THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1952 THE «ROUND THE FARM I BY W. G. NIBLER County Extension Agent Th» spring we have had a run < 1 calls from farmers asking «.Mnrt the poor condition of cer- strawberry plants in their fields. Most of these turned out 1© 4» root rot troubles. Some were red stele but more fabatn the usual number were cjerlr root. Black root is a rot tin»<-ri or aggravated by many cHUerini things. In one case »'r a e r b niHs had been planted •txur^jately following potatoes. it md happens that potatoes carry a. aaa< rot organism called rhizoc- UMt wh»ch also causes the black r on strawberries.

In still others, strawberries had been planted back on the same ground with only 2 or J years between. Apparently weather conditions of last summer and winter en- couraged the development of thts black root and a few fields are showing considerable injury. Other factors also encourage black root. Almost every grower knows that a poorly set straw berry plant will usually never come out of the poor start it gets. One of the main reasons is that black root attacks the handicapped roos and often it will continue to infest the roots of that plant for its entire life. As a result that plant never real ly snaps out of it and will always look poor. Also, planting stock that is improperly cared for will be sus ceptible to black root. If plants heat in the packing box 's, dry out too much while b ing planted or suffer from lack of moisture in soil after being planted, black root is liable to be encouraged. A large number of poorly set plants or the use of plants which have not been properly cared for following digging will make a field look spotted and uneven as a result of black root. Several things will help to counteract black root. First, it is always good to keep a field out of strawberries from 4 to 6 years. Avoid using alfalfa, potatoes, or cane fruits in a rotation with strawberries. Second, g t as much organic matter as possible into the soil, Cover crops, green manure crops, crop residue and barnyard ma- nure should be used to a maxi mum. Use commercial fertilizer on green manure crops to get a heavy growth. / A well managed patsure that develops a heavy sod will add large quantities of organic mat ter to a soil if left down to pasture for 3 to 5 years. Molasses at present prices is a good livestock feed. It is high in feed value an<j compares very favorably with grain. Barley would have to sell at $45 a ton to supply feed as cheaply as molasses at $30. If you will check the present prices of bar ley to that of molasses delivered in bulk you will probably be come interested in increasing the amount of molasses you feed. At pres, nt the molasses supply looks good. It is reported that the amount being used in alcohol manufacturing has been sharply reduced. Synthetic rubber pro duction. for example, has shifted to use of petroleum products rather than alcohol. Large stocks MZHXHXHXHZHXHIHIHIHXHIHr Garden Club Names Delegate of alcohol and liquor have great ly reduced use of molasses by distilleries. Cows on good irrigated ladino clover or subclover will have a fairly good ration if fed free choice molasses. Contrary to some opinions cows can and have been fed free choice molasses with no harmful laxative affect. Some farmers even report that it helps counteract the effects of lush pasture. Information on methods of self feeding molasses is avail, able through the county exten sion office. Adding extra molasses to grass silage during filling or during feeding is another method of feeding molasses.
