STRAWBERRIES BRING
FARMERS BIG PROFITS
by Charles A. Keffer. Director
Division of Extension.l
ARTICLE No. Ga

article No. 60
F. D. Garrison, field agent for the
State Horticultural Society, reports
the average profit per acre of the
1919 strawberry crop in Tennessee
was $33735, as obtained from re-
ports of actual sales made by grow
ers. The largest profit reported by
any individual was S925.60 an acre,
and the smallest profit was 500 an
acre. The average yield per acre of
those reporting was SO crates; the
largest yield was 1853 crates and the
smallest, 81 crates per acre.
The Bureau of Markets, United
States Department of Agriculture,
estimates the area Of strawberry pro-
duction in Tennessee for 1918 at 12,-
100 acres, and for 1919, at 8.430
acres. The average yield per acre
in 1918 was So crates, while in 1919,
80 crates was the average yield of
an acre. In 1918 the total production
amounted to 1,434 cars, and in 1919,
1889 cars. The smaller acreage of
1919 gave a greater production than
the 1918 acreage, due to a more fov-
orable season. The average net
price to the grower in 1919 was
$4.91 for 24-quart crate, while in 1918
the average net price was 1918. An
estimate of the crop in 1920 has not
yet been made, but it is believed to be
about the same as 1919.
Where the strawberry crop has

operations, as in the Humboldt and
Chattanooga districts, the experience
of the growers may be considered as
a guide for future paintings. How
ever, there are districts in the state
where the strawberry has not been
so extensively grown, but where the
adaptability of the region to this
crop has been fully established, and
in these regions there can be no
question as to the advisabilitv of
greatly Increased planting. This APP
piles we'll to linton county.
While il is believed that the crop
is a most inviting one, growers
should constantly study the fieH

Indications are that Tennessee could
double its ACREAGE this snring with
reasonable assurance of a good
profit.
While the strawberry is cultivated
over a wider range than any other
fruit, it is particularly local as to
varieties in its applications. In Ten
nessee the Aroma, which is stan
dard market type for the East Ten
nessee district, is but little grown in
West Tennessee. where the Klondike
, is almost exclusively used. Both the
Aroma and Klondike are grown in
East Tennessee. MANY growers use
two varieties, the Klondike followed
by the Aroma. AS a rule the COM
mercial grower confines himself to
two varieties at most, because Of
convenience in shipping, For local

under method is quicker, but usually
not as economical as the feeding sys-
tenn. OF course, if one could have
an unlimited supply of stable manure
AID then reinforce this by using
200 to 800 pounds of acid phosphate
10 the acre, the land can be made to
grow a good crop Immediately. For
potatoes, however, the manure should
be applied the fall before they are
ianted, or better still, to a young
stand Of clover, which is to be turned
under before the potatoes are
planted.
How to Hatch More and Better
Chicks.
One of the first points of consid-
Grafton in efficient production of
baby chicks lies in the quality of the
Matching eggs that are used, say spec
ialists of the Division Of Extension.
Strong vigorous, livable chicks can
not be secured from poorly-produced
and poorly-selected Matching eggs,
and poultry producers should exer-
else particular care in this con-
nection.
Back of the production of suitable
Matching eggs is the proper mating
and selection of breeding stock. This
step in the process should be ac-
complished early in the year, but it
is not too late to eliminate hens from
the Matching flock that do not have
strong, vigorous constitutions and
every sign Of health and strength.
1t is particularly important to keep
watch on the breeding males as the
season advances. In some cases it
may be necessary to change males,
replacing weak individuals with
STRONGER and more vigorous ones.
It is poor economy. and in fact no
economy at all, to save Matching eggs
from lar0e nun'ber of birds that
arc of low vitality. It means greater

Matching eggs from a more limited

Every egg for Matching should be
Of good size and normal shape.
Small eggs will produce small chicks.
The holding Of eggs beyond certain
time tends to weaken the vitality of
the germ and retards its development.
For best and most efficient results
Matching eggs should not be over two
weeks of age when placed under the
hen or in the incubator

Farm Accounting.
Farm bookkeeping is an essential
to efficient farm management. Ac-
counts must be kept in order that
the farmer determine the relative
value of various crops, the size of
crop yields, the quality and quantity
of livestock for farm of given size,
the size Of the farm business as a
whole, and the farm layout, and the
use Of labor-all factors vitality af-
fecting farm efficiency. Many Ter
nessee farmers are now keeping
books and they are finding that it
pays.

