PLANTING STRAWBERRIES.
Hill and Row Systems Most Commonly
Used.

Hill and Row Systems Most Commonly
Used.
The strawberry leads the list of
small fruits in popularity because of
its wide range of adaptation to soil
and climatic conditions. The large
number of varieties give long season
of the most delicious fruit. Its ease of
culture and its early season of bearing
make it desirable home and market
crop.
"The strawberry is the most produc-
tive in sandy loan soil, but If this
type of soil is not available it may be
grown with good results in many of
the heavier Soils" says Mr.. Merrill of
the Kansas station. "The poorest re-
suits usually occur ON the sandiest
soils, for these dry out more severely
in the late summer months and pre-
vent the formation of new plants and
runners and reduce the development
of fruiting buds for the subsequent
season.
Freshly broken land is usually ideal
for a strawberry bed, provided it has
first been planted to some cultivated
crop, such as potatoes. Sod land is
likely to be infested with white grubs,
which are a dangerous foe to the ten
der plants"
There are many different ways of
planting, but the two most commonly
used are the hill system and the mat
ted row system. In the hill system
the plants are set eighteen inches
apart and no runners are allowed to
develop. The strength of the plant is
utilized in the formation of one stool.
All the work done in cultivation in
this system must be done with hand
implements, but the returns are higher
than in the matted row system. The
modification of this system is some
times practiced by setting the rows
three feet apart and the plants eight
cen inches apart in the row.
In the matted row system the rows
are from three to four feet apart, and
the plants twelve to eighteen inches
apart in the row. New plants are per-
mitted to develop until the row is two
feet wide. With this system the work
can be done mainly with horse drawn
implements.

THE MATCHING EGGS.

Select eggs from only the best hens
in the flock. Twenty or twenty five
should be selected and the eggs from
them kept for Matching purposes.
Eggs for Matching should not weigh
less than two nor more than two and
One-half ounces. They should not be
washed. as this lowers their vitality.
The eggs should be gathered two
or three times daily and placed in a
dry place where the temperature is
below 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
Keep the eggs on their sides and turn
twice daily before putting them into
the incubator or under the hen.
Avoid eggs that have transparent
shells or a roughened appearance.
Long, pointed or short, rounded eggs
should not be used.
Use eggs uniform in size, as they
absorb the heat to a better advantage.
Hold no eggs for Matching purposes
longer than two weeks before putting
them into the incubator or under the
hen.-OhiO Station

GROWING HoRsERADIsH.
Receiving More Attention Every Year
as a Commercial Crop In Kansas.

Receiving More Attention Every Year
as Commercial Crop In Kansas.
The growing of horseradish as a
commercial crop is receiving more at
tention every year. Soil and climatic
conditions In portions of Kansas are
well adapted to its growth. Horse
radish production near Topeka. is a
cities and many small towns may be
found gardeners who make a specially
of grating and bottling this crop.
''Horseradish is best adapted to a
cool, deep. rich soil and late growing
season." says NJ. F. Ahearn, associate
professor of horticulture in the Kansas
State Agriculture college. ut grows
until cold weather and because of its
rapid growth frequently becomes a
troublesome weed. 1t is a perennial.
"Horseradish is propagated from root
cuttings, which should be smooth and
straight and from four to six inches
long. The tops of the cuttings should
be placed from three to five inches be-
low the surface of the soil. Horserad-
ish should be planted twelve to eight
cen inches apart in rows sufficiently
wide to permit horse tillage."
The crop is harvested by blowing out
washing and grading the roots. 1t is
necessary to grade the roots so that
they will fit the grating machine. The
price of horseradish varies from So to
$50 ton. An acre produces from two
to four tons, but greater yields are OBJ
tanned from deep, rich soils where
there is no lack of moisture.

quently responsible for unnecessary
cost in the tillage of orchards. There
is no one orchard operation that will
probably allow more economy than
that of tillage. Few growers have
studied closely enough the apparent eff
ficiency and value of such tools as the
disk, spring tooth harrow and a good
weeder. Nor have they worked out
the most economical size of the har-
rows, which may be obtained in diff
ferent lengths from ten feet up. The
implement of proper dimensions will
have a great deal to do with the eff
cheney and cost of the work.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.
1t Is Profitable to Renew Planting
Every Three or Four Years.

II Is Profitable to Renew Planting
Every Three or Four Years.
There are two general cultural meth
DDS of handling Strawberries. One is
to cultivate them clean throughout the
year, and the other is to mulch them
lightly with straw during the winter
and plow this under after the fruit has
been picked in the spring.
When clean cultivation is used the
cultivation is discontinued during the
harvesting season in order to facilitate
picking. Some growers grow the ber-
ries in hills, while some grow them in
matted row. 1t is difficult to say
which is best, as both have good sue
cess. The great advantage of the straw
mulch is that it gives the berries some
thing to lie on and keeps them out of
the dirt and enables one to pick them
when the ground is fairly wet and also
adds organic matter to the soil.
Every year after the picking season
it Is necessary to cut out great many
of the plants, as they will have COW
cred the ground pretty well by that
time. This is usually done by throw
ing a furrow away from each side of
the row and then working it back i'm
mediately. This leaves the matted
row, from which the plants may be re-
moved if they are too thick. 1t is usu-
ally thought most profitable to renew
the planting every three or four years.
