PLANT SOME STRAWBERRIES
No Fruit Easier to Cultivate and
More Certain of Cropping-AI-
ways in Demand.

No fruit raised in the temperate
zone is more delicate in flavor and
delicious in taste, no fruit is easier
to cultivate, more certain of crop
ping and at the same time no fruit
Is scarcer on the average farm than
Strawberries. Only a little attention
spring and fall is needed. For the
rest, nature brings the fruit In abun-
dance at time when 1t is most well
come. Where rich cream Is available,
1t may be served in It's most palatable
form. And yet. probably nine farms
out of ten go without. It's worth
thinking about, and resolving to get
start at the earliest possible time.
Even renters certain of the same
place two or three years should set
out Strawberries. Plants set in early
spring or in August will yield good
crop next year.

GROWING FRUIT FOR FAMILY
When Taken From Home Garden 1t
Reaches Table Fresh--Aay Sur
plus Can Be Canned.

Homegrown fruit is desirable. say
specialists of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture
Because it reaches the family fresh
and in the best possible condition.
Because the family has fruit of
which it would often be deprived If 1t
had to be purchased.
Because, If the proper varieties be
selected, continuous supply Of fruit
Of superior quality may be secured,
regardless of market prices.
Because any surplus may be sold
without difficulty, or may be canned,
evaporated or otherwise conserved for
use when fresh fruit is not available.
Because the care of the home fruit
garden provides for congenlal and
profitable sparetime occupation, which
is in reality recreation for those who
enjoy seeing things grow.
