Best New Strawberry Beds
The horticultural department at the Nebraska College of Agriculture advises choosing new strawberry beds with plants produced this season. Old plants have dark roots, while this summer’s plants show lighter roots. They can be planted in fall or spring, and a 3 to 4 inch straw mulch after ground freezes helps prevent winter freeze thaw. Remove part of the mulch in spring as growth begins.

Corncobs as Mulch for Raspberry and Blackberry Patches
Corncobs make a splendid mulch for raspberries and blackberries. Spread through the patch in late fall or winter they will keep down weeds the following spring and summer and retain soil moisture with evident success as any other medium. By replacing the top layers each season those underneath soon rot. Provides clean underfooting for pickers.
Prune Dead Limbs To Save Apple Trees
Dead limbs rob trees of water and invite disease. Prune them out now to improve crop quality and prevent canker from spreading through the orchard. Paint wounds to protect new cuts.
Pruning Of Great Benefit In Iowa Orchards
An orchard survey in an Iowa county shows annual pruning yields average net returns over $125 per acre, while orchards pruned occasionally or not at all return just under $55 per acre. Mr. George Heller of Baltimore has been visiting town.
