STRAWBERRY CULTURE.
Planting and Thinning.

The horticultural department of
the Colorado Agricultural college has
recently received many calls for in
formation concerning the growing
OF Strawberries, which it is hoped
may be met with the following ac-
count:
This is one of the few fruits
which can be grown successfully in
practically all except the unirrigat-
ed portion of the state, l. e., the mat
ter of high altitude does not prevent
the culture of the fruit at least for
home consumption, for they can de-
velop their fruit in very short sea-
son and the entire plant is easily
protected in the winter. However,
the directions here given apply only
to attitudes below 1000 feet and
will have to be modified for higher
localities. This, however, is mere
ly a matter of common sense.
Where one has the opportunity to
choose, and the willingness to wait,
two seasons before setting the bed.
The program then would be to plant
leguminous crop, preferably an an
nual. as field peas, COW peas, etc.
This he should plow under in the
fall, and during the following season
grow upon the land any cultivated
crop which does not produce fruit, e
e., potatoes. beets, fodder, corn (in
rows), etc. In this way the excess
of nitrogen stored up by the legume'
may be reduced and the fibre become
better Incorporated in the soil in ths
form of humus. Also, the manure
can well be introduced for this crop
AS variation from this plan, al
old alfalfa field may be chosen t.
precede the cultivated crop, bu
the difficulty of killing out thi
plant even by thorough cultivation
is well known.
Ordisarily the grower will wisl
to set his plants at once upon sucl
land as is available, although he
likely to have better success by fol
lowing the above preparatory plan.
The question he will ask is, wha
is the ideal location, and how ia
may we depart from such an ideal

purpose which the grower has in
view. Most varieties yield most
heavily in the matted row, but at
somewhat of sacrifice of size. For
commercial purposes and on a large
scale this will probably be prefer
able. A greater abundance of larger
berries at the expense of some de-
crease in total yield per acre will be
secured by the second system. 1t is
well adapted to the needs of the pro-
system tends to produce extra fancy
berries and is the ideal for the anna
teur and the home garden. For the
first system, set the plants 8 by "a
inches apart in rows 81 to feet
apart; for the second, IA to 90
inches in rows 3 feet apart; for the
third IL to Is inches by 21s to 3
feet.
Having lined out the row, mark
out the burrows for irrigation. The
ordinary furrow made in this way is
too deep for the plants upon one side
of the furrow, this may be retained
for the. first irrigation. The plants
had better be set upon the shady
slope of the fullow, as whiting is less
likely to occur there. This matter
| of the prevention of whiting and dry
ing out is of much more importance

in the humid regions. There
it ts customary to distribute
the plants in advance in
| approximately the positions in which
they are to be set. Here the plants
must be kept in fresh and moist
condition to the very ,moment of
planting. To this end they must not
be exposed to the sun and air for an
instant longer than Is necessary to
transfer them to the soil. With the
roots covered the danger is reduced.
The advantage of the shady side of
the furrow is that light and heat
both increase loss of water through
Transportation.
For making the hole into which
the plant is to be set, fat mason e
trowel pushed forward and back to
make a wedge-shaped cavity is an

ling with long handle fastened to

II may be used In either warm or
cold water, but warm water Is pre-

After the leaves appear ON the
trees 1t would be well to keep close
watch for little white patches which
indicate the presence of this. insect
II they are not too numerous, they
may be destroyed and the insect be
kept in check by swabbing over these
patches with coal oil. This can be
done by taking a small quantity of
oil In basin or small dish and ap-
plying 1t by means OF swab or
paint brush.

SPRING REMEDIES
FOR THE WOOLLY APHIS

We have had another mild winter
and, as result, the woolly aphis of
the apple trees has lived over in
rather large numbers. The last
brood of the lice that came into
existence in the fall very largely
migrated down the trees and spent
the winter in any convenient hid
ing place that would give them some
protection from the cold. These
little lice do not have the cottony
secretions which give the larger lice
the white color, so that they are
likely to be taken for n different in
sect.
In a recent visitation OF many or
chards OF the state, / found these
young lice in very large numbers
about the crowns Of the trees just
beneath the surface, where the earth
had cracked open SO that they could
enter, and In some numbers upon the
trunks and branches beneath scaly
bark are the dead bodies OF the large
lice that were killed by the first cold
weather OF late fall or early winter.
As soon as we have few consecu-
tive warm days these little lice will
locate themselves upon the tender

cosmopolitan and varieties may
be found which will give fair
returns even in heavy soil. General
ly, however. such soils are to be
avoided. Sandy soils produce earlier
at the expense of productiveness. A
too open subsoil means a lack of
water holding capacity; neverthe-
less, the other extreme must be
avoided, that is, free water must not
stand in the subsoil. If this tendency
exists, drainage must be provided.
During the fall or winter manure
should be applied as heavily as fifteen
or twenty tons per acre. This should
be spread as evenly as possible, pre-
ferably with a manure spreader. The
question of commercial fertilizers is
a negligible one in this state. There
is no doubt but that the yield Is
somewhat increased, but II is ex-
tremey doubtful whether the in
crease in yield will pay the actual
cost of the fertilizer, T. o. b. the
farm, plus the cost of its application.
1t Is further extremely doubtful
whether the same result may net
be secured by cultural methods and
| careful use of manure.
The manure above mentioned
should be plowed in and its thorough
incorporation secured preferably by
cross plowing. Following this should
come a stenuous narrowing. The
soil can scarcely be put in too fine a
| filth, and to this end the finishing
touches may well be given with 6
"planker" or leveler of some descrip
tion.
The plants should be set as early
as possible after water becomes
available. On the eastern slope thi.
will be between the last of Marcel
and the first OF May.

are brought into the largest number
of points of contact with the soil,
which is an advantage in the forma-
tion of the new root system; in the
second case, the bud from which the
new plant is to be formed Is free
to grow and expand; whereas. when
set below the surface, 1t is likely to
result in stunning of the whole
plant. The soil may be pressed
about the plant by reinserting the
trowel or wedge and firming the soil
against the plant.
The water should be turned into
the burrows Immediately after the
plants are set, and allowed to run
several hours or until the soil is well
soaked to some distance out from
each side of the row.
