Mohler of Lancaster Co., Penna., has reason for satisfaction in his fine berry patch, so vigor- ous that it almost looks like a hay field.

They were over 18" high as will be seen in photo. Berries very large and they developed and ripened to the very last one. The patch has been mulched and watered one time. The highest price received was 50c per quart and when nice berries were selling 3 quarts for 25c in the nearby city, I was offered 17c per quart for my second grade at the- property. I think this is quite a good record for Allen ;— Mr. David G. Mohler. More Opportunities Many farmers have grown strawberries for a number of years and have learned for themselves that they are one of the best money crops to be grown. There are many cases where a crop of straw- berries would fit in nicely under special conditions. Part time jobs may be profitably rounded out by growing a small acreage of strawberries. Where age or poor health prevents full time work it might be possible to grow this crop to advantage as most of the work is light and pleasant. As a project of their own where parents want to keep the boys or girls on the farm, strawberries fit in nicely. The work is light, interesting, and usually quite profitable. This should appeal to the youngsters. Strawberries can be grown to advantage where it is desirable to make the most profitable use of a small field of fertile, high priced land. Very little capital and very small amounts of land are necessary to start a nice business. Any good garden soil will grow nice crops of berries. Surplus Berries Easily Sold Essex Co., N. J.
