Our strawberry Producers

About ten acres of land lying across Tia
Willamette is d evoted TO raising straw
berries, the soil there being peculiarl y
fitted for the purpose, and hence, quite
valuable. Messrs, William Peacock, G
Skeels and Mr. Phillips each have about
three acres, and Mr. Shannon less than an
acre, 1t takes ten thousand plants to
make an acre, fact which will convey
some idea Of the amount OF abor it takes
to keep patch up. II is safe to estimate
the crop from an acre at 1900 to 1000 quarts
so that the amount OF the luscious fruit
eaten will be seen to be very large. On
this side of the Willamette Mr. II Town
send has fine patch OF strawberries,
which he delivers TO large number Of
customers.
Last Saturday one thousand boxes were
sold in this city, there being an increased
demand on account of the Sunday feasts
which were had.
