These Facts suggest a d!versi8cAuon n
crops and a limiting OF the berry pro-
ducton.
Regret IS expressed that ne revenue
was derived for the maintenance u ihs
Association the past season. aIl eS
penses having been met out " funds
in hand in the absence OF auN means
for collecting the one cent per cratic
tax for the purposes u the Associa
ton.
The report OF the Treasurer. AR :
II. Strange. OF Fayetteville. shows an
accounting OF the funds Win
sufficient on hand TO barely run the
Association another season with 40
revenue coming in.
Bad Year For Vegetable.
Weather conditions during the
Spring almost proved the undolne ~
the vegetable grower and but far the
good prices. the season would hay
been a failure. Every truck n fruit
grower In the territory is called upon
to join the Association A. the only
protection against and other
aggressions. The record OF the or
ganization speaks for Itself and the
success has been attained at great sac
rifice by officers. directors and COM
mitteemen.
Report Of Mr.. Bauman.
The eleventh annual report Of Mr.
II. T. Bauman. secretary and business
agent Of the Association. Was by FAR
the most complete and interesting he
has ever issued From it are cleaned
the following facts: The acreage
planted IN strawberries the past season
was a decrease of 2.243 acres or 80
per cent. in the whole territory Last
there were planted 1926 Ii
acres. not including the Northeastern
Railroad. from which were shipped
541,64S crates or an average OF II
crates per acre. This seasO from D.
2S3 Ia acres there were shipped "a.
5S2 crates, an average OF &C crates per
acre. With an average return OF s.
per crate last season this To
$142 per acre. With 50 per crate this
season. S13S per acre. Deducting cost
of production and gathering at $50.
per crate. the net result for last year
was S3i per acre. With the same de-
auctions for expenses this year. the
net result was $71 per acre. In other
words. in 1906 the crop produced at 81
per crate amounted to sl.0S3.096.
while the expenses of $50 per craze
amounted to S812,322, leavin- a net
balance of s270.774. This season the
production at 50 per crate amounted
to $733,746. Expenses at $50 per
crate. s366,673. leavin~ a net balance
of 1866 ,873. This shows a gain Of
s96,099 for 1907 and that from a 50
per cent. crop. This comparison Is a.
lowing the fun expenses OF cultivation
for 1907 in spite OF the fact that
there were 1000 acres less under cul-
tivation.
Good Money From Vegetables.
The lettuce shipments exceeded
those Of 1906 and while the crop re-
ceived a sever setback at the begin
ming of the season. n was CT of 70
a cOTSldeTdD4e extent. SUI the grower
was fortunate in saving a good
part of his crop found the demand
SO great that he is actually more in
pocket than If conditions had been
Peas. beans ana cucum-
bers were all Killed out early In the
season and many truckers ~rcplanted
were late but ~ood returns
were received for beans and cucum-
bers. The yield OF potatoes was up
to the average and fair returns We're
Cantaloupes were <ste. the
outnut increased and satisfactory
prices were obtained.
