FALL CARE OF
THE STRAWBERRY

Investigations in the nutrition Of
the strawberry show that the yield
Of fruit is determined very largely
by the conditions under which the
plants are grown in late summer
and fall.
Total yield in the strawberry
plantation depends on the number of
flower clusters per plant, the number
of flowers per cluster and the per-
centage of flowers which set and
develop fruit. The setting of the
flowers and the development Of ber-
ries may be Influenced by the mois-
ture and available plant food in the
soil during the spring of the bearing
year. The number of clusters and
the number of flowers, however,
depend almost entirely upon the soil
and other environmental conditions
which exist during the time of fruit
formation the preceding fall.
Careful studies regarding the time
of fruit-bud formation in the straw
berry show that in all sections of the
Northern United States the differen-
tiation of fruit buds in the spring
bearing varieties, such as Senator
Dunlap and Aroma, begins in early
September and continues until Sc
we're freezing occurs in late fall.
Many strawberry beds which receive
excellent care early in the season
are given very little attention. dur
ing this important period.
The strawberry grower should,
therefore, keep the soil well culti-
waited and free from weeds, not only
early in the season but during the
fall months. Late fall cultivation
should be shallow, particularly near
the plants. If the plants are grown
in matted rows some attempt should
be made to eliminate undue crowd
ing of the plants and to keep the
rows from becoming too wide. A
row twelve inches wide is preferable
to one that is much wider. Runner
plants which are formed early in
the season are the ones which are
most likely to produce the largest
number of clusters and hence the
largest yield of fruit. In beds where
a large number of runner plants
have been produced an early fall
thinning of the newly rooted plants
which are produced late in the sea-
son is advisable This may be &C
complished by drawing rake
across the rows and pulling the run
ners to the edge, where they may be
cut off in some convenient manner.
After the first killing frost it is
a good plan to go through the patch
and remove any hardy weeds. In
the colder sections of the North a
mulch of clean straw or marsh hay
should he applied for winter protec-
ton. This however. is not usually
applied until after the ground is
frozen.-R. F. Lore.

SPRING OR AUTUMN

Shall we set our fruit trees in the
autumn or wait until spring? Well,
that depends. 1t is a perennial ques-
ton, with arguments on both sides.
The principal points in favor of
autumn planting are, first, that one
is fairly certain to get the varieties
he wants. The order for the nursery
stock must be placed SO early that
there is little chance that the nurse
ryman will be sold out; whereas, if
one plants in the spring the placing

quently forced to either substitute
less desirable varieties or let the or
chard project go over till another
year.
Secondly, the trees get settled
into place and are all ready to get
down to business in the spring. This
is a. fairly strong argument, especially
with those fruits like cherries which
tend to start growth early in the
spring. Moreover, If ones soil condi-
tions are good there is a quite strong
notion among orchard men that the
trees are better off in the field than
thew would be in the storage house,
where the nurseryman usually keeps
them over winter. And lastly, there

work on the farm in late October or
early November, when the autumn
setting would usually be done, than
in the spring.
On the spring side there are two
fairly good arguments. The first Is
that the trees are not subject to the
freezing and thawing and possible re-
sultant heaving that autumn-set
trees have to endure. The force of
this argument depends, Of course on
ones climate. II it Is very variable
and If the soil is not thoroughly well
drained the chance Of injury is en-
countered. The second point is that
trees for autumn delivery must be
dug early in order to reach the buy
err on time and are, therefore, some
times not as thoroughly matured as
If dug later in the autumn or not un-
til spring.
On the whole, 1t would seem that
with fruits which start very early and
on land which is thoroughly well
drained and in climate that is not
too variable during the winter. au-
tumn setting is desirable. When
these conditions do not obtain 1t Is
likely to be safer to set in the spring,
but it ought to be done just as early
in the spring as possible.

HOGS DESTROY
APPLE MAGGQIS

There is a very valuable use for
hogs in the orchard at certain sea-
son. 1t is never advisable to allow
the hogs to make a pig pen out of
the orchard, but hogs can be very
useful indeed in preventing A good
many of the insect pests from in
creasing as rapidly as they might
otherwise.
Turn the hogs into the orchard in
the early fall or late summer to
clean up all the fallen fruit, and you
will find that they will help very
materially in getting rid of apple
maggots.
You have noticed the work Of ap-
pie maggots in all proba bility. These
the flesh of the apples, forming
winding tunnels. which are often
just beneath the skin. At this sea
son of the year the maggots are
maturing in fallen apples in some To-
calities. When the maggots become
full grown they leave the apple and
burrow into the soil, where they re-
main over winter, then the following
July they emerge as flies with
banded wings.
If hogs are allowed in the orchard
to clean up the dropped fruit before
the maggots mature, naturally large
numbers of the insects will be de-
stroyed. If only enough hogs are
turned in to clean up the fallen ap-
pies. or if the large herd of hogs are
allowed to remain in the orchard
only long enough to clean up such
apples, they will not pack the soil,
and the packing Of the soil by large
numbers of hogs is really the most
serious consequence that usually
follows practice of putting hogs in
the orchard.
