RETAIN THE SOIL MOISTURE
.
portant Factor In Growing Large
Crops Of the Small Fruits.

Conservation OF soil moisture I 70
gard as the most important Of all the
factors having to do with the produc.
ton Of large crops Of small fruits.
Under present methods the question Of
weeds does not concern me at all. for
in the process Of ideal maintenance
tillage weed growth is suppressed in
it's infancy. The only time that weed
growth is likely to prove a factor Of
any. considerable consequence is dur
ing seasons Of extremes in precipita-
ton and, in the case Of Strawberries,
during the blooming and fruiting sea-
sons, says q writer in the Horticul-
turist.
During the first years Of my expert
ence as a grower Of strawberries l
thought that the one great purpose Of
cultivation was to kill weeds. Since
that time the weed question has been
eliminated as a factor of importance in
fruit-growing operations.
Where the dust mulch is zealously
maintained there is little chance for
weeds. A few may escape, but such
are easily disposed of.
The plan or methods of culture
followed has much to do with the ease
or diff Guilty Of maintaining an efficient
earth mulch. That method which per-
mits of the stirring Of the greatest
amount of surface with horse-drawn
tools is the methods the most to be
desired.
It is essential that this mulch be
maintained close around each indi-
vidual plant, for If this is not done the
aggregate area thus left open to sur
face evaporation is considerable.
Then, too, the moisture content of the
soil directly under the mulched sur
larry action of water toward the dried
soil under the unmulched surface.
Close around the plants the soil
should not be stirred to a greater
depth than one inch. One-half ever
will work wonders in conserving soil
moisture.
How frequently should cultivation
be given? This depends somewhat
upon the nature of the soil, and fire.
quency of showers. AS a rule, once
a week will be sufficient. In case Of
showers, the ground should be gone
over as soon as the soil is dry enough
to permit of cultivation. Where show
ers are of daily or frequent occur
renee this rule cannot be followed. It
then becomes a question Of judgment,
with an element Of luck, perhaps, as
to which shower is to be the last.

that S3 per cent Of a test lot of hogs

SNAKE THAT DIDN'T WARN.

So I picked up a rock
 Yes yes. we've heard that story before, interrupted one Of the club men, you noticed that the rock was heavy, looked at it and saw it was specked with gold, so you staked the creek in Snake Bite gulch and got stung.
 Not a bit.'' replied the engineer. I picked it up. I could tell by the heft of it. besides, felt zinc in the air and felt it's emanatfons. I didn't have to look, even if I were not per. fectlty aware of the fact that I was standing onN the apex of the Blue Smoke lode.
 No, gentlemen, the point is thiss we didn't discover that this snake had a rattle on the end of his tail uI- til we plunked him with those zinlx- ferrous rocks. We knew that he was watching us all the time by the way he would turn his head whenever we moved. No, that yarn about a rat t1esnake's always giving warning when he's going to strike is just as true as, as-well did you ever hear a mule bray before he kicked ?''-En- gineering and Mining Journal
