STRAWBERRY VARIETIES,
certain rainfall and the light, loose
< 1 arncter of the soil permit successful
late summer or early fall planting,
ranging from July to October, accord
ing to Professor Hugh Starnes of Geor
gia. from whose interesting cultural
<ii:v-;ions the following notes on trans
planting are made. Being intended for
a particular locality they should he re
garded as more or less elastic for other
sections:
Only the amateur, growing on a
small scale or regardless of expense,
can afford to use potted plants. Much
less expensive is the use of oue of the
improved hand transplanters. With
these transplanters, setting may pro
ceed at almost any time during the
growing season as safely as with pot
ted plants. One transplanter consists of
an “excavator,” with which the holes
for the reception of the plants are
made; a “transplanter,” which is a
small zinc cup, in which the plant is
taken up and conveyed to the field, and
an “ejector,” having a slotted disk at
the end for the accommodation of the
crown of the plant, by which the plant
is expelled after the cup has been
placed in the hole. One hundred extra
c-ups will enable the operator to take a
wagon load at one time from the old
plat to the new.
No two planters'ever agree as to the
best mechanical routine in transplant
ing or the best implements to use. The
following plan, however, has been
found effective and expeditious: Secure
the plants for resetting by using a
spade, or, better, a spading fork, and
loosen the entire row r . Take up, throw
out the old plants, which are worthless,
separate and bunch up in convenient
handfuls, trimming off the remains of
runners and dead tops and shortening
in the roots one-third. Place in buck
ets, with an inch or so of water to keep
the roots moist. Standing thus a day
or two will not hurt.
In putting out the plants a man with
a spading fork, which is better than a
spade or any form of trowel, should
precede a boy with the plants in a
bucket. Let the fork be inserted in
the ground crosswise with the row at
an angle of some 00 degrees. Raise
the handle of the fork to a perpendicu
lar. Have the boy insert a plant, with
the roots spread fan shape, in the crev
ice thus made. Place the foot against
the fork on the opposite side from the
plant and lower the handle of the fork,
at the same time withdrawing it. The
dirt will thus be pressed firmly against
the roots as the fork comes out, and
the operation is
finished. If the
soil is very loose,
a solid spade
may be found
necessary in
place of a spad
ing fork in order
to prevent the
dirt crumbling
between tlie
tines and filling
up the crevice.
This method of
transp lanting
will he found
much more rapid
and satisfactory
than the old
fashioned, back
breaking trowel
dibble work. No
man can crawl
over a field on
h i s knees or

humped as rapidly or hold out at it as
long as he can when walking erect.
The plan so frequently advised of
perching the plant on a mound of dirt
In the middle of an excavation, with
its roots carefully and deliberately
spread out in cone shape, may do for a
fancy garden plat, but no practical
berryman need be told that it -would
summon the sheriff in snort order if at
tempted on a large scale.
The berries whose comparative form
and size are illustrated are: 1, Cloud;
2, Crescent; 3, Cumberland; 4, Beecher;
5, Belmont; 6, Bismarck.
Tobacco Keeps Out Peach. Borers.
It has been recommended to pile or
scatter various substances around the
base of peach trees to keep out the
borers. Professor M. V. Slingerland
tested tobacco stems (midribs of the
leaves) from a factory by winding
them around the base of the .trees and
found the results astonishing. Evi
dently the tobacco kept out from two-
t hirds to three-fifths of the borers.
Where the stems are cheaply obtain
able they would seem worth trying.

