in the first case to give three irriga-
tlons week; in the second, two. The
length of time to run will depend upon
the soil.
After the first picking is over, the
bed should be renovated and, in many
cases, this will result in considerable
second crop in September. Where the
matted row is used, the first thing will
be to NOW off the old tops and then re-
duce the width of the row to about one
half by blowing furrow down each
side. Thorough hand hoeing should
follow, and the thinning out of weak
plants. This accomplished, stir the
soil between the rows and harrow and
cultivate in succession. During this
time no water is applied and the plants
seem to benefit by this partial drying.
Next furrow out and irrigate, cultivate
and proceed as during the first season.
After two seasons fruiting the bed
should be plowed up and some other
crop introduced as a rotation crop.
When all things are taken into account
beds will probably not pay for the time
expended in their care after the second
year of cropping. Meanwhile new beds
should be in course of development.
The enemies of the strawberry in this
state are fortunately few. The straw
berry leaf-spot is the only fungus
trouble, add the leaf-roller and crown
borer practically its only insect depre-
dators. Where any of these are abun-
dant the most effective treatment seems
to be to burn over the beds as soon
after moving as the leaves have dried
out. Arsenical polsons may be used
for the insects, but are of doubtful
value, inasmuch as for the most part
they fail to come within reach of the
insects. Different varieties show great
difference in their ability to resist the
leaf-spot, and in general resi- slant vari-
eties should be chosen. Plants which
show the disease before setting should
have the diseased foliage removed and
should then be sprayed with Bordeaux
mixture, three or four times after set
ting. In the fruiting season they may
be sprayed just before blooming and
after most of the blooming is over. AS
rule, this, is not so troublesome
disease in Colorado, as it is in some of
the more humid regions.
The next article will treat of buying
plants, choosing varieties, pollination,
etc.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.

1.-THE STRAWBERRY BED IN ALL SEA-
SONS.
After the strawberry plants are set
constant care must be given them, es
pecially during the first season.
1t will take from two weeks to q
month for the plants to establish them
selves in the soil. During this time
they will likely need water several
times, but probably cultivation may
well be omitted until the plants are
established, unless it be to make a
shallow surface mulch between the
rows after irrigation to prevent the
evaporation of the water from the soil
Frequency of cultivation will depend
upon irrigation, which will largely de-
pend upon the character of the soil.
The strawberry can use great guam
tity of water; nevertheless it is rather
particular as to how it gets it. Some
who have heard the statement made
that it is almost an aquatic, have
taken this too literally and diked the
field and turned on the water with
fatal results. 1t should never be
flooded. A very simple test will show
the moisture condition of the soil. Dig
up handful of soil from four or five
inches below the surface and crush it
by clenching the fist. If when you
again open your hand the soil crumbles
down, it is too dry; if it has the ap-
pearance of mud or has wet the hand
even slightly, it is too wet or at least
is not suffering from lack of moisture;
if a mold is formed which does not
crumble of Itself, but does so readily
when pressed slightly with the thumb,
the soil is in the very best condition as
regards the necessary balance between
soil air and soil moisture. This is a
general test and in the particular case
of the strawberry may lean further in
the direction of moisture than in the
case OF most cultivated plants. Set
rules for irrigation other than this can
not be given. The grower must learn
it for his own conditions.
Cultivation should always follow ir-
rigation as closely as possible. l. e., as
soon as one can get onto the soil. The
only exception to this will be while the
plants are getting established. The
form of cultivator will depend upon the
size of the bed. For everything above
an acre horse power will certainly be
advisable. For hand power the various
types represented by PLANET, Jr.,
Iron Age and New Model" tools
are desirable. The particular style will
depend upon what other purposes one
may desire to use it for, as for in
stance, the home garden. A rolling
runner cutter to substitute for one of
the cultivator hoes upon occasion is a
desirable addition. During the first
season no implement will be found
quite as desirable, at least for finishing
touches, as hand hoe. With it one

can draw the soil to or away from ths
plant at will, dodge runners which ma.
be taking root in desirable places, ano
do other little jobs, impossible of ac-
complishment with the more cumbrous
implement.
For the first two or three months all
runners and flower buds should be re-
moved. If the hill method is to be
used, this should be continued through
the first season, and the runners re-
moved in the second season. If the
hedge row is to be used, those runners
which tend to fill the spaces between
the plants are left and the rest re-
moved. One may vary this to make
the row any width he desires, and in
the full matted row they are allowed
to run even at right angles until the
row is l8 to "a inches across. Even in
this style however, not too many plants
should be allowed to form. Certain
varieties tend to form many at the ex-
pense of fruit production. The worst
weed in such cases is the strawberry
weed. Ideally the plants should be
four to five inches apart to give the
best results, and the best growers will
thin them out as they tend to get
thicker than this. In this connection it
must be remembered that the fruit
buds are fully formed this year for
next years crop, and if we grow too
much foliage this year, we shall not
grow so many fruit buds for next
years harvest.
The final task of the season is mulch
ing. The best materials are spent
manure and straw; but the latter is
more apt to blow away unless
weighted with clods between the rows.
The mulch should be applied to depth
of two to three inches in November or
December. 1t is rot the purpose of
the mulch to keep the plants warm,
but to keep as uniform a set of condi-
tions as possible. There is in this way
less risk of loss through the heaving
out of plants, winter killing through
alternate freezing and thawing, and
the like. The mulch should be raked
off shortly after the plants start into
growth in the spring.
Cultivation, except possibly between
rows, may be dispensed with in the
spring until after picking time, but ir-
rigation must be frequent and thor
ough. The fruit having in the neigh
borhood of 80 per cent. water fire
quently more) in its composition, the
necessity of copious supply is at once
apparent. Probably two or three times
week, just before and during the
fruiting season, will not be too much.
A provisional plan may be suggested.
as follows: First day, pick fruit, and,
after given portion is picked over,
turn on water for several hours; Sec
ond day, do not pick on the irrigated
portion; third day, pick again; if the
soil is heavy, half day longer may
well intervene. This may be adjusted
