JEFFERSON MONUMENT §1$7.35 to $7.70. Minnesota AKING STRAWBERRIES SURE | | " lAmple Supply of Moisture Is Essential During Both Growing and Fruit- ing Seasons. !Prepared by the United States Depast-| | ment of Agriculture.) . Strawberries must have. an ample pply of moisture not only during the of bearing fruit but also ughout the growing season. For reason irrigation is necessary to Imake'the crop reasonably sure in most wections of the western United States. i As strawberries have a shallow root em the surface soil must be kept oist and irrigation must be more fre- uent than for many plants whose ts penetrate the soil deeply. The umber of irrigations, however, will lepend largely on jhe character and , lerequency of the tillage used in con- rving moisture and on the type and dition of the soll. If the furrows re thoroughly cultivated as soon as the moisture conditions permit after g ;u'ch irrigation the number of applica- ons of water can be materially re- ' lduced, ns compared with the number ired when cultivation 1s neglected. the lghter solls, during the bearing leeason, the flelds may be irrigated as loften as every four to six days, and n heavy soils every week or two. Dur- ing the months when the plants are not feruiting only enough water to keep ithem in a thrifty, growing condition is ®ecessary. . During the picking period the usual practice 1s to irrigate immediately B} mr each picking. When/there is dan- ger that the water in the furrows may pot be absorbed before 'the following . plcking the field may be covered by two. applications, alternate furrows being firrigated in turn. . . In many parts of the western states ‘ the solls contain alkali, and alkaline ts are brought to the surface in - #uch quantities as a result of {irriga- on, that the strawberry plants are in- ed and even killed. Usually the indication of alkali injury is yel- < Hill' System for Strawberries as Prac- ticed in the South Is Conducive to . Rapid Maturity. . Jowing of the leaves in the lower spots fn the fleld. In selecting a site for a strawberry fleld places where the soils are known to contain alkali should be avolded. Another limiting factor in growing ‘ trawberries in some localities in the West are nematodes, a parasite also %nown as eelworms and gallworms. +[Their effect, which is usually manifest @rst on the roots, is commonly called root knot, because of; the knotlike en- .largements they produce. Nematodes occur widely in solls where the win- ter climate is so mild that the ground rarely freezes more than a few Inches ideep, or does not freeze at all. Straw- berries shonld not be planted in soll known to be infested with nematodes, d plants should not be used which ve been grown in infested areas. GRAPE CUTTINGS FOR FUTURE Profitable Practice to Get Them Ready for 8pring Planting—Prevent Freezing. . Farmers wishing to set out vine- will profit by making grape cut- and getting them ready for' planting, according to horticule 1 at the Ohio experiment station. namber ‘of cuttings may be made m one vine, and after one year of culttvation in a small nursery lot the young vines are ready for planting. Cuttings should be taken from new wood, each cutting having two to three | buds upon it. The cuttings are from 8 to 12 inches long, the bottom being med close to the.first: bud, while &e top of the cutting has 2 or 8 inches wood ahove ‘the top bud. ‘These are tied in bundies and placed in damp sand. in the céllar or buried out of doors and covered to prevent Injury from severe freezing. In the spring the cuttings are View of the Thomas Jefferson mon- ument on the campus at the Univer- sity of Missourl. The monument is ex- actly as designed by Mr. Jefferson. The marble tablet originally put om the monument was badly damaged when the university buildings were de- strayed by l!ro_hnuary”fi. 1802, . W. G. Cooper of Albert Lea ar- rived in Bemidji several days ago and will move on his farm, which is located on the Jefferson Highway between Becida and Itasca Park. Mr. Cooper is one of twenty farm- ers from the vicinity of Lake Forrest, Minn., who have purchased farms in that locality, and the remaining buy- ers are expected to take possession this spring. J. A. Dawson, who was one of the twenty, came to Bemidji last fall and has taken up his residence, in the city for the present. < When all are located it will com- prise a colony of old-time neighbors, which will doubtless develop an ex- cellent social center and add much to the home life on the farm. The soil in this section of the country is productive and indications are that some of the best farms in Northern Minnesota will be devel- PSYCHOLOGY IN DAILY LIFE. - The above subject will be discussed by Miss Emma Grant, instructress in the State - Normal evening at 8 o'clock in the City hall council chamber, followed briefly by. several other well known local peo- ple and then by an open forum.