Bloemfontein, March 2b — The' con
ditions existing in the occupied terri
tory wider imperative the somewhat
prolonged halt at B.oemfouteia. It is
accessory that the effect of the procla
mation should have rime to make itself
feir. It is declared that damage or an
noyance to the line o ’ communication
may be apprehended until the territory
behind the advancing forces is rendered
abm.utely secure. The accuracy of this
vie’.7 is proved by the fact of the ene
my’s breaking up into isolated groups,
such as that which attacked the Guards’
officers Friday. Tne adjustment of
financial and municipal matters in the
Free State is now chiefly occupying the
attention of the governor and his legal
and financial advisors. The military
regime is being conducted with great
smoothness, but recent investigations
show that caution must be exercised in
dealing with persons apparently loyal.
The summary is probably an accurate
explanation of the ireaueut appearance
and disappearance of Boers and insur
gents upon which the reports nre so
•conflicting and which so puzzle the
British military critics. General Me
thuen appears to be awaiting transporta
tion ana with Ooiouei Planter's forces
on half rations there now seems little
likelihood of the immediate relief of
Mafekmg, though neitner from this
quarter nor from Lord Roberts or Gen-
erai Buller is there any direct- news.

Trannsvaal authorities are evidently

of French, Dutch and Belgian volun

Tiie Irish Potato In Texas.
Tlie planting in Texas is done during
the months of February and March
and the new crop harvested in May
and June. The season favorable to
the growth of the potato plant is so
short that only the very early varieties
can be successfully grown. The late
varieties when planted at the usual
planting time are ready to mature
their crop during July and August,
when the excessive heat and drought
that are likely to prevail at that time
in nine eases out of ten prevent them
from doing so. If planted later, the
young plants can seldom be carried
through the summer in condition to
make a crop in the fall. The same
cause that prevents the late varieties
from making a crop makes it exceed
ingly difficult to preserve the early
crop for use later. Consequently, con
cludes Farm and Ranch, by the first
of August usually the Texas crop is
practically exhausted, and for the next
eight or nine months a-constant stream
pours in from the north, for which the
consumer pays from 80 ceuts to $1 a
bushel instead of from 30 to 40 cents,
the cost of the home grown product.
Strawberries In Louisiana.
Varieties of strawberries for com
mercial growing have been well sifted
out in Louisiana. Cloud, Michel’s Ear
ly, Gaudy, Bubach, Seltzer and Miller
are mentioned tlie most frequently, and
lately the Creole Beauty, a berry origi
nating in the state, has given promise
of good results. One item in the care
of strawberries in the eastern section
cf tlie state in some seasons serves to
save tlie crop. Tlie mulcli used is tlie
pine straw, an abundance of which is
found near at hand. This muleli is
very clean, consumes the moisture, and
when a late frost threatens it is used
as a cover for tlie plants, oftentimes
saving the crop.
ENEMIES OF CUCURBITS.
Useful Information About Combat
ing: Tliese Festu.
In bulletin 45 of the Georgia station
Professor A. L. yuintauce presents an
excellently arranged illustrated ac
count of "Some Important Insect Ene
mies of the Cucurbits.” This is, in
fact, a very practical little manual for
gardeners and farmers, and, with its
clear description of the enemies to be
combated and thorough but eoacise
instructions as to remedial measures,
should prove valuable to many. Six
insects are dealt with—the striped
cucumber beetle, the melon aphis, or
plant louse: the pickle worm, the mel
on borer, the squash vine borer and the
squash bug. Information in regard to
the first two is thus summarized:
1. The Striped Cucumber Beetle.—(a)
Destructive, to cucurbits all season,
but its most apparent damage is in
eating the foliage and stems of plants
in the spring, just as they are coming
through the soil or while still quite
young, (b) Eggs are dropped by the
adult females here and there over the
plants or on the ground, and the re
sulting larva- lead a more or less sub
terranean life, feeding on tlie vines
and fruit where in contact with moist
earth. The effect of the larvre on the
vines is quite injurious, though but lit
tle recognized by growers. Breeding
continues throughout the season, and
full grown larvae may be found as late
as the middle of September. Adults
pass the winter in hibernation, and
from this long fast they appear in the
spring with very ravenous appetites,
feeding greedily on young cucurbits
and other plants, (c) No oue method
seems to be satisfactory in the con
trol of the striped cucumber beetle.
Protecting young plants with covers is
