The farmers of this section were
disappointed in the small net profits
OF the berry crop, a number of ship
ments of which brought the con
signors in debt. Indeed many of our
largest shippers are beginning to
realize that, year by year, there is
not the money in berries that was
once thought to be. They recognize,
too, that the demand for pickers
badly cripples other farming interests
and that a want of unanimity in prices
paid for picking threatens ultimately
the most serious labor complications
In the face of these facts and eX-
perience, it is. to be hoped, that the
acreage devoted to this crop will not
be increased. Irish potatoes are now
being sent to market. The outlook
in this direction is more encouraging
