The picture above shows¥one of our recent Strawberry plantings—30 acres, set in, April 1946. By 
July 15, 1947, over $3,000 per acre had been realized, with another crop yet to come off this current 
year. The total returns should run between 8 and 12 tons per acre. These are all University varieties. 
Most of them are Shasta, which is a little slow in starting but continues bearing later in the fall, with a 
second and frequently a third crop of fine large berries. Often it takes only 9 berries to fill a basket. 
Another field of 40 acres planted in December 1946 had yielded sufficient returns by May 1947 to pay 
all expenses—rent, preparation of ground, cost of plants, wells, and all labor bills. We still hold the 
record of 35,000 pounds to the acre on one of our superior strains of Strawberries in 1916. For further 
information on Strawberries, contact us. 
Another field of forty-five acres just checked this date, August first, yielded over eight tons per acre 
and another good crop to come. We figure twelve tons per acre, eighteen months from planting. Ex- 
ceptionally fine berries, many over two ounces.
