-4 THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1951 THE EAGLE, ABOUND THE FARM T1U« spring several strawberry gi— crs brought to our attention Maae difficulties that were de- -rjaaiirc in their fields that could set toe attributed to any specific disease or insect. Haiph Clark, extension horti- cnftarist from OSC, and I visited Male of these fields. Much of Ute trouble we saw started with paar condition of roots and rseavns resulting from storage and Handling of plants. Kenneth Asburry, St. Helens, toad a field of strawberries set to ecxttfied plants last year in which Use mother plants have not made a satisfactory growth. Runner plants show up well, however, aad there is no evidence of dis ease. When dug and packed the plants used to set this field were not dormant and they did not Mid up well in storage. Herman Pelham, Rainier showed us two fields planted from the taax* plant source. In one field plants were healthy and indi- VERNONIA, ORE. County Extension Agoni cated a good yield and in the other field mother plants looked very poor but many of the run ner plants were doing very well Pelham explained the difference the way in which the plants had been handled. In the poor field they had suffered from storage and drying out. We dug some of these mother plants and in all cases the crown was in poor condition and was not putting out sufficient new roots. The blackened condition of old roots indicated their condition when planted. Pelham had realized what might happen in putting in these plants but had used them to complete a small portion of a new planting. Again at Longen Bros., Deer Island, a field was observed where mother plants were not growing satisfactorily whereas runner plants coming from these mother plants were doing very well. flutpoint ELECTRIC RANGE iriih Push Button Control Cattle Testing Requests For Fair Due July 16 All 4-H chib members planning to exhibit cattle at the Columbia county fair are reminded that requests for testing must be sub mitted to the county extension office by July 16. Testing will be done the following weeks. There will be no charge for testing for club members who get their requests submitted by that date, reports Harold Black, 4-H extension agent. AU cattle, over six months of age at fair time, must be tested before they will be allowed on the fairground.______________ Storage and handling condi tions are not alone in causing poor stands and growth of straw berry plantings. At Melvin John son’s. Warren, the stand and growth in some rows was better than in others. This difference formed a regular pattern across the field, that is some good ones and some poor ones alternating. The difference was attributed to the difference in the way the plants were set. Many times in a new straw berry planting certain plants will be doing poorly. Very often if pulled these plants will show poor root conditions usually as a result of improper planting. These observations remind us that blue tag certified plants are no guarantee of how those plants will grow. When strawberry plants are certified by Oregon State Colles'1 the certification means that the plants were given four field inspections and were found to meet certification re quirements for freedom of dis ease. Certification does not apply to method used in digging, trans porting, storing and handling of plants. These factors can all have a great influence on the way the plants perform. Folks who like the little na tive blackberry should be sure to try some of the Cascade culti vated blackberry. These ber ries are now ripe and it is a good time to get a few and try them. Flavor of the Cascade is very similar to the little native wild blackberry but is larger and much easier to grow in the home garden. Folks who have them say they would much rather grow several bushes of these than scramble through the brush after wild blackberries. More than 23 million acres of woodland are certified under the Am.rican Tree Farm System to grow trees as a farm crop.
