STRAWBERRIES
IN TENNESSEE
While Few Farmers and Truck Grow
ers Give the Needed Soil Prepare
tlon to the Strawberry Bed, Yet
Such Work Would Pay Well.

The strawberry is cultivated COM
mercially to the northernmost parts
of the United States, in great var.
iety of soils, the moisture supply be.
ing the principal factor in limiting the
range of profitable production.
AS a truckers crop 1t is most inn
portant in Tennessee, Louisiana and
Arkansas, Tennessee shipping more
strawberries in carload lots than any
state in the Union.
The refrigerator car and the ex-
press have oblibera:ed latitudinal
lines, and fresh, fieId-grown strawber-
ries may be had in our large cities
from January to August, Florida sup
plying the earliest fruits, and the rip.
ening period moving northward with
the season.
West Tennessee Is a little earlier
than East Tennessee, tho the crops of
these sections overlap, competing In
the northern market. Tennessee's
principal competitors are Arkansas.

TANNING MILLS
ARE ALL MUCH ALIKE
Separation of Grain Depends Upon
Similar Features-What the
Air Blast Does.

Tanning mills are coming into use
more each year on Tennessee farms.
Farmers are recognizing that weed
seed and dirt should be separated from
grain before seeding. The tanning
mill will do it. If the grain is to be
sold for seeding purposes, all the more
important that it be cleaned to get
the highest market price. Useless
pieces of matter, either weeds or chat
or dirt, must be separated from the
good seed.
A separation based upon a variance
In weight is made by the use Of an air
blast. Some machines use this meth.
cd almost entirely, and until recently
grain graders and cleaners depended
principally upon air currents for sep
aration. Hence, the name tanning
mill" Because of the fact that the
heavy kernels are most desirable for
seed, tanning is the chief feature Of
grain cleaning and grading machine.
Examples of how the difference In
shape is made use Of are found in de-
vices for separating oats from wh

Good Care, Yielding Eggs That VIII

Beefscrap, as sold by poultry sup

open hopper) will, according to gov.
eminent records Of four years, pro-
duce more than twice as many eggs as
a ration without meat scraps.
In addition to this dry mash. the
hens should be fed a scratch feed in a
deep litter of straw on the poultry
house floor, consisting of the follow.
ing: 200 pounds cracked corn with the
meal sifted out, 100 pounds oats, and
100 pounds good wheat screenings
where they can be purchased at not
to exceed $3.50 per 100 pounds. At
noon hens should be fed all the sprout.
ed oats they will eat In ten or fifteen
minutes.
With comfortable quarters and US
ing the beefscrap and the sproated
oats, hens viii produce from ten to
twenty dozen eggs a year, while with
out the beefscrap it is almost i'm.
possible to get over fifty per cent of
this number of eggs. Beefscrap now
december, 1910 costs about $500 per
100 pounds, but general purpose
hen, such as Plymouth Rock, Rhode
Island Red, or a Wyandotte, will
eat only ten pounds of this beefserap
during twelve months. In other words
she will eat forty pounds of the dry
mash and forty pounds of the scratch
feed including the oats necessary for
sprouting in a Year,. N. Crane,

In one machine a reverse turn In the
cells of riddle allow the wheat kerr
nels to pass thru, but the longer oat
kernels can not. In another device, a
cloth apron over the sieve keeps the
grains in thin layer and prevents the
oat kernels from being appended so as
to pass thru, while the wheat kernels,
being shorter, pass thru without any
difficulty
Nearly all tanning mills upon the
market have certain features in com.
mon. In nearly all machines there are
sleeves, riddles, or hurdles for grading
the grain, the shoes for supporting
these, the mechanism for shaking
them, and fan to furnish the air blast

MANY CORN BUYERS
HAVE NO LICENSE
Hotels at Memphis Not Strictly OBJ
serving Wheatless and Meatless
Days.

Inspector J. c. Joyce of the federal
food administration returned recently
to Nashville from an inspection Of
West Tennessee. He found a large
number of big corn buyers in that sec
ton operating without license from
the food administration, although they
have been repeatedly warned that they
must obtain license. A list Of those
having no license was reported to the
license division for further action.
Mr.. Joyce also investigated the OBJ
servance of wheatless and meatless
days among the public eating places
of Memphis. He found only partial
observance of the nations program.
One large hotel simply requests that
its patrons refrain from eating wheat
and meats on certain days, but adds
that if they desire these products they
will be furnished This is clearly an
evasion, DR.. Morgan stated, Of the pro-
gram of the food administration and
steps will be taken at once to bring the
recalcitrant hotel into line.

The strawberry succeeds in great
variety of soils, but everywhere 1t
does best in a soil rich in vegetable
matter The silt soils of West Ten
nessee, the bluegrass limestone soils
of the central basin, and the mullato
lands and the dolomite ridges of the
Eastern section of the state ais pro-
duce splendid crops of strawberries.
The highland rim soils and the sandy
soils of the Cumberland Plateau are
less favorable, but even here an
abundant crop is easily grown.
New land presents the most favor
able conditions, not only because Of
its food supply, but because of its
freedom from weeds and the weed
grasses. The best preparation of old
land for strawberries is to fill the soil
with humus by blowing under green
crops. II the land is very poor sever
al years will be needed to fit 1t to
produce bumper crops. Rye, plowed
under when about foot higa. may be
followed by cowpeas, the s:es to be
hand picked and the plants then plow-
ed under. Or the peas can be turned
under in August followed by crimson
clover to be slightly past ! during
the winter and plowed Then in
bloom. A crop of sorgl for hay,
cut early. would then yield d heavy af-
termath, to be plowed under with sub
soiler following the turning plow in
late autumn. A crop of early pota-
toes, to be dug in July, would per-
NIT following crop of crimson clover
which could be plowed under in late
March and strawberries would then be
planted early in April
Few growers attempt such previous
preparation as is here indicated, but
II these crops are each given an
application OF acid phosphate, two
hundred to three hundred pounds per
acre, the resultant yield of strawber-
ries would approximate three hundred
crates per acre. instead of a crop Of
one hundred crates, which is above
the average for Tennessee.-C. A.
