STRAWBERRY BULLETIN
READY FOR GARDENERS

A new bulletin, "Strawberry Pro
duction in Ohio" by Leon Havis OF
the Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Stations Horticulture Department,
is ready for gardeners interested in
growing Strawberries for market oI
home consumption. Since straw
berry plants bear the year after
they are set out, many growers are
especially interested in this crop
now to help meet the demand for
quick increases in fruit production
Recent experiments and the de
velopment of new varieties have
brought about considerable change
in recommended practices for grow
ing strawberries. "Strawberry Pro-
duction in Ohio draws on this new
information in advising the grower
where to locate his planting, how
to prepare the soil, what varieties
to plant, how to care for plants and
set them out, and how to care for
the patch The bulletin also con-
tains helpful advice on harvesting
and marketing.
Single copies of "Strawberry
Production in Ohio" are available
free to residents of Ohio who re-
quest them from the Mailing Room,

ton, Wooster, Ohio.

FARMER ADVISED TO DO LINZ
ING IN OFF SEASONS"

The amount of lime which farm
ers wish to use in Ohio during 1912
will probably exceed that actually
used in any previous year by a
substantial amount. Whether or
not they are able to make the de-
sired applications will depend on
whether or not the producers are
able to make shipments when or
dered and whether or not the
farmer can find time and help to
make the applications when it is
delivered. If a considerable part Of
the increase can be used by farm
ers in loft seasons" less difficulty
will be experienced in getting de-
liveries. and more time will be
available to get it spread.
According to Earl E. Barnes, as
sociate agronomist at the Ohio Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station,
where corn is the crop to which the
lime is to be applied, experiments
at Wooster have shown that the
lime can be applied on sod during
the fall, winter, or early spring and
plowed under, with results at least
as good as when the application is
made after plowing in the spring.
Making the application on sod has
other advantages also. 1t is much
easier to spread lime, on a sod
than on cultivated land, and there
is less tendency to make the land
cloddy, especially if the spreading
is done when the land is frozen.

In an emergency, lime could be
applied to corn after corn plant
ing, even after the corn has come
up, and worked into the soil by the
cultivator operations which are
normally made.
If a considerable amount Of the
lime used this year is spread before
the first Of April on sod, and after
the first of June on fields already
planted to corn, the strain on Ship
ping facilities will be materially les-
sened, and the distribution Of l&4or

America. And the production CT
Guayule rubber in the U. s.,
has very real and almost inesti-
mable possibilities. Since the most
extensive and extravagant peace
time use of rubber in the United
States never required more than
100000 tons annually, complete
permanent American independence
from remote foreign rubber supply
is foreseeable.
This is Immediately important be-
cause unfavorable trends of war in
the Western Pacific have almost en-
tirely cut off our normal sources Of
rubber. About 90 percent of the
worlds rubber has j been coming
from the present Pacific war zone,
and the United States normally
consumed about IS percent of the
total rubber produced in the world.
So the Japanese occupations OF
most of that area and continuing
operations against the rest haze
presented the United States with an
acute problem. Apparently we
have that problem solved now, or
at least we'll on the way to solu-
tion-which is fortunate, because
our ability to carry on and win the
war was actually and vitally involv-
! ed.
But the development of domestic
rubber supply is important. for an
| other reason-and for the purpose
| of this discussion the word edo
nestle is broadened to hemisphere
/ ic proportions. Never again should
| the United States engage in wal
with it's indispensable and nearly
total supply of rubber isolated and
cut off in a remote and inaccessible
part of the world. In fact. never
| again should the United States be
! dependent for rubber in war or in
peace upon remote supply.
Natural rubber is native prod
uct of the Western Hemisphere,
and in the early years of the com
mercial use of rubber tropical
America was the sole source, and
as late as 1912 more than half OF
| the rubber used throughout the
world came from wild trees. most
+, ly in the South American valley OF
| the Amazon.
The first rubber grown in. the
East Indies and Malaga was plant
ed there by foresighted Dutch and
British planters, who imported the
seed from South America as early
as 1876, and cultivated and i'm
proved the product until it was
vastly superior to the wild tree.
Strangely, when the cultivated
rubber tree was in turn seeded ia
its native America, it proved to be
vulnerable to a destructive blight
with the result that rubber produc-
tion in America waned. To furth-
er establish a rubber monopoly, the
British and Dutch attempted TO
prevent export of their cultivated
and superior seed. and largely sue
ceeded. ~ ....