Of 3,57s silos in their counties were
reported by 81 agents, while "a

and 1890 lighting systems in farm

terraced 2,807 acres Of land, and 107
have drained 321 acres by tile and
2,146 by open bitches. In IL counties

we're given.
There were enrolled a total of
1,00s boys in corn clubs by 20
county agents, of whom 452 complet-
ed the work and reported an average

29 boys made 100 bushels or more

No Get Rich-Quick Scheme for Inn
proving Poor Land.
There is no "get-rich-quick" scheme
for improving poor land in large
areas, says j. G. McAmis, specialist
in agronomy, Division of Extension
University Of Tennessee.
Many Tennessee farmers write him
asking for information as to the
quickest method for improving poor
land, ard his first suggestion to
them is: "Grow clover" He, of
course, suggests others, but this is
the one method that has given salts
faction to hundreds of Tennessee
farmers who, have tried it.
In preparing poor land for clover,
Mr.. McAmis recommends the use of
two to three tons of finely ground
limestone, or one ton of burned lime
to the acre on soil that is well nre-
pared in June or July and kept free
from plant growth, both crops and
weeds, until the first good rain in
August, after which red clover
should be sown at the rate of 10
pounds per acre. If the land is to
be left seeded longer than two years,
Grass should be sown with the clover
IF the soil is too poor even with the
lime and 200 to 300 pounds of acid
phosphate to grow red clover salts
factorily, rye may be sown with the
clover to insure a growing crop on
the land.
Another method is the use of soy
beans and cowpeas, but these crops
and to a certain extent the same
thing is true of clover, must be
turned under, or fed and the manure
returned to the land. The turning

County Agents Are Big Money
Makers For Farmers.

County Agents Are Big Money.
Makers For Farmers.
Annual reports Of Tennessee coun-
ty agents covering their activities
for 1920 show a vast amount of work
done and many definite things for
the betterment Of the great agricul-
tural industry in the state aecomp-
lished.
The outstanding features Of the
activities of these agents, who spent
three-fourths Of their time in the
field, demonstrates the great SER
vice that they are rendering.
I. Twelve county agents assisted
farmers in arranging for the pur-
chase IF 78 cars of feedstuffs, 5815
cars of fertilizer, So cars Of ground
limestone. They also assisted in the
sale Of 46 cars Of cattle, 35h cars OF
hogs. 49, cars of sheen, AZ cars Of
Strawberries, 92,750 pounds Of wool
and l,119.375 mounds of butter
through cooperative organizations.
In all market transactions the agent
is an advisor and is not an officer
of the marketing organization.
Under the direction of the county
agents "a different crops were cul-
tivated bv 2,771 farmers. and 32,905
others were directly influenced by
the work. Some average yields per
acre were: Corn, 1863 bushels; seed
cotton, 1905 pounds on 66S acres;
oats, 95 bushels on 1913 acres; bar
lev, 81 bushels on 429 acres; wheat,
IL bushels on 483 acres: clover and
grass 2.41 tons on 206 acres: red
clover, 2.41 tons on 2,106 acres;
crimson clever, 81 tons on 2,721
acres With the advice Of county
agents. 416 orchards were pruned
ard 231 were sprayed.
A better balanced ration was fed
bv 872 farmers, having 1884 cows;
1928 cows were tested; 27 agents
report a total of TAB bulls and 6,231
cows Of purebred dairy breeds.
Farmers were assisted in selling ,463
purebred hogs by rs agents. Agents
induced TAO farmers to start the
growing of grazing crops for hogs
for the first time. A total Of lat
purebred boars were reported by 81
agents, and % agents reported 688
purebred bucks ard 1888 purebred
ewes in their counties.
In the control Of livestock dis
eases, 1,712 cattle were treated for

in 16 counties: 14534 hogs were in
Oculated end 1927 were treated for
