the best information we can get
there are about 30 acres to be mark.
eted this year. The price OF to-
bacco IL low and uncertain. and a
good money crop is needed. and
strawberries are marketed in the
spring when money is usually scarce
with the farmer. Unless the crop
is heavy, this year, We will depend
on express shipments largely at the
beginning and winding up OF the
season We want to get enough
planted this year to insure daily car
shipments.
Each planter should increase his
acreage this year, and others that
did not plant last year should plant
this spring. This is one OF the
finest fruit sections in the south, and
We will never come into our own
until we develop it. Eight hun
dred gallons OF berries have been
grown here to the acre with very
little attention given the plants.
