CARE OF STRAWBERRY
Stands Uniquely Alone in List Of
Small Fruits.
With Good Treatment Plant Will
Adapt Itself to Almost Any Soil
and Produce a Fairly Good

In the list of fruits the strawberry
stands uniquely alone in three partic-
lars: "a 1t is the first fruit of the

With good treatment the strawberry
will adapt itself to and produce a
fairly good yield on almost any soil
thai will grow food garden and farm
crops. Like other fruits, however, it
shows decided preferences. It sue
ceeds better on rather compact soil
that will absorb and retain large
amounts to moisture than on ashy
loose soil of a thirsty nature. For in
experienced growers a soil of medium
fertility is safer, and in many re-
spects better than one over rich.

make a serious mistake of selecting

SPECIAL CARE AND FEED FOR CALVES.

Calves are fed new milk until four
weeks old if to be sold for veal. Those
reared for use in the dairy are fed new
milk for a week or more, and then
gradually changed to skinned or to
separator milk, never feeding quite
as much as the calf can drink. About
one pint of fresh buttermiIk should
be added to the separator milk for
each calf. At four weeks a little TAX
seed meal should be given with the
milk and a handful of shorts after.
Calves are weaned at six Il eight
months old. when they should have

the richest part of the garden and of
manure or other strongly nitrogen
u fertilizers.
Planting season may begin with the
first good fall rains and continue un-
til March Is. or so long as the soil
remains cool, and moist. While sue
cessful paintings are sometimes made
during midwinter there is danger on
clay soils Of the plants being lifted
out Of the ground by repeated freez-
ing and thawing. 1t is better to plant
before the severe winter freezes or
as soon as possible after winter
weather is past. Successful paintings
are sometimes made during midsum-
mer by taking advantage of a rainy
spell of weather and shifting plants,
with soil adhering to the roots, to
nicely prepared soil near by. In the
gulf region planting is frequently
done during the late summer and
early fall. Plants set at any time,
when the weather Is favorable, from
July to December should produce a
fair crop Of fruit the following spring.
Before planting the soil should be
thoroughly broken and pulverized to
a good depth. The rows should be
slightly elevated. If the hill method
of growing is adopted, as is the GUS
tom in South Mississippi. three feet
between rows Is about right. If the
matted row is used, three and one
half to our feet between rows Is
better. With summer and fall plant
ings, which are expected to bear
fruit the following spring, plants
should be set not more than twelve
inches apart in the row. Varieties
like Excelsior. Lady Thompson and
Klondike, which make many n
(new plants), need not be set closer
than thirty inches apart in making
spring paintings. Stooling kinds like
Nick Dinner and Candy should stand
eighteen to twenty-four inches apart

them covered with some moist mate
rial until they are committed to the
soil. If the roots are long cut them
back about four inches in length.
Settlers should follow Immediately be-
hind the choppers. Care should be
taken to spread out the roots of each
plant in their natural position and to
work finely %pulverized soil in among
them with the hand. The soil should
be firmly pressed over the roots. In no
case should the crowns or center
buds rest below the surface of the
ground.
Cultivation required for strawber-
ries does not differ materially from
that given the average garden veg
table or nicely treated corn or cot
ton crop. Differences In latitude,
soils. seasons, etc., render it neces-
sary to vary general rules to suit ex-

The house reversed itself in the Nc
Cullough early adjournment resolution,
which passed Friday by a vote of So to

which, therefore, renders the resolution
imperative.
The house passed a bill authorizing
municipalities to issue bonds for the

equipping agricultural high schools.
There was some spirited opposition to
the bill for the reason, as stated by
some members, it proposed to tread on

SOME FINE SAMPLES

C. A. Rickert, representative
of the Ware Binder Attachment
Co., was in the Chronicle Office
Wednesday evening and exhibited
several rare samples of flax
twine and toweling which had
been made from the flax straw
threshed in the Golden Valley,
at their plant in minnesota.
The toweling is an extra fine
quality, soft and strong. while
the twine could not be beaten
anywhere. This forever knocks
the argument in the head that
twine cannot be made from flax
straw grown in the Golden VAL
ley. The officers Of the company
in Minneapolis are elated over
the results and will, most likely,
start building the Beach plant as
soon as the weather will permit
in the spring.
