SHIPMENTS OF FOUR
 CARS BERRIES A DAY
W. D. COLE, JR., SEES GREAT FUTURE FOR STRAWBERRY
 INDUSTRY HERE.

A sufficient acreage of strawberries
 in the viuinity of Conway to insure shipments of four cars of berries per day next year is already in sight, ac- cording to Secretary w. D. Cole, Jr., of the Faulkner County Truck Grow CTS Association. MT. Cole is an en- thusiastic on the berry question and thinks there is a great future for that industry in this section.
 "It will eventually become of more importance to Conway than the cotton crop" said MT. Cole. "We are get ting our first start this year, but there is absolutely no question as to the ful ture. We are beginning on the right basis, with our acreage divided into small portions among large number of farmers. As soon as they see what can be done with one or two acres they will gradually increase the amount of land in berries, until it will eventually become their main crop.
 "The members of the association are setting out their plants as fast as they are received" MT. Cole said. "A few have failed to carry out their contracts, but these have been more than made up by new members com ing in. Within the next few days there will be a total of over 200 acres planted in this vicinity. This is sufficient acreage to insure shipments of four cars a day, as it has been dem- onstrated that 50 acres will produce a car day during the season. As the season usually lasts two weeks and about the minimum value of a car of strawberries is 5000, it can easily be figured what even this small acreage will mean ta CnnWaY next YearN
