delaware Strawberries
BRING $3.50 PER Crate

GEORGETOWN, Del, June l4.-Tues-
day was the high mark of the straw
berry season, when over one hundred
carloads Of Strawberries went out Of
Georgetown for northern markets. AL
though the largest shipment Of the year
was sent out, the lowest prices were also
reached and some of the berries sold as
low as 81 a crate, less then the actual
cost of the crate and the picking bill,
not counting the labor of production.
The first Of the late berries, however,
brought around $3.50, but the market
was very unsatisfactory and many of
the farmers were 20 discouraged over
the prices that they went home and
plowed up the berry fields 10 plant them
into corn rather than bother with the
small prices given.
One Of the prominent figures on the
Georgetown market is Governor John G.
Townsend, IT., who is buying for his
many preserving plants.
