This was for the first year. It is likely, however, that part of this increase was due to better care in other ways as well as more faithful hoeing and cultivating. In the South, where mulching is not needed for winter protection, cultivation in the spring before the mulch is applied has been recommended by some. It is important to re- member that two cultivations made in time are much more helpful and much less work than one made after grass and weeds get bad. Training We believe the well spaced matted row is the most desirable system for getting the biggest crops of the best berries. From four to six plants per square foot are ample for fine results and we believe where they can be made early and strong plants developed that three or four plants per square foot would be even better. We want to point out here that we do not believe the average grower can afford to be too fussy about spacing the plants any particular distance. We do be- lieve, however, that the grower (or his help that does most of the actual hoeing) should realize that from four to six early set runner plants per square foot of row is the optimum number and that any excess plants made are no better than weeds and just as harmful. If this is ~ kept in mind and the excess ruthlessly taken out, as weeds would be, a great deal can be accom- plished with ve
