The survey was suggested by the county’s small fruits advis ory committee headed by Glen Schaeffer, Kelso district straw berry grower. “Object of the survey,” ac cording to Mr. Schaeffer, “is to find out how important are fac tors such as time of planting, soil preparation, fertilization, source of plants, depth of cul tivation and plant storage.” “To successfully remain in the strawberry growing indus try, it is important that we be able to produce yields high enough to compete with neigh boring states. It is the purpose of this questionnaire to find out how some growers are consist ently getting high yields,” states Mr. Garoian. As soon as questionnaires are returned to the extension of fice, they will be summarized by George Waldo, UJ3.D.A. strawberry plant breeder and Mr. Garoian. Summaries will be presented to growers at the regular winter meeting for small fruit growers.
