BROTHERS BATTLE
FOR MILLIONS.

Washington, May S.-A renewal OF
the hitter fight between two brothers
over the millions left by their father,
Stilson Hutehins, newspaper publisher
of Washington, is foreseen in the an
nouncement that a new trial would be
asked today of Justice Anderson. The
will of the late publisher was broken
by a jury on April "a, after a bitter
contest that began in November. The
verdict favored the younger son, Lee
Hutchins, and set aside the provisions
of the will of october, 1910, which left
the bulk of the 100000 property to
the widow, a step-mother. The widow
and the elder son, Walter S. Hutchins,
defended the will. The widow was
averse to litigation, but the enmity OF
the brothers forced it into the courts.

EHOw the Southern ShaW-
berry Crop Is Harvested

I picked before it is put into refrigera
tor cars or refrigerator boxes the bet
| ter it Is for the berries, which viii
continue to ripen rapidly until they are
chilled
Large Crates Preferable.
Many different types of boxes and
crates are used for strawberries, but
the tendency is toward a standard
full-size quart box. In fact, in several
states it is illegal to offer for sale a
short box; shipments to these mar.
kets must be handled to conform with
the laws. The boxes now in use are
the American or standard quart berry
box, which holds a full quart; the
octagon box, and the square scale
board type of quart and pint boxes.
The American type is the one that is
most generally used; it is full size,
strongly made, and packs well in the
crate. The octagon box is objection
able on account of its shape and the
raised bottom. A long, narrow box
is not satisfactory, because it is in
convenient to pick up without grasp
ing the sides between the thumb and
fingers, and when handled in this way
the berries are likely to be mashed.
Moreover, the sides Of boxes with
raised bottoms often split off below
the bottom, causing the boxes to tip
over The scale-board boxes are
cheaper than splint boxes, but as the
later are more substantial they are
preferred in nearly all markets. The
type of crate depends on the boxes
that are used Any crate that is sub
stantially built and well ventilated is
satisfactory, but cost is an important
consideration, as they are not returned
to the shipper. The largest crate that
can be handled conveniently is the one
to use, as the large ones are cheaper
in proportion to the quantity of berries
they carry. The "a or 32-quart crates
are generally used, though in some
sections the 60-quart crate is en-
ployed. Crates with hinged lids have
an advantage over others in that they
provide for the inspecvron OF the fruit
to better advantage. The hinged-lid
crate invited inspection and this is a
point in its favor.
A large part of the strawberry crop
grown in Florida is shipped to north
ern markets in refrigerator boxes.
These boxes, or pony refrigerators,
hold 81 or 80 quarts of berries. After
the boxes of berries are placed in the
refrigerator a metal tray is put in
place above the berries and filled with
ice. The main advantage in using
these refrigerator boxes is in long-dis-
lance express shipments where refrig-
Grafton is necessary.

WHERE THE STRAW
BERRIES COME FROM
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
GIVES SURVEY OF WHERE
CROP GROWS.

Washington, d. c., May 8.-A recent
survey of the production and market
ing OF strawberries In the United
States, made by the Department of
Agriculture, indicates that the eight
most important commercial straw
berry districts are Central California,
Tennessee, Maryland, Delaware.
Southern Louisiana, North and South
Carolina, Virginia, and the Ozarks.
In 1914, 1901 carloads of strawberries
were shipped fsom Central California
Lesser quantities were shipped from
the other districts which are named
in the order of their Importance. From
the Ozarks came 74S carloads last
year.
The authors of the survey, which is
published in Bulletin 1877 of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
strawberry Supply and Distribution
in 1914" points out, however, that the
North plays more important part in
the strawberry industry than these
figures might indicate. Great quaint
ties of berries are grown in the North
in small patches and shipped to mar
ket by trolley, express, or in the pro-
ducer's own wagon. Only very small
portion of northern-grown berries are
concentrated into carload lots, the
basis for the government survey. In
the South, however, on the Pacific
Coast, where berries are shipped long
distances it is economical to arrange
to have them sent by carload.
The bulletin already mentioned con-
tains list of all shipping stations in
the United States where carload ship
ments originate, together with the
number of carloads sent out in 1914.
From this list it appears that there
was a grand total of 1852 carloads
Of strawberries shipped commercially
in 1914 Of these 1912 came from
California, the States closest competi-
tor being Tennessee with a total of
1915.
j; Another chart in the bulletin shows
the duration of the shipping seasons
in the various sections. Strawberries
begin to leave Central Florida as early
as December and the movement con-
tinues until the end of March. By
the first of March the first .strawber-
|. ries from Southern Texas and South
ern California find their way to the
market. About the middle of March
the Louisiana crop begins to move,
continuing about two months or until
the middle of May. May is, indeed,
the greatest month for carload ship
ments. By far, the greatest part Of
the Tennessee and Virginia crop is
shipped at that time, as we'll as much
of the Delaware, Southern Illinois, and
Maryland supply. By the end of June
Southern California is almost the only
area from which carload shipments
are being made The strawberries
then on the market are chiefly grown
in small quantities in areas close to
the great consuming sections.
In connection with this work the
Department of Agriculture is conduct
ing a telegraphic market news SER
vice of the daily movement of straw
berries to the various large markets
during the current season together
with the prices received. Reports OF
these movements and prices are tele-
graphed daily to producing areas and

