A Newcomer Uses Good Judgment 
Mr. E. W. Moore, of Midway City, whose home is pictured above, 
came to California from Nebraska some three years ago. He was neither 
situated so that he had to go to work for wages nor did he want to retire, 
and being very conservative, he did not want to invest much in anything 
until he had tried it out, so he built this home and started with chickens 
and in 1929 bought 120 Youngberry plants from us. From this little patch 
of Youngberries, only one-eighth of an acre, he sold $245.00 in 1930. 
By the season of 1931 he had increased his patch considerably and his 
returns were so good that he has now sold most of his chickens and has 
leased some land nearby and has gone into berries and Cherry rhubarb as 
a full time business. Mr. Moore says that he has found the rhubarb 
nearly as profitable as the berries and that it occupies his time and brings 
in an income in the winter when he has little to do in the berries.

Pour Acres Klondyke Strawberries—Yield $7,000.00, Season 1931 
□ 
□ 
This four acres of very sandy land was planted to eastern grown ~ 
Klondyke Strawberry plants in February, 1930. Rows were spaced three = 
feet apart and the plants set four feet apart in the rows. In June large □ 
furrows were run between the rows thus forming the ridges and the 
runners were rooted along the edges of these ridges. In December one E 
ton of fish meal was used to the acre. In February, 1931, Mr. Nishi = 
started picking berries and he finished in July. The yield for the four E 
acres was 73,000 baskets which sold for $7,000.00. — 
While this is much better than average returns for this district, we O 
could cite a number of other careful growers who did just as well.
