STRAWBERRY CROP In
EXCELLENT SHAPE
Crop 116T OF Normal This Season,
Total Acreage OF $500

Delaware Strawberries this year
are in better shape than they were a
year ago, according to word receiv-
ed from the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture which reports that
this years crop in Delaware will
total about 116 per cent of normal
or approximately 2S6,00O crates as
compared to last years total of 1S2,-
600 crates produced from the same
acreage.
According to the Bureaus report,
Delaware is one of the four leading
states with a total acreage of $500
acres. Only two states, Maryland
and Kentucky, have a large acreage
while Illinois has an equal acreage.
There are this year $500 acres of
Strawberries in Maryland and $500
acres in Kentucky.
That Delaware's strawberry crop
is better than that in other states in
the same group is indicated by the
fact that in only one other state in
the intermediate group, California.
shows an indicated increase in pro-
duction to more than 100 per cent
of average. while percentage figures
for the other states in the group run
from IL per, cent to 81 per cent of
average.
According to the Bureau report, an
increased crop in asparagus is pre-
dicted for 1887 in Delaware with an
indicated production of $4,000 25-
pound crates as compared to 121.000
such crates last year. A part Of this
increase is attributed to a 10O-acre
increase In asparagus paintings in
the State this year.
Indications In general point TO an
increase in truck crop acreage on
the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. Acreages
Of cantaloupes, watermelons. Gu
and string beans will be
the report states. while 1t
says that there will be a slight in |
crease In spinach and cabbage acre
age. Indications at the time the re-
port was written were for about the
same acreage of early Irish pota-
oes as year ago with increases by
smaller growers being offset by de-
,reases on the part of the larger
producers.

Good Seed viii
Increase Sweet
Potato Prices

BED the best sweet potato
seed you can get now and next
fall and winter you will get bet
ter prices for your crop.
Good seed not only produces
greater yields per acre, it also
helps produce good quality pota-
toes that command top prices, "
said l.. p. Watson, extension hor-
ticulturist at State college.
This year growers should give
more attention TO qauilty than to
quantity, he added, as a big crop
is in prospect and only the best
potatoes will bring good prices.
A buyer recently told Watson
he paid % cents more basket
for good grade potatoes than for
the run-out, low quality potatoes
most farmers were offering him
from the 1886 crop.
The average yield per acre last
year was 90 bushels. At 25 cents
more on the basket, good grade
potatoes would bring $3.50 more
per acre, Watson pointed out.
But this is not all, he continued.
Good seed would produce a great
err yield and the grower would get
much more than $3.50 per acre
over the returns for inferior po-
tatoeS.
A Chowan county grower who
planted the No. / strain of Porto
Ricos last year got 248.9 bushels
of No. l grade potatoes from each
acre, Watson pointed out.
A Pamlico farmer planted Por-
to Rico strain No. l and got 375
bushels to the acre: u New Ham
over grower harvested 4S7 bush
els from an acre.
No. / potatoes are now worth
81 a bushel. Watson added. you
can figure for yourself whether it
paid them to plant good seed.

Fertilizing Will
Be Radio Topic

Recent studies in the mechani-
cal application of fertilizers for
cotton will furnish the subject for
radio talk on the Carolina Farm
Features program Satur d a y,
March 20.
DR.. Emerson r. Collins. agron-
omist at the North Carolina EX-
pertinent station, will explain in
the broadcast the progress which
has been made along this line.
The experiments in fertilizer
placement around cotton were
started in 1881 and practically the
same placements were used in
1882 and 1888. The outline of the
experiment was revised in 1884
to take advantage of the infor-
nation obtained in the previous
years.
Some of the placements which
had proved but of little value
were dropped and other place
ments that offered promise were
added. The second outline was
carried out in 1884 and 1885,
and revised for the 1886 season.
The experimental plats are To-
Gated at the Upper Coastal Plain
