The lower estimate Is about the av-
erage for most sections of the South,
while the higher figures cover the ex-
treme cost of production. The average
cost In Florida is between these two.
but nearer the higher estimate. 1t
should be borne in mind that in these
estimates the interest on the invest
ment and all labor costs are included.
Where the grower does not fertilize or
mulch his crop the cost should be
lower than in the estimates. 1t is the
farmer who secures more than the av-
erage yield who makes success in
growing strawberries, while those who
produce less than the average for the
region are losing money, If interest on
the investment and the labor Of the
growers are considered. With yield
Of 5000 quarts to the acre, which is
the average Of many growers, there is
a good profit in growing Strawberries.
Yields Of 1000 and 5000 quarts to the
acre are not uncommon.
When the plantation is kept for
more than one year the cost of produc-
ton is lowered, because there is no
outlay for plants, preparation of the
soil or planting, as in the first year.
The cost of fertilizing and cultivating
an old plantation should be as much as
for a new one. The average upkeep
for the second year should not exceed
$40 or $50 per acre.
The cultural methods employed in
growing strawberries in the South, to-
gether with selection Of the soil, pack
ing the fruit, etc., Is treated, as we'll
as cost of growing and by-products as
printed above, are given in the new
farmers bulletin No. 664, Strawberry
Growing in the South" This bulletin
may be had free by application to the
department of agriculture.
A large part of the strawberry crop
grown in Florida Is shipped to north
ern markets in refrigerator boxes.
These boxes, or pony refrigerators,
hold 81 or 80 quarts of berries. After
the boxes of berries are placed in the
refrigerator a metal tray is put in
place above the berries and filled with
ice. The main advantage in using
these refrigerator boxes is in long-dis-
lance express shipments where re-
frigeration is necessary.

MAN THE WOMAN WANTED
Five Who Were All Right Returned
Because Che Wished to Hire
Negro.

Indianapolis C. De Miller, fed
eral labor commissioner in Indian
apolis, has decided that he has reached
the point where patience ceases to be
virtue. Recently, among his many
daily requests for laborers, he received
q request from woman who lives on
a farm near Greenwood. 1t outlined
qualifications as follows:
II want a man who neither smokes.
drinks, chews nor swears. A widower,
If possible, who has had experience.
and / do not care If he has one or two
children. He must not be afraid OF
work and must have good health and
must have clean habits. Please send
me ten or fifteen men Of this character
and will select the one want"
De Miller eventually found five men
who were willing to make the trip and
take their chances of obtaining the po-
sition, but when the five men returned
to the labor commissioners Office that
same evening De Miller was somewhat
surprised to hear them explain that
none of them could meet with the
womah's requirements.
And why?" demanded De Miller.
Because she wants a colored man,
was the unanimous reply.

New Discovery Pushes Belt
Much Farther North.
Experimenters at Minnesota Unlver-
sity Stumble Upon Way to Make
Grain terminate More Quick
ty With Nitrobenxene.

Minneapolis, ADMINISTRATIVE at
the farm Of the University OF Mime
sofa have announced a discovery
which may result not only in vastly
increasing the corn production of Min
nesota and other states but in ex-
tending the northern limit OF the corn
belt much nearer Hudson bay.
The announcement comes at time
when seed corn shortage is reported
to be particularly acute. Bank and
railroad officials of the Twin Cities
are trying to help farmers get seed
and prices are said to be as high. as
Sc a bushel, with prospects of going
up to So or $40 by planting time.
II future tests sustain present indi-
cations of experiments carried on at
the university, every bushel of corn
planted may be made to send up more
sprouts and these sprouts may grow
SO fast that several weeks may be
gained in the maturing time OF the
kernel.
The discoveries believe they have
found. quite by accident CONNER
cially practicable method Of increas-
ing both the termination efficiency
and the termination rate Of seed corn.
It came about in experimenting with
various insecticides to be used in
treating grains.
Prot William Moore of the ento-
mology department and Prof. II 4.
Hayes Of the agronomy department
have been working on fumigation proc
esses for killing grain parasites. 1t
was important that termination quail
ties of grain treated should not be i'm
paired in fumigating, SO they regular
ly checked paintings OF the treated
grain against paintings OF the un-
treated.
It was in connection with the use OF
nitrobenzene that they bumped into
the unexpected. They found that not
only was the grain not impaired for
seed purposes, but that 1t actually
was bettered. Corn seemed to thrive
on the fumes of nitrobenzene. Not
only was the percentage of germina-
ton increased by treatment, put the
rate Of termination also was speeded
up.
The experimenters checked and re-
checked, again and again, with the
same results An experiment with
1911 corn, for instance, brought out
that the fumigated seeds sprouted
nearly two weeks before the unfumi-
gated, when planted at the same time,
and OF the former about Is per cent
more kernels terminated than of the
latter.

