WINGO Gibson County Agent TRENTON, Dec. 13. Ir-vin Fly of Sitka is one of the strawberry growers who has his strawberry mulch material in the field and is ready to mulch his berries at the proper time. The bales of straw have been broken, which allows objctionable seed to sprout, thus eliminating their growth in the strawberry field. J.

J. Bird, assistant horticulturist with the Extension Service, has the following to say about strawberry mulching: "We are headed for a short strawberry crop and high prices in 1949. Plant protection will pay well." For best results mulching should be done about December 15 to protect plants from cold injury, and to keep berries clean. Mulch should be applied on top of the row but should not smother plants. Excess should be raked off into middles before growth starts in spring.

Mulch material should be free from weed seeds. Weed seed is baled straw is best handled by permitting sprouting in broken bales 1 to 2 months before mulching. Properly handled sericea is very desirable and deserves consideration for this purpose in the future. Mulch needed per acre about 2 tons."
