Strawberries Now Safe.

THE outlook for very large crop of
strawberries at Cullman this year is ex-
ceedingly bright" said NJ. H. Bogue of
that city.
1T is believed now that there will be
no severe weather to injure the plant or
fruit. and the prospects are that the crop
Will be on the market early.
The acreage is being steadily increased
and the yield this year promises to be
much larger than that of last season.
"Hanceville, eight miles south of Gull
man on the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road is getting to be an important ship
ping point for strawberries. The lands in
that section are well adapted to berry
culture"
