Beneficial Effect Of Sanding Is

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Observations by the weather bureau
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture on the beneficial effect Of
sanding cranberry boys have recently
been confirmed In report from the
cranberry experiment station near
Cranmoor, Wis According to the re-
port there is an average Of So days
between the last spring and first fall
frost (June rs to August 22) over I'M
sanded bog, as against 118 days be-
tween the last spring and first fall
frost over sanded bog.
This represents gain of 95 per
cent in length of frost-free season on
sanded bog The item Of sanding,
therefore, greatly reduces frost haz-
ards and conserves the water supply
by eliminating the need for frequent
flooding to protect against summer
frosts. Sanding not only permits but
requires deeper and better drainage,
and Is an insurance against fires on
bog in dry times. Sanding, together
with thicker setting of plants, reduces
labor and expense of wedding, besides
insuring earlier cropping on the bog.

HOW TO RENEW STRAWBERRY
Leave Only Enough Old Plants to
Start Runners-Patch Should
Be Moved and Raked.

The time to renew the strawberries
for next years crop Is Immediately
after this years crop is harvested.
Only enough old plants should be left
in the rows to start the runners. The
best berries are produced on the new
growth. Before the plants are thinned
the whole patch should be moved,
then thoroughly raked and all the old
leaves burned. This will destroy
great many insects that had intended
to winter over on the plants. 1t will
also get rid Of numerous diseases that
might be carried on the old plants If
the whole patch is burned over 1t
should be done on very windy day,
else the crown of the plants will be
injured past recovery.

Cabbage for storage should be care

The heads should be solid with all

storage house so constructed and ar
ranged as to prevent drip from the
structure striking the stored heads. 1t
Is also essential that moisture and

vent the condensation of moisture on
the cabbage while in storage The
temperature maintained in common
storage houses may vary from 80
