4 THE EAGLE, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1953 VERNONIA. ■ D ATTN ft TUr VHDMBY DON COIN AHUUHD 111L lAnni County It seems as if quite a number of Columbia county folks are con sidering blueberries as a possible commercial crop. Blueberries may offer some possibilities in that way, as they do well here and picking time would not conflct greatly with any other seasonal work.

George Poysky, Clatskanie, has an acre and a half of mixed vari ne» put out this spring and says that they will probably put in more. Although we didn’t go into the field, it looks good from the roadside. Roy Engbretson, who lives near Poysky, and has a small planting of blueberries that is older, told us that they really didn't do well until they had been mulched. Like most growers, Roy used sawdust for his mulch. The mulch helps to keep down weeds, hold mois ture and protect the roots of the blueberries which are close to the surfac?. In fact, a year or so after mulching some of the roots hardly can be found in the sawdust. When mulching most any crop, it is important to add nitro gen to prevent the sawdust from tying up soil nitrogen as it breaks down. One hundred pounds of actual nitrogen per acre inch of sawdust applied is needed the first year, fifty pounds the second and twenty-five the third year This will supply nitrogen only for the sawdust, so extra needs to be applied for plant growth. Even, tually the nitrogen will be return ed to the soil as the sawdust de ORE. walrod Extension Agent Plan Now for Fair Suggested Portland People Gather For Festivities on 4th No satisfactory control has been Now that the Columbia county worked out for the corn seed | fair is l?ss than a month away, it maggot, although if it's presence is important that anyone planning is anticipated one of the new soil insecticides might have some ef- to exhibit livestock make ar feet.
