Church street. loaded the first refrig-
orator ear OF strawberries to leave
Norfolk his season on Saturday. The
shipment was consigned to Hanna
ford Brothers, Portland, Me.
Frost and other adverse weather
conditions have set the strawberry
crop in Norfolk and Princess Anne
counties. as we'll as that of the PENN
sula and Eastern Shore sections, back
considerably. Experts estimate that
the crop has been reduced anywhere
from 25 To so per cent OF wha was
expected before the frosts that &C
CURED a couple of weeks ago.
On accoun of mild weather prior
to the frosts, the berry crop ad-
yanced pretty we'll, but lack of ain
retarded the %ripening process. with
the result. that the first pickings were
considerably delayed, 1t Is thought
the rainfall of yesterday morning
would have a decidedly beneficial eff

TOBACCO FARMERS
INCREASE ACREAGE
RECORD PRICES ON OXFORD
MARKET FOR PRESENT
:
SEASON INSPIRES THEM.

OXFORD. N. c.. April 2&.-Secre-
tarv Minor. of the oxford Tobace,
Board OF Trade. has completed his
report OF the tobacco sales on t1s
oxford market for theyear. The
number OF pounds. 6.741.fly,' .4ali for
an average of eighteen
cents a pound. This is the largest
arfount by over 100000 eve pail
out for this product N the local
market.
The 1910 crop amounted TO e.52s,-
1913 pounds and sold for ss1S,7Ss.
averaging I2 1-2 cents. the 1911 cro1
of ~T.6S6.594 pounds brought s1.0lS.-
936. The total crop OF the county,
including the sales at Creedmoo-.
brought over $500. 600. This is y
great surprise TO the people OF this
county, inasmuch as the extremely
dry season last summer cut down the
expectations to less than so per cent
of a crop. even the most optimistic
prophets did not count on over s.
600. 600 pounds.
The biggest surprise. however, was
the price. II was no unusual occur
renee for a farmer TO get for a load
OF tobacco enough in excess of what
he expected, 10 buy "A buggy and set
OF harness. One farmer two miles
from oxford sold the crop on his
place for more than he paid for the
farm twelve years ago and ne had
already sold part of the original pur-
chse.
The high price has had a stimulate
ing effect on the preparation for thls
years crop. The farmers are strain
ing every nerve to plant the biggest
crop ever planted in the county. Over
1000 tons OF fertilizer will he used
for tobacco in the county.
