Most Profitable Strawberry Region

The Westerner, Seattle maya
zine, in an article on Berry Gull
tnre," has this to say of the Ken
newick Valley:
1.-The Kennew1ck region is the
most profitable strawberry region,
not so much because it produces
better berries or more of them per
acre, though it cannot be surpassed
in either of the Sc features, but be-
cause the berries ripen there from
two to four weeks earlier than in
other berry-growing sections. The
first strawberries from the Kerne-
wick country sell in Seattle and
Spokane markets at prices as high
as So and even S. a crate, and it is
not considered at all unusual for a
Kennewick strawberry patch, prop,
erly cultivated, to yield $500 worth
of berries in single season, Yields
worth double this figure have been
reported this season.
