As to cultivating. If you must cultivate keep away 
from the roots and mulch over the roots to keep weeds 
down. I held my planting back doing good harrowing, 
for the roots are just under the surface. 
Then I planted to soy beans to build the soil. Blueberry 
growers tell me cover crops are good but under large plants 
soy beans won't take the shade but oats will. 
In low ground no mulch is needed, in semi-swamp throw 
a row up with a plow and plant on top. The roots will go 
down and find the water they need. 
Diseases: Yes, like every thing else where the material- 
istic hand of science touches, soil ‘‘debauchery”’ sets in 
from over pressure—for quick production by chemical 
fertilizing,—killing soil bacteria—burning out the humus 
with cultivation—then disease. 
Stunt disease seems to be the big problem today. We 
get our plants from a certified nursery in a stunt free area, 
so you need have no worries. Try them!! 
Shipments out of the beetle zone must be free of soil’ 
therefore, we suggest you puddle well in planting to get 
the soil well placed among the fiberous roots.
