HORACE RAlNEYS FIELD Is

NEW RECORD MADE FOR SIZE

The Patch Fill a Quart Measure and

If there are those who doubt the
possibilities of Maury county soil for
the production of any crop they should
20 to the strawberry patch of Horace
Rainey near Highland Park. There
in about four acres of ordinary land,
not especially prepared and having no
fertilizer applied, they will see PROB
ably the most wonderful crop OF these
deectable berries that have ever been
grown in the country.
Not only is the yield enormous, the
ground being practically covered, puC
the striking feature is the uniformly
large size. They are the largest and
the most shapely berries ever seen
here. There are plenty of them that
measure six inches in circumference
The yield is difficult to compute, Dut

The berries have quantity, they nave

and they have flavor. They are sWee'

estimate of more than 100 crates Z
