From north to south, tho yields were good, the quality fine, and the price worth while. There seems" to be no valid reason why strawberry growing should not continue to be as successful In the future, One of the factors-o- f success has been the variety grown. The universal berry in Utah Is the variety called Marshall. A larger, redder, more luscious benr would be hard to find. Furthermore; it is a vigorous grower, produces lots of plants, and uniformly yields big crops of berries. It cans beautifully and looks fine on the market. This splendid berry is large ly responsible for the success of the crop. Other factors are the rich soils, good water supply, and comparative freedom from pests. When we consider that many other sections of the country have to almost 'make their soils suitable for berries, de pend on the clouds for timely Irrigation, and contend with pests, we must conclude there are some things to be thankful for. Pests are so bad In some states that anv one natch t good tor not more than one or twp crops, after which It Is of tea neces sary to plow theth up or turn them over to bugs and germs. The common practice here is to harvest the same patch lor jrvVor more year, A recent survey made by the writer has shown, however; that there are some Improvements necessary In strawberry management If this present success- is The most noticeable need is for sanitation In the patch. Although pests are not generlly bad, ttllt there are ravages In some quarters. There is not a space here to discuss all tho pebt, but In general the ravages of these pests are best checked by plowing up Infested patches, rotation, and securing plants only from clean patches. The may be effec tively checked by frequent sprays of lead arsenate, andi mowing and burning after harvest The best way to fight these pests Is to prevent their spread. Another improvement could be made In many fields by the use of manure. Some of the most successful strawberry growers In the state apply a thin, even coat of manure over the whole Held before heavy snowfall. The result Is a fine growth of vigorous vines am? abundance of berries. : Furthermore, 'his " enrichment of soil enables the plant to continue setting fruit and maturing large berries over a longer season. Fall manuring of the berry patch pays good dividends. If stable manure Is not available a rotation including a green manure crop will be found quite satisfactory. The need of berriee , suitable' for shipping and canning la especially important. The Marshall is an excellent berry for the home market but is not as suitable nor as desirable for shipping and canning. It is too soft to ehip well and usually too large to can. Growers throughout the state are making trials of other varieties to find a firm berry suitable, for shipping, and tests are being made as to their shipping quality; The writer hopes to make a report on this phase at a later time. The strawberry In Utah Is already a success but It can .continue to be - te leaf-roll- er . SEE BEAVER FIRST SAYS A CITIZEN BsautlfulT indeed, are the Beaver mountains. Looking eastward from Beaver City, which la the natural gateway to this magnificent recreational district, one can see the beaud tiful range in which are found Mt.
