Il Frequently Causes Much Damage 70
the Strawberry Crop.
Strawberry leaf blight frequently
causes great damage to the straw
berry crop, as explained by grower
IN Rural New Yorker, who says that
IL makes it's appearance about the
time the fruit sets and begins its de-
structive ravages as the berries begin
to ripen. It first manifests itself by
turning the leaves a brownish red il
will then attack the fruit stems and
hulls, cutting off the supply Of nourish-
ment from the berries: the calyx be-
gins to wlther and dry up, and the
berries become soft and insipid and are
OF little value.
As the Berry Season Advances.
1t usually grows more destructive as
the berry season advances. The condi-
tions conducive to the development OF
the disease appear TO be n general
weakness Of the plants This may be
brought about from various causes.
such as old and wornout beds. inn
poverished soil. plants with a heavy
set of fruit with insufficient nourish-
ment, plants exposed during winter
without protection or unmulched beds
during hot. dry weather. Any one OF
these conditions will have a tendency
TO weaken the constitution Of tho
plants. making them an easy prey to
rust blight and other diseases.
Kinds Susceptible to sHoAt.
During the time we have been en-
gagged in growing Strawberries we
have found some varieties so constl-
tutionally strong in their vegetative
parts and so vigorous In their fruit
organs that they will do well almost
anywhere. while other sorts are con
sttutionally weak in foliage. vet
strong I'm fruit bearing propensities.
They set great quantity Of berries
with little or no vitality to mature the
fruit Such varieties are very suscept-
iblc to blight and should not be cult
waited except by those who are well
acquainted with their natural require
ments. II requires q healthy. vigorous
foliage to digest the various plant
foods found in the different soils. and
probably the safest method Of protect
Ing the plants from blight ana other
fungous diseases Is TO conserve mOis-
tUre by thorough cultivation while the
plants are gr0winc, protecting them
well during the winter with a liberal
mulch Of horse manure. This material
If left on the plant during the summer
prevents the escape Of moisture Mt a

SPRING SOWING.
a Wisconsin Farmers Ideas on Seed
ing Grain Crops.

q Wisconsin Farmers Ideas on Seed
ing Grain Crops.
While it is desirable to sow oats and
spring wheat early, there is a liability
Of doing it too soon. OF course no one
Will sow in snow, but some cultivate
land in spring before it has dried Of
That this is liable to make the soil
lumpy is well known. but it also hinders
peedy drying. Just examine the soil
surface closely. 1t will be found full
Of an infinite number Of cracks and
crevices. 1t is through these that
moisture escapes. BY stirring the soil
the openings are closed covered. and
Of course the excessive water in the
soil is prevented from escaping. This
is exactly what has been recommend
Id for corn culture. but in spring II is
ont Of place.
So says a Wisconsin farmer IN Rural
New Yorker, whore he gives this fuller
explanation Of his ideas: Where wet
springs are followed by dry periods
some may think that land should be
worked early TO prevent the escape Of
moisture. This Is not correct, for ex.
pessive water must be removed before
seed can sprout properly and grow
well. Understand that surface culu-
vation, which is so much recommend
ed now, does not preserve a large
amount Of moisture in the first six or
eight inches Of SOIL but prevents the
escape Of that constantly brought from
the water table several feet in the
ground by capillary attraction.
Working tho Land.
For best results with spring grains
the soil must be we'll prepared. On ac-
count Of the rush of spring work this
is more liable TO be neglected than the
good preparation Of corn or potato
land The first working should ne
with an implement that will tear up
the soil well. An ordinary peg tooth
harrow cannot do this. A spring tooth
harrow, a disk harrow and an ordinary
riding corn cutivator all do good work.
OF the three the spring tooth harrow
is the least desirable. It gathers corn
stubblc and other trash too much. This
can be said of corn cultivator, too,
but it is not so bad as the former i'm
plemcnt The disk harrow is really
the best implement for loosening the
packed soil I'm spring. The revolving
disks viii not gather heaps Of trash.
but rather cut it up. That is a great
point IN favor Of them, for such heaps
cause much trouble I'm the after work
Of narrowing and drilling and may
cause this vet when cutting the grain.
One working up and one or two har-
rowings before seeding and two har-
rowings after sowing will make good
seed bed on most soils. More working
/ may be necessary on some soils.

Tioncn's Caprice.
There are rivers of all lengths anC

there are rivers with all sorts of pc
,uliarities and with widely varyinc
elaims to fame. But there IS only one
glver with a personality. habits. dissi-

ans caprice; a river that goes travel
ing sidcwice, that interfercs in politics.
rearranges geography and dabbles in
real estate; a river that plays hide and
geek with you today and tomorrow fol-
lows you around like a pet dog with a
dynamite cracker tied TO its tail. That
river is the Missouri.
This thing happened In Kansas City
not many years age A party Of men
owned n strip of land along the Mis-
souri, river bank. 1t was not hand
some land. but it was valuable for fac
tory purposes. They we're offered port
ly prices for it, but held ON.
Ono day they noticed that the strip
was getting emaciated. They held IA
hurried diagnosis with Surveyor S
tape and found that half of it had been
washed away, The next year half of
the remainder had gone.
The men wanted TO sell then, but the
market seemed remarkably sluggish.
The next year the river ate so vigor-
ously that only n tiny strip about as
wide as a piece of baby ribbon was
left. The men werc much depressed.
Suddenly the land began TO increase.
The Missouri had chosen the late man.
ufaeturing site for a place TO deposit
fine 1G0 acre farm upon which it had
forcclosed mp the river. Inside Of six
months that strip Of land contained
200 acres. The men were iubfant. but
still they would not sell They wanted
another 100 acres, they said. They
strolled along the bank each day and
urged the river in proprietary tones to
build faster
Then the river changed IT'S mind once
more and not only wiped out the extra
100 acres. but the original 100 acres,
every foot of them. The next year II
built Zip 5CO acres in the same spot. but
they all Lelorged TO the man who own
ed the ground behind the original plot.
They have stayed there ever since
that is. up TO last reports. For high
financing and property juggling the

like a child. I hate to think what it
would DO for a man if It had a person
