Jot Irons, who owns a house and
less than a quarter of an acre OF
ground in North Milton, today re-
ceived returns on this seasons straw

siderable interest to fruit growers of
this vicinity. From his patch of less
than a quarter of an acre he took
this year "a crates of berries, receiv-
ing an average price Of 1881 net, at
the warehouse of the Shields fruit