ment will so result with all corn" Pro

WILT INJURIES COTTON PLANT
DiscoIoration Inside the Stem Is
Characteristic Of Disease
Fungus Given as Cause.
| (By c.. A. MLENDON. South Carolii
ExDeriment StatiOno

(By c. A M'LENDON. South Carolil
Experiment Station.)
Wilt attacks the cotton plant at any
time between June 15 and September
1, causing it to be stunted or to wilt
and die. Plants affected with the dis
ease are always discolored inside the
stem. which when split shows brown
ish or black streaks beneath the bark
and in the tissues. L.scoloration in
side the stem is very characteristic
of the disease.
Wilt is caused by fungus which
enters the roots of the plant from the
soil. This fungus is primarily soil
organism and will remain alive in soil
almost indefinitely. The disease is
spread through movement of soil in
which it occurs. Because Of the ma
ture of the germ, rotation cannot be
relied upon to control wilt and fungi
cides are useless because they cannot
be applied to the diseased portion OF
the plant.
The only control measure that has
succeeded is the use of varieties which
have been bred for wilt-resistance.
Two such varieties, the Dixie and the
Dillon, have been developed and
through the use of them many farms
on which wilt had made it impossi-
BILE to grow cotton successfully have
been restored to their normal pro-
ductiveneSs.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Each year thousands of bushels OF
strawberries go to waste in the larger
producing centers of the United States
because of low prices or some adverse
condition. In many regions of the
South 20 to 25 per cent of the crop is
never gathered, because the prices to-
ward the end of the season are too low
to justify picking the fruit. This is a
great loss that should be avoided.
With the increasing demand for straw
berry products, such as crushed fruit,
jellies, preserves and marmalades, this
loss can be greatly reduced.
Within the last few years some OF
the manufacturers OF food products
have been putting up fresh strawber-
ries in large quantities for use at soda
fountains and in the manufacture of
ice cream. This industry can be de-
veloped into one Of great Importance
to the producer, manufacturer and con-
sumner. Several large manufacturers
buy surplus strawberries and put them
up in the field, while others ship the
fruit to their home factory. One OF
the best methods of handling the fruit
is as follows: Wash the berries thor
oughly in cold water, put them into
tight barrels with sugar in about equal
weights, load in refrigerator cars, and
ship to a cold-storage plant where they
can be held until needed. Sometimes
the berries are crushed before being
put into the barrels, but in most cases
they are packed as nearly whole as
possible When ready for use they are
taken from storage and manufactured
into the various products. If the fruit
is in good condition at the time it Is
placed in cold storage it can be kept

Washington. to forest
service officials, the unusually heavy
snowfall which has signalized the past
winter in most Of the West has mate
rally affected national forest business.
Timber sale receipts have decreased
in some regions because logging and
milling operations have been ham
pered by deep snow and exceptionally
cold weather. The same factors have
given stockmen using the national for
est ranges much concern, although as
yet there have been no severe live
stock losses reported. The foresight
of the stockmen in providing winter

makes recurrence Of the former i'm

Most of the railroads In crossing the

considerable distances through the ma
tional forests. Reports from the for

roads have had a strenuous struggle
with the snow to keep the lines open.
The great rotaries have had hard
work to pillow through the huge drifts.

for a long time without to any great
extent losing it's fresh color and flavor.
The keeping of strawberries under
refrigeration is comparatively new
undertaking, but results that have
been secured indicate that in time this
can be made an important industry. 1t
is possible to keep the fruit in such a
way that it's quality is practically un-
impaired. In single storage house
that has come under the observation
of the writer 5000 barrels Of crushed
sugared strawberries were held at a
temperature between 80 and 40 de-
grees. Proper storage is an important
matter, for it will enable the grower to
dispose of his surplus crop and at the
same time will provide the consumer
with a wholesome strawberry product
throughout the year. When growers
are banded together into a large asso-
citation it often should be possible for
them to manufacture strawberry by
products at the producing center un-
der the management of the organiza-
ton.
Cost of Growing Strawberries.
The cost of growing strawberries
varies between wide limits. depending
upon the locality and the methods of
culture. In most sections of the South
the average cost of production is $75
to $50 per acre, but in some cases the
cost is very much higher. especially In
Florida.
Below is an estimate of the cost per
acre of growing strawberries in the
