Gastonia, Jan. 6.—Durwttrd Mor row, for the last several years ar. assistant in the office of the su perior court clerk of Gaston coun ty, was appointed clerk of the court by Judge W. P. Harding here. Mr. Morrow succeeds S. C. Hen dricks. for the last 12 years clerk of court, who died at his home nea* here last week after a long illness. The office of the clerk, was clos ed following Mr. Hendricks’ death and remained closed until Mr. Mor row’s appointment, due to the fact that the law makes no provision for an acting clerk in the event ol a court clerk’s death. Judge Hard ing could not be located for several days after Mr. Hendricks’ death being at that time in Florida. Its evident the nation has de cided to gird agaimt the depres sion. Knowing, bt course, that a good girdle supply support Strawberries Get Boost From Farm Agent In County Shoffner Thinks Every Farm In Cleveland Should Have Straw berry Patch. (By R. W. Slroffner, County Farm Agent.) At present we are thinking of what we shall grow this coming year, of course, the first thing w must think of is growing crops for our living. While you are search ing your mind for what you shah grow give strawberries a considers tion. Strawberries should be growi on every farm, not necessarily on a commercial basis, but for horn consumption. This is a quicklv grown crop and can be used as fresh strawberries or canned for winte Every farm in Cleveland Count v has a suitable patch for strawber ries. The location of a strawbcrr" v bed should be on a southern . i" eastern exposure with light sane or gravelly loam soil. Tire matur; ty will be influenced by the location of the plants. A heavy soil wit.” a northern slope will retard ti» maturity of berries. The light sane • soil and southern slope will hasten maturity. Tire sandy soil is more preferable though. The soil shouVi be well drained containing plenty of humus with new sod more prr ferable. The soil should be enriched b using good barn yard manure which, furnishes both plant food and hn-" mus. The manure applied to t>. soil and worked in well before set ting the plants should be practiced Barn yard manure does not con tain phosphoric acid and potash sufficient for strawberries, there fore, a high grade fertilizer should be used at the rate of 800 pound or more to the acre. A mixture o' 800 pounds of cotton seed mea t 800 pound.; of acid phosphate and 250 pound.; of muriate of potash gives the elements in about th" right proportion for the light soils There are three systems of grow ing strawberries; the hill system the matted-row system and the in termediate between the two some - times known as the hedgerow sy tern. Either one of the three sy - terns will be all right to use, how - ever, the hill system will probablv grow' larger berries. The plants should be set in the early spring c fall. For spring planting you should use good healthy plants and culti vate through the summer removing all blooms that appear the first summer allowing them to fruit tlm next spring. This gives the plan' time to develop properly for abund ant fruiting thereafter. The plants should be mulched during the late fall or winter to ’’ protect the berries from dirt b>. : keeping them off the ground. \ mulch two or three inches thick adequate for this purpose.
