RENEW STRAWBERRY BEDS.
Next Years Strawberry Crop Depends
on Action Taken at This
Tiroo IF Voar

on Action Taken at This
Time of Year.
Now is the time to begin the re-
newal of strawberry beds for next
years crop, say horticulturists of the
state university.
Before thinning out the plants a
good practice, if carried out properly,
is to NOW or otherwise cut off the tops
of the plants. The leaves are allowed
to dry and are then either raked off
or burned on the beds. Burning is re-
commended when it can be done on a
windy day and when quick fire is
assured. Unless the fire burns rapid
ly the plants will be injured. The adj
vantage of burning is that it elimi-
mates diseases and insect pests.
The rows should be narrowed, so
they will be from four to six inches in
width and also thinned out so that the
plants grow every six to eight inches
in the row. These old plants will put
forth runners and provide new plants
for the berry production of next year.

Sulphur flowers "a sulphur dust)

The new strawberry, Minnehaha,
gave a good crop this year. This is
large late berry which should be a

Keep sweet peas and other flowers
picked if you want more bloom. AS
soon as seed sets the plants are apt
to stop growing.
Cut out the old wood of currants as
soon as they fruit. Thin the new
growth and cultivate the plants well.
Better currants will result next year.
Order peonies and iris by name
rather than by color. Learn to know
them by name. They will be more
interesting and as a rule better varie-
ties are secured if purchased by name.

Egg Laying Contest

Barred Rocks owned by H. E. Den nison from East Lansing, Mich, and White Leghorns entered by J. Frank Dubois from Peacham, Vt., tied for first place in the sixteenth week of the egg laying contest at .Storrs. Each pen laid 51 eggs. w. H. B. Rents pen of Barred Rocks from Cazenovia, N. Y, was second best for the week with score of 49 eggs. A Connec- ticut pen of White Wyandottes own ed by Woodbridge Orchards, Wood bridge tied for third place with a pen of Barred Rocks owned by Purdue University at Lafayette, Ind. The two pens laid AT eggs each. Fourth place goes to A. P. Robinson from Calverton, N. Y., whose White Leg horns laid 45 eggs each. The total production for all pens was 3,285 eggs or a yield of nearly AT per cent. This is 432 eggs more than the aver age for the last seven years. Thus it is apparent that on account of the health and generally good condition
 of the birds in the contest their egg yield was not adversely affected by last weeks below zero temperature.
 A new feature of the current lay ing contest consists of running twen- ty birds together instead of keeping each breeders entry of ten birds en- i tirely separate as heretofore. This
 has disturbed some of the contes- tants and their friends because they
 have not known just what disposition
 was being made of the eggs laid out side of the trapnest. Of course the
 number is relatively small amounting as it does to not more than four per cent of the total eggs laid during the year. On the other hand, one egg wrongly recorded each week makes an accumulated error of over fifty eggs for the year. To avoid any possibility of favoritism the man. agement of the contest has adopted the following rule: eggs laid outside the trap nest shall be pro rated ac- cordingly to the number laid by the two pens that are housed together. l If there is an odd number of eggs to divide in the odd week the extra egg shall be given to the odd num- bered pen and conversely such egg on even weeks shall be given to the | even numbered pen.
