VanDEMAN* (Assistant County Agent) band that is intended for strawberries should be plowed in fall. This permits the soil to become well settled and avoids much of the delay that might be caused by a wet spring sea son. The aim in preparing straw berry land ia to develop high content of organic matter and free of weeds. Heavy applica tions of fresh manure can be ap plied in fall so the organic mat ter can become mixed with the soil. Where manure is not avail able a green manure crop 0f a type that will live through the winter will add to the organic matter and retard erosion and leaching of the soil. Land with clover or other leguminous crops is ideal for preparation and planting to strawberries. Fall plowing helps destroy weed seeds and makes use of the weeds in building up humus As a rule a field that has been in grass sod for a year or more is not desidable for growing strawberries until a year after i it has been plowed because of the danger of a severe infesta tion of large white grubs. These grubs would eat off the roots of the young strawberries and do considerable damage to the planting before the first crop is produced. White grubs are not a serious factor in cultivated soil. By practicing chemical defoli ation?ridding the plant of its leaves?many Tar Heel farmers are improving both the yield and the quality of their cotton crops. "LAFF IT OFF"?NOV. 10-11.
