BULLETIN TELLS
OF DISEASES OF
The more important diseases of
strawberries are described In a re
cent bulletin termed by the United
States department of ngrleulture as
I'll rm era' Bulletin 14.r8 together
with an account of such control
methods na are of proved value
sayfl the California Fruit News.
The great variety of conditions
under which the strawberry Is
grown necessitates diffoiont metli
ods of culture and ha lulling. Mcth
oda of control or tttrawuerry dis
eases must be adapted to locul conditions.
Severe attacks of leaf diseases
leaf-spot, Bcorch and mildew may
bo controlled by spraying or dust
ing. Often, however, frequent re
newal of strawberry patches or the
use of resistant varieties will serve
to keep tht'Ke diseases in check.
The diseases caused by nema
todes may be avoided by planting
strawberries in soil which Is free
from these pests. Infected land
may be freed from nematodes by
uiree-year rotation with immune
crops.
Fruit rots may be reduced by
proper mulching. Careful handling
and adequate refrigeration will
greatly lessen the losses from rots
which occur after picking.
A copy of the bulletin may be
secured, ns long ae the supply lasts,

METHOD OF PICKING
CHICKEN STARTS ROW
, San Francisco, Oil., Oct. 2fi
(A. P.) Radical differences on
(ho correct method of picking n
chicken brought G. G. Dclhon'.a,
Oakland chicken picker, to the
uakland receiving hospital.
It all happened at the Oakland
chicken pickers' union ball. Del-
bonta Instated that the orthodox
way to pick a chicken was to start
at the right center instead of the
lower left center.
Proponents of correct picking
proceeded to make the foul hers fly
Delbonta was sadly vanquished in
the more direct method of argu
ment.
CRANBERRY SPECIAL TO
TAKE BERRIES TO MARKET
Ilwaco, Wash., Oct. 2fi A special
ranberry train Is run every day
from points In l'aclflc county.
Washington, to toko the cranber
ries to the markets. This service
will contlnuo until the cranberries
are moved from the peninsula. The
movement has been very heavy on
account of the enormous crop. A
total of 150 cars will be needed
to carry the cranberries produced
In Oregon and Washlngti n this
year.
The movement of r ran berries
has been heavier nt this time of
the year than in any previous year
Up to this time fully one third of
the crop of the coast has moved
out of the hands of the growers.
APPLES IN CANADA
Tlie present commercial apple
crop In Canada Is estimated to bo
10:t per cent of 1024 or 2,860,336
barrels, and 76 per cent of a five-
year average, according to a re
cently Issued estimate of the Ca
nadian department of agriculture
as reported in the California Fruit
News.
Conditions in British Columbia
are shown to be better than antlcl
paled enrlior In the season. The
commercial crop In Ontario Is es
tlmated nt 1,190,886 barrels as com
pared with (18-1,810 barrels In 1924.
It Is thought there will be little
difficulty In marketing thiB sea
son's crop in Ontario as all other
provinces show a material decrease
as compared to other years. Nova
Scotia's commercial apple crop is
placed at 75 per cent of last year,
and both Quebec and New Bruns
wick are shown to have smaller
crops this year than In 1924.
