2.24O ACRES OF STRAWBER-
RIES THIS YEAR IN STATE

The strawberry crop through
out the state of Mississippi this
year covers a total Of 2,24O acres
as compared with an acreage of
1852 acres last year, according
to figures issued by the bureau of
crop estimates, Of the United
States department of agriculture.
The berry yield this year is par
excellent. The fruit is better,
larger and more delicious than it
has been for some time. Berries
are being brought to Corinth IN
wagon load lots, and usually, at
this time of the year, while the
price is high, they are considered
rare, they are selling extraordl-
narily cheap, it having been re
ported that one wagon load lot
was sold in Corinth to individuals
for % cents a crate. Just how
true this report is, is not known.
But the best of berries are be-
ing sold three boxes for 25 cents,
and others are selling four for a
quarter.
Alcorn county is rich in straw
berries. and right here in the I'M
mediate vicinity of Corinth, the
Weld seems to be plentiful.
Reports from the rural dis
tricts are that the blackberry
/! crop this year will also be large.

that we do not dream at all when we
