The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-05-28

A. T.. Lake and Fred Wilson of The
Dalles came down Sunday and went out
to view their big berry patch. They
were we'll pleased with the prospect of
the harvest. This place will turn off at
least 5000 crates Of berries. ]. w.
Moore, who has charge of the place, has
had a go-cart made for use in the field
during picking time. One man will be
employed to gather the filled hand crates
and push them in the cart to the pack
ing house. The man with the go-cart
will also punch the tickets for the pick
ers. By this means the pickers will be
saved much walking across the field to
the packing house, and the packers will
be saved the annoyance of having the
pickers around and looking after their
tickets.
