ROUND POSTS MOST DURABLE
One Kind of Timber Will Last as Long
as Others if Amount of HeartWood
Is the Same.

Is a split fence post as durable as
a round fence post? This is a question
Frequently asked of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The fact
is, says the forest products laboratory,
one kind of post will last about as
long as the other If the amount OF
,heartwood is the same in both. But if
the percentage of Sapwood is III
creased by splitting, the split post Will
be less durable and if the percentage
of heartwood is increased it Will be
more durable than round one. Posts
of spruce hemlock or any of the true
frs are exceptions to this rule, be-
cause their heartwood and sapwood
are about equally durable.
When posts are to be treated with
creosote or other preservative, a round
post is preferable to Il split post, be
cause of the comparative ease with
which the sapwood can be treated.
The heart faces on split posts do not,
as rule. absorb preServative Well.
Split red-oak posts will take treat
ment, because the wood is very porous,
but the heart faces of split posts of
many other species. notably white oak.
red gum, and Douglas fir, resist the
penetration of preServatlve, even un-
der heavy preSsures.

Perhaps the principal reason for the
prosperity enjoyed by Louisianas
berry growers is that they keep them
selves closely Informed upon day-to-
day market conditions The producers
appreciate that knowing the markets"
enables them to meet the consumers
desires as regards quality and guam
tity, and that to oVerStock one mar
ket when another market is undersup-
piled is unsound from both an econom-
ic and financial viewpoint. Every day
during the marketing season daily
report of conditions and prices at the
principal marketing centers through
out the country is issued by the local
representative of the United States
Department of Agriculture. This in
formation is obtained by trained mar
ket reporters at consuming points.
The growers are also informed as to
daily carlot shipments everywhere in
the United States. Thus the pro-
ducerS not only know the prices be-
ing paid for berries at the various con-
suming markets, but exactly what
competition may be expected from
other sections shipping Strawberries
at about the same time. The depart
ment also furnishes daily information
regarding temperature and weather
conditions, so that the necessary icing
and refrigeration can be provided for
the shipments.
Information for Growers.
The departments station ut Ham
mond was opened in 1919, and was the
first field station established anywhere
by the United States Department of
Agriculture for the issuance of mar
ket news reports. Here, in the heart
of Louisiana's' strawberry producing
| district, arrangements were first made
to study methods of packing, ship
ping, and distributing strawberries in
| the United States; to keep growers in
| formed of strawberry movements from
| other regions, and to inform them daily
| of prices and conditions in the lead
| ing consuming markets. Hammond
| was selected as the location for the
| department first field station because
| of the large proportions that the Louis
| lana strawberry industry had attained
| Louisiana then ranked fourth in com
mercial strawberry Importance. To
| day the state ranks second in CARROT

Hardy Tomato Plant Started In Pot.
ton, d. G. The bulletin also contains
valuable suggestions to growers as to
methods which are protitably followed
where the crop is most successful.
The story Of the tomato Is that Of
delicacy which has lived down bad
name and come into its own after
years of effort. OF American origin, 1t
attracted unfavorable attention first
about 1SOO and for long time was
branded as poisonous and consequent
Iy avoided. Later, designated as the
love apple, it found favor with a few
lovers of delicacies and with growers.
By 1887 the total pack of canned to-
matoes in the United States was about
100000 cases of "a one-quart cans
each. Now the commercial pack, ex-
elusive of soups, purees, ketchup, and
pulp exceeds 1O.OOO0OO cases of "a
No 3 cans. These figures do not in
clude the millions of cans put up by
housewives for home consumption or
the fresh tomatoes which grace Amer
lean tables during the growing season.
Chief among the states where to-
matoes are raised for canning are, In
order named: Maryland. Indiana, Mis-
souri,, Delaware, New Jersey, New
York, Utah, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and
West Virginia. The acreage planted in
tomatoes for canning purposes only
in 1920 was 244,745. The yield from
that acreage was 1,0O3,35S tons.
The bulletin follows the methods
used from the seed to the can

best adapted for the vegetables

be harvested, and sums up the chief
requirements for good results as fol-
lows:
Successful tomato growing depends
on good farm practices. good seed,
| good plants. proper fertilizer. careful
planting, clean cultivation, and dis
ease control through spraying and
through the use of disease resistant
varieties. Growers who pay attention

Within six years Louisiana has
taken first place among the states as
regards value of strawberry produc-
tion. The 1921 season was the best
ever known in the industry, 1,4OO car
loads of Louisiana berries being mar
keted in "A cities in the United States
and Canada. In Chicago the 24-pnt
crates brought as much as $3.50 each,
and during practically the entire mar
keting season Louisiana Strawberries
sold at a higher price than any other
berries on the market, due to the
high quality of the product.
With such record of achievement,
much interest centerS in the opening
of the 1922 marketing season. AS

day the klondike variety is grown eX-
clusively, and Louisiana Strawberries
have wider distribution than the
Strawberries from any other section
of the country The quality of the
fruit is dependable, and there is every
where a demand for the berries. When
picked the berries are carried to pack
ing sheds, where practically each one
is handled separately. Both the "a
pint Hallock crate and the 24-pint
ventilated crate have been used in
packing the fruit, although during the
past few seasons there has been con
locks crates, which are known locally
as coffin" crates. Practically all grow
ers are now using ventilated crates, as
berries shipped in such containers ar
rive at market in sound condition and
usually command premium over the
price paid for berries in non-ventilated
crates.

RECEIVER ASKED ].
|. FOR FRUIT UNION; ]
COURT REFUSES

The petition of the Phez conn
pany for the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the Salem Fruit union
was denied. by Judges George Bing-
ham and Percy Kelley yesterday
afternoon following the closing
arguments of the petitioners, who
are suing the union for an alleged
breach on contract and to recover
damages of 100000.
In denying the petition the
court gives the plaintiff "leave,
however, to renew the petition
should the defendant or its Of
ficers at any time before the final
determination of the case, with
out leave of the court, dispose of
any of its assets or place the same
beyond the reach of the plain
tiff
In its pleadings for the appoint
ment of receiver the Phez COM
pany charged the defendant with
trying to dispose of its plant, To-
Gated in Salem, to the oregon
Growers Cooperative association
for the sum of $4,000. The
union s answer to this statement.
however, said that the contract be-
tween the union and the associa-
tion for the sale of the plant had
been cancelled, and that it's liabil-
tiles up to the present time did
not amount to more than $4,000.
The case has been dragging in
the courts of the state for some
time, and was brought by the
Phez company charging members
of the fruit union with breaking
their contracts with the Phez COM
pany for loganberries.
