'We give credit t'.. the fact that we have followed the lessons of scientific researcl), which in the last six years has done more to improve planting stock for the benefit of'the average grower thaji in the previous fifty years. Here are some of the things growers .must do if they ^^nt to lead the way in producing the best strawberry planting stocks to be had: / 1. The use of planting stocks from virus free sources. 2. Twelve to fourteen dustings to kill the aphis which is the carrier of virus organisms. Virus free stock must be kept virus free. 3. The isolation of this stock from varieties where virus free plants are not yet available and from other fields of ordinary plants in the community. 4. Provide a screen house from which constantly a basic stock of indexed virus free plants may come. 5. Heat treatment of planting stock to kill nematodes, both root knot and meadow nematodes, which have been present and weakened plant growth very much in the past. This treatment consists of complete immersion of the plant in hot water at 127 degrees Fahrenheit for two minutes. This is a dangerous procedure and is not recom- mended to the berry grower. Your plant man should do it for you. 6. Double soil fumigation at a cost of about $ per acre, to reduce or eliminate nematodes in the soil. 7. The use of abundant plant food. We use about 1500 lbs. per acre to keep them growing at their best. 8. A minor element mixture is added to the fertilizer to avoid the possibility of any weakness resulting from any
