LOte Berry Crop Now On.
While many have just completed the
berry pack some are just commencing.
Mrs. Y. Mccoy is one Of the late ones
and she has some of the finest berries
on the hill. Owing to the excellent
quality and the lateness of the crop it
is thought she will receive a fine prize.
Her berries will run largely three-tier,
and nothing under four-tier. She has
large force at work and is getting
out the crop in fine shape. Many in
that section are attracted by the quail
ity and the size and are seen in the
patch admiring the big beauties.
N. W. Freeland farther up the Hill
is also in the beginning of his pack.
He too has some fine berries and will
realize big yield. The very latest
berry patch in the White Salmon coun-
try is that of II. NJ. Clemens. He will
not commence Oh his pack for at least
two weeks. 1t is thought by all that
he will get in about the time when the
berry is "a scarce article and is com
manding big price.
