STARTING THE STRAWBERRY

II II. r. HAIL.)


In selecting land for straw perry
growing. avoid very sandy rs we'll as
very heavy and poorly drained SOIL.
A medium loan that is deep and re-
tensive of moisture, yet well drained
will give best results. Sand soil with
n southern exposure will produce an
early crop, but is usually lacking IN
moisture when most needed, therefore
requiring special attention in the way
of irrigation and mulchlng. COOL.
heavy soil with a northern exposure
should be selected if a late crop Is
desired. Low land. if well drained,
may be used. Sod land is not desir-
able for two reasons: First. because
of its poor physical condition, n
second. danger of damage by the
wtite grub, which is usually abundant
on sod land and very d ~astructive in a
newly set strawberry field. Land that
has been planted to hoed crops to
which liberal annual applications of
stable manure have been applied for
one or more years n kept free from
weed seeds by frequent civilizations,
may be considered as well prepared
for this crop. Further Improvement

In three weeks sow a second strip
and so on until the last of July. hTese
plots should be adjacent to the pas
ture and can be temporarily Enclosed
by woven wire, giving the sheep a
new feeding ground every four or
five days.
AS sheep want short, crisp grass it
can be secured by this metod without
overlooking the pasture and it would
be we'll to "a it SO arranged that
the sheep can be changed from one
division to another once in two
weeks.
Lambs mature quickly and make a

grain as quickly as possible.
1t is surprising how soon a lot Of
lambs will begin to eat bran. oats,

etc, if such feeds are placed within

The best way to feed grain to
lambs is to make a creep for them.
This is a per in the pasture with an
opening on each side through which
the lambs can creep but small enough
to keep the eve out.
If such a pen is mad Of Stats set
upright, the Stats may be far enough
apart to allow the lambs to Green

harvest of peas. the clover to be plOw-
ed under the following spring just
before setting the strawberry plants.
Thoroughly preparation of n in the
way of blowing n narrowing will
repay all extra expense. If stable

followed by a con blowing of
medium depth and a very thorough
narrowing. BY this method a fine
preparation is given, while the ma
nure is properly placed to feed the
strawberry plants, which root deeply,
rather than the young weeds.
Prepare plants for setting by re-
moving dead leaves and trailers. as
well as all large new leaves. leaving
no over one medium sized leaf on a
plant. Shorten the roots to three or
four inches. Plant in rows our feet
apart, setting the plants Is to "a in
ches apart in the row. Set plants. in
straight rows, firmly in moist soil
with roots well spread, being careful
to set the same depth as when stand
ing in the old bed. In moving plants
from old location to new, they should
be kept moist and covered to prevent
damage from evaporation and set as
quickly as possible after being dug.
Good cultivation at a small expense
is obtained by frequent and timely
STRINGS Of the soil. The extermina-
ton of weeds and grass after they be-
come well established is a slow anC
expensive operation. The only thins
to do is not allow the weeds to get /;
start. Cultivation should begin soor
after the plants are set and be re.
peated as often as necessary until late
fall.

the new vein disclosed several
months ago on the 250-foot level
north of the main shaft in the old
Florence Consolidated lease terri
tory. The stope is yielding about
four feet of ore that averages from
SIS to $40 per ton. The drift along
the vein is now about 140 feet in
length from the point at which it
was exposed by the west croscut 539
from the main north drift on the
level named and is at present yield
ing vein matter of low value. West
crosscut $50 is being continued to
intersect the extension of the old
Wheeler and Nevadan leases veins.
On the 350-foot level crosscutting
east continues from the main north
drift to catch the downward extern
sion of the new vein exposed on the
25O-foot level. 1t is expected that
the objective point will be reached
by the crosscut about the middle of
this month.

SAYS LITIGATION
FORCED ON HIM
STATEMENT ON APEX
LAWSUIT

In speaking of the present apex
Ii igation, George Wingfield, presi-
dent of the Reorganized Booth Min
ing company of Goldfield and var
ious other local companies, prior to
his recent return to his headquarters
in Reno, said:
81 have kept litigation out of this
camp for ten years. Now that liti-
cation has been forced on me l am
going to be fair in every respect and
try our lawsuits in the courts and
not in the newspapers. 1t is not my
disposition to work hardships on in
nocent stockholders of any of the To-
cal companies in which l am or am
not interested. 1t is my intention
to give stockholders of companies in
which / am not interested the same
consideration l give to those of COM
panies in which l am interested.
"The suit of the Reorganized
Booth Mining company against the
Jumbo Extension Mining company
has absolutely nothing to do with the
Merger Mines case. 1t is something
that has developed since the sale of
the Velvet claim to the Jumbo Ex-
tension Mining company. and it is
my duty to protect the stockholders
Of the Reorganized Booth Mining
company as we'll as those of any
other company in which l am in
terested. which l shall do regardless
of whether my interests in that
company may be larger or smaller
than in some other company.
''It is not my disposition to stop
work in this camp. l am very deep
ly interested in the welfare of Gold
field; therefore. it is my disposition
TO encourage work in every way,
and that is why l consented to the
stipulation entered into between the
Reorganized Booth Mining COM
pany and the Jumbo Extension Min
Ing company"

In speaking of the local apex liti-
CATION Tuesday prior to his return
to his headquarters in San Francisco
after a brief visit in camp, Herman
Zadig. a broker of that city and
who is president of the Silver PICK
Consolidated Mines company, said:
There is no doubt that the Booth,
on the advice of one of the best min
ing engineers man who STANDS
very high in his profession-com-
menced the apex suit against the
Jumbo Extension and Merger and
that the directors felt that on that
account there would be good chance
by bringing this case to trial, that
the Booth would win out. On the
other side, the Jumbo Extension is
in possession of the ground and may
be that company can present such
strong case to the court that IL
would win out. But what does this
all mean? A lot of expense on both
sides in the way of experts and law
yers. not to say anything as to the
tying up of the property.
"Such litigation may last for years
and after spending almost the value
of a mine, on both sides to the loss
of the stockholders, the end general
Iy is a compromise, which could have
been made at the start. l am,
therefore, strong for consolidation
on a fair basis to each company. l
feel that George Wingfield, who
has more at stake in Goldfleld tnah
anyone else, will do everything WITH
in reason to effect a consolidation
on a fair and equitable basis. Ana

no ak to grind and that l am mere

George Wingfield has done more
for Goldfield 20 keep the camp alive
than any other man and no DOUBT
was forced into this suit to protect
the stockholders of the Booth COM
