STRAWBERRIES FROM
SUMMER TO FROST
Strawberries from your graden
throughout summer and autumn are
now a possibility as the result of the
perfection of "overbearing" varieties
of this delicious berry. Everbearing
strawberries are not a brand new dis
covery, but heretofore they have been
grown chiefly by amateurs and com
mercial growers who have tested them
in comparison with ordinary sorts. In
a recent publication of the United
States Department of Agriculture an
nouncement is. made that a sufficient
number of trials of these varieties
now have been completed to indicate
their real value for home use and for
market in certain sections of the coun
try.
Primarily a Northern Type
The regions where it is known that
overbearing varieties can be grown
extend as far south as the northern
narts of Virginia, Kentucky, Arkan
sas, and Kansas. South of these lim
its there are probably points where
they may be grown with some degree
of success, but they are not definitely
known to succeed there.
The two leading varietics of this
type of strawberry, the Progressive
and the Superb, are notable not only
because they produce fruit from the
time of the usual crop until late sun
mer or autumn, but also because they
are exceptionally resistant to leaf-spot
diseases. They are also very hardy.
The Progressive has been found to
withstand the winters of the Middle
West better than any other variety
except the Dunlap, one of its parents.
The Superb also is hardier than most
varieties of strawberries. Another re
markable characteristic of these vari
eties is that if their blooms are killed
by frost they soon flower again.
Therefore in many sections subject to
late spring frosts, which often destroy
the crop, these varieties are particu
larly valuable.
If plants of the everbearing type
set early in the spring, a small crop
can be had the first season. Plants
which have been set for a year give
a fair yield at the time the usual
strawberry crop is borne. For the
period immediately after this early
summer crop the amount of fruit se
cured is small. In August, September
and Octover it becomes larger and un
der favorable conditions the late sum
mer or autumn crop from certain va
rieties may equal or exceed the early
summer crop. Thus instead of a con
stant supply throughout the season
there is a distinct early summer crop,
then a period of comparative rest
when little fruit is produced, followed
by a long period when a fairly uni
form amount of fruit is borne.
Weather conditions play an .impor
tant part in the amount of fruit pro
duced during the summer and autumn.
Only when the moisture supply and
other climatic conditions are favorable
ca'ni the yield be constant. For this
reason the results obtained from
the everbearing varieties have varied
greatly in the different sections of the
country and in different years. If a
long dilought occurs while the plants
are fruiting, the berries become small
and the plants finally cease to bear.
Therefore they are not too well adapt
ed to sections having long droughts
e'-cent when irrigation can be sup
plied.

TERRITORIES PRODUCE MORE
The two million people in Alaska,
Hawaii, Porto Rico, and Guam are
trying to do their pert for the food
supply. Through its experiment sta
tions in these possessions the United
States Department of Agiiculture ear
ly in the emergency started cam
paigns to increase food production. To
make the territories less dependent
upon the mainland of this country for
their supplies is the aim of the Fed
eral wvorkers. Important results al
readly haev been obtained.
Porto Rico wvhich formerly imported
more than $800,000 worth of beans
annually from the mainland now is in
a position to export this prodluct. The
Alaska stations have greatly increas
ed the areas sown to grains and now
are able to meet increased dlemandls
for seedl grains locally adlapted. The
Guam station is dlistributing larger
quantities of seedls and plants for cul
tivation by the natives, with pros
pects of an increasedl prodaction of
food. Hawvaii also has materially in
creased its prodluction of food crops.
Before the war Hawaii and Porto Rico
imported some $20,000,000 worth of
food supplies from this country an
nually. Many of the articles inmportedl
can be grown successfully in these
islnands.

MANURE
The Cheapest Ferti1izpr.
THE world shortage of farm products means continued high prices
for everything your land can produce. Plant more acreage this
year and make each acre produce, more.
Now is the time to use Manure-the cheapest fertilizer.
The following comparison of the plant food value in commercial fer
tilizer and manure bears evidence that it is to your interest from a cost
standpoint to use Manure on your land.

Furthermore the decaying organic matter in the Manure is
constantly adding available plant food to the soil, is valuable
both from a humus standpoint as well as a land builder. Manure
will show results for three years, and its cost divided through this
period will show a much lower cost per unit of plant food than
any other fertilizer on the market.

W E ARE daily making shipments of this product into all sections'
of the country, and it is being received with entire satisfaction
on account of its excellent quality and condition on arrival at
destination.
It contains no objectionable matter such as trash, dirt, obnoxious
grass seeds, etc.; oat straw is the only bedding used, and the Manure
naturally contains a small quantity, but not sufficient to make it objec
tionable. As a matter of fact, it is worth more than its weight, on ac
count of its high value of potash, which makes it more valuable as a fer
tilizer.
