Shuster Gem Strawberry (Xa)- long and sometimes hot and dry summers. The south- ern cow-pea is possibly the best crop to precede the Strawberry. This leaves the ground clean, mellow and in the very best condition for any crop that follows. The soil is usually prepared in slightly elevated rows or beds 3 feet broad. In making summer and early fall plantings with the view of securing a large yield the following spring, plants are set only 8 or 10 inches apart along the line of the row. The distance in the row for spring plantings ranges from 12-30 inches, depending on the tendency of varieties set to multiply runners. For heavy yields the properly matted row is best. In the ideal matted row each plant should be 5-7 inches distant from its nearest neighbor, and a space of 18-24 inches along the top of the rows should be so occupied with plants. Season, soil and treatment at the hand of the cultivator greatly modifies the degree of suc- cess in securing this ideal stand. Where irrigating facilities are to be had, the desired results may be ob- tained with certainty. In spite of the best efforts on the part of the grower, however, vai-ieties like Michel, Downing and Cloud may set too many plants during wet seasons. In such cases any runners that encroach on the spaces between rows are treated as weeds, and such places along the line of the rows as become too thickly matted should be properly thinned on the advent of cool fall weather. With spring setting, cultivation begins shortly after plantings are made. The plow, cultivator and hoe are the implements most used, and these are em
