Conserving Fruit With Formalin Bath At Kew Trials
English agricultural researchers at Jodrell Laboratory Kew tested dipping ripe fruit in a 3 percent formalin solution for ten minutes then five minutes in cold water. Cherries showed seven days of soundness, strawberries four, gooseberries seven, pears ten, and grapes four after treatment. The method suits soft pulp and firm fruit alike and is praised for safety and low cost.

Strawberries in yards a home hobby not required for farms
The Townsman Country Journal notes strawberries can be grown by any householder in a yard with one or two strawberry beds.

Strawberry barrels yield heavy crops in compact gardens
Holes are bored in a cask and filled with rich loamy compost. A strawberry plant is placed in each hole with the crown protruding. The process is repeated until full, producing fruitful plants in about ten weeks. A two foot diameter base supports more plants than eighty square feet of ground. Rotating the barrel on a pivot could expose plants to sun evenly.
Government tests electric light to boost plant growth
The Department of Agriculture plans experiments to test growing plants under electric light at night, aiming to cut farming costs. Lettuce is a focus as it proves highly responsive to electric influence, with a year or more expected for results. The program seeks a commercial scale and to compare electricity costs with traditional growth.
