Campbell mm boys TO GROW BERRIES - , ' New Work Undertaken by Some of State's Alert Young Farmers, SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS ?V ... , .... Clemson College Hat Sent Boys Dlreo tians For 8tr?wberry Culture That Will Be Useful to Adult Farmers and Surburban Dwellers as Well Advice on All Stops, From Prepar ing Soli to Paoking Crates. Eighty South Carolina coru club boys, eighty of the best lu the State, are adding strawberry culture to their work, These are the boys who by their corn club work last year, won scholarships to Clemson College for the summer course. During the course they were promised that In structions for growing strawberries would be sent to them la the fall and the boys expressed themselves as eager to try small patches of the luscious fruit as pvt of their club work. P. J. C rider, associate professor of horticulture at Clem?on College, has prepared and sent thb boys a set of Instructions for strawberry culture. These instructions are Bimple and brief, but cover the subject in all im portant branches. They will be use fu! to any who desire to grow straw berries and this should include a large number of suburban dwellers as well as farmers. Prof. Coder's directions are as follows: Soil for Strawberries. Any kind except bottom land and stiff clay. Preparation of Land. Break deep ly, smooth the surface well, and lay off rows as for cotton. When ready to plant* knock the bed down to a level. Fertilising. Fertilize heavily with stable manure, either broadcast or in the furrow, before planting. Each fall, just before mulching, apply broadcast a mixture of about 250 pounds cottonseed meal, 400 pounds kainlt, and 260 pounds acid phosphate, these being the amounts per acre. 8et,tlng Plants. Set plants in straight line, 18 Inches apart in row Place plants in rather large holes with roots spread apart and pack soil firmly about them. Keep roots ol plants moist until planting. Plac? name of variety on a stake at end ol row.* Mulching. As soon as plants are set, cover ground all about nlanta wj th_ heavy coating of pine needles or oal straw. This holds moisture and keeps berries clean in spring. Apply this mulch each year thereafter in septemtrer: " Cultivating. Begin cultivation jusl after beFiIw? ur? gathered, cultivate as for cotton, koeping a loose layet of soil on top and all weeds and grass removed. Treatment of Runners First Sum mer. Let runners take root along rows so as to get plaijts for a new patch. Setting a New Patch. In Septembei use new plants in setting out a new patch, following same method as be fore. , . I Treatment for 8econd Summer, Give same treatment as first summer, except that all runners must be cut off (unless more new plants ar? wanted). Repeat this the third sura | mem. , Treatment for Third Fall. Plow up L your old strawberry patch. Straw | berry plants will not produce deslr> able berries after the third crop. Gathering Fruit, Pinch berries from stalks without bruising, 1 earing items on. Go over patch every other day, sometimes every day. Pick ben lies when they are red, while yet firm. Gather in standard Quart straw* berry baskets. The basket Is sold with the berries. ^ .While picking, place the larger berries In one basket, the sec ond size in anothdr, arid the smallest size (which should not be marketed) in a third. This is vefy Important. [ Naming the Grades. Name the first r grade "Extra Fancy" and the second grade "Fancy." Writ* name of grade, variety, and your own name on each baaket. Use quart else strawberry baskets, 22 to the crate, and see to it that they are neat and clean. Get prices tm s and baskets [ from manufacturers and have supplies reach yon in ample ^time. Arrangement of Berries In Basket. Have every basket well filled and ar? range the berries on top in rowe. Carry baskets to market , in neatly packed crates. They will commandi. attention and^bring the highest prlcea. . DRAGGING WITH AUTO ? Western farm paper suggests that tenners keepup their roads by hitch lng a drag to their automobile#. The idea ie to take the drag along behind the auto tor a mile or two when on a trip to town, then to leave t*e drag by the roadside, to pick it ap.on the retnrn trip, and to drag the other side of the Hmi It has been tried vrttk sTirrnss ' ' AV COiHflktfL SAN JOSE SCALE Do Not l?et Winter Pass Without Mak ing Effort to Oet flld of Thle Fruit R?at by Spraying. The time to spray San Jose scale ia in wluter wlien the trees are leaf* lest* and doruiaut, because the mate rials that have to ha used are so se vere that they would destroy the foli age if applied when the leaves are on. The most satisfactory spray Is lime sulfur wash. Wheu purchased from a reputable house It Is more uniform ly effective than when boiled accord ing to the old method, Directions for preparing the home-made wash, how ever, will he furnished on request. To prepare the spray from commer cial wash, dilute oue gallon of the wash with eight and oue half gallons of cold water. Ordinarily, one Hpray is enough. .In bad cases, spray as soon as the leaves are off and repeat in February. Wo do not ? recommend spraying with this material after the buds have started. Lime-sulfur wash will not success fully control the gloomy and cottony maple scales so common to maple trees, nor will It successfully control oyster shell scale of the orchard. For these we recommend heavy oil emul sions at the rate of one part of th? oil to twenty parts of water. Owing to the variety of oIIb now being tried out, any one wishing definite informa tion about oils for these pests should write us. Oils bought from standard houses are generally well emulsified,! but It Is always well to make a separa tion test as followa: After making up the spray ,set one-half tumbler of the mixture in a quiet place for an liour. If no separation shows in the fprni of light oils coming to the top, the oil Jis safe to spray according to direc tions. When a separation takes place, the manufacturers arc always willing to adjust the matter. A. F. CONRADI, Professor of Entomology, Clemson Agricultural College. PERMANENT PASTURES Bermuda and Bur Clover Make Moat Desirable A^-the-Year Pasture For 8outh Carolina. Bermuda grass and bur clover malra the most desirable permanent pasture for South Carolina and Bermuda espe cially Is recommended by Clemson College as a pasture grass to all farm ers In this state who are raising cat tle and hogs or who expect to raise them. One or the most essential steps in any live-stock development is the establishment of a good permanent pasture. Experience has shown that Bermuda is the best pastiire grass for the South. One of its valuable qualities is that it may be planted in practical ly any month, the only precaution nec essary in winter being to cover the roots deeply enough. in sowing Bermuda grass, it is best to use the roots. Run turn plow fur rows two feet apart, drop a small root every two feet In these furrows and throw one burrow on each planted row. Allow to grow for one summer, with only light grazing, and ti^rn un der or otherwise break in fall, just. at or soon aftor frost. The long runners thus covered will furnish a new plant, the following season from each cover ed Joint and you will have an excel lent sod. If done in this way a good sod can be obtained within twc years at small expense. If Bermuda grass Is put in this win ter, bur clover can be added next Aug ust.

Whenever your fruit trees die back and you find little hcfles in the hark that make you think somebody had ?hot Into the trees with * a shotgun loaded with No. 8 shot, those trees are Infested with shot hole borers. If with your knife blade you pael off the bark you will .And not Sap wood, but a mass of sawdust Instead. Shot hole borers usually attack a tree that has been weakened. The principal causes of ?weakening in-treee - ere scale and borers. A badly infeated tree should be cut out and burned during winter. Badly infested branches should be cut from a tree and the tree stimulated. Insects stay over wlntsr In bark as little white grubs and pupae. By care fully watching the tree one may deter mine the time when the last brood of beetles has eeme out. which is about the middle of September.
