They show shipments from Delaware

Of strawberries.
This is nearly three times as much as
up to May 30 of last year, when there
had been shipped 3.S13.569 quarts
On May of last year. 1909, the strawber-
~ season was on In full force, but the
shipments were only 722,532, while on May

Although Pinchot refused 20 discuss pol

conference with colonel Roosevelt in the
olive groves Of Porto Maurizio Italy.
there is every reason to believe that Col

against those who have opposed Pinchot
and the Roosevelt conservation policies.
Pinchot viii make his first public speech
in St. Paul. MINI, on June z nearly two

that occasion probably outline Colonel
