ment of Agriculture.)
Clean, shallow cultivation should be
followed throughout the season. ' Good
cultivation keeps down the weeds, al
lows the rains to penetrate the soil
and prevents the excessive evapora
tion of moisture. Cultivation should
begin soon after the plants are set and
should be continued whenever weeds
start or a crust, forms. The main ob
jects of cultivation are to break up
the crust and to prevent the loss of
moisture from the soil below the sur
face, which is accomplished by form
ing and maintaining a blanket of loose
soli on the surface. Frequent shallow
cultivation will make it unnecessary
to use a sweep to kill weeds and grass,
which is often necessary under the
methods of culture now in common
use In the. South. A cultivator which
merely breaks up the surface of the
ground without disturbing the roots is
to be preferred. In addition to using
the horse cultivator it will be neces
sary to do some hand hoeing, to keep
down the weeds and to keep the soil
loose between the plants in the row.
Weeds will sometimes have to . be
pulled by hand, and they should never
be allowed to become large, because
when large weeds are removed the
strawberry plants will be disturbed.
Mulching the Bed Is Important.
Mulching is a very Important opera
tion in connection with strawberry
growing, as it prevents the excessive
loss of moisture, prevents "heaving
out" in regions where freezes occur,
keeps the berries clean, keeps down
weeds, retards growth In cold regions
(thus, preventing frost Injury), and
adds humus to the soil. The Important
objects of mulching in the South are
conserving moisture, protecting the
berries from dirt and keeping down
weeds. Mulched plants are said to
suffer less from spring frosts than
those in the same area not mulched.
Strawberries are not usually cultivated
during the picking season, because
stirring the soil tends to make the
fruit dirty and gritty; but unless the
plants are mulched they are apt to
suffer from drought, which often oc
curs at this season, causing a serious
reduction in yield. There would not
be as much loss due to drought if the
plants could be kept cultivated during
the picking season, but as cultivation
is objectionable, mulching is a very
effective substitute.
' There are many materials that can
be used for mulching, but their value
depends largely upon their freedom
from weed seeds. Wheat, rye, oat
straw, strawy manure from the horse
Stable, pine straw and marsh hay are
the materials most commonly used.
All of these are satisfactory when they
can be secured in sufficient quantity
and are free from weed seeds or grain,
Pine straw is the best material to use
so far as ease of application and keep-J

but it Is not as valuable a source of
humus as the other materials and can
not be secured in all regions.
The mulch should be applied during
the late fall or winter whenever the
soil will not be injured by driving on
It A sufficient quantity should be
used to conserve the moisture and to
protect the berries from dirt by keep
ing them off '.he ground. A mulch two
or. three incites thick is adequate for
this purpose. If there is no mulch

cultivated before picking begins. Even
when there is a mulch it Is a good plan
to remove this material and cultivate;
It can be replaced.
Rotate With Legumes.
A avstenmtic rotation of crops is
just as important in growing straw
berries as it is in growing other crops,
but very few growers practice it to any
great extent. Soil on which straw
berries are raised year after year does
not Droduce as large croos of fruit as
it would were a good system of rota
tion followed. In any system oi rota
tion some leguminous crops should be
grown and turned under one year In
every three or four years, and a culti
vated cron grown on the soil the sea
son before the strawberry plants are
80t
For the South the following system
ran ha omnlnved in good advantage:
Strawberries for one or two years, fol
lowed by cowpeas after the strawoer
ries are harvested. Turn under the
cowpeas in the fall or winter or har
vest them for hay. The next spring
nlant the land to some vegetable crop,
such as early cabbage, and follow with
a fall crop of vegetables or cowpeas
for turning under. Plant the land to
corn the following spring and plant
cowpeas between the rows. After me
corn is harvested, turn under the
atollra and the nea vines.
When strawberries are planted In
the fall, they can be set out after the
and cornstalks are turned
under. A second system that can be
followed is strawberries one or two
years, followed by a fall crop of vege
tables after the berries are harvested.
The next spring plant to vegetables,
and follow with cowpeas, and then
either plant strawberries again or
arrow corn and cowpeas followed wun
strawberries. In sections where vege
tables are not grown commercially,
oats can follow the cowpeas that are
turned under the season the straw
berry field is plowed, and either cow
nf(i or neanuts can follow the oats,
The following year plant the land to
corn, with cowpeas between the rows;
tiAii rnturn to strawberries. By fol
lnwinsr a. good rotation system, such
as has been suggested, the yield of
strawberries will be greatly increased
nnd thA rsnst of cultivation lowered

keting are also dealt with in Farmers'

Calm Resignation.
Reference having been made to
beautiful resignation, Congressman
Joseph J. Russell recalled an appro
priate story.
During a dinner party some time
ago, the congressman said, the topic
turned to the connubial state. : Among
the guests was a bachelor person,
"Speaking of marriage," eventually
remarked the bachelor, "it seems that
the longer a man is married"
"The happier he is," impulsively
broke in a spinster party with a hope
ful glance at the other.
"I was going to say," resumed the
bachelor, disregardingly, "that the
longer a man Is married the less he
seems to mind it."

The story is told of a young mother
who, after her first baby had been
born, hurried to a hardware store to
purchase a pair of scales, that she
might be able to keep tabs on the re
markable growth of her first born.
When she got them home and
weighed the baby for the first time the
little bunch of humanity did not quite
measure up to her expectations and
she promptly carried the scales back,
stating that they were not satisfac
tory. Asked by the storekeeper what
the difficulty was, she replied:
"I think the scales are not right My
baby did not weigh as much as I think
she ought to."
"Dld.lt ever occur to you," asked the
hard-hearted seller of hardware, "that
the fault might be with the baby and
not the scales?" '
She saw the point and kept the
scales. Brockton Enterprise.
