Much TO the regret of almost every
housekeeper, the strawberry season was
very short this summer, and il is almost
impossible to purchase any berries at
this time. Too much rain at the first
part of the season and the excessive
heat of the past few weeks spoiled the
harvest Of the berry patches, most OF
which yielded less amounts than usual
Especially true was this of new patches
as these bore almost no fruit at all
The season has ended and the popular
opinion throughout the state is that il
was far below normal The shelves that
usually are loaded down with great jars
of the delicate fruits only contain many
empty jars in almost every house as
the exceedingly high price, caused by
the shortage, prevented most people
from storing away generous supply
for winter. There is one consolation
however, for the housekeepeF, and that
is about the raspberry crop From all
appearances Vermont will have a ban.
ner year for both raspberries and black
berries, and the canning season that
usually begins with strawberry time
will be trihe late in starting, but
eventually all the spare jars viii be
filed with the later berries.
