$2,000 An Acre From Strawberries 
H A.V'ING experimented with everbearing straw¬ 
berries for years, 1 have an Important story to 
tell of a remarkable now variety. 
In 1916 I secured two plants of a new everbear¬ 
ing strawberry from a breeder. The plants arrived 
early In March and I stored them In the cellar until 
they could be planted. The following spring I had 
twenty-three plants. 
In 1917 I replanted about twenty-flve plants and 
let them fruit. The berries w’ere large, of go:>d 
flavor and bore heavily. 
In the spring of 1918 all the plants wers dug 
and replanted, giving me a plot of two hundred 
and fifty. That was a coltl, wet season, but tho 
plants dhl well and we picked ninety-one quarts and 
propagated a lot of plants for setting the following 
spring. 
The entire bed was dug In the spring of 191f, 
producing four thousand plants. All the blossoms 
up to July Ist were picked off to give the plants a 
good strong root growth. After that time the plants 
were permitted to flower. On July 16th we picked 
the first fruit, and the last on November 24th, 
a total of one thousand and forty-four quarts. 
The plants were multiplied until the spring of 
1920 we set out seventeen thousand, set one foot 
apart. In rows thirty Inches apart, covering one 
acre. All the planting was done with a line to get 
the rows perfectly straight for ease in cultivating. 
Tho new strawberry was named the Champion 
Qverbearlng. It It self pollenlzing. Our picking 
season In 1920 started on July 19. We picked from 
that one-acre plot three hundred and fifty-one 
sixteen-quart cases, a total of five thousand six 
hundred and tw’enty-three quarts, and all from 
plants sot that year In April. This was a record 
for the Stale of Michigan, without Irrigation. 
The berries sold at 36. 40, 46 and 60 cents a 
quart, mostly to motorists from Chicago, as I am 
on a main, atone road. 
The Champion Is a prolific bearer. The berries 
are large, round, dark red and of fine flavor. It 
is a good plant maker and a sure cropper.—Edward 
I.. Lubke, In “Cash Crops.”
