Altho the total strawberry acreage
Of this district is only fraction of
what it was several years ago, this
wears crop, tonnage considered, was
one of the biggest money-makers in
the history of the local industry. The
yieldlexceeded early estimates by sew
eral thousand crates, the quality was
first class and the price higher than
ever before.

ira fancy and fancy for $S9, 9,364.11, or
an average of $5.12 crate. As there
was differential of so cents a crate
between extra fancy and fancy, the
average for extra fancies will be sew
eral cents more than this figure. The
Union also marketed 1416 crates of
Gamers for $4,248.19.
These figures include all berries
handled up until the close of business
Saturday night. Since that time a
few struggling crates have been COM
ing in until yesterday, when not a

for $23,717.2O, an average of $1.61 per
lib. crate. The total received for
these two crops was $117,329.50.
With these two crops out of the
way the Union is making preparation
for its hay and early potato deals.
Claude Turnbow, who has been in
charge of the Richland house, leaves
today for Montana to get in closer
touch with the hay market. While
some of the growers are getting eager
to dig their early potatoes, Manager
Krug is advising that digging be de-
layed for fully two weeks yet. While
