THE STRAWBERRY.

There is probably no fruit that can
adapt itself to such wide variations
of soil and climate as the strawberry.
Much of our Puget Sound country is
particularly we'll adapted to the grow
ing of this fruit and astonishing yields
are sometimes received from only a
few acres. This has caused great
many inquiries on strawberry culture.
To make a success in commercial
way with this berry the grower must
give his field the most intensive
culture. The crop is very perishable
and must be harvested just when 1t
is ready; delay of a few days may
mean the difference between profit
and loss. The labor and market
problems are the two great questions
that must be solved before our high
priced lands are planted to straw
berries.
A choice of location, then, would
be one which is near and easily ac-
cessible to good market. 1t should
be near enough large town so that
plenty of pickers could be secured.
The strawberry will grow on a great
variety of soils but the better the
physical condition Of the soil, the
better are the results obtained. Good
drainage is absolutely necessary.
On newly cleared land or on land
that has been neglected, crop OF
clover or vetch should be grown and
we'll worked into the soil before
planting. Flowing should be deep
and the soil worked fine to the bot
tom of the furrow. Thorough pre-
paration of the soil before planting is
essential.
Planting should be in rows with the
plants set in hills. The distance be-
tween rows and between individual
plants in the row will depend upon
the soil. On heavy soils where the
plants make vigorous growth they
cannot be set as close as on lighter
soils. In Western Washington where
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-03-01

plant growth is vigorous the distance
for setting are from three to three
and one half feet between the rows
with plants from twelve to eighteen
inches apart in the row. Only good
healthy plants should be set. If pos
sible the new plants should be secured
from the fields which bear the largest
crops. New plants are produced on
runners or shoots thrown out by the
mother plant. First and second run
ner plants are usually larger and
more vigorous than those borne near
the tip of the runner. The setting of
selected plants is so important that
many nurserymen make practice OF
saving only those plants which are
produced by individual plants with
records of phenomenal yields. In
this way strains of pedigreed or
selected plants are secured. 1t will
pay to set out plants from selected
strain.
Planting should be done as soon as
possible after the soil has been work
ed down fine and while it is still fresh
and mellow. The rows can be marked
off with a marker or else a line can
be used. A very servicable marker
can be made by attaching several run
ners or small wheels to cross piece
and at intervals for the distance be-
tween rows. If but one row is set at
time a wire OF strong cord may be
used as guide line with marks on
this line indicating the distance be-
tween plants in the row.
All long and broken roots should be
removed from the plant, leaving
compact vigorous root system. Most
of the foliage should be removed,
leaving only the terminal bud or
growing point and one or two young
leaves. If this is done the roots can
become we'll established before there
is much evaporation of moisture from
the plant through the leaves.
The best plant setter is an active
man on his hands and knees A
dibble or a short handled hoe makes

seasons.
Spots of white mould appear on the
leaves and fruit, which as they de-
veIop, turn to a brownish color, and
often form irregular shaped patches.
Very minute black specks are pro-
duced in the patches and the spores
which reproduce the fungus are borne
in these small black specks or spore
cases.
Plants badly affected with the dis.
ease produce fruit of a low market
value. Although the mouldy patches
can often be rubbed off, it is a tedious
operation and would hardly pay for
the trouble.
Mildew can usually be controlled
by spraying with lime sulphur solu

setting. The plant should be placed
erect with the crown at the surface OF
the soil, and fine soil pressed firmly
around the roots. If the soil has been
we'll prepared and plants well set
there will be very few lost in plant
ing
Whether the plants should be set in
spring or fall will depend upon local
conditions If the soil is apt to freeze
during winter and heave out the roots
of the young plants, spring setting is
more desirable, but in a rather light
soil and in a mild climate fall setting
will give the plants earlier start.
The plants should not be allowed to
form runners nor to bear fruit the
first year. All of the vigor should
90 into the formation of we'll develop
ed plants. Cultivation should be
frequent but care taken that the roots
of young plants are not disturbed.
During the first season cultivation
may be continued until quite late in
the summer. Hoeing is necessary to
control weeds and grass between the
plants. In Western Washington the
plants need very little attention dur
ing the winter but in localities where
the winter freezes are severe the field
will need covering with straw or
leaves.
After the berry field has been plant
ed, cultivated and hoed thoroughly
the first year the work has really just
begun. In early spring the paths be
tween the rows will need to be plow-
ed and narrowed. Cultivation will
be necessary about every week or ten
days to keep the surface of the soil
loose.
Picking the fruit should be done in
the afternoon or at least late enough
in the day so that the fruits are dry.
Fruit covered with dew will not ship
we'll as it soon rots. Women and
girls make the best pickers for they
are quick and careful.
Most growers in the strawberry
districts of Puget Sound allow their
plants to bear two or three successive
seasons without renewing their fields
or replanting.
a Varieties most common to Western
Washington are the Maj shall, Magoon
and Clark's Seeding.
