Plan to Raise Strawberries Next Year

rles over period OF from four to
five weeks of time For the small
strawberry plot, we would prefer to
cultivate these plants by what Il
known as the hill system. This means
that no runner plants should be al
lowed to grow, but that each plant as
purchased and set, shall be permitted
10 deylop TO the full Us own iruitlns
powers These plants may be set
15x15 inches appart.
Where the plot Is somewhat larger
and is TO be cultivated with the hoe
rather than with a horse-cultiyator,
the single-hedge system may be
adopted If desired, and rows may be
made 30 inches apart and the plants
set 20 inches apart In the rows. Un-
der this system the grower VIII per-
nit the maturing Of two runner
plants from the mother, or original
plant set, and these plants viii he
layered In line with the mother-plant
In the row.
This will give the grower three
plants or fruiting In the season FOL
lowing instead Of one plant, and as
there will be ample room for sunshine
and air there probably Will be an
actual Increase In the quantity of
fruit as compared with the hill sys-
tenn, although it must be said that
the hill system Is the one which VIII
yield the greatest number of large
berries
In setting plants. there Is nothing
so convenient in the way of tool as
the dibble. This Is large steel b'ade
with handle, and while the plants
are being set is held in the growers
right hand. The dibble should be
forced to the depth Of six inches,
when pressed outward. so as to make
an opening large enough 10 take in

but Mrs Guy Eaton and a score OF
others are pressing close for the lead.
There has been much talk In the last
few days of dark horses but none
have as yet developed, although
something is likely to turn up at any
moment and the leaders should watch
their laurels If they are not to be
defeated. There is such a thing as
over confidence and II is the impress
sion of the contest manager that
there are several of the contestants
affected with 1t right now. There
are several who have been doing fine
work right up to the last two days
who seem to feel that they have al
ready secured votes enough to "cinch
ore Of the prizes and they are taxi
ing things easy this week. They are
making the mistalo2 Of their lives.
The contest manager knows abso-
lutely that there Is not contestant
In the whole working force of the
contest that can afford to have that
feeling. There Is no one who has
any certainty of winning one of the
prizes and the first thing those over
confident contestants know someone
will slip a few more subscriptions
In and secure votes enough to defeat
the over confident contestants.
In the outside districts the inter
est has become more lively in the
past three or four days. and some
contestants who have heretofore
seemed satisfied to have their friends
boost a little and to set back them
selves and take what they get, are
now up and doing and will show the
present leaders something new In con-
test campaigning II the haders do
not watch out. In the towns of Col
linsvile. Chelsea. Ninita, Claremorc.
Coweta and Kitfer, the interest Is
intense and in all the other towns and
villages to more or les marked
degree.
The race is now down to mat
ter OF hours. Two more days after
today and the contest will como to
a close. Ten O'Clock in the evening,
Friday. December 22nd is the clos
ing hour and all subscriptions and re
serve votes must be In by that time.
Do not overlook single subscription
and do not fail TO have them all here
on time. There is still plenty of
time to get out and secure scores
of subscriptions from among your
friends II you will Just make the try.
Don't put It off until the las, hour
but do 1t now. II you walt some
other contestant will come along and

In this connection, we should say
that all plants should be pruned be-
fore setting, The rule 10 observe IL
This may be done by taking a large
pair of shears and cutting off the low
er end of the mass of roots. Then
when you place these roots in the soil,
spread them out like fan.
The plants should be cultivated
every ten days during the season, and
a good rule to observe is that after
every rain, just as soon as the soil
will crumble in the hand the plants
should be cultivated. BY so doing, the
surface Of the soil IL covered with fine
particles OF earth which, in common
parlance, is dust-mulch.
This dust mulch destroys capillary
action, and instead Of the moisture In
the soil eyaporatng into the air, 1t
can escape from the soil only through
the plants themselves.
Set out your plants in April or May
of 1912 and pinch off every blossom
that appears during the entire grow
ing season of 1912, but in the spring
Of 1913 every blossom should be al
lowed to develop into large and Is
cious berry.
After the plants have been culti-
waited the first season. and when the
first heavy freeze has come. the plants
should be mulched with straw OF any
kind. Mulching between the rows
should be at a depth of from two to
four inches, depending upon the elm
ate, and the mulchlng over the plants
should be very light, indeed, except
in the more rigorous climates.
The strawberry is seldom killed by
freezing. 1t Is the alternate freezing
and thawing that causes the soil to
heave, that is dangerous to the straw
berry.

Government statistics tells us that
next to the apple, the strawberry Is
the most universally grown fruit In
this country. and that the amount Of
annual revenue received from the
strawberry crop is second only TO that
received from the apple crop.
Viewed, therefore, from the stand
point of pleasure and profit, the
strawberry may be ranked among our
greatest and most promising Of pro-
ducts.
First, let us consider the soil Tho

extremely rich soil. still is heavy

ANY soil that viii grow good Agrn,

If the soil is composed largely of

But mulching serves many other
and important purposes-it helps to
retain moisture in the soil; 1t adds to
the richness of the soil. and 1t keeps
down the weeds while the crop OF
fruit is coming on, thus rendering II
unnecessary for any cultivation to go
forward during this important period.
But to the lover Of fine, clean fruit,
free from all grit and sand, the most
important thing about this mulching
is that 1t gives the fruit clean carpet
to ripen upon, and thus the fruit goes
to the table clean, and free from

the roots of the plants.
The roots should be placed in this
opening before the dibble is with
drawn. After the roots are placed in
the opening and the dibble with
drawn, thrust 1t into the soil about
two inches from the opening. Draw
1t toward you. thus pressing the
earth firmly against the roots of the
plant. When this is done, firm the
soil with the fingers about the crown
of the plant. leaving the top of the
crown just even with, or slightly
above the surface of the soil.
