Effect OF Fertilization On Strawberries
Atom hingto

Building up soil fertility and increas-
ing the organic content of the soil
upon which strawberries are to be
grown by the application of farm ma
nures, by the growing of green manure
crops, or by crop rotation, prior to
planting Is an economical, satisfactory
procedure. Flowing under leguminous
cover crop before the plants are set
subsequently gives marked benefits as
to strawberry plant growth and yield.
One Of the reasons why crop rota-
ton has been practiced is because ap-
parently any one crop continuously
grown year after year tends to exhaust
the soil fertility With the strawberry
there is another important reason and
that is that insect and disease popu-
lations may be built up until straw
berries do not pay on that particular
tract of ground and another crop must
be grown Furthermore, after several
years, the crowns may have grown so
high above the ground that new main
roots can not form, the plants become
weak, and the berries small.
If the soil is good, high in organic
matter, adequately supplied with wa
ter and properly handled no great
increase in yield can be expected fol-
lowing commercial fertilizer applica-
lions, especially if the planting is al
ready producing well.
Size. The size of the individual
strawberries from plots receiving nj
trogen in the fall may be increased
if the soil moisture is adequate.
Composition. Chemically, the nitro
gen fertilized berries generally contain
more nitrogen and lower percentage
of total sugars in most cases.
Firmness of Flesh. Moderation is
desirable in the use of nitrogen fertil-
the weather is warm during the pick
:; ing season plants receiving heavy nj
trogen applications produce berries in
clined to be soft.
The Rate of Ripening. The average
rate of ripening of Strawberries afte
harvest seems to be increased by tn
applications of nitrogen fertilizers il
the spring. This effect is not so marked
when the nitrogen is applied in tl
late summer or early fall
Time of Application. APPARENT
spring applications of nitrogen do nc
increase total yields with as much Ger
tainty as may August or early fall ap
plications increase yields the subse
quent spring.
Form of Fertilizers to Use. Farm
manure, if available, is desirable. A
times when alfalfa hay is cheap an
commercial fertilizers are high pricec
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1935-02-07

alfalfa hay may be used. Care must be
exercised in applying sodium nitrate,
ammonium sulfate, or potassium chlor-
ide closely about the plant. If these
compounds are applied on the foliage
or too heavily, 1t is possible to kill
the plants. The indications are that
physiologically acid fertilizers, such as
ammonium .sulfate, may be more bene-
hcial to strawberries on neutra! or
slightly acid soils, but that physiolosi-
cally alkaline fertilizers, such as nitrate
Of soda, may be more favorable on
very acid soils. From experience the
strawberry plant is known to tolerate
acidity In the soil. Results obtained, as
to the effect of lime on strawberries,
indicate that on most soils upon which
strawberries are grown lime seems to
be injurious.
Conclusions We may conclude on
the basis of such experimental evil
dence as is available as follows
I 1. 1t is desirable to turn under green
manure crops, preferably leguminous,
prior to the planting Of strawberries.
This improves the physical condition
of the soil and increases the organic
content, the water-holding capacity,
and the fertility.
Since nitrogen and possibly phos-
phorus are the most likely limiting
factors, established plantations will
ton of 6 to 8 tons of well rotted farm
manure per acre, or it's equivalent in
leguminous hay Il to 2 tons).
3. Annual applications of IS to 95
pounds of actual phosphoric acid may
be applied in addition to the ma
nure.

Young Artist Blanks Procita,

Wins Match.

BY CHted Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-James
Caras, youthful Wilmington Del0
star, and Erwin Rudolph, Cleveland
veteran, we're tied for the lead to-
day in the world pocket billiard
championship tournament. CaraS
gets a chance tonight to regain sole
possession of the lead.
Caras, who has won five matches
and lost one, meets Willie Mosconi
of Philadelphia tonight, while Ru-
dolph is idle.
Because of a stunning 125-to-0
triumph in nine innings, which
Caras scored last night over Joe
Procita, Gloversville, N Y. the Will
mington youngster is favored to win
the tournament.
In winning by a shutout, CaraS
scored the first victory of that kind
in the annual tournament since
1929, when Ralph Greenleaf BANKED
Frank Taberski.
Rudolph also triumphed yester-
day, defeating PaSquale Natalie,
Chicago, 1875 to %, in II innings. In
other matches, Charles Seaback, As
toria N. Y, defeated Bonnie Allen,
Kansas City, and Mosconi whipped
George Kelly, Philadelphia. Kelly,
had he won, would have made the
first place race a triple tie.

Neither team found the range

Kessler, with three baskets and
five free throws, and Young, with

For while it appeared that the
Columbus wrestler might be an over
sized order for the strutting Stran-
gler, especially when Big Boy waltzed
off with the opening down in 20
minutes, using an unconscious
hold"
There was quite a discussion about
this hold, which consists of getting
one arm between you and the vic
tim, wrapping both arms around
his neck and then squeezing him
until he squeals.
Old Ed said it was a strangle.
Karl said it wasn't. The referee,
after an inspection, cast mis- ballot
for Davis. And the fans who were
watching the match, featuring the
Hercules A. G. program at the
Armory last night, couldn't agree.
Ed Retaliates
So the majority prevailed and
Lewis was declared down and out so
far as the first fall was concerned.
Just to prove he was right, the
Stranger came right back at the
start of the second fall and clamped
a like hold on the Big Boy. But the
referee stuck to his guns and in
sisted it wasn't a strangle, Davis
didn't complain, so that settled that.
They settled down to work, both
dishing up headlocks. Davis grab
bed Eds noggin and started squeez-
ing. The veteran hurled Karl away
and the Big Boy flew between the
ropes, his head missing ring post
by inches. But his shoulder con-
nected with a thud.
All the Stranger had to do was to
grab him when he crawled back in,
slam him twice, and floor him in
seven minutes with deadlock.
Two more 1ips on that sore shoulder
convinced Davis he couldn't con-
tinue, and the third fall ended in
one minute.
Marvin, Roche Draw
That man is back" the custom
ers shouted when Tommy (Bulldog)
Marvin climbed through the ropes
for the semi windup.

ster, traded punches freely with the

For speed and thrills, the curtain

plenty to do, and once had Jack all
