Big Cash Prizes 
The big cash prizes which we offer win- 
ners in Kellogg's Strawberry Club, together with 
the big cash profit they are sure to make from 
the berries, make it to the interest of every boy 
and girl to join this club at once. The Kellcgg 
Strawberry Club was organized in 1916 for the 
sole purpose of interesting boys and girls in the 
healthful, delightful and profitable business of 
strawberry growing, a business which gives bigger 
aiid quicker profits than anything else they can do. 
The success of the boys and girls who are 
members of this club, and the interest and enthusi- 
asm shown is best expressed in their own words, 
told in their own way, in the letters we give here: 
Middletown, Pa., July 17, 1917. 
Gentlemen: — I certainly had a fine crop of 
berries this year, but on account of sickness I was 
unable to keep a record of the number of quarts 
picked. Only kept a record of the money which I 
received for the berries, which was .S402.68. 
Isaac Dimler. 
Flora, 111., July 2, 1917. 
Gentlemen: — I am well pleased with my Kel- 
logg strawberry plants. They yielded forty cases 
of strawberries this year. Ika E. Douglas. 
Huntley, III., August 7, 1917. 
Gentlemen: — I like strawberry growing very 
much. Am going to try to beat my father's record 
next year. He sold 10,176 quarts of berries from 
one acre of Kellogg's Thoroughbreds this year. 
My father and I are planning to visit the Kellogg 
Farms some time this fall. 
Harley Mackeben. 
Maysville, Mo., July 9, 1917. 
Gentlemen: — My strawberry plants have just 
finished fruiting and I certainly had some fine 
berries which sold for S3.60 per crate. 
Five years ago, I bought five acres of land at 
$200.00 per acre and had only SIOO.OO to pay down 
on it. Although I was a novice at strawberry 
growing when I bought this land, I kept up my 
payments right along, and this year my straw- 
berries made the last payment. So, you see, I 
have a warm .spot in my heart for Kellogg Pedigree 
plants. I expect to send you another order for 
plants next spring. J. S. SissoN. 
A Wonderful Record Made by a Beginner 
In 1916, we offered a cash prize of $5.00 in gold 
to the member of the Boy's Corn Contest of Pella, 
Iowa, who grew the most berries from 100 Kellogg 
Pedigree plants, during that season. 
This prize was won by (ierard Roorda of Taintor, 
Iowa, who picked 213 quarts of berries in 1916 
from 100 Kellogg Pedigree ()lants. 
These plants were grown in hills and each plant 
occupied only one square foot of ground. This is 
at the rate of 92,782 quarts per acre, and assuming 
that they were sold at only 10 cents per quart, 
these 100 plants produced $21.30 worth of berries, 
which is equivalent to $9,278.00 per acre.

members of Kellogg's Strawberry Club for 1918
