Thing any other one Improvement that
has come to this section since it was
entered by the rails of the Washing
ton, Idaho & Montana railroad.
But the special pride of the Deary
territory is the unequalled flavor and
keeping quality of it's strawberries.
The favorite varieties in this section
are the Hood River and the Idaho
Crescent, although there are several
growers who marketed a fine type of
Sharples. There is considerable con-
tention between the grower of the
Hood River and the Crescent as to
which is the better berry Opinion is
evenly divided. The variety that was
sent to the Moscow Chamber of Com
merce by the Deary Commercial club
in June was the Idaho Crescent, the
berries coming from the patches of
George Drury of Texas Ridge and
Frank Davis, owner of one of the
tracts of the Deary Home and Orch
ard addition to the original townsite
of Dearly. Mr.. Drury had only one
and three-quarter acres in berries
this year from which he marketed $50
Crates. Added to this were the do
mated berries and berries used for
their own table, and probably no less
than $50 crates were taken from the
patch. This would give about the
same average as that of the Deary
tract to the acre.
