MOVEMENT OF STRAWBER-
RIES,
Truckers Make Arrangements
for two Daily Trains; Ship
ments to Begin Next Week:
Prospect for a Great Crop

Members of the executive COM
mittee and board Of directors OF
the East Carolina Truckers and
Fruit Growers Association were
here yesterday and conferred
with the transportation depart
meat of the Atlantic Coast Line.
The following were here for this
purpose: Messrs. W. A. Hill, Of

tors; G. NJ, Steinmetz, of Rose
Hill, secretary of The executive
committee; J.. A. Westbrook, OF
Mt. Olive; Dr.. E. Porter, OF
Rocky Point, and W. F. English,
Of Mt. Olive.
The object of the representatives
of the association was to make ar.
rangements for the movement OF
the strawberry crop. In view OF
the prospects for a large increase
in production, it was arranged to
run the strawberry train in two
sections daily-in other words, t.
run two trains, This arrangement
has been made necessary in order
to provide facilities for getting
the crop to market. The frs
train will load for New York,
Newark and points east, and the
second train will take on ship
ments for Washington, Baltimor'
and points west.
The crop will be moved in the
refrigerator car of the Califor
MIA Fruit Transportation Com
pany. Messrs. W. E. Worth &
Co., proprietors Of the Whining
ton Ice Factory, have the con
tract for supplying the cars will
ice, Their factory is now run'
ning both machines to their full
capacity, and if necessary seven
ty-fve tons of ice can be turne,
out. The company can suppl,
ice to twenty-five to thirty aday
ten cars at a time.
The berry growers report tina
unless the crop is cut off, the in
crease will be from 100000 t,
10000 crates more than las
season, when 165, 900 crates wer
moved to the northern markets
The value Of the strawberry in
