STRAWBERRY SEASON CLOSES
BrewtOn Shippers Have Enjoyed a
 Excellent Season.


 Brewton, April 25-(Special. .)--Ship- ping strawberries is over in Rrewton for this season. and 1t is not likely there will be any shipped from here next season, as the Lovelace Brothers are blowing up their strawberry vines and the entire plantation will be devoted to the growing of peaches
 Eleven car loads of berries were shipped from their farm during the past four weeks. and while fairly good prices prevailed. the expense of gath ering the crop and getting 1t ready for market is so great that there Is very little. if any, profit left on the investment.
 A few years ago, the Lovelace Bro thers set out three hundred acres of land in peach trees and planted strawberries among the trees The trees have now become so large that the berries cannot grow beneath their shade. The present prospect for good crop of peaches is excellent and 1t Is expected that they will be ready to commence shipping about the mid dle of June. There are three hundred acres with 1855 trees to the acre, and poets hold good there will be an aver age of at least one bushel of fruit to the tree.
 Gathering the berry crop was a very profitable employment for a large mum Der of women and children the pay roll amounting to over $1,200 per week. and the largest part of this amount was immediately placed in cir culation in the town.
