New JERsEy's SMALL FRuITs CRor.--In
an address at Trenton before thc Fruit Crow
.crs' Association, Mr.. Quinn gives the straw
{sberry crop of the State at two millions OF
quarts, which, at fifteen cents per quart, would
be worth $500, 600. OF blackberrics, rasp
berries and grapes there are about as much
more, IND he estimates the cranberry crop,

which has.brought into use thousands of acres
of otherwise unemployed swampy lands, gives
New Jersey the credit Of raising half of the
entire cranberry crop Of the United States.
