Excessive Rains Reduce Ship mentS of Strawberries
 From CaStleberry

Montgomery, April s.-Cspeciai.).- Growers of cabbage for the markets in Alabama are establishing a record this season. The weekly market summary issued today by F. O. Hooton. supervisor of the markets di- vision, shows that cabbage is moving to markets in heavier tonnage than ever before and that there has been an Increase of more than 100 ears up to this time. Excessive rains have reduced the shipments of strawber- ries from the Castleberry section but since the season opened two weeks ago about 30 cars have been shipped from Castleberry.
 Corn is selling for s1 a bushel in some sections of the state where the yield last season was not up to nor nal. The lowest price, which is In the heavy corn sections. is 75 cents bushel. Velvet beans. hay and other feeding products are also advancing fast. Velvet beans have increased in price 50 per cent since the Christmas holidays
 The weekly market summary fol- lows:
 "The following average prices were paid to Alabama farmers for com modities named during the week end ing April &:
 Cotton. middling, 16A cents per pound; cotton seed. $S6 to $40 per ton; peanuts, runners, $7O per toa Spanish. $75 per ton; corn, 90 cents per bushel; velvet beans, SIS to S9O per ton, Johnson grass hay, SIS per ton; peanut vine hay.

 Dollar Corn
 Tt is dollar corn in sections of the state where production was light. and the price may go higher during the crop season. No. 2 western corn is now quoted around 90 cents per bushel delivered to central Alabama points. The lowest price quoted this week as being paid to farmers in the heavier corn producing sections of the state was 75 cents per bushel.
 "0ther feeding products are going higher, such as velvet beans, cotton seed, and all varieties of hay, and 1t is difficult to locate these products in car lots throughout the producing sections. Velvet beans have almost doubled In price since the Christmas holidays. and there is 50 per cent gain in hay prices. In fact, all feed stuffs have reached higher levels.
 Alabama cabbage is moving 10 market in heavier tonnage than a year ago. The shipping records show an increase of more than 100 cars over the same season last year. About 30 cars of strawberries from the Castleberry section have been shipped since the opening of the season two weeks ago. This move ment is somewhat less than year ago for the same season due to the excessive rains during March. The first berries were not up to standard, but they will likely improve in quail ity with more settled spring weather. Very few mixed vegetables have been shipped from the state up to date"

 Then she heard them whimpering softly Silently cautiously sre stole along toward the place that whimper- ing came from. Then her heart gave a jump. There were the two terrible creatures that ha frightened heri Then she recognized them and with a growl of anger she step. ed out to face them. It is no wonder she had not recognized them when she first saw them. They had come straight from Farmer Browns sugar house. and were covered from head to foot with syrup. The flour which they had spilled over themselves had stuck, making their coats white in patches. In their frantic haste to get away from Farmer Browns boy they had fallen more than once and rolled oyer and over in the dead leaves. The leaves had stuck to them from their heads to their heels. They had been in too much of hurry to stop to pull them off. That is why Mother Bear had not recognized them when they came rushing down the hill
 The instant they saw Mother Bear they ran toward her. whimpering and crying. Mother Bear wasted no time. With her big paws she spanked first one and then the other until they squalled at the top of their lungs, but they didn't run away. A spanking from Mother Bear was bette than the terrible fright they ha had
 Between whimpers they told Mother Bear where they had been and all the things that had happened "Didn' tell you not to go over there 2, growled Mother Bear.
 "Yes'm," whimpered Woof Woof.
 "Yes'm," whined Boxer.
 Didn't I tell you those men crea- lures are not to be trusted and that you can never tell what they will do2'
 "Yes'm,' whined Woof Woaf
 "Yes'm," whimpered Boxer
 Well. it is mercy that you are here at all" growled Mother Bear!

 The stranger and the unknown must Be always looked on with distrust.
 Mother Bear.
 Mother bear had been so busy dig ging roots in damp, soft place near the Laughing brook that she had given no thought to Boxer and Woof Wool She had supposed that they were also digging roots not far away. When she finally went to look for them, of course, she did not find them
 T guess they're not far away" she grumbled. They're big enough to look out for themselves, anyway" So she wasted no more thought on them, but resumed her digging for roots. It was a long time after this that Mother Bear heard a snapping of twigs and a crashing of brush on the hill after her. With a startled snort she threw her head up to look. Rushing straight toward her h. >ad- long down the hill was creature such as she had never seen before. and a little back of it was another just like it. There was no shape to either one of them. They seemed to be brown and white chiefly.
 One look was enough. Mother Bear whirled and took to her heels Now, bear in a hurry can travel very fast. and Mother Bear was sn a hurry. There was no vne in all the Green Forest of whom Mothe Bear was afraid, excepting man when he chaced to come that way. But these creatures were unknown. She could hear them following her, and this added to her fright. Yes, sir, Mother Bear certainly was frightened
 At last she could no longer hear anyone following Il. Then she stopped. WheI she stopped she b - came a little ashamed of having run away without finding out wkat she was running from. Her curiosity was aroused. Walking as silently as O l,
