 J. A. Isham of West street reports a very successful season with straw berries From a piece of ground 25x 255 feet, more than TOO quarts of ber- rieS were picked, and V1th the excep- tion of those used by the family, were marketed; for which Mir. Isham real ized the handsome sum of $71.36. The last picking was made July 19 when about six quarts of berries were se- cured. The plants from which this seasons crop was secured were set in 1914. The varieties were: Crescent" and "G1en Mary, 750 plans were set. As it was very dry at time of setting many of the plants died; and this sea- sons large yield of berries was the product of the plants that survived. MT Isham states that the fertilizer used was a home mixture" of bone meal, high grade sulphate of potash, nitrate of soda and slag, 450 pounds of this mixture was used, one-half being sown broadcast and narrowed in when the plants were set, and the oth- CT half applied as a top dressing last spring No other fertilizer was used.
