Geo. E. Preblo said that this movement
had been on foot for some months but
that new lifo had been given it by reason
os the fact that il has been proposed to
tap the Holbrook country in a way an
tagonistio to the interests Of Rocky Ford.
We should have a Santa Fe spur or a
trolley line to Holbrook. BY orgaization
and work we can not only secure the
building OF this road but can secure an
ice plant and other valuable enterprises.
&c. Gracoy Of Holbrook said that the
prospects for spur to Holbrook was OK
cellent IL 1000 sugar beet acreage was
secured. and tho list now showed that
less than 800 acres were needed to make
that amount.
C. F. Evans endorsed Mr.. Grocoy's
views. Our proposed board Of trade
working with the American Beet Sugar
Co. can influence capital or the Santa Fe
to build road to Holbrook. Now is the
time to act II we would save business for

farmers paid the Santa Fe last season

Pot Grown Strawberry Plants For
summer Setting.


Summer Setting.
Strange TO relate, few people realize
the advantage OF planting at this sea-
son OF the year. The ordinary person
has not the patience To wait for ground
layer plants 10 develop and bear fruit
which necessarily requires two years.
This fact is very easily explained: In
removing a layer plant from the prop
agating bed IL Is impossible to remove
any soil with it; therefore il is neces-
sary for the young plant TO begin life
anew I'm its new home. Not 80 with
pot grown plants. They, beng removed
from the pot with the ball Of earth in
tact, do not suffer any setback what
ever. In fact, we have observed pot
grown plants growing in boxes after
they have been prepared for shipment
in the packing sheds. one can readily
understand the financial saving in
these plants when we consider the use
of our land and labor required for two
years In developing ground layer plants
before we realize any benefit from
them. Pot grown plants set during the
months of July and August will bear
a full crop Of fruit the following June.
How to Plant.
Many people are under the impress
sion that they cannot grow the straw
berry unless they have some specially
favored land location and situation.
This Is a great mistake. The straw
berry may be grown TO perfection on
any ground that will produce crop Of
potatoes, corn, peas or other yegeta-
bles. Ground that has been used for
fruit or vegetables is the best for the
strawberry. Almost any soil will an
land should be well enriched with some
good stable manure or fertilizer. The
ground should be thoroughly plowed
and narrowed until ii is in first class
condition. Strawberries should never be
planted on newly plowed sod ground
Ito prevent the ravages of grubs). Avoid
planting ON a windy day. Ten min
utes wind is worse on the roots of
plants than an hours sun. Only drop
few plants in advance of the planter.
For field culture set the plants four
feet apart between the rows and twelve
to fifteen inches apart in the rows.
Garden Culture.
For garden culture they may be
planted two and half feet apart be-
tween rows and one foot apart In the
rows. Set the plant so that the crown
shows above the surface. Plant the
pistillate varieties between the perfect
towering kinds, having row Of the
perfect varieties to every third row Of
the imperfect varieties. IL you are
planting in large way make furrow
six inches deep and set the roots
straight down. Draw the soil around
the plants with the hands and so firm
the soil around them that the leaf of
the plants win break In two before
the plants will allow themselves TO
leave their places. Should the ground
be dry or the sun very warm use any
mulchinz material at hand that will
admit OF light and air. to shade the
plants for a few days or until you
have rain.-T. J. Dwyer
