GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

WARFIELD, ONE OF THE UNIVERSAL FAVORITES 
p"OR nearly thirty years we have grown this famous variety, and reports from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Gulf 
* of Mexico to British Columbia show that it attains hi^h results in whatever region it is grown. It is a beautiful dark red 
from_ center to circumference: it is very juicy and just tart enough to give it a fine relish, and it has the peculiar distinction of 
ranking among the first of the canners. as it retains both flavor and color no matter in what form the fruit may be preserved. 
As a shipper it has no superior and it reaches the market bearing the same bright luster even though it be shipped a great dis- 
tance. An early berry, this variety has an unusually long fruiting season, yielding generous quantities every day throughout 
a period of several weeks. Any early bisexual will fertilize its bloom. Grown both on our Three Rivers and Twin Falls farms. 
is a very small price, your one acre has produced 
for you $1,400. Let us assume that the season is 
unfavorable and that your crop, as a result, is re- 
duced one-half from these figures, you still have 
$700 from this acre, which is more than groweis 
who follow the old way make from two acres. 
But if the berry crop is lessened as a result of 
weather conditions, the price for berries natural- 
ly will be higher. 
We are estimating the yield at one quart per 
plant, but many of our customers who are follow- 
ing this intensive method of cultivation report 
from one and one-half to two quarts per plant. 
(See page headed "Quarts and Dollars.") The 
only added cost in handling an acre in this inten- 
sive way is the cost of the additional plants and 
fertilizer, which will not exceed $50.00. 
Isn't it more economical and more profitable to 
set 14,000 plants per acre and get 14,000 quarts 
of berries than it is to set 7,000 plants and get 
only 7,000 quarts? Your profits are not de- 
termined by the number of acres you set to 
strawberry plants, but they are determined by 
the number of quarts produced by each acre. 
Our Boys' Strawberry Club 
■lATE are interested in the boys everywhere be- 
*• cause we love them and because we realize 
that eventually the boys will assume the responsi- 
bilities that men are assuming today. As a rule, 
boys are very ambitious. They want to do things 
and the more encouragement they receive from 
parents and friends the greater their success. 
And boys like to be out in the open where they 
can breathe the pure air and enjoy the beauties 
of nature. It is our belief that farmer boys will 
enjoy remaining on the farm if they are en- 
couraged to grow the crops they like to grow, 
and we further believe that many city boys would
