The growers are delighted with the

making more money per acre than

fourth acres, and hardly third the
crop has been gathered. In addition
to this. Mr.. Halter has canned and
preserved a great quantity of berries
too ripe for shipment. 1t goes without
saying that the acreage will be greatly
increased by another year, and the
promoters of the enterprise are pre-
dieting that Conway will eventually
be one of the states great strawberry
centers.
