The KEY TO STRAWBERRY PROFITS 

OTHER SUGGESTIONS. It is advisable to 
mulch plants with straw, leaves, or coarse ma- 
nure during the winter months. In the sum- 
mer after ‘fruiting, all old fruiting canes 
should be cut out and burned. In early spring 
all new canes should be cut back to a height 
of 24 inches to induce heavy fruiting. Black 
Raspberries should be pinched back to in- 
duce strong lateral growth. 
Grapes 
SOIL PREPARATION. Prepare soil for 
Grapes as for any farm crop. Contrary to gen: 
eral belief, Grapes will thrive best on a rich 
soil, although they like a sandy loam, and 
will do well on clay or clay loam. Do not 
hesitate to use fertilizer, but never put fer- 
tilizer in hole with plants. 
PLANTING. When planting Grapes, not 
more than two buds should be left. Dig a 
hole plenty large enough to allow roots to 
spread. Usually "Grape plants come with two 
sets of roots. When planting, raise the top 
set, then place in hole and cover lower set 
with earth and tramp firmly. Then place top 
set and repeat the operation. Water well, 
keeping ground surface level. 
OTHER SUGGESTIONS. Growth should be 
restricted the first year to one stem. This will 
form the trunk. The second year allow to run 
in both directions along a wire. Grapes bear 
fruit upon wood of the current season’s 
growth and it is quite necessary to severely 
prune them each year. The usual time for 
this is February before the sap starts. If done 
too late they will BLEED and severely injure 
the plants. A mulch of stable manure is very 
beneficial to conserve moisture and feed the 
plants. If manure is not available, use any 
good commercial fertilizer. Mulch with straw.

Fruit Trees 
SOIL PREPARATION. If possible, plow or 
spade the area to be planted to fruit trees. If 
the soil is rich, no fertilizer need be used un- 
til the trees are planted. 
PLANTING. If you have only a few trees to 
set you can plant them directly from the bun- 
dle or box in which received. If a large quan- 
tity, it is best to remove them from the bun- 
dle or box and heel them in until ready to 
plant, being careful at all times that the roots 
are not exposed to the sun or wind. Next dig 
the hole large enough so that the roots will 
not be cramped or bent. When throwing out 
the soil, keep the top soil separate. The hole 
should be deep enough so that the roots and 
that portion of the trunk below the bud or 
graft is below the ground level. This point 
can be determined by the slight crook in the 
trunk. Now place the tree upright in the hole 
and throw in top soil around the roots, tam 
ing firmly with feet. When two-thirds filled, 
water thoroughly and allow to settle before 
filling in remainder of soil. Keep ground 
level. Water often the first year. 
OTHER SUGGESTIONS. After planting, a 
mulch of stable manure is especially bene- 
ficial as it will furnish food for the young 
tree and conserve moisture. After planting.
