The prepara- tion of the soil for strawberries should usually begin a year or two before the plants are to be set, unless they are to be set in soil which has received the proper cultivation in growing other crops. Newly plowed sod land should not be used. The grass roots often prove objectionable and there is also the possibility of injury to the plants BETTER FRUIT from insects. If the soil is deficient in humus a green manure crop should be grown, such as clover or some other le- gume, or stable manure where available should be applied. Setting the plants so that the crowns are even with the surface of the ground after the soil has been packed about the roots, and making the soil very firm about the plant are important. If the soil is not properly firmed about the roots, air gets to them and they are like- ly to dry out, resulting in a feeble growth or none at all. In localities subject to late spring frost a site for strawberries should be Page 17 somewhat elevated, as cold air settles in low places and frosts occur there more frequently than on the elevated spots. Strawberries thrive best on soil which is naturally moist, but not wet. Plants on wet soil usually make very little growth in the summer and are likely to be killed when the ground freezes in the winter. Therefore the site chosen for strawberries should be well drained. Ordinarily a site having a gradual rather than a steep slope should be selected. By choosing differ- ent slopes it is possible to vary the period of ripening several days, as the berries having a southern exposure</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image: </b><br><i>POULTRY FEEDS t Make a Healthy, Productive Flock POULTRY feeds must contain the proper ingredients, correctly blended and accurately balanced, to produce maximum results.
