USE CARE WITH STRAWBERRY
Easy Matter to Grow Crop, but An.
other Thing to Setback In
Attractive Manner.

1t Is an easy matter to grow a crop
Of Strawberries, but quite another
thing to sell them profitably. Straw
berries to sell must be packed carefully
In boxes and placed on the market
soon thereafter.
Few towns are well supplied with
strawberries during the strawberry
season. Any individual who will plant
one to five acres will find a ready mar
ket for all his product at home. For
home market strawberries should be
very nearly ripe when picked; but for
shipping they should be picked a little
greener.
1t is an easy matter to pick a small
area, but when several acres have to
be picked over every day, it is not
so easy. Shortage Of help is the main
trouble.
When picking for shipping a field
should be picked every day, if possible,
but for home market to pick over the
same ground every other day is often
enough. 1t Is well 10 see that the
boxes are we'll filled.

Strawberries bear the next year after

crop the second year, although they
are profitable for three years or more,

While the conference was in progress
the matter of preparing statement for

dropped, and the conferees left the court
house refusing to be quoted on what ac-
ton had been taken. 1t was UNDER
stood, however, that the Overton case

what the defense could refute.

While the state officials are noncommit-
tal it is known that they are making
plans to combat vigorously all efforts
toward securing a change of venue.
