STRAWBERRY CROP LATE;
WEATHER COLD IN SOUTH

Rich Islanders with an appetite for
strawberry shortcake who have been
eagerly awaiting the arrival of the
first carload shipments to this city
will be disappointed to learn that the
opening of the season has been ma
terially delayed by cold weather in
the south. The first large supplies of
berries received here are mostly from
Louisiana and generally begin to ar
rive by April 1. Low temperature,
however, throughout the entire south
ern district and extending north as
far as southern Illinois has prevailed
with the result that the season has
been given a set back. The fruit and
vines are reported to be in good con-
dition and no extensive loss is ex-
pected.
Local dealers claim that the delay
will cause both the Louisiana and
Tennessee berries to be placed on the

we must ascribe to the direct agency

which cannot be explained as arising
from potentialities existing in matter
