STRAWBERRIES WILL BE HIGH
Though Acreage is Reduced 32-Quart
Crates Will Bring $1,000

That strawberries grown in Della
ware and on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland this year will bring fabu-
lous prices in the city markets, is
pointedly indicated by the fact that
scores of the biggestgrower of ber-
Ties in Wicomico county have made
contracts with buyers already to sell
their berries at $1,000 per crate of
81 quarts.
Thousands of quarts of strawber-
ries will be shipped to Philadelphia
and Baltimore this year from Sails
bury at that price, and the city con-
sumner will pay at least 40 cents per
quart for the fruit.
The strawberry acreage in Wicomi-
co county this year will be much less
than usual.
The reason for this is the threaten
ed shortage of crates and baskets.
The materials used in the manufac"
ture of these is scarce and very high
so scarce and so high that fully so
per cent of the mills which for years
have made a business of manufactur-
ing crates and baskets have elimin-
ated that branch of their business and
are now devoting all their energies
to the making of lumber.

NEW ZEALANDER
WINS PACKING BET

Arthur S. Jupp, New Zealand fruit
grower, en- route home from England
after course in horticulture at the
| University of London, left here happy.
/ Mr.. Jupp. a veteran of the war having
enlisted on the first call and served
! through the battle Of the Somme and
other notable encounters, studied ap-
pie packing while here. He was an
apt student and was soon rated as a
professional packer Miss May David
son spoke of his ability one day, how
ever, in a spirit of levity.
"l'll tell you what I'll do, said Mr..
Jupp. "I'll bet you an English pound
to a good dinner that | will average so
boxes of apples a day for my first
week of packing. The way | feel
makes me think of a story. During
the war many of us soldiers used to 90
over to Blighty England when we
had long enough leaves. In one of the
big London terminal stations some
machines for catching pennies were
placed. One put penny in a slot and
then pushed at a kind of protrudng
handle bar. If he pushed hard enough
he got his penny back. 1t took rare
strength to feel the touch of penny
slots. Well, one evening a bunch of
Scotch soldiers descended on London.
They tried the slot machines. The
next morning guards on entering the
terminal found four dead Scotchmen,
their rigid hands still grasping the
push bars. I'm going to win my bet
or be like those Scotchmen when the
week is over"
Mr.. Jupp, who won his bet and who
declares that he will put into effect
many Of the harvesting and growing
systems he has found here, suffered a
wound IN a very unromantic manner
during the war. He and comrades
were buried when a high explosive |
she'll threw the earth of a gun en-
over them. A rescue party I
hastened to dig them out and one of |
them stuck pick into Mr. Jupps

sires to profit by the glib squirt in

Charleston will have fine camp with
a range and running water, garage
and a. caretaker. Lewiston will also
have a splendid park. The Spokane
Chamber of Commerce is endeavoring
to compile list of camp sites, but
finds that only the most enterprising
communities can be induced to tell
the facilities they have to offer to
tourists in the matter of camps. 1t is
proposed to issue a guide to the In
land Empire list all camp sites and
giving photographs to many, so that
tourists will be advised not only of
the attractions of the district but also
of the facilities afford for touring the
Inland Empire in comfort.

The railroads are to be returned

claimed that the railroads have been

ating expenses in every line have
been greatly increased The expert
ment in government control has been
expensive to the railroad owners as

mand increased wages.
The country roads in Moscow high
way district have been dragged dur
ling the past week and have been
greatly improved thereby. Why can
not the citizens of Moscow living on
dirt streets have the streets dragged?
We ought to be entitled to as good
roads inside the city limits as out
side. Yet a milkman said recently:
"The streets of Moscow, when one
gets off the pavement, are far worse
than the country roads," This ought |
not to be. Dragging the streets would
not cost much and the benefits would |
be noticeable. Suppose we try it on a
small scale as an experiment.
N. williamson has sold another bull
calf to a Genesee farmer for $3.50.
While the price seems high, when
compared with prices paid for scrub
or grade animals, it is really cheap
and the purchaser will make larger
per cent of profit from this animal
than from common scrub or grade
at 10 per cent of the price paid for
the registered animal. The man who
buys purebred livestock for breeding
purposes makes wise investment.
