J.H.CLABAUGH, Age INSTITUTE PAPERS Growing Chillis Peppers—Alfan Knapp I have been asked to prepare a paper on the "Growing of Chillis." Now, I do not expect you all will agree with what I have to say, but nevertheless it is my experience and it has been very profitable to me. After I have said my little piece I hope you will all take an active part in the discussion which is to follow this reading. I am expecting to learn many new points on the growing and marketing of this crop from you people, so please do not disappoint me. If a man wants fair returns from any business he must put his mind, and, in fact, his whole self into that business. Even at times when he does exert himself a great deal and does good honest work, he then quite often fails to get the returns expected. But I am ready to say that if the following rules are carried out precisely as I give them, nine times in ten you will have a paying crop of chillis. There are several varieties of chillis but only two are grown commercially in California. One of these, a very dark, thick-meated, cone-shaped chilli, growing from 4 to 6 inches long, usually known as the Mexican chilli, are not grown very extensively, but is slowly gaining ground; while the long red, having pods from 6 to 10 inches long, are the best known. Chillis are most successfully grown on deep rich sandy loam, or sediment soil, which will not bake very rapidly. Chillis should be set in damp soil and if land should easily bake, you will see the land become hard and will dry out more readily about the young plant. Conditions will thus be such that all or a greater part of the These people planted their possibly selected, in the first lost it. Then poor seed is the time. And what is the r plant early and out of door wind and weather has access plants, the chillis will die and nearly all cases. What is the planting early? March 10th to 15th is a good sow seed unless one has a Wet the soil thoroughly before ing plants to field, as roots are ed less. They should have 5 days before removing. To prepare a field for chillis be ploughed deeply. Then cultivation is all that is necessary when danger of frost The chilli plant is very cold. May 1st is a good planting. Mark fields off in feet apart and set plants 2½ feet in rows. Should the weather and irrigation necessary plow beside each mark and run these furrows before and after, and if weather be very hot three irrigations may be needed start plants. Always allow after irrigating before plants unless soil is very sandy. This may commence sooner. When through with furrow back in its old bed and culti and you will have it level and Keep soil in good growing always. When plants are inches high to a ridger, with space open behind, and strad row, thus drawing the earth side of plant and giving it Water may be run down these this time. As plants grow may wider with a crowder run in each row. This ridge will keep from breaking down so read Chillis are most successfully grown on deep rich sandy loam, or sediment soil, which will not bake very rapidly. Chillis should be set in damp soil and if land should easily bake, you will see the land become hard and will dry out more readily about the young plant. Conditions will thus be such that growth will be very slow. It has been proven many times that to rotate crops farming would be more profitable. Looking at it from this standpoint it is not wise to grow more than two crops on even the best of soils without fertilizing very liberally. I have never tried commercial fertilizers but have plowed under cover crops and found them very profitable. The selecting of seed is a very important factor in growing a good crop of chillis. First, select your plant, a low, bushy vine, full of pods of medium length, such as I have here. A tall bush will not produce as many pods and is more liable to be broken by strong winds when loaded with fruit. Besides the end of the pods from a low plant will rest on the ground and in that position they will prop up the branches, providing you will watch your business closely and keep crowding a little earth to the row at each cultivation so as to form a ridge, leaving a furrow between every row ready for irrigation. There is another chilli, it being an extra long pod ranging from 10 to 14 inches. The plant is of a good shape, but it will not produce as many pods, nor will a string of these long pods weigh as much, as a string of the variety I have here, when each is cured and ready for the market. When green they are thick and heavy but after they have gone through the drying process they are thin and very light. Another feature about these is that they contain very little seed. Just open a pod and find out. When your seed pods are gathered have them put on a string and hung up to dry against the south end of a building. Do not put them into the evaporator when hotter than 110 to 115 deg. They may stand more heat but don't lay temptation in the way of the seed, for if you tempt it too much only 50 per cent may respond to your wishes, and the other half may keep you guessing a work. Back in its old bed and cultivated and you will have it level all always. When plants are high to a ridger, with space open behind, and straight row, thus drawing the earth side of plant and giving it water may be run down these this time. As plants grow ma wider with a crowder run in each row. This ridge will keep from breaking down so readily laden with fruit, and when fruiting the ground it will not decay so because ridge will be dry. Make your first ridging too hard do not do the work too late; if first setting will be greatly injurious pushing the earth against the thus leaving no room for it and many pods will be curly and by bugs. From September 1 to October fruit will begin to ripen, the ripening depending upon the care of the crop. In sandy fruit will ripen quicker than sediment. If you allow the want for moisture very much the ripen faster. It looks good to s ripen but keep them green as possible. Some growers have crops half harvested before mence, but in the round-up I am ahead. The crop should be picked setting ripens; go over the field or four times. A pod should be the vine until of a dark red lost its hardness, it being so pliable. Have crop gathered in baskets. I prefer to have them ed in boxes rather than sacks, are less liable to be bruised, bruised pod is liable to decay dried at once. If chillis are dried on strings have them durn a table or on the ground, as you Allow 24 to 48 hours for stems after gathering before they are the string. This work is done ning a twine through the stem chilli, the twine to be 10¼ to 11¾ same may be hung on a scaffold or put into especially made ectors. Some growers report fast on drying their crop on trays of on twine. Now that the product is dried that remains to do is to prepare the market, and market it. But are important points.

