GROWTH OF STRAWBERRY IN

| fruit for the ice-creaIn and soda
fountain trade in northern cities.
Perhaps the principal reason for
the prosperity enjoyed by Louisiana
berry growers is that they keep
themselves closely informed upon
day-to-day market conditions. The
producers appreciate that knowing
the markets enables them to meet
the consumers desires as regards
quality and quantity, and that to
oyerstock one market when another
market is undersupplied is unsound
from both an economic and financial
standpoint. Every day during the1
marketing season a daily report oil
conditions and prices at the principal
marketing centers throughout thea
country is issued by the local repre-
sentatives of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Their information is
obtained by trained market report
ers at consuming points. ~.
The growers are also Informed as
to daily carlot shipments everywhere
in the United States. Thus the pro-
ducers not only know the prices be-
Ding paid for berries at the various
consuming markets, but exactly what
competition may be expected from
other sections shipping strawberries
at about the same time. The de-
partment also furnishes daily infor-
nation regarding temperature and
weather conditions, SO that the nee
essary icing and refrigeration can bo
provided for the shipments.
Market Information For All Growers.
The departments station at Ham
mond was opened in 1915, and was
the first field station established any,
where by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture for the issuance
of market news reports Here, in
the heart of Louisiana's strawberry
producing district, the arrangements
were first made to study methods OF
packing, shipping, and distributing
Strawberries in the United States; TO
keep growers Informed Of strawberry
movements from other regions, and
to inform them daily of prices and
conditions in the leading consuming
markets. Hammond was selected as
the location for the departments
first field station because of the large
proportions that the Louisiana straw
berry industry had attained. Lou
isiana then ranked fourth in COM
mercial strawberry Importance. To-
day the state ranks second in carlot
shipments, and the value of the crop
exceeds that Of any other strawberry
shipping state.

The Rock Island Argus and daily union., 1922-12-30
BY OTTO F. HnDEBRANDT.
Secretary Chamber of Commerce.

Secretary Chamber of Commerce.
When the year 1922 opened, Rock
Island was faced with a very crit
ical unemployment situation. The
Chamber of Commerce, realizing
the necessity Of an employed city,
in order that all lines of business
could operate without a loss, i'm
mediately set to work to inaugur-
ate an industrial program to re-
lieve the Situation: In this pro-
gram it was uniformly successful,
Early in January the city had the
opportunity of securing the Rock
Island Garment company, subsid-
larry of a large Chicago corporation,
which employs approximately 800
people, with a guaranteed minimum
pay roll of '$150, 900.
While there were no buildings
available suitable for this institu-
ton, yet this handicap did not de-
ter the Chamber of Commerce from
going ahead to provide the proper
housing facilities for this enter
prise. A holding company was
formed Of some 20 citizens who
subscribed the necessary funds to
erect the building for the Rock Is
land Garment company. This build
ing was not gives, as a bonus or in
ducemeut for the company to locate
in this city, but has been rented to
the company for term Of years.
The plant opened early in Febru-
ary. Today it has on its rolls near
ly 300 people. and has paid out in
wages $3.50, ,000.- which has gone
into legitimate trade channels OF
Rock Islands business institutions.
The company manufactures mems
clothing and is a concern that was
much sought after by various
chambers Of commerce In the state.
Following close on the heels OF
this institution, the industrial COM
mittee closed negotiations with the
Servus Rubber company, which
will manufacture canvas rubber
soled footwear. Rock Island en-
tered into competition with II cit

The building will be a modern
three-story structure. the main part
of which is 60x3O0 feet, with addi-
tional boiler rooms, vulcanizing

floor area of 59,464 square feet. II
is expected that this building will
be open for use by Feb. /. There
has now been installed a consider
able amount of the equipment and
concrete smokestack 102 feet high
has been completed. This building
will be the first unit of the plant
and will have a daily capacity OF
5000 pairs of finished canvas and
rubber boots and shoes.
In it will be employed in excess
of 500 people. 60 per cent being
men and 40 per cent being women
and there will be a weekly pay roll
in excess of $4,000. The cost OF
the building, with the land and
equipment, will exceed 100000. II

Rock Island banks in the last IL
months have shown increasing
financial strength, following the
depression Of 1921 and the uncer-
tainty which prevailed well into
the current year in commercial
life. CoQs0lidated report OF four
Rock Island banks gave evidence
OF the Improvement Of conditions
both in business life and in the de-
posits of individual savers.
The banks are entering the new
yea- in a better. condition than ex-
listed when January ushered in
1922 and careful study Of the con-
solidated report is basis for Opti-
mistic view for the forthcoming
months. Bankers, too. feel this
turn in the tide from the business
depression of two years ago, and
while the situation is one which
does not adjust itself overnight
they are conscious of betterment
in financial conditions in every sec-
ton of the city.
Most notable of the items Of the
report is the increase in deposits
of nearly a million dollars-$9i3,-
153-which although it doesn't wipe
out the decrease noted the year be-
fore, a decrease which came
swiftly upon the depression Of that
period, is sign of Improvement.
That year forced the smaller and
Individual depositor to make
heavy drain upon his savings. He
incurred obligations then which
made first call upon his income,
even after commercial conditions
had stabilized and were on the up
grade. 1t was not expected that he
could regain the funds which he
expended for necessary expenses
but the growth in deposits has
been gratifying one.
There have been few changes In
banking circles during the year.
The younger institutions have rap
idly taken a place in the CONNER
cial circles OF the community.
There have been no changes in the
capital stock of the various insti-
tutions.
Surplus and undivided profits
have built up a reserve which this
year passed the million mark. De-
posits reached total Of $12,564. $50
as against $11,557,712 a year ago.
and $f2,33S,249 in 1920. That year
had seen a remarkable Jump in de-
posits. amounting to more than
81 ,0O0. 600 over the 12-month period

VALENTINE.
crosscut Expected to Reach the Vein

Crosscut Expected to Reach the Vein
in About $50 Feet.
Work started last Friday in extend
ing a crosscut on the Valentine which
is expected to reach the vein within
$50 feet at a depth from the surface
of about 200 feet. The crosscut is
now in $50 feet and is following "A
stringer from to 6 inches wide which
carries considerable lead-silver ore.
The vein on the surface has been ex-
posed for quite a long distance by
prospect shafts and open cuts in all
of which there are good showings of
ore and giving unmistakable evidence
of commercial ore when a little more
depth is attained. Under these circum-
stances the progress in the crosscut
now being run is being watched with
much interest and those familiar with
the property express much confidence
that a body of ore will be found when
the vein is reached. The company has
completed financial arrangements for
carrying on the work. The Valentine
is situated about or 6 miles north
Of Deborgia joining the Silver Rock
property formerly known as the Rock
Island.
