STRAWBERRIES GROWN IN THIS
AREA DOUBLE YIELD IN
MANY PARTS OF U. S.
)
>UNTY NEW ¿
:
if
According to the report of John J,
Inskeep county agricultural agent
strawberries grown in this area aver
aged a yield of three and a half tons
of berries per acre last year, double
the yield obtained in many parts of
the United States.
In explaining tins exceptionally
high production record Mr. Inskeep
said: “farms are small in the berry
growing area of Clackamas county
and high yields are attributed to the
heavy fertilization, control of insect
pests and use of disease-free plants.”
Mr. Inskeep’s repoit concerning they
yield was based on records of the
Gresham Berry Growers cooperative;
which has a large membership in this
part of Clackamas county.
Accoiding to Mr. Inskeep the smalj
fruit industry brot nearly a third of
a milllion dollars into this county in
1940. He said that berry growing in
this area represents scientific agri
culture at its best.
Concerning fertilization of berry
fields Mr. Inskeep says: “An excel
lent fertilizer program is follower
by growers most of whom use an av-
arage of a thousand pounds of com
plete commercial fertilizer to plow}
ing under huge green manure crops
for humus. It is a common practice
for growers to keep from 25 to 3b
percent of their potential berry acre
age in these green manure crops,
which are so heavily fertilized that
they are ready to turn under during
March and April 1st.
