FALL STRAWBERRIES
ARE JUST RIPE

When the grange Of Pulaski, n. Y,
held it's annual harvest home supper
the other evening. a feature OF the
spread was a course Of strawberry
shortcake. One hundred and fifty
people Toasted on homegrown straw
berries, fresh picked from the plants
OF l.. j. Farmer, Pulaski man who
has developed the wonderful fall
strawberry to an unqualified success,
The fall strawberry is no joke. Mr..
Farmer recently picked 60 quarts from
half an acre OF plants.
The fall strawberry originated with
Samuel Cooper, Cattaraugus county,
New York. who found a fall-bearing
runner. a "spore" from the old Bis
marck berry. and fostered it. He
called IL the Pan-American. Mr..
Farmer became interested and now
he has two well-defned fall bearing
varieties.
This strawberry will bear from
June till snow time. To get good re-
suits in the fall one must carefully
pinch of all blossoms and fruit stems
during the summer months. Thus the
vitality OF the plants is conserved, ana
when the time comes for the fall
crop they are prepared TO make an
extra effort to blossom and fruit. the
plants will bear a big crop in the
spring and a fair crop in the fall. lf
left alone they will bear moderately
all through the season till frost comes.
Thus the plant is in reality an
"ever-bearing'' variety. like that cul-
tivated in France. The berries, how
ever, are bigger than those of the
French plant.
as the 'ever-bearing strawberry
practical thing" says Mr.. Farmer.
1T surely is. but do not advise
slipshod man TO try it, The plants
require painstaking care. but will we'll
pay the man who gives them the prop
er attention, whether for home use or
the fancy market.
Strawberries retail in October at
from 40 to so cents per quart.
