Question: How much pulp
wood Is produced in North Car
Answer: Quite a bit! Assistant
Extension Forester John Ford of
State College says the -total in
1950 was 1,024,000 cords, of 27
per cent more than in the year
before. If all the pulpwood pro
duced in the State last year
could be piled together, it would
make a pile four feet high, four
feet deep, and would reach from
Raleigh to Corpus Christ!, Texas
—a distance of more than 1,500
miles! Farmers in 88 counties
received more than 12 million
dollars from their marketing of
pulpwood in 1950.

GARDEN TIME
By ROBERT SCHMIDT
If you intend to plant straw
berries this fall, it should be
done soon. You may have diffi
culty obtaining plants this early
but plants set now will become
established and give you better
plants and a better crop next
spring than from plants set la
ter. By fall planting you get ber
ries only from the plants you set
‘—they will not make runner
plants.* For eastern and Pied
mont sections use the Massey
variety—it has been very satis
factory during the past few
years. Do not plant everbearing
varieties except in the mountain
areas. They have not been gen
erally satisfactory in North Car
olina.
If you have an established
strawberry bed and have not
fertilized the plants this fall ,do
so at once. Use any good garden
fertilizer and at the rate of 1-2
gallon to 1 gallon per 100 feet
of row depending on the fertili
ty of your soil. If the rows are
narrow, .the fertilizer may be
drilled in on each side of the
row. If the rows are wide, broad
cast the fertilizer over the plants
at a time when the leaves are
dry and brush the fertilizer off
the leaves. This fall application
is very important for Piedmont
and mountain areas. In the
Coastal Plain areas another
similar application should be
made in December or early Jan
usury
If you are growing Boysen
berrles or other types of dew
berries, the grass should be
cleared out’ of them and the
vines straightened out on the
ground so that they can be easi
ly gathered up and tied, to stakes
or wires In the spring. If any
new plants are desired for
spring planting, throw a shovel
ful of soil over the tips of the
vines. They will form roots and
buds during late fall aid winter
and may be cut from the vine
and planted in the spring when
and planted to the sp
the vines are tied up.
