Strawberry Growing in Georgia

at least a month before the time for
putting out the plants. Immediately
after the land has been broken, harrow
it thoroughly. AT planting time the
soil should be broken harrow it thor
oughly. At planting time the soil
ly firm so that the roots will take hold
Immediately. Rows are laid off from
three to four feet apart. On land that
is rolling, and necessarily must be ter
raced, use the wide distance. The
plants are placed from one foot to
eighteen inches apart in the row. The
strawberry plant is one of the most
difficult to get at the proper depth
when transplanting. By observing the
nature of the root and top it will be
found that the roots come out around
the base of the crown of the plant.
The plant has no tap root. 1t will also
be found that the leaves come out from
the top of the crown of the plant In
the center of the cluster of the leaves
will be found the eye" which must
not be covered at planting time. Owing
to these characteristics of the straw
berry plant it is necessary to place it
at such depth so that the roots will
be entirely covered by the soil and at
THE same time the EYE" or growing
portion of the top of the plant will
not be covered. If the soil is firm at
planting time a spade is good in
strument to use in this operation.
Force the spade into the soil at the
point where the plant is to be placed,
having the blade of the spade perpen-
dicular put it away from the operator,
then place the plant against the side
of the hole, made by the spade, pull
out the spade and allow the soil to
fall up against the roots of the plant
1t takes two workmen to plant straw
berries in this manner-one to operate
the spade and one to hold the plant at
the proper height After the soil has
fallen back, one of the workmen press
es it against the roots of the plant with
his foot.
|, Cultivation.
Cultivation should be as often as is
necessary to keep down weeds and
conserve moisture. Commercial fertil-
izers containing per cent phosphoric
acid, 4 per cent nitrogen and 4 per
cent potash are used at the rate of
1000 to l,500 pounds per acre.

u.
Strawberries can be grown in any
section of this state and on nearly ev-
cry soil type that we have, excepting
very sandy and wet. soils which are
found in isolated sections in the south
ern part of the state. Strawberries
will do best on well-drained, sandy
loans, but the heavier types can be
made to produce good crops by care
full preparation and cultivation and the
use of humus producing materials, as
stable manureS and green cover crops.
When to Plant.
New patches of strawberries are
started by taking the runners from the
old patches or fields. Plants which
have produced berries should never be
used to start a new patch or field. In
the southern part of the state Septem-
Der, October and November are the
best months for setting out the young
plants. To obtain a good stand during
these months it is necessary to have
what is spoken of as season" in the
soil. The earlier the plants are set out
the larger will be the production the
following season. If plant is not we'll
established, when it begins to fruit the
berries will be small, few in number
and the plant itself will be seriously
injured. In the northern part, of the
state, especially in the higher noun
tain attitudes, there are 1.-TWO distinct
seasons for putting out the plants; one
in August and September, the other
during February and March. Plants
set out during the former mentioned
time will produce crop the following
season. Those planted in the spring
should not be permitted to produce a
crop the same year-the fruit stems
should be picked off.
Missionary, K1ondike, Aroma and
Lady Thompson have been the most
popular varieties in this state.
