Strawberries For Spring
Should Be Planted Now
Home gardeners would be
well advised to plan now for
those strawberries they hope to
enjoy next spring. November is
the beginning of the planting
season.
"Gardeners who plant now
should be able to pick enough
for home use next spring,"
comments North Carolina
State University extension
small fruit specialist Joe
Brooks. "Of course, the first
big crop won't come until a
year later after the plants have
matured," he added.
Brooks suggests four
"musts" for satisfactory results
from strawberries: 1. Plant
clean, disease - free plants. This
means plants that are certified.
2. Plant in clean, disease free
soil. 3. Plant in weed-free soil.
4. Plan the strawberry patch so
that it can be irrigated.
Brooks suggested using
methyl bromide for treating
the soil. This gas, which is
available in pressurized cans,
kills weed seeds except those
of a few of the hard seeded
plants, knocks out nematodes
and insects and eliminates
disease organisms.

"Starting out with clean soil
is important," Brooks said,
"since the strawberry plants
will be in that soil for several
years. If the soil isn't clean, the
plants have very little chance."
The methyl bromide is
applied under a plastic cover
that is sealed down to prevent
the gas from escaping from the
area being treated. The cover is
kept on the treated soil for
three days. Gardeners should
wait two weeks after the cover
has been removed before
planting.
Brooks suggests using one
arid one-half pounds of methyl
bromide per 1 ,000 square feet,
or about twice the rate farmers
use on tobacco plantbeds.
Also, the gas should be
applied to soil that has been
prepared for planting and when
temperature and moisture
conditions are right for
planting.
Treatments other than
methyl bromide can be used.
Brooks suggests diphenamid,
Dacthal or Tenoran. These are
post-planting treatments and
should be applied according to
label directions only.

Here are other suggestions:
Fertilizer - Add lime,
phosphate, potash or a
complete fertilizer as indicated
by a soil test report. Lime
should be added early, if
possible, even as much as a
year in advance of planting.
Fertilizer should be applied at
least 10 days to two weeks
prior to planting. Top dress
with nitrogen 30 days after
planting.
Planting - Set plants two
feet apart in rows four feet
apart. If you want to pick
strawberries the first year,
plant slightly closer in the row .
Plant deep enough so all roots
are covered but shallow enough
so the crown is above the soil
line. Soil should be firm
around roots.
Mulching - Cover new plants
with straw so they will not be
heaved out of the ground by
freezing and thawing soil. Also,
apply straw in middles to
conserve moisture and shade
out weeds.
Irrigation - Strawberries are
shallow rooted. Drought
seriously reduces the size and
yield of berries .

Local Population
Tons Heavier
(Special to The News-Journal)
NEW YORK, Nov. 9 - What
the average Hoke County
resident should weigh, for
proper health, and what he
does weigh are two quite
different things, it appears.
Under the standards
recommended by medical
authorities, the local
population is tons overweight,
ft has been accumulating much
of the extra poundage during
the last decade or two.
The problem is i general
one. Estimates place the
number of Americans who are
overweight at about 40 million,
or one out of every five
persons.
Their annual outlay for
reducing pills, for medical
treatments, for special foods
and the like, in their quest for
slimncss, comes to more than
$370 million, it is estimated.
On the basis of national
studies on obesity, conducted
by the Public Health Service,
the Department of Agriculture
and others, the average man in
Hoke County tips the scale at
about five pounds more than
his father did at his age.
Assumed is that the national
rale of change applies locally.
What it adds up to, for the
3,960 males in the local area
over age 21, is some 19,800
additional pounds, or around
10 tons.
As to the women, they have
been putting on weight, also,
but not to the same extent.
Because they arc more
concerned with clothes and
fashions than men are, when
style dictates the slender look

costs.
Henry T y r u n Jr.,
Fayetteville, following too
closely, costs.
James Mitchell Tickle,
Midway, Ga., exceeding 35 in
they proceed to diet and
reduce.
Despite their greater concern
with weight, they arc about
four pounds heavier, on
average, than their mothers
were at their ages.
For the 4,260 women in
Hoke County over 21, the
overall increase amounts to
17,040 pounds.
The statistics show that
women in the 18 to 24 bracket
have gone from 1 12 pounds to
117 in the last 20 years and
that those between 25 and 34
have gone from 127 to 134.
Between 35 and 44 the
change has been from 138 to
142.
