ManureS in the Gardens
II is in the Midsummer that the
gardener often begins TO realize that
his soil is lacking in that necessary
something required to push the crops
scroSS in good shape The chances are
great that the missing essential is
humuS. Strange as ii may seem. COM
mercial fertilizers, no matter how high
their content in nitrogen. phosphoric
acid or potash. do not permanently fill
the gardens needs. Stable manures, on
the other hand. supply not only the
necessary fertility but also the decaying
vegetable substances which form into
humus
Humus is essential in ali garden soils.
in fact. in most any soil supporting
plant life Nature supplies humus
abundantly in the forest with the rot
ting leaves and plants. In the garden
the process is too one-Sided. the plant
growth being largely removed and in
many cases the remaining stalks and
rineS burned TO control various pests.
Constant cultivation also helps to quick
ly deplete the garden soil OF its original
hunlus. This loss of hunlus is the prin-
ctpal reason gardens do very we'll for
a year or two on new soil with COM
mercial fertilizer and then apparently
seem to go backwards.
Although animal manures meet this
hunluS requirement. they are. as all
gardeners know. difficult to obtain ex-
cept in costly forms such as shredded
or dried manureS in sacks Such mate
rails are not out Of the question on very
small gardens or for small flower beds

greater attractiveness. These new Sum-
mer apples bred by Prof Close are a
notable contribution to American fruit
culture and are sure to reflect credit on
the department and It's workers. If one
pauses to think that 20-odd seasons of
careful work have been required to de-
velop and test these new apples, one
must marvel all the more at the patience
of the plant breeder and have still
greater appreciation of his work.
Strawberry beds established at this
season may be expected to bear salts
factory crops next Spring. Ideally early
Spring Is the time to start new beds
but there are many instances where
recent purchase of home or some
other circumstance makes 1t desirable
to plant strawberries now. Many nur-
serymen make a speciality of pot-grown
plants for Summer trade. These plants
are rootings of the earliest runners
which are sometimes encouraged to
start early by cutting of all blooms
from the parent plants. These ported
plants. If we'll grown, will, when set out
at this time, form runners of their own
with a result that the gardener has a
very fair strawberry bed by late
Autumn. Frequently these rather
sparsely planted beds are more fruitful
than dense matted beds where the
struggle for sunlight, water and nutri-
ton is too severe.
Strawberries set out in the Summer
need extra care if drough3 occur, since
their roots are necessarily more shallow
than those of Spring-set plants. For
the same reason. greater care must be
given to the eradication of weeds. to
cultivation and to fertility Given this
added care there is no reason why Sum-
mer planted strawberry beds may not
be expected to return full measure of
satisfaction.