Another feature about these is that they contain very little seed. Just open a pod and find out. When your seed pods are gathered have them put on a string and hung up to dry against the south end of a building. Do not put them into the evaporator when hotter than 110 to 115 deg. They may stand more heat but don't lay temptation in the way of the seed, for if you tempt it too much only 50 per cent may respond to your wishes, and the other half may keep you guessing a week longer than those dried in the sun; neither will it make so strong a plant. The seed is important; watch it closely. The seed bed is also important and a peculiar thing to handle. Much havoc has been wrought among the young plants this season. Why? Who knows the reason? Some say a bug is eating the plant. Others say a worm lays them low. But I think it is too much moisture; and it would take a good deal to convince me that I am wrong. The plant simply lies down dies. In selecting your seedbed take a new location every year. My idea of a bed is this: Select a location where good drainage may be had. Sundy soil is best, but not so poor that it contains no plant food to nourish the young plant. Plow and level the plot, harrowing or raking with a hand rake as only a small piece of land is used; sow seed in rows 3 inches apart, covering one-quarter of a inch. On this spread one-quarter inch with sand. Start your seed beside a large tree and you will have fair success. The tree will drain your land. When the young plants begin to die, take a trowel and dig out the affected spots, and throw them away. The plants should have 5 or 6 leaves on before transplanting commences. A number of people planted early this season, as many do every year, and nearly every one lost Berry Culture—D. Gervais As growing strawberries for and market is almost a new in-around Anaheim, I will try plain for the information of farmers the usual methods follow should be followed, if one desire make a success of the berry business. The failures in strawberry growers are almost without number, once we can understand some them I think we stand a chance for success. The chief causes of discountment and failure will be found in poor plants and greater part of their plants. People planted their best seed, selected, in the first bed and then poor seed is taken next and what is the result? To early and out of doors, where and weather has access to the chillis will die and do so in cases. What is the use of nearly? 10th to 15th is a good time to plant unless one has a hothouse. Soil thoroughly before removal to field, as roots are damaged. They should have 5 to 6 leaves moving. There are a field for chillis it should need deeply. Then shallow is all that is necessary uning time, which may come danger of frost is passed. Plant is very sensitive to my 1st is a good time for Mark fields off in rows 4½ and set plants 2½ feet apart. Should the weather be dryation necessary plow a furrow with mark and run water in rows before and after plant-weather be very hot two orations may be necessary to plants. Always allow 24 hours eating before plants are set, this very sandy. Then work once sooner. Through with furrows, plow old bed and cultivate land will have it level as before. In good growing condition When plants are 12 to 15 in to a ridger, with plenty of behind, and straddle each drawing the earth to each plant and giving it support. Be run down these rows at As plants grow make ridge a crowder run in between This ridge will keep plants down so readily when ties; second, poor soil, and third, deep cultivation. By poor plants, I mean plants that have become exhausted by improper methods of propagation. It has been and is now the almost universal practice to allow newly set plantations to bear without any restrictions all the fruit possible, and then to make plants at will. This is a great mistake and one of the most common. If young plants, which have been allowed to bear fruit and then a crop of runners, do not bear big berries or many of them the following season, it is not to be wondered at. Plants have the same passions for breeding as animals do, and unless restrained will fruit themselves into impotency. It is exhaustion, pure and simple. It is reasonable to suppose that plants propagated by these methods, become weaker in their fruit bearing organism every year until we hear they are 'run out.' To begin with, one should set out only the strongest plants, from mother plants which have never been allowed to exhaust themselves by excessive fruiting. It is a well-known fact that we cannot produce fruit and strong plants successfully on the same plantation. To get big berries and lots of them, all runners as well as fruit buds should be pinched off the first year. This will throw all the strength of the young plants into building up numerous fruit crowns for the following season's crop, and they will then repay with interest for the extra trouble will have it level as before. In good growing condition When plants are 12 to 15 in to a ridger, with plenty of behind, and straddle each drawing the earth to each plant and giving it support. It be run down these rows at As plants grow make ridge a crowder run in between This ridge will keep plants lying down so readily