planting plants have set fairly good and have grod top answer we assume that the strawberry patch is now standing having been successfully planted last summer in regard to the matter of j applying

manure with two or- three bags per acre of such a fertilizer as 1810 working this into the soil along the rows where the strawberries arc to be planted since this was not done in your case there is good reason to believe that your patch would bene fit from scattering this fertilizer on the row where strawberries are planted as soon as the strawberries are worked early in tnc spring work ing this into the ground failing this the application of nitrogen carriers such as nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia at the rate of 100150 lbs per acre in the same lj i way should give good results in applying these carriers of nitrogen be especially careful not to scatter it know by on fhe crop while there is dew on the plants or immediately after rain there is a tendency for it to stick to the leaves and burn them if appli ed to the crop when it is dry this is prevented question i b fertilizer companies guarantee a certain brand of fertilizer as 1 per cent water soluble nitrogen 2 per cent

in plant growth if the fertilizer contains 2 per cent total nitrogen and 1 par cent water soluble nitrogen the re maining 1 per cent of nitrogen is probably of organic source that must await bacterial action in order that it he readily available or it may be nitrogen in the form not taken up in large quantities by the growing crop which must be also await bacterial action to change father shocked
