START A STRAWBERRY PATCH THIS SPRING (By F. F. Rockwell. Horticultural Editor "Farm & Fireside") Whatever else you plant this spring, be sure to save a space In your garden for a etraafcerry bed- A comparatively small bit of ground will give you en ample yield to supply you with delicious, fresh strawberries for your table and give a surplus for canning and preserving for winter useThe apace you reserve for your strawberry., bed should be a good sunny spot, .with shelter from cold winds, but — net too sheltered, for you do not want to (have the vines ruined by a late fro*! The ground you choose should be rich, fertile soil— the richer the better. It is better to Avoid sod or grassy ground, as it harbors the -white grub, the larvae of the June Beetle, which attack new plants. New ground, even it somewhat acid need not be "limed" for strawberries. Thorough preparation of the soil of your bed, with the most careful sultivation of the ground before planting, will always pay in the end. Get the soil fine, loose and mellow whether you use a horse with a narrow toothed barrow, a hand plow attachment to the -wheel hoe, or merely a fork. Never set your plants by simply digging holes in hard-packed soil! Two Methods of Setting Plants " There are two methods which you may use in setting out your strawberry plants— either the hill system, or the matted row. In the matted row method the rows are marked 2 or 3 feet apart and the plants are set 12 to 18 inches apart in the rows- New runners will soon form and root between and to the sides of the original plants until a solid mat some 15 or. 18 inches wide is formed. The plants in the mat should not be closer ' than 5 or 6 inches. 1 How tdv Get Big Berries With the X Hill System To be successful with this hill system, all ipnners have to be cut off most particularly for weeks after planting- This makes one great big "crown" of each individual plant and gives extra big, fine strawberries. Unless one can be certain about doit* this well and thoroughly, the matted system will be fourflf to be the most successful. ■Be sure that the new strawberry plants which you set out are new-, strong and healthy- In setting in the plants, put them in very firinly up to, but not over, the "crown" or center of the plant. (Have the sofl fairly moist before planting — using irrigation before planting if possible — and giving a thorough watering after the plants are set in the soiL To afford a succession of ripe berries uirtil late in the summer, early and late 6orts should be chosen Earl" Ozark is a fine, new early; another is Early Jersey Giant; second early are 6ang>le and Glen Mary; medium to late, Nick Opmer, Brandywine and Marshall; late, Lovett, Big Joe and Chesapeake. You Can Have Berries Until Frost In addition to at least- three of the above varieties, yea should aiso plant one of the "ever-bearing" kinds. The everbearing berries ajp no longer an experiment; they are practical and - well worth while, particularly for home use. and kept well cultivated during the summer, will begin bearing in August pr September, and keep right on un-

K tii, hard freezing weather- I have gathered "rood ripe berries in October. The culture* of the ever-bearing variefcee is the same as for others, except that pinching the blossoms off ]in spring and early summer will give ;' a heavier crop in the autumn. "Progressive" is one of the best bearing li 80 ' Editor's Note — Several Wildwood " folk have had remarkable success in ^ growing berries in their small gar-! dens, particularly the ever-bearing r varieties and have had the fruit up until snow fall. X The light soil here seems to be rich d enough when aided by manure and d fertilizers. d • ORCHARD NOTES B " Qrchardists should be ready for the ° next spray of apples, which is due : when the bods show pink. This 1 spray is a very important one for the : " controlling of apple scab. It certain- " -ly should not be omitted. r Besides tpraying, k is very import- . aat that the trees be properly fed, if . the -best fruit is to be expected- Af- ; ter plowing, nitrate of soda' and acid J phosphate should be well worked into the soil- Large apple trees will re- , spoud well to five pounds of nitrate j of soda and ten pounds of acid phos-

e phate per tree. This material should i- be spread under the brandies and out ? a little beyond the branches, for it is h at this point that the feeding roots are most active. Bearing peach trees should receive from a -wind and a , ~ half to two pounds of nitrate of soda s and four or five pounds of acid phos- j j phate per tree. The acid phosphaten'and three-quarters of the amount of w i nitrate can be applied as soon as the * growth starts in the leaves, the daJp ance of the nitrate should be applied when the fruit is about one-third . j grown ERMA The Vocational baseball team of Erma again defeated West Cape May | s on its own grounds Friday, April 28, » by a score of 23 to 16s The game was featured by thej'. 3 1 heavy hitting on both sides.