quite profitable on a small scale. The
most hopeful line of treatment is prob
ably to he found in tlie use of squash
plants as a trap crop for the beetles as
they appear in tlie spring.
2. The Melon Aphis, or Plant Louse,
—(a) Infesting vines from early spring
until late fall, occurring mainly on the
under surface of leaves, where, from
their sucking of sap, the leaves be
come curled and misshapen. Infested
plants soon become stunted, and death
frequently results, (b) Winged plant
lice may make their appearance in cu
curbit fields early in tlie spring, coiniu
in from some of their food plants in
the neighborhood. Colonies are started
by these winged individuals here and
there iu the field. Young are born
alive at a rapid rate and attain re
productive maturity iu about one week.
Both winged and wingless individuals
occur on the same plant. The winged
forms migrate to other plants, thus
spreading the infection. Breedin.
continues all seasou, and the winter is
passed in the egg state and possibly
in hibernation, (e) Keep a close look
out for the insects in the spring and
begin treatment at once. Kerosene
emulsion and whale oil soap are both
good, and the use of carbon bisulphide
is quite practicable.
THE CHERRY FRUIT FLY.
A Frostproof Peach.
The Iron Mountain peach is, accord
ing to The Rural New Yorker, a large,
late, white peach which originated in
New Jersey several years ago and is
now fruiting in several states. The in
troducer claims extreme hardiness for
it. both in tree and bud, “the only re
ally frostproof peach yet introduced;
begins to bear when only 2 years old
and bears good crops everywhere.”
The Rural New Yorker says: It has
not yet been planted everywhere, but
CHERRY WORM, FLY AND WINS.
(but somewhat smaller) the house fly.
We think that the adult form of it is
the fly shown, natural size and en
larged, in the cut. The body is black.
Its head and legs are light yellowish
brown. The wings (one is shown en
larged) are crossed by four blackish
bands and have a blackish spot at
their tip. The maggot is of a light yel
lowish white color.
Unfortunately this cherry maggot
works in a very inconspicuous man
ner. All of those who suffered from
its ravages tlie past summer did not
know of its presence until their atten
tion was called to it by tlie consum
ers of the cherries. Tlie two cherries
in the upper part of tlie second cut
contained maggots, although they were
apparently perfect fruits externally. If
the cherries are allowed to remain on
the tree or are not used within a few
days after picking, tlie work of the
maggot will result in a rotting and
sinking in of a portion of the fruit, as
is shown by three cherries in the lower
part of the cut. When this stage is
reached or often even before the fruit
shows signs of rotting, the maggots
are usually full grown and soon crawl
out of the fruits.
One grower at Geneva, N. Y., reports
that he fears the same insect worked
in his prunes last year. Ten years ago
maggots were found working in both
cherries and plums in northern Michi
gan. These were thought to have been
the apple maggot, but we believe they
were identical with those which have
worked iu the cherries of New York
and Massachusetts this year. Thus
cherry growers in the eastern, middle
and northern states should be on tlie
lookout for the pest.
There seems to be no practicable
method of getting at the pest while it
is in the fruit, except the heroic meth
od of picking and destroying by boil
ing, burying or otherwise tlie whole
crop on the infested trees just about
the time tlie -first fruits are ready to
pick or even before. This method, of
course, involves the loss of the cherry
crop of a season, but it is the only
sure method we can conceive of to
completely check 1he pest. The pest
could be quickly stamped out in this
way, as it spreads very slowly.
If what few “windfalls” there might
be wore destroyed, all the marketable

Feints of Potato Cnltnre.
The Maryland station has found that
there is always a decided advantage in
spraying for potato blight.
Practically no difference resulted as
between early and late cultivation, but
results slightly favor deep cultivation
compared to shallow.
Ridge versus flat culture afforded no
marked difference.
Planting in narrow rows versus wide
ones showed a difference iu favor of
narrow rows, and this is believed to
be due to the greater e&vering to the
ground by the vines in the narrow
rows, which causes a preservation of
moisture.

At the South Carolina experiment
station the principal advantage in the
early application of fertilizer to cotton
land is found iu the fact that the soil
is usually iu better coudition for the

consequently admits of more thorough
work.
The remarkable effectiveness of ni
trate of soda as a source of nitrogen
has been shown at the Georgia station,
where it has been used for a number of
years as top dressing on oats.
