his feelers into the atmosphere to sense

eral informal meetings have been held
and il is likely an active campaign
will be inaugurated.
According to recent plans" said
John II. Mcnamara, one of the Hough-
ton County directors, there will be a
general manager of the association
who will most likely be located in Chi
cago. His business will be TO answer
all correspondence relative to upper
peninsula lands.
Chicago is one Of the most centrally
located cities in the United States and
more travelling is done through it than
any other city in the United States
The general managers duty will be to
keep track of colonization projects
aliens looking for land, people desiring
TO purchase farms and i'm general TO
keep his eyes open for opportunities TO
sell land or bring people TO the upper
peninsula. AS soon as he meets with
an opportunity of this kind he will
notify the land owners. and who are
members of the organization. Then
the advertising begins"
THE bureau will not do very much
advertising along general lines. This
part Of the campaign will be left to the
land owners. They will issue booklets,
pamphlets, circulars and letters set
ting forth the many advantages offered
by this section and will conduct direct
correspondence with prospective set
tiers"
Raising money win also be part of
our duties" continued Mr.. Mcnamara.

BIG MONEY IN
STRAWBERRIES
CULTURE is RAPIDLY BECOMING
ONE OF MOST PROFITABLE
INDUSTRIES OF UPPER
PENINSULA.

That the culture OF luscious straw
most profitable industries of the upper
peninsula is shown by the following
from the Ontonagon Herald;
lone farm. the Lake Superior
strawberry Farm, with thirty acres
has produced In a single year over
G,75O bushels or $4,000 quart boxes
This is an average production of two
hundred and twenty five bushels 20
the acre. Some single acres ran over
three hundred bushels to the acre. The
board cars ranges from two dollars
and forty cents to two dollars and
ninety cents per bushel on cars at on
tonagon.
Pickers receive an average of less
than one and one quarter cents per
quart Some idea of the average size
of the berries can be obtained from
the record for picking last season. one
person picked one hundred and thir-
! ty-five quarts i'm three hours. With
feat would be a physical impossibility.
one Of the reasons for the low cost
of production is that the strawberry
farmers at Ontonagon never have to
spray their plants.
No signs of disease or harmful in
sects have ever been seen here. The
best varieties seem TO be Senator
Dunlap and Dornon. The berries are
not allowed TO fruit the first year. The
second, third and sometimes the fourth
seasons the berries are gathered. Then
the land is used for clover or peas and
this crop is turned under After the
berries are picked each season, the
fields are moved with n regular now
er and raked with an ordinary horse
rake. What mulching is left is raked
by hand to loosen it and the entire
field is burned over clean.
The total acreage devoted to straw
berry farms around Ontonagon is
close to one hundred and II is steadily
increasing each year. Contrary 10 the
custom in many sections the individual
Hill system of planting is used instead
of the solid row system. The plants
are set about twelve TO fifteen inches
apart in the rows and the rows are
two feet nine inches apart. The ber-
ries commence to ripen about July LIST
when nearly all other berries are out
Of the market and continue until Au-
gust LIST. For this reason they bring
more money than other Strawberries.
II would be hard to conceive OF a more
congenial occupation than strawberry
farming.
There are thousands of acres of
strawberry land between Ontonagon
and the village Of Green that are ideal
for the growing of Strawberries. This
land can still be bought at very low
prices, considering its value. but the
time is not for distant when all of il /
will bring much higher prices.
