ENGLISH FARMERS RIDE
IN MOTORS BY TURNING
TO FRUIT AND BERRIES

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June as.-Many men
who ten years ago were farm
laborers now drive their evn

That sounds like an extract from
q story about California or some
other American state. where farm
ers sometimes make . lot OF money.
But 1t Isn't. 1t is taken from report
of the big profits made in Hamp-
shire, Kent. Lincolnshire and a
few other counties of this old
land by farmers who raise fruits.
particularly STRAWBERRIES. Such
tales are not often heard In
rule, take more delight In telling
tales of woe then of well being.
Giving details of this agricui-
tural prosperity, the report says:
TN one case q man cut up q
fleld of fifteen acres In acre pl9ts
and offered 1t to the laborers lof

strawberries from his one-acre
plot.
"It is not to Strawberries alone
that such men turn their attention.
They make good profits out Of
piums. apples, cherries. goose
berries and currants.
AT tho time of the great agricul-
tural depression Gladstone sug-
gested that farmers should grow
fruit, instead OF corn. His suGges-
ton was received with scorn and
derision by the old-fashioned
farmers. One man, however.
thought the experiment worth try
ing. He has retired with a large
fortune. Hundreds of others hre
