THE STRAWBERRY SEASON
SHORT AND CROP SMALL

Despite a season that appears TO
have been favorable, the strawberry
crop this year is short. Those who
have been waiting for lower prices
before purchasing for canning and
preserving are doomed to disapoint-
ment, for, instead of becoming cheap
er, the fruit has taken a turn in the
other direction. Growers say that
the first blossoms in most cases
were the only ones that developed
into fruit and the season therefore
is short. Berries are selling at two
boxes for quarter and some even
as high as , cents straight. BY the
crate they run from % 10 80 cents
higher than in former years. Low
vitality Of plants, due to the hard
winter, is given as one of the prob
able causes of the crop shortage.
