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 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.

Church School
Holds Interest
Considerable interest is being
shown in the church vacation school
at the All Saints chapel, which
opened Monday. The principal. Miss
Olive Meacham, who was also in
charge last year, says that a large
and happy group of children are en
joying the games, stories and the
, fun of real work, too, for three
hours every morning.
The school is open to every child
in Hillsboro, of any church, and is
free to all regardless of creed. The
spirit of fellowship is expressed in
supervised recreation, some military
drill, simple worship services and
manual work.
Miss Meacham has been instruc
tor in religious education in the
School for Christian Service
in
Berkeley, Cal., and has had experi
ence in conducting vacation schools
in Oregon, Washington and Califor
nia. She is now a general mission
ary of the Episcopal church and has
been assigned to the work in Hills
boro this summer by the church
headquarters in New York.
New members will be welcomed
to the chapel on Washington street.
The closing date of the school will
■be July 27.
Knee and chest injuries were suf
fered by Miss Gladys Johnson in an
