Renewal and Cultivation OF
Old Strawberry Field.

The work Of renewing sndscul-
tivating old straw berry beds
should begin Immediately after
the crop Is harvested according
to Prof. F. W. Faurot OF the
Missouri College Of Agriculture.
The rows may be +"barred off"
to q desirable width by running
a furrow along either side with
turning plow or the rows may
be narrowed by plowing out one
side only. In either case the
ground is leveled and worked
down by narrowing ani cultiyat-
ing. Many growers prefer not
to use pillow but to work out the
middle between the rows with
double shovels or other cultiva-
tors. An orchard disk, with the
sections extended just enough to
leave a row Of proper width, has
proven to be very desirable im-
plement for working out straw
tsry fields.
Perhaps the most generally sat-
lisfactory method Of renewal OF
rows is to "bar off" on one side
with pillow, turning out about
half the old row. This plan will
generally increase the number OF
new plants that will stand in the
row the following sea- son above
1.-THE number that will stand II the
rows are "barred off" on both
sides. Flowing on one side
leaves the row much less exposed
to injury from possible dry
weather later in the season. 1t
also makes it possible, when de-
sired, to maintain the field in q
proftably productive condition
i for o longer time.
4 The rows should be worked
out with hoes and the runners
trained in until desirable stand
lis obtained. A reasonably wide
row with the plants about five or
six inc hes apart gives very sat
isfac tory results in point Of size,
quantity and color Of the berries.
Cultivation should be suffici-
ent to keep the ground free from
weeds and in good tilth through
out the season.
