Strawberry Plants Require Feeding
Valuable Information on This CroI and How to Attain Success by Arkansas Authority.

There is no reason why the straw berry production of Arkansas should decline because climate and soil con ditions are such that a wonderful crop can be grown says J. R. Cooper, Horti. culturist of the University of Arkan. sas.
 The idea that once planted to ber- ries will not grow berries again is er- roneous according to MT. Cooper This idea is prevalent because the growers have failed to feed their strawberry patch with the result that all the humus and much of the nitro gen is allowed to be lost from the soil with no attempt to put it back.
 It is imperative that berry growers establish and maintain a permanent soil fertility program. The type of soil for berries is of much less impor- tance than the humus content of the soil. Nearly any kind of soil will grow berries if it contains plenty of humus Still better yields may be ex- pected where a judicious addition of fertilizers is made on soils lacking in plant food. Humus cannot do every thing but other factors cannot function properly where humus is lacking. A field that has been planted to berries for a number of seasons. should be plowed up and planted to COW peas. After attaining a good growth, the peas should be turned under and planted to corn and COW peas next spring. Then If the corn stalks and COW peas are turned under in the fall and a light dressing of manure and phosphoric acid added, the field is again ready for berries and will pro duce just as good crops as it ever did.
 Barnyard manure and commercial fertilizers will give good results for berries Barnyard manure should be applied before or at the time the plants are set, where old land is em- ployed but is usually not needed on new land In using fertilizers. they should be applied and worked in soil before the berries are set and light application made as soon as the fruit is harvested each season. Nitrate of

soda should be used sparingly If at all Acid phosphate has given better re suits, when used alone, than any othel fertilizer. Too much nitrogen in an, form is injurious on account of tho vigorous foliage growth which follows
 A good zertilizer to use before the plants are set is an S-3-2 mixture ap- piled at the rate of 600 to 800 pounds per acre or use a fertilizer containing about 2i pounds of ammonia, 64 pounds of phosphoric acid and l6 pounds of potash per acre. This can be secured by using 100 pounds acid phosphat, $50 pounds of cotton seed meal and 32 pounds of potassium sul fate or $50 to 400 pounds of unleached wood ashes. In applying fertilizer to growing plants care must be taken tc keep wood ashes, potassium sulfate and nitrate of soda off the plants or from coming in close contact with the roots. Acid phosphate. bone meal. dried blood, cotton seed meal may be sprinkled close to or on the plants without burning.
 After the field has been established any nitrogenous fertilizers used should be applied in the summer after the fruit has been harvested. or at the very latest, early in the spring as soon as any growth starts. Nitrogen applied shortly before the plants bloom will usually decrease the bloom because of the heavy growth of fol iage. Fertilizers benefit cannot be estimated by the amount of vine growth produced. Where the ferti | ger is applied in the summer small amount of nitrate of soda may be used provided there Is plenty of mois- ture in the soil.
 If the season is dry it should not b used nor should potassium sulfate be used. When the summer season Is dry better results results will be had by deferring the application of fertili- gers until the soil becomes moist. Where applied in the summer the same complete fertilizer may be used which is recommended for plants when first set out. When fertilizer is not applied until the following spring it is usually best to use only bone meal alone or acid phosphate and dried blood or cotton seed meal
 Cultivation during the first seasor and after harvest thereafter will go a long way toward insuring crop and keeping the rows full of plants for several years. Many a berry field suffers great deal more from lack of cultivation than from lack of fertili- gers.
 Mulching, although not needed to prevent winter injury as it is in the north. will afford considerable protec- tion from drought, and will insure cleaner berries. Drought often cuts the yield down great deal by shorten. ing the bearing season. A good mulch will prolong the picking season several days. It has often made a difference of 50 crates to the acre in yield. It is often impracticabIe to mulch tor to give intensive cultivation on large acres but when we find men who employ these methods on small areas making greater net returns than the larger fields are affording, we cannot but question the business judgment of the man who plants more than he can properly care for.