when fruit, and when fruit strikes it will not decay so readily Ridge will be dry. Do not first ridging too high, and the work too late; if so, the soil will be greatly injured, by the earth against the fruit, no room for it to grow, roots will be curly and eaten September 1 to October 1 the begin to ripen, the time of spending upon the soil and the crop. In sandy soil the open quicker than in deep If you allow the crop to moisture very much they will. It looks good to see them keep them green as long as some growers have their harvested before I come in the round-up I know I should be picked as each bus; go over the field three times. A pod should be left on until of a dark red and has odiness, it being somewhat have crop gathered in large prefer to have them haul rather than sacks, as they able to be bruised, and a is liable to decay unless once. If chillis are to be things have them dumped on the ground, as you prefer. 48 hours for stems to wilt before they are put on This work is done by running through the stem of each vine to be 10½ to 11 feet and hung on a scaffold to dry especially made evaporators report favorably their crop on trays instead The product is dried all to do is to prepare it for market it. But these points. Before sacking known fact that we cannot produce fruit and strong plants successfully on the same plantation. To get big berries and lots of them, all runners as well as fruit buds should be pinched off the first year. This will throw all the strength of the young plants into building up numerous fruit crowns for the following season's crop, and they will then repay with interest for the extra trouble and expense of the first season. In setting out a propagating bed the plants should be set not less than 2½ or 3 feet apart each way; this will keep them from crowding and give them room to make large stocky plants with long clean roots. In setting out a bed for fruit various methods are followed, the most common around Anaheim being to set so as to allow cultivation with a horse; but where land is high-priced and water expensive, I think setting the rows about 20 inches apart and cultivating by hand is the most economical, because giving greater returns from a smaller piece of ground. The best soil is a rich sandy loam. Cultivation should be as frequent as possible and often enough to prevent ground from becoming too hard. I believe deep cultivation injurious to the strawberry because if the roots are broken the plants immediately start to repair the damage by growing new roots and a corresponding growth of foliage. If the rows are far apart and the horse used in cultivation, it may do to cultivate deeply if care is used not to go too deep next to the plants; but I think that land and water and fertilizers are too costly here to spread over the land to admit of such cultivation. My idea of strawberry growing here is to plant close, in rich soil, cultivate lightly, keep out all weeds and in the fruiting season never allow the plants to suffer for water. Experience alone can determine just how often the water should be used; scarcely any two soils require This work is done by run-through the stem of each vine to be 10½ to 11 feet and hung on a scaffold to dry especially made evaporators growers report favorably their crop on trays instead. The product is dried all up to do is to prepare it for market it. But these hot points. Before sacking any spoiled pod is taken out; my sack in such a manner not ashamed to put your hand; and do more than that: the goods. And if it happens as you represent it, take it right with the buyer intends to stay in any must deal fair and square crowded out. I say this chillis put on the market frozen oranges or a poor nuts. In short, it hurts Culture—D. Gervais Growing strawberries for home is almost a new industry inheim, I will try to ex- e information of beginn-al methods followed, or allowed, if one desires to success of the berry busi- ness in strawberry growing without number, and if I understand some of think we stand a better success. Causes of discourage-failure will be found, I poor plants and varie- spread over the land to admit of such cultivation. My idea of strawberry growing here is to plant close, in rich soil, cultivate lightly, keep out all weeds and in the fruiting season never allow the plants to suffer for water. Experience alone can determine just how often the water should be used; scarcely any two soils require the same. With most growers the variety is an important factor. Some varieties succeed better in some localities than in others under the same methods of cultivation, and one can only tell by experience which is best to plant on their own particular soil. It is well in starting to try several varieties and from among these to keep the best. At present in this vicinity the Brandywine is giving the best satisfaction, principally on account of its firmness and good keeping qualities. The Arizona Everbearing is becoming quite popular for home market, but is too soft for distance shipping. The Excelsior is an early berry, but is inclined to be small after the first picking and is too sour for most people, its principle value being in maturing when the market is bare of other fruit, thus getting the high prices.
