The KEY TO STRAWBERRY PROFITS 
Any of the legumes—clover, cow-peas, soy 
beans, velvet beans, vetch or alfalfa, are ideal 
crops for rotation because they add great 
quantities of humus and nitrogen to the soil. 
Vegetables or farm crops also may be used to 
advantage as rotation crops. 

Going Into Business 
Xelow is one of the best methods now used 
for marketing Strawberries if you live on a 
main travelled road. A neat little roadstand 
such as this will attract many customers right 
to your door in this day of automobiles, and 
vou will get prices for your berries often 
equal to or greater than the store prices. 
Thus you will not be sharing anything with 
the grocer. 
But remember that your roadside stand 
must be neat and orderly. If you are handy 
with tools yourself, you yourself can build it, 
but do not, in any event put up a slip-shod 
affair made of old left-over lumber and slop- 
pily constructed. A little paint for painting 
your roadside stand and reasonably good 
lumber and workmanship used will pay amaz- 
ing dividends. 


People naturally expect to find fine, high quality 
fruit at a stand which is neat, orderly, and well-kept. 
Keep yours clean, and well painted, and your trade 
will double. 
It is even advisable to landscape the 
erounds around your stand with shrubs and 
flowers, and by all means keep these neat and 
orderly—take just as much care of them as 
you do your Strawberries because they are a 
part of your advertising scheme which at- 
tracts customers to your door, and after all, 
of what use is a fine crop of Strawberries if 
nobody buys them. People will expect to find 
fine, high quality fruit in a stand which is 
neat, orderly, well kept, and possibly land- 
scaped a little, and they will stop and buy 
at good prices to the doubling of your profits. 
Marketing 
Your selling plan should be governed by 
local conditions. If you have a large acreage, 
it is advisable to sell to erocers, anil if your 
acreage is small and you can devote the time, 
it is more profitable to sell direct to the con- 
sumer. In either case, you should adopt a 
tradename for your berries and label your 
crates and boxes so that the public will be-
