Robberies Since the first of the year, 15 per sons have been apprehended and received jail sentences ranging from 90 days to 18 months in con nection with robberies of coin tele phones in the area served by Caro lina Telephone, according to W. Y. Vann, local manager. Persons aprehended and convict ed have also been required to pay damage claims ranging from $75 to $500, in addition to serving long jail sentences, Manager Vann poin ted out. Damage to coin telephones gener ally exceeds the small amount of money stolen during each robbery, as coins from each telephone are collected frequently enough to pre vent a large accumulation. Vann urges that citizens living near outdoor telephone booths help apprehend coin telephone burglars by reporting suspicious activity to police.

Now Is Time For Fall Fertilization 01 Strawberries For Best Results In 1962 The 1062 strawberry crop will soon be forming. It is hard to be lieve, but in the crown of a well rooted strawberry plant first bud formation will soon be taking place. Nitrogen is the one plant tood that will produce a response on fruit bud formation. Many times, grow ers apply complete fertilizer when it to not needed. If adequate phos phott and potash . was applied at. planting time, these ele ments need nor- be added for at least two years. In 1961, yields and quality of fruit was reduced by over-fertilization. Excess nitrogen in the fall can reduce fruit bud set to a considerable degree. Nitrogen should be applied dur ing August or early, September at the rate of 40 to 50 pounds actual nitrogen per acre. Thia application should.be made directly over the plants with the excess being brush ed off the foliage. On heavier soils.

On lighter soils, another 30 to 40 poun ds actual nitrogen applied in Jan uary or February will be suflicient for top yields. For the small grower, these rates of nitrogen would amount to 3 pounds of 16 nitrogen: 2i pou nds of zOCV nitrogen or lty pounds of 33 nitrogen materials per 100- foot row. , Late forming runner plants in the row middles should be dug out. These plants will not produce fruit and will only reduce the vigor of the good plants. The planting sho uld be cultivated and weeds clean ed out when the planting is fertiliz ed. . Chemicals for weed control may reduce fruit set, to late application of these materials should be avoided.
