The shipments for 1902 also in- eludes Johnson, as they loaded with Sprlngdale that year.
 On account of overproduction, not only here but i'll other sec tions, in the years of 1o04-5 and 6, and the consequent low prices, many growers here plowed up their berry fields, which accounts for the falling off Tn shipments.

THE LUSCIOUS
 STRAWBERRY. IT BRINGS THOUSANDS OF DOL. LARS HERE EVERY YEAR. STRAWBERRY GROWING PAYS Something of the History of the Industry in This Part of
 the Country.

As we are to celebrate Straw berry Day in Springdale tomor- row Saturday few facts con- corning the growth of this in- dustry Ill this vicinity would seem to be appropriate just at this time. That this IS naturally strawberry country Is evidenced by the fact that way back yon- der before the advent of the rail- road, and before tame strawber- ries were known. in the spring. time when the industrious house. wife wanted strawberry pie for dinner she would go to the woods and fields with Ter bucket and there gather the wild berries which in some localities grew in profusion, with only such care and attention as nature might bestow.
 Berries were shipped to foreign markets from Spflngdale by ex- press as early as tile year 1888, which seems to have been about the beginning of the industry in this section. Springdale growers took the initiative Ill the straw berry industry III this section, as they did in the apple industry.
 In the year lss8 all organiza- ton here known as the Farmers Club took up the question of growing strawberries for market, and from the files of The News we see they conducted q straw berry festival on Tuesday night, May IS, of that year. In 1890 an organization known aS the North west Arkansas Horticultural So- ciety, the membership of which was not confined to this immed- fate locality, took up the straw berry business, the Farmer Club Fhaving ceased to exist, The Horticultural Society held a fair and festival at the public school building on the night of May l4, slS90, and premiums were award- ed for the best display of berries Eof the different varieties and [prizes were also gwen for the best Isiisplay of cut flowers. Judging |from the report ot the affair |printed in The News at that time Fit was great success.
 E In 1899 the Fruit Growers As Esociation was organized for the purpose of marketing the berries. Ei1efries were never sold on the kttack here i'll those days, all being @eonsigned, and representatives KWere sent to the markets oi the north aud west to remain through HE season and look after the in-
 krests of the shippers.
