«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.
With this type of brooding, it
is not necessary to use a brooder
The chicks are always in sight
for easy checking and they have
freedom of movement for getting
feed and water.
Although the initial cost is low,
the cost of operating is higher
than most systems of brooding. It
has also been found that the lit
ter isn’t kept as dry as many
types of brooders.

If ytr/ tr II hr brooding some
hu-ks this pring, you may wish
to cocwxl-r infrared bulbs or heat
arrrps for h at.
One 250 watt
nfrarej b 'b will provide suf-
Trcjent h at for about 75 chicks,
which is a number often raised
for meat and eggs on a farm.
This system can also be used for
arger numb rs of chicks.
