MADE MONEY ON
STRAWBERRIES

Mr.. William r. West. who lives on
what is known As the Matthew
Pusey" farm. about six miles from
Snow Hill, is one of the fortunate
growers, who has made money out
of Strawberries this year. From six
acres. Mr.. West sold $685. quarts.
receiving % cents quart for them
at the Juice Factory in Snow Hill, his
sales amounting to $2.i7l. The sales
from one acre. a new patch which was
set out in plants last year, amounted
to $7Sl.
Mr.. West recently sold the farm to
Mr. Edward Dryden, of near Hollands
Church. Mr.. West says that while
there was some talk in certain quar-
tors that tended to discourage Mr..
Dryden. and make him dissatisfied
with his purchase, the detractors of
the place may take it from him that
Mr. Dryden need not he afraid of the
farm. for the soil will certainly
"dclivcr the goods" When We con-
slider the nice sum that Mr.. West
nctted from six acres we are inclined
to agree with him.
