TALKS Oil THE STRAWBERRY INDUSTRY
tl Is of Commercial Importance Above Any Other Small
Fruit in the Salem District A Discussion of the Dif

Enemies That Must Be Avoided or Fought i
Marion County Fruit Inspector
S. H. Van Trump found himself
too busy to respond with a letter
to the questionaire sent out to
growers and others interested in
the strawberry industry, and . a
reporter found him at his office at
tbe court house yesterday after
noon, and he granted an interview,
substantially as follows:
l The strawberry is of more com
mercial importance to ' the Salem
district than any other small fruit
It Is needed to supply the local
and nearby markets with fresh
berries, and the barreling and can
ning demand for. distant markets,

Strawberry Varieties. ' '
The Wilson and Ettersburg 121
are the chief-canning varieties.
, The Wllgon seems to require for
its best prodaction new bench or
hill land; and land of greater fer
tility than the average; it needs a
warm soil. The bottom - land is
often too heavy; produces too
much foliage and not enough ber
ries. Some growers in the hills
-have produced, as high as two and
a half tons to the acre. It is a
favorite in -the red hills. It has
been a standard so long in those
localities that the growers are dis
posed to stay with it. The Wil
son makes a very sure crop around
Macleay and Shaw, especially on
land fairly new and fertile.
The Ettersburg is good, but fin
icky about soil. It goes to foliage
on the sandy soils and does not
perform we'll on the gravel land.
It does well on a mixture of sand
and loam, though it has not done
well in, some parts of the Kaiser
bottom. It never has been very
successful in the hill section is
not' uniform;; does not perform
ihe same any two years in suc
cession. It . requires favorable
sunshiny weather , when in' bloom.
Irrigation would no doubt help.
7 There have been some remark
able yields of Ettersburgs. Glen
Bo wen. on the SUverton T6ad, not
far from Silverton, last year har
vested 200 crates to the acre; 24
or
r200
pounds to the crate,.
pounds to the acre.
About the Trebla
The Trebla has been a heavy
bearer for j some growers, and
some authorities are advising in
favor of the Trebla now. It is
the best average producer of any
variety of canning berries grown
here; berries of fair quality and
especially in dry seasons; not so
good a quality in wet seasons.
Some growers say they can make
more money off of Treblas than
any other berries. f
, The New Oregon is the best
home market berry, and for bar
reling.'. It makes a vigorous plant;
has plenty of runners and a strong
crown. Jir.! Hunt of Morningside,
a Salem suburb, sold $800 worth
Of New - Oregon berries the past
season, from three acres Of good
land. j
The Marshall berry is good ;
very similar to the New Oregon;
a little firmer. It is not as ex
tensively grown here as the New
Oregon. It is a good barreling
variety. j
: There are some everbearing ber
ries grown ; the Progressives. They
are still bearing, and will be till
Christmas time.
General Ilemarks
Strawberries should have good
drainage; good bench or hill land,
or mixed loam and sandy bottom
land. In the latter localities they
are in more danger from late
frosts. . '-: . j ..- -: , .
Strawberries do not much ex
haust the soil; do not require ex
pensive fertilizers.. They are easy
to plant. They can be kept" up in
virgin soil for a long time, with
out much expense.
There will be enough new acre
age planted to take the place of
the old patches plowed up in this
district, and the strawberry in
dustry will persist. With favor
able markets and careful,, keeping
away of ; the strawberry; enemies,
and perhaps some improved va
rieties, there - will likely be a
steady growth of acreage here.
The Strawberry Enemies j
The crown borer needs to be
watched from the beginning. This
pest may be easily gotten : rid of
by cutting the infested hills out
and burning up the vines. This
may be said also of the j crown
miner, a very similar pest.' They
both work above the ground. The
effects of their work are easily
seen. Go after them in the be-ginning-rkeep
ahead of them.
Otherwise they will eat up your
vines.
The strawberry root weevil is
a worse pest. He is here, especial
ly in the Salem gardens. The way
to get rid of this pest is to not let
him get started. He stays in the
ground like a fish worm; , he lives
on 30 different plants. A lady
from Aurora sent a sample of in-1 the c0n.v COurt
lesiea rnuoaru, ana u was iounn
that ; it had the , strawberry root
weeviK The way to fight the
weevil is to keep it out. i
The root weevil has completely
destroyed strawberry patches in
the Hood River and Freewater
districts, and some near Portland
cultivated by the Japanese gard
eners. If the weevil once gets started,
the only thing to do is to change
crops entirely, and to cultivate
such crops, as potatoes till the
weeyil pests are completely starv
ed out. This may take some years.
