BIG STRAWBERRY CROP.
The Luscious Berry to Be in Mark
in Two Weeks.

The Luscious Berry to Be in Mark ct
in Two Weeks.
The mild winter is proving beneh ,iaI to
the early crops planted around Savannah.
The strawberry crop promises to be at least
a month earlier this season than it was last.
The plants are in bloom already, and a
truck farmer said yesterday that if no kill
ing frost occurs within the next week or
two there will be Strawberries in market.
Every preparation is being made for an
early crop and the indications are that the
yield will be the largest that has been for a
number of years.
There is considerably moro berry acreage
this year than there has ever been The
truck farmers are devOting good deal of
attention to strawberry culture, a farmer
said yesterday. They are taking into cult
walton Old land which has been turned out
for several years and they are planting
early berries on it, and they are finding
that it pays them.
Savannah consumed every berry that
was raised in the county last year and a
large portion of her supply came from
Florida and other portions Of the state.
This year there will be over fifty acres
planted in berries in Chatham county Ii
The crop does not suffer from cold between
now and gathering time, there will be an
enormous YIELD and berries shipped here
will lie driven out of TIE market. Hereto
fore few berries have been shipped away
from Savannah for the reason that there
WAS Sill demand here for all that could
be raised. As the acreage increases the
supply will naturally exce4d the local de-
mand, and with Savannah's facilities for
Shipping to the north, thousands of dollars
worOh of Strawberries can be placed in the
New York market.
The season for berries here opens about
the middle of March, but during the years
Of 1919 and 1880, when the winters were
mld like the present one, Strawberries were
on the market as early rs Jan. 10 and Feo.
l. Early ,berrias sell readily at 81 per
quart. The price gradually drops as the
fruit becomes more plentiful, and by the
time the season proper comes in they are
selling for - cents and % cents.
The truck farmers are all preparing their
lands for the spring crops. The planting
Of potatoes viii begin shortly, and the
acreage will exceed eyep that OF last year,
when the potato crop was precedenJedly
large. The Indications also a . that the
acreagei IN beaus, cucumbers and peas, and
All classes Of garden produce, will be largely
increased over that Of last year.
