Abstract: We prove that an infinite Riemann surface $X$ is parabolic ($Xin{O}_G$) if and only if the union of the horizontal trajectories of any integrable holomorphic quadratic differential that are cross-cuts is of zero measure. Then we establish the density of the Jenkins-Strebel differentials in the space of all integrable quadratic differentials when $Xin{O}_G$ and extend Kerckhoff's formula for the Teichm"uller metric in this case. Our methods depend on extending to infinite surfaces the Hubbard-Masur theorem describing which measured foliations can be realized by horizontal trajectories of integrable holomorphic quadratic differentials.
