giving you
good crop of hay or grain. We think
it is best to have some crop growing
on the land during the winter, as
Prof. Massey says, ga nitrogen trap"
Green weeds or grass is all right.
