I Are you planting a field I to The .iXrawberries this spring’ -Cohsmbia county horticulture «cxnmitU'v in a recent meeting recommend d that land being planted to strawberries should .nave had a special cover crop to i.uiM up the soil before plantings are made. The committee felt that cover ..«Topping ha, become a matter of «■ecesaity if a field is going to give a salt, factory yield During the pas’ L w years much of our new acreage has been planted on newly clea. d land or land that tea been < opp d only a few -van. On this land yields may tor satisfactory without cover cropping . ;owever, after it has «wen used for one planting of strawbern s with a crop or two uf hay or grain in rotation the ..«id will i„ d a cover crop be fore strawberries are again plant ed. In speaking of cov:r crops the commiitue «- m 1 not mean a small acvummula .on of we as and vo lunteer cr«.p that might be plow ed in Ms.,1 or April. They re- *erred to a mature cover crop and suggest d a mixture of vetch ar peas with a grain. They define a mature ■ er crop as one that jto fall planted and allowed to use the cvii.piete growing season tnU> June. They recommend in at Uu- i .p be turned down •hrn tiie fnst ppds on the vetch or peas tx .n to fill out. This a ill pceveol volunteering of these .Top seen whim can become a ww d pest in strawberries if they are aliow u ur mature nard seeds. The committee predicted that a. smaller acreage of strawberries wifi be set out this spring than was plant-d last spring Ray An- <her. Canaan, is chairman of this <voanittee.
