THE STRAWBERRY MAY 1907 



if I find many, I shall have the land shov- 

 eled over one foot deep and each shovel- 

 ful spread back on the surface so all the 

 grubs can be picked up and given to the 

 hens. 



Perhaps you will say it won't pay. 

 This extra labor will pulverize the soil 

 and I shall feel sure there will not be 

 many grubs left in it to aggravate me later 

 by eating the plant roots. 



Now the question with me is, How 

 soon do the grubs come up in reach of 

 the plow.? Where we have been plowing 

 the land April 9 we did not find any. 

 The common angleworms were seen as 

 plentifully as in summer. If we must use 

 this land for strawberries when we take 

 into consideration the destruction that 

 these grubs make where they are plentiful 

 it will pay to spend lots of time to get 

 them out of it before setting the plants in 

 it, for they can be worked out better be- 

 fore setting the plants than after. 



Setting the plants on land where the 

 grubs are plentiful not only means a great 

 loss but a great aggravation and disap- 

 pointment and a setback of a whole year. 



Weston, Mass. 



T^HERE are 60,000 acres devoted to 

 A grapes in New York. The Chau- 

 tauqua region leads with 30,000 acres, 

 mostly Concord. The Keuka region 

 ranks second with 13,000 acres, growing 

 Concord, Catawba and Delaware. The 

 Hudson region third with 10,000 acres 

 growing mostly fine table varieties. Suc- 

 cessful grape growing began in the Chau- 

 tauqua region with the introduction of 

 Isabella and Catawba in 1825. In 1859 

 the Concord was introduced by Lincoln 

 Fay and was so successfully grown that 

 the industry rapidly increased. There are 

 25,000,000 vines in the nurseries of Chau- 

 tauqua county. 



IN this day of scarce help and high wages, 

 ' there is no question in which the farmer is 

 more concerned than in the labor problem. 

 How to get the greatest results at the least cost 

 from hired help is interestingly shown and ac- 

 tually demonstrated in figures, in a 48-page 

 book, published by the American Fork & Hoe 

 Co., Cleveland, Ohio. It will pay our readers 

 to write for this book, which is free to those 

 who mention this paper.