Washington, D. c., May 8.-The fol
lowing summary taken from new
farmers bulletin of the United States
Department of Agriculture, "Strawber
ry Growing in the South" shows the
Importance Of careful grading and
packing if the grower expects to OBJ
tain quality" prices.
The stage of maturity at which Der.
ries should be picked depends upon
the distance they are to be shipped.
When grown for a local market they
should be picked when thoroughly ripe
but not soft. If grown for distant
market the berries must be picked be
fore they are thoroughly ripe, but they
should be fully grown and about three
fourths ripe. If picked before they
are colored the berries will shrink and
wither, making them unfit for sale.
Strawberries should be picked with a
short piece of stem attached (about
one-fourth to one-half inch.) They
should never be shipped from the
stem, as that spoils their appearance
and Injuries their shipping and keeping
qualities.
Packing.
Uniformity in the pack is essential
in order to obtain high prices for
strawberries, and this can be secured
only when the berries have been care
fully graded and sorted. Some grow
ers have the berries graded in the
field.
A common practice in some sections
is to pick the ripe berries of all grades
into the same box and when the tray
is full to take it to the packing shed,
where the berries are sorted and
packed. The graders dump the ber-
ries on a table and pick out all green,
overripe or small berries. The others
are placed in the boxes, one of the
graders arranging the top layers in
such a way that the berries show to
best advantage. When berries are
packed in this manner, care should be
taken not to put the small, inferior ber-
ries in the center of the box and the
large, fine berries on top. The fruit
should be uniform throughout the box,
with the top layer merely placed to
add to the attractiveness Of the pack
and to hold the fruit in place. Where
fancy pack is put up, the berries
should be divided into two grades.
After the berries are picked they
should be placed in the shade as soon
as possible, for heat Injuries the fruit
in a short time. The pickers should
not be allowed to leave the filed boxes
along the rows, where the berries will
be exposed to the sun. The shorter
the time that elapses after the fruit is

ITALY WANTS |STR|A
FOR REMAINING GOOD
THE PROVINCE BELONGS TO
AUSTRIA, AND Is A VERY
WEALTHY ONE.

washington, d. c., May S.-Today' s
statement of the National Geographic
Society concerning the geography OF
the war in Europe deals with the Aus
trian province of Istria, which the
Italians desire to secure, and which Is
said to be one Of the considerations
that Germany offers for continuation
of Italian neutrality. The statement
says:
ACROSS the Gulf of Venice from
Italy lies the rich Austrian province
of Istria, formerly Venetian. The
Istrian peninsula, thick, irregular
triangle wedged into the North Adri-
attic. with Pola at it's apex-three prin-
cipal Austrian ports-is first among
all of the Dual Monarchy's maritime
provinces. It is an outlet necessary
to the empires trade, and would, in
deed, be a bright prize for the Ital-
fans
'Tstria, the ancient Histria, contain
ing, with its neighboring islands, 1912
square miles, is an Austrian crown
land, and forms part of the modern
territorial division known as the Coast
Districts. It's coastline is well-in-
denied, but the shores in much Of
their extent are steep and forbidding.
Mountainous rock masses cross the
land from north to south, eliminating
in Monte Maggiore, about 1900 feet
high.
"Olives and figs are cultivated in
the region, and Istria's grapes and
wine are famous. There Is little gar
den, though considerable rich pasture
land, and the forests of the peninsula
supply the material for large native
bodybuilding industry It's fisheries
are very valuable, and it has small
mineral yield, coal, alum and salt.
There is little or no local manufactu-
ing, except the building of ships.
at is as a shipping point, as a land
of ports and strategic commercial and
military naval bases, however, that
Istria is most desirable. The shipping
of its harbors amount to more than
100000 tons annually. Pola, at the
apex, the chief naval base of the Dual
Monarchy, is one of the most impor-
tant sea-power stations in southern
Europe.
"The population of Istria is about
100000, 40 per cent of whom are Ser
bo-Croats, and "a per cent Italians. In
its early history, Istria was a famous
pirate land. The Romans subjugated
the freebooters here. From the late
Middle Agfes until the extinction of
the Venetian Empire in 1897, Venice
ruled the greater part of the peninsula,
while only the northeastern portion
belonged to Austria. Venetian posses
sion is the history of Italy's present
claims. The loss of this province
would be a severe one to the Dual
Monarchy's commercial ambitions and
ambitions for Mediterranean power"

Of the 100000 that Mr.. Brown, to
The CONSERVATION of conservative
associates, scooped from the treasury
last August for the publicity venture
that was to transform disaster into
increments of benefit, little more
than $4,000 has been spent thus far,
and even were the campaign to end
now it's consequent results would con-

concern broadened its scope until,

and February, just ended, series OF

Gains In Every Department
For these two months, Mr.. Brown
says, minimum gain in any depart
