STRAWBERRIES
GOING FINE
ASSOCIATION At PEMBROKE
SHIPPING ONE AND TWO
CARS PER DAY.

The strawberry growers IN the
Pembroke vicinity are highly elated
over the progress made so far in the
marketing Of the berry crop and the
prospective yield. Three cars were
shipped last week and two more were
pulled out last night making n total
Of FIVE to date.
II Is now thought that the crop
will not be more than 10 per cent
short this season. though Il was
thought at first that the cold wealth
er had cut the crop short by about
one half.
The berries have been pronounced
by buyers who are on the ground as
being the finest they ever saw, both
as to size and quality. All FIVE cars
shipped so far have brought the high
price Of IS per crate and another
ear will be shipped today at the
same price.
There Is also strong indication
that the present high prices will
continue for several days II the quail
by is kept up to the high standard
set by the association on all berries
heretofore shipped. The Ave cars
already shipped will bring the grow
era something like $4,000, or $4,000
per car.

now being brought 10 their realiza-
tion that there is a big outdoor field
that Is claiming their efforts.
There was an enormous amount
Of work done last year In the way Of
individual gardens. Some Of that
effort was wasted for the reason that
Il was impossible TO get the crops
harvested and distributed. One Of
the chief 'don'ts' for this season
should be Don't plant too much
my advice 70 every woman who
is planting a garden is TO try and
make her garden in accordance with
tse per capita consumption Of the
members Of her family. This viii ell
inmate the factor Of wastage and the
problem Of distribution. Last year
that caused considerable discourage
ment; with better planning this year
no woman need feel discouraged be-
cause her garden has produced more
than she can dispose Of"
Women can put in very profitable
summers In the fields. Mrs. MeCor-
mick declares. She points out that
girl students and school teachers have
long summer months free to them.
and she maintains that there Is no
more profitable or better way TO
spend n summer vacation than to
spend Il in the fields.
Dehydration Is another one Of Mrs.
MeCormick's suggestions for women.
BY dehydrating vegetables and fruits
Mrs. Mccormick declares that women
can conserve every bit Of the food
produced on the farms this season.
Moreover. this is a most satisfactory
answer TO the winter question Of
what Shall We Have for Dinnerl"
Another thing in favor Of dchydra-
ton is the money saved. II costs but
about one-third Of the cost Of can
ming, according to Mrs. Mccormick.
Il seems 10 be up TO you, women
of America.

women must just leave their old pro

Pilot Molesworth, of the draft-stricken Baronial crew. is steering his fragile craft over sea of trouble, catching at every straw to keep from drowning in the murky waters of despair.
 Aided by Captain Smith, the chubby manager is securing the woods in search of married men or boys who know how to play the national pastime. Moley is determined to get a bunch of tossers who are exempt from army duty and he is now casting about for first-class league.
 Yesterday he signed up Tommy Long, a pitcher on last years Mobile team and Bill Waldron, a local product who performed in the T. c. I. organization.
 Long had the unenviable distinction of losing every game of the 10 he started last summer but Moley attributes his poor showing entirely to lack of support and stage fright. Tommy, who is only 19 years old, possesses world of stuff in that right wing of his and with a lit- tie coaching from the Baron chieftain SAould develop into reliable pitcher.
 Waldron is an infielder by trade and has sen service in the Georgia Ala bama league. He will be given thor ough try-out before being cast adrift.
 The situation as regards the team in general is really becoming more serious. as the opening of the training season approaches, and unless Boss "Quack' Smith is willing to get off the till and part with a few iron men" in exchange for some real players, the local nine will occupy a lower berth during the present summer.
 Outside of three good fielders, first baseman, and hard-hitting second base man, the lineup at the present writing is of the mediocre variety Two sho- huff pitchers are badly needed and an other receiver who can hit would be welcomed. In the infield DuBus is ex- pecting to be drafted any day and a fast man should be secured who can take his place or McDonalds should the vet eran falter during the cool spring weather.
 The next dish on the sport menu will be the wrestling tournament to be served by the Y. M. c. A. on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, Marsh F and IS. Besides number of local entries there will be few out-of-town grapplers who will take part in the tourney with the I.hope of snatching some more tinware. ] Young Ferdie schupp has finally come

 Buck Herzog. who was traded to the braves recently, has announced that he will retire from baseball rather than play for the salary offered him by the Boston club. Buck is asking for $10OO0 for the six months play and $5000 bonus at the end of the season.
 Doc Johnson is quoted in his home pa- per as saying that he is tickled to death over playing ball in Milwaukee this sea- son. Doc thinks the American associa- 1 ton is just about his class and will offer a better opportunity to get into the ma jors than any other league. Doc has evidently heard what 'mads Milwaukee famous
 | Another semipro twirler was signed | up yesterday, one Jesse B. Robertson by name, resident of the thriving city of Jacksonville. Robertson has cavorted on back lots around the state l for the past few years and is said to be a promising young moundsman. l The signing of these three bushers is in line with Moley's policy of trying
 
 picking up one or two "phenoms.'' l Moley's agreement with Pittsburg calls for three players in return for every one of the Birmingham men who are retained by the Pirate manage ment. Of the five sent up last year. Ponder and Webb are now in the army, which leaves Red Smith. Caton and Carmen Hill as Baronical contenders for places on the Pirate team. Should all three make good, which is ex-s tremely doubtful, Birmingham would receive six recruits in exchange. three having already been turned over by the Pittsburg owners If none of them get by in the major circuit, local fans will have the pleasure of again view 1 ing their antics at Redwood. l The Baron boss will send out trans portation tomorrow and so far it looks as if there will be no holdouts. Ball players are as plentiful now as mos quitos in August, which means that they are only too glad to get s'three squares every day.
