bearing. You can easily take care of two 

 or three acres of strawberries for the first 

 year, and still be able to work half-days 

 for some neighboring farmer. This might 

 provide you a home and your living ex- 

 penses. 1 he second yearyou would have 

 your picking to do, which would require 

 the employment of considerable labor, of 

 course; but your sales would be cash each 

 day, and this would furnish you ample 

 means to meet your daily pay-roll, be- 

 sides giving you a handsome profit. 



We have thus suggested in brief out- 

 line, a plan for you to follow to overcome 

 the difficulty you foresee because of your 

 limited capital. We repeat that we are 

 confident that if you will take hold of 

 this matter vigorously, you will find that 

 the least of your obstacles to success. 



Now in selecting a location you must 

 consider first of all, market possibilities. 

 One young Wichita Strawberry reader 

 is now earning his way through college 

 by growing strawberries. We assume 

 that that city would afFord you an excel- 

 lent market. If you have an acquaint- 

 ance there among business men, you 

 might find right there the very best op- 

 portunity one could wish for. It always 

 is best to deal with those nearest at home, 

 when it can be done. 



Try and secure land lying sufficiently 

 close to the city so that the expense of 

 hauling your fruit would be reduced to the 

 minimum and to insure your getting it in- 

 to the market in the very best of condi- 

 tions. Lease not less than five acres of 

 land, and if possible secure an option upon 

 five acres more, so that if your business 

 justifies it, you will have ample room in 

 which to grow. Ten acres of strawberries, 

 cared for and marketed in the best possi- 

 ble manner, will make a fortune for any 

 man of energy and intelligence. 



As a reader of The Strawberry, you 

 are familiar with its teachings as to soil 

 preparation, methods of setting plants 

 and cultivating them for best results, and 



how to pick and pack them to insure a 

 ready market. 



Take this matter up vigorously, talk 

 the whole situation over with some ac- 

 quaintance of yours who possesses means, 

 and who will have an interest in your 

 welfare; talk with some good real estate 

 dealer who has control of a large amount 

 of land lying adjacent to Wichita, and we 

 feel confident that before plant-setting 

 time next spring you may be in position 

 to enter upon an independent work, 

 which will insure you not only a liveli- 

 hood, but a steadily increasing annual in- 

 come. 



HERE we are, standing at the portals 

 of the New Year. How shall we 

 enter it — drooping, despondent, discour- 

 aged, or cheerful, confident, compelling.'' 

 What 1907 means to you depends upon 

 yourself. Don't try to lay your failures 



on anybody's else back. They will stick 

 like burs to your own to bear you down 

 and make your future dull, insipid, color- 

 less. Don't recognize failure; don't let 

 its soul and heart and nerve destroying 

 microbes get into your system. "In the 

 bright lexicon of youth there's no such 

 word as fail!" cried Richelieu. And mid- 

 dle life and gray old age should sound 

 the same glad note of strength and hope 

 and joy. 



WHEN straw, hay or other mater- 

 ials of that nature are not to be 

 had, leaves will make a good protection 

 for strawberry plants if poles, branches or 

 other light weight are used to keep them 

 from blowing away before the snow 

 comes. Cornstalks used with leaves will 

 answer the purpose and evergreen boughs 

 are suitable if they can be obtained.
