mon came to the residence of the editor
Of the GLACIER early Monday morning
with one ripe strawberry. Fifteen min
utes later we found ]. o. Pugh of Sunny
side farm, White Salmon, waiting at our
office door with another ripe strawberry.
Fifteen minutes later Miss Mabel Coon
sent in a ripe strawberry from Cedar
Brook farm of Hood River. Each ex-
pected to be first and were surprised to
find there were others. Messrs. Zeigler
and Pugh crossed the river on the same
boat. Each told the other of having
picked ripe strawberry the day before,
but neither mentioned the fact that he
had it along and would report to the
GLACIER. In another week we will be
able to report the first shipment of
Hood River strawberries.
According to a note received from
Belmont, prominent citizen of that
place has the chicken fever bad-so bad
that he is broody. The note says: "M.
p. Isenberg has heard that if you set a
white chickens eggs under a black hen
the young chicks will have black feath-
ers so he has purchased red incu-
bator and red brooder and will try
raising red chickens. He has moved to
the barn, where he has set his incu-
bator, and he can be found at any time
of the day or night sitting before the
machine watching the thermometer to
keep the heat just right. If everything
goes right he expects to have it regu-
lated so he can trust the first setting of
eggs by May 18th. His family carries
his meals to him in the barn"

geon will take off the cast, and if every
thing is all right, Ralph will step forth
as straight as ever and will be the proud
est young man in Hood River.
