Golf Players at Forest Hills to Vie for Honors Bank Deposits Show Big Gain Banks Man Injured In Quarry Accident Timely Horticultu al Notes for July Are Given in Article by County Agent; He Advises Cleanup of Strawberry Fields By 0. T. McWhorter, County Agent A general cleanup and soil culti­ vation should be given the straw­ berry fields as soon as the crop is off. A thorough cultivation should be undertaken at this time. Break­ ing some of the older, shallower roots of the strawberry plants will not be serious then as a new root system will be produced along with the new top for next yenr’s produc­ tion. This cultivation will enn|>le the working in of a fertilizer appli­ cation ns well. Two to 250 pounds of superphosphate spread and work­ ed in the ground at this time of the year will probably affect next year’s production as much ns n similar ap­ plication of fertilizer applied at nny other time of the year. Where spider mito or lenf spot is prevalent on the strnwlierry plants cutting the tops nllowing them to dry sufficiently to burn will prob­ ably tnke care of both of these pests fairly well. A severe infesta­ tion, of spider mite, however, may require an application of summer oil or lime sulphur, or sulphur dust to completely control this insect. One to one and a half per cent of 18911 Was a Mason Many Year» Out by Judge one of the light summer oilx or one to 40 or 50 lime sulphur spray, or a thorough sulphur dusting will clean up the insects. Sufficient late summer cultivation to keep down weed growth and run­ ner cutting should be continued through the summer. Cherry Slug» Cherry growers should keep their eyes open for the new generation of slugs the latter part of July or in /Vugust. If slugs have been present in the orchard at all this season, they will probably bo more plenti­ ful nt this later time. Arsenate of lead, 2 pounds to 100 gallons of water, will control them. Remove Old Bramble Cane» Removing the old fruiting canes of loganberries and red raspberries immediately after the crop is har­ vested, in most cases will improve the vigor and condition of the new canes for next year's production. These old canes are a more or less drain upon the whole plant, appar­ ently holding back tho growth of the new canes.
