Badly infested (it-Ids should be ploughed deeply in the tall and then cultivated and cross-cultivated with a broad-shared cultivator lu order to break up and weaken the under root- stocks. In the spring this cultivation should be repeated frequently enough to prevent the plant making any growth above grouud until It is time to put in a hoed crop, which must be kept thoroughly oleau in order to be effective. A well-cared for corn cro|i planted in Kill.- HO that U can be cultivated both ways has been found to give excellent results.

(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) As the small fruits are to remain in (he garden for a longer period of time than the vegetable crops It IB better, as a matter of convenience, lo place them on one Bide of the gar- den where they will be least inter-- fered with and where they will not hinder the ploughing for the other crops. The best time lo set out nearly all kinds of fruit, in this province, is early in May, the date depending up- on the soil and weatber conditions. Currants and gooseberries are excep- tions to this rule, it being generally best tx> plant them in September, as I hey begin growth very early in spring. Currants. Red and black currants are native and grow over a wide range of terri- tory in Canada. They are planted four lo six feet apart, as the bushes take up considerable space after three or four years. ' Plant in the autumn. The currant roolB are near the surface, hence if the soil in hot and. dry the crop will .suffer. A rich, well-drained, clay loam is best, al- though they do well in most soils. A good dressing of manure before planting, well worked into the. soil, will make conditions better. There is little danger of giving the currant loo much fertilizer. Keep from six lo eight main branches each season and n few others cominK on to lake their places. A Kood nils is not to have any branches fiiore than three years of age, as younger wood gives strong- er growth and better fruit. In good soil the bushes should bear from six 10 ten crops before removal and be- fore new ones take their place. In a favorable reason, when in full bear- ing, they should yield from four to ten pounds per buh. Knspbo tries. Red raspberries are generally planted in rows six feet apart and two feet In the row. The numergui sdioois or suckers which spring up frt 111 the roots soon muke the space between the rows narrow, so with row.H a few, feet apart a considerable number o;' '.-a'le.s must be cut out to permit of cultivation. These suckers may be dug and set out in now rows. A cool, loamy soil, well drained, yet capable of holding much moisture, is best. As moisture is a very Important factor in producing a good crop, and is often lacking during the fruiting period, frequent shallow cultivations should be given to keep the soil in moist condition and aUo keep down the weeds. After a cane boars fruit it is of no more use, and so may be cut cut immediately. Of HIP other canes, lake out the weak ones and leave about six good canes to bear (he fruit f nr the next season. Cut them buck late in llie fall after growth ceases, or eeily in the spring, to two or two iin;l a half feet in height. The best vatieiies are Culhbert and Herbi-rt. .strawberries. The strawberry is u very hardy plant and will grow on a variety of MO'ls. A sandy loam produces the ear- Hist croi , while a clay loam produce* (he largest crop and a better (imtlity bcvi v Probably the bent system of I'latiiiiiK in 'he garden is to set the I.I.-MI 18 inches apart in the row*, which should be ffom 3-4 feet apart, and allow the runners lo extend In all directions to form a mailed row. This method will give the greatest (luuntity of berries; while, it they were planted closer and all the run- ners cut off. a larger plant and larger berries could be produced, but would luke considerable time and care. Spring planting in \\.\\ gives the best results. Strawberries will not thrive where water stands on the surfiue iti either summer or winter. It may be possible lo obtain plants from a plantation n oar-by; if not, ordor e;irly from a reliable, nurseryimm. When digging lake the healthiest runniT pl.ni and see that all i.n .< leaves and flower buds art- removed before planting. More than one -variety should be planted, because many var- ieties lire imperfect, that is, contain pistil parts only, while some, when MI, III-MI and stamens are In one flower, arc perfect. The Imperfect viirii'lirs must have pollen from the perfect flower in order lo set fruit. Oeneriilly llie best results are. obtain- ed where just one crop is taken; that IB, at the end of the second season from plaining, plough them under, and reset a new lot each year. Most plantations are allowed to run longer three or four seasons. In the fall, after the plants have frozen, they should bo covered with straw, hay, or, what is sllll be Uer. spruce or flr boughs'. Tms'preYohls alternate fr'eex- iug .unl thawing. In the spring, after the danger from frost is past, the hay ur straw Is drawn Tiff llie plants and placed between the rows lo serve s n mulch to conserve moisture, keep the i. i'n i. i clean and make picking easier.
