Horticultural Points HENRY GAINES HAWN MAKING STRAWBERRIES SURE Ample Supply of Moisture.Is Essential During Both Growing and Fruit ing Seasons. * 4 \ (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Strawberries must have an ample supply of moisture not only during the season of bearing fruit but also throughout the growing season. For this reason Irrigation is necessary to make the crop reasonably sure In most sections of the western United States. As strawberries have a shallow root system the surface soil must be kept moist and irrigation must be more fre quent than for many plants whose roots penetrate the soil deeply, The number of irrigations, however, will depend largely on the character and frequency of the tillage used in con- serving moisture and on the type and condition of the soil. If the furrows nre thoroughly cultivated as soon as the moisture conditions permit after each irrigation the number of applica tions of water can be materially re duced, as compared with the number required when cultivation is neglected • In the lighter soils, during the bearing season, the fields may be Irrigated as often as every four to, six days, and in heavy soils every week or two. Dur ing the months when the plants are not fruiting only enough water to keep them In a thrifty, growing condition is necessary. During the picking period the usual practice is to irrigate Immediately after each picking. When there Is dan ger that the water in the furrows may not be absorbed before the following picking the field may be covered by two applications, alternate furrows being Irrigated in turn. In many parts of the western states the soils contain alkali, and alkaline salts are brought to the surface In such quantities as a result of irriga tion that the strawberry plants are in jured and even killed. Usually the first indication of alkali Injury Is yel- Henry Caines Hawn of San Fran- ilsco, an authority on community build ing, is one of several speakers now touring the state In connection with the expansion movement of the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce. The State Chamber is making a state-wide appeal for a budget of $450, 000, covering a period of three years, to carry on its development work. The movement has been endorsed by more than two hundred leading men throughout Oregon. Eighty community executive committees have been organ ized to co-operate with the State Cham ber in the canvass throughout the state which will be conducted during June and July. STATE CHAMBER TO EXPAND ACTIVITIES State-wide Appeal For Budget Made to Provide For De velopment Program. What is the plan of the expansion movement of the Oregon State Cham- ber of Commerce? How is it to be carried out? What Is it for? These are the three questions upper- most in the minds of the majority of those who have been informed of the movement which the State Chamber launched April 19th with a survey of the state to set up preliminary organ isation and establish a direct connec tion with practically every community in the thirty-six counties of Oregon. The expansion movement by way of explanation might be divided into three distinct classes. These are: First—A survey of the state. Second—An educational campaign to be carried on through- local newspapers and by mailing literature pertaining to the movement direct to industries, firms and individuals interested In the development of the state. Third—The intensive organization HERALD, HERMISTON work at which time a state-wide can- vass will be made, county by county, to raise a budget to enable the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce to carry on its program of development work for the state on a broader, more com prehensive scale. Thia canvass will be nade throughout the state during June ind July. This budget is to be obtained by popular subscription. The appeal will je state-wide and to everyone interest- d in the development of Oregon and is particular community. It is be- ieved the response will be met by the nanufacturer, the merchant, the farm- r and the individual, for each is vital ly interested in seeing Oregon forge ahead and develop its advantages and resources. Industrial developments depend on two factors: Natural resources or raw materials, and' proximity to markets for manufactured products. Granted these and sufficient encouragement development inevitably follows. Oregon has the raw materials and natural resources. It will be the purpose of the State Chamber of Com tierce under its expanded program to' acquaint the world with these facts, and through direct solicitation, get in dustrial management to consider Ore gon as a site for their .industries. Furniture and wool manufacture In Oregon are in their infancy. So is the canning and preserving of fruits. With Its vast resources In water power, Its labor market, geographical location, Oregon offers many advantages to the manufacturer who, however, must first be Interested in Oregon and know its advantages. DOUBLE POPULATION OF OREGON FARMERS STATE CHAMBER PLAN Oregon now has 5,000,000 acres of land under cultivation. In 1919 the agricultural crop was valued at $206,000,000.00. By honest advertising the Ore- gon State Chamber of Commerce can double the agricultural acre age in three years. This would add another $206,000,000.00 to the agricultural revenue of the State, using last year’s figures as a basis of figuring. 66 lowing of the leaves In the lower spots In the field. In selecting a site for a strawberry field places where the soils are known to contain alkali should be avoided. Another limiting factor In growing strawberries In some localities in the West are nematodes, a parasite also known as eelworms and gallworms. Their effect, which Is usually manifest first on the roots, is commonly called root knot, because of the knotlike en- largements they produce. Nematodes occur widely in soils where the win ter climate is so mild that the ground rarely freezes more than a few Inches deep, or does not freeze at all. Straw berries should not be planted In soli known to be Infested with nematodes, and plants should not be used which have been grown In Infested nreas.

Farmers wishing to set out vine yards will profit by making grape cut- tings and getting them ready for spring planting, according to horticul- turists at the Ohio experiment station. A number of cuttings may be made from one vine, and after one year of cultivation in a small nursery lot the young vines are ready for planting. Cuttings should be taken from new wood, each cutting having two to three buds upon it The cuttings are from 8 to 12 inches long, the bottom being trimmed close to the first bud, while the top of the cutting has 2 or 3 Inches of wood above the top bud. These are tied in bundles and placed In damp sand In the cellar or buried out of doors and covered to prevent Injury from severe freezing. In the spring the cuttings are set In rows 3 feet apart and 4 Inches In the row. Only the upper bud Is al- lowed to extend above the ground, so goat the other buds will develop roots UEEN ESTHER CHAPTER No. 101, O. E.
