Strawberry and Aspar-
agus Fertilization

Many are asking In regard to
the fertilization of strawberries
and asparagus for the remainder
of the season. 1t does not seem to
us that the fertilization of these
two crops will differ widely for
the remainder of the year except
in possibly the amount of fertili-
ger which one might supply.
Nitrogen seems to be the most
important element, particularly
for the remainder of the year. For
asparagus fields on which there is
good stand which may not have
been fortified SO very heavily
within recent months we would rec
omend the application of possibly
300 pounds of ammonium sulphate
per acre Immediately following
cleaning up of the patch. Three to
four weeks later another $50
pounds may be applied in the rills
and satered in without too heavy
irrigation. Still another application

ty growth during the latter part
of the proceeding growing season.
We have watched fields which have
been fortified with as high as a
total of 300 pounds Of nitrogen
to the year and these seem to be
showing very good results and we
do not believe that the use of as
high as 10 or even up to $50
pounds of nitrogen during the sum-
mer months might be too much on
many fields.
A careful study of strawberry
fertilization by the Ohio station
has shown that fertilizers applied
in late summer or early fall have
much more to do with the develop
ment Of the crop for the coming
season than do fertilizers applied
in late winter or early spring. We
are inclined to feel that the appli-
cation of nitrogen fertilizers can
be made to the strawberry field
the same as the asparagus field
with the exception that the appli-
cation would not want to be any
heavier, and would need to be fol-

may DE made three to four weeks
later, this application being pos
sibly 100 pounds. This would in
clude practically 10 pounds of nj
trogen. Applied at these different
periods it should bring about max
imum top growth and the storage
of considerable food in the crowns
for next springs crop. During the
winter ten to twelve tons of man.
ure applied either broadcast or in
bitches between the rows should be
sufficient application. As to the
application of phosphates and pot
ash more will be said about this
later when it has been possible to
get additional information from
the plots this year. ~ 49, ..
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1931-06-04

up well on the big sizes. Another
factor which is very important
with these two varieties is that
they must go from the tree into
cold storage just as rapidly as
possible if quality fruit is to be
maintained.
Where fruit has been well thin
ned by either frost or the wind,
even to the point sometimes of
having one branch without apples
and another branch not more than
eight feet distant as one would
travel along the branch and out to
the, other branch having apples,
one may leave a larger number of
apples than one would ordinarily
if the tree were well loaded on
every branch. In other words,
leaves not more than eight feet
distant from apples, where there
are no apples closer than this to
=
compete with them, will furnish
food for growth to these particular
apples. In a case as we have in
many instances this year, it will
be to the growers interest to try
to leave, throughout the tree, a
full crop of apples even if this,
does leave too heavy burden on
some of the apples. We find many,
growers stating, that with modern
spray equipment carrying pres
sure of $50 pounds that they have
been able to keep doubles clean. If
the orchard was reasonably clean
last year and good spray equip
ment is being used one can prob
ably economically leave quite a,
few doubles on many Of the trees

II
this year. Trees which have full
crop we'll distributed over the
trees, of course, should be thinned
according to the above rule as to
leaf surface.
As Mr.. Bregger pointed out, a
large part of the apple is connpos-
ed of water and starch and sugar.
These materials are then but wa
ter and carbon dioxide which
comes from the air and the manu-
featuring plant for starches and
sugars for the leaf and hence is
the relation between apple and
leaf surface.
This is season when one will
need to use careful judgment when
it comes to Fertilization. Trees
which have produced already this
season nine to twelve inches of
growth, and which probably will
not have large crop, should be
studied very carefully before any
fertilizer is applied and it is prob
able that these trees will need no
application of fertilizer this year.
1t is our opinion that the season
last summer followed by a long
fall and mild winter and good
growing season for apples so far
this year, has put our trees into
as vigorous condition as we have
had them for many years. Fertil--
ization should now be used spar
ingly on trees of this kind else we
are apt to upset our balance. &

APPLE THINNING AND Or
CHARD FERTILIZATION

Apple thinning should be very
closely tied up with the growth
which apple trees were making
this year. A study of apple trees in
all communities of the county
show that they are making much
more growth this spring even
where no fertilizer has been ap-
piled then has been common for
several years. The fact that apple
trees have a more vigorous foliage
and because of the increased
growth means that these trees may
carry much bigger crop than the
same crop might have carried last
year.
According to Mr.. j. T. Bregger,
extension horticulturist, State Col
lege of Washington, results on
thinning trials at the Wenatchee
station, have shown that Jona-
thans should be thinned to the
point where we have one apple to
about 25 leaves. Rome Beauties to
one to 35 leaves and Winesaps and
Delicious to one to 40 or SO leaves.
Due to the fact, however, that
we have had over size on our APP
Piles last year because of especial
" good growing weather, says Mr..
Bregger, it would be well to stay
close to the lower limit of number
of leaves per apple and thereby
have tendency to produce small
er apples. This is particularly true

DISEASE FROM DUST.
FOUND WIDESPREAD.
Report to Chemical Society
Explains industrial III
Causes and Effects.
~ the Associated Press.

Nv the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 1-Silicosis, An
Industrial illness due to breathing dust,
was reported to the American Chemical
Society today as more widespread than
hitherto believed The report was made
by DR.. Harrison E. Howe. editor. Indus
trial and Engineering Chemistry.
Silicosis is caused by silica, white
crystalline substance composed OF oxy-
gen and silicon. the two most abundant
elements in the earth's crust 1t is
plentiful in some kinds Of dust, the
harmful particles being barely one
twenty-five thousandth of an inch in
diameter. DR.. Howe says they are be-
lieved either to dissolve In the lungs or
to form a colloid, a substance of glue
like consistency, which floats in the
lung tissue fluids.
Damage in Irrigation.
The resulting irritation creates scar
tissue. Once established, says DR..
Howe, silicosiS Is permanent, and the
scar tissue is likely to spread even when
the sufferer is transferred to other work
where the dust exposure is eliminated.
"Silicos;s." he says. is not a newly
discovered condition, but recent inveSti-
cations do Indicate a greater prevalence
than heretofore believed. and, unfortu-
natelv, a much wider distribution.
1t has been found in drillers and
muckers who quarried New York sub
ways. in the dust from sand used in
metal molds, in the cutlery industry, in
pulverized quartz sands and in asbestos
work. where peculiar form Of silicosis
Is called asbestosis.
Safety From Hazards.
"A certain amount of safety has been
assumed" DR.. Howe states. "in hazards
OF this type because Of the belief that
from to Is years are necessary to give
sufficient exposure to produce silicosis
BY changing the personnel in dangerous
departments every two years or so 1t was
believed adequate protection resulted.
However, evidence is slowly accu-
mulating that under unfavorable con-
ditions, few months exposure may
lead to genuine and disabling silicosis
The disease is usually progressive and
frequently but not regularly is invaded
by tuberculosis. Practical measures for
control Of such dusts are available"

GALVESTON, Tex, October l.
About 5000 longshoremen at Gal
weston, Houston, Texas City and Corpus
Christi walked of their jobs early to-
day in protest against proposed wage
reduction.
Warned of the impending strike,
steamship companies loaded their YES

TO sea last night and two others =ere
loaded and made ready to sail.
Steamship men said they would hire
non-union men if necessary. The strike
affected all deep sea and foreign trade
vessels Only two coastwise lines were
included. Steamship interests proposed
to reduce the basic pay of longshoremen
from 80 cents to IS cents an hour. The
pay for loading cotton would have been
lowered from l8 cents a bale to fat
rate of IS cents an hour.
