ing sheds, where practically each one
is handled separately. Both the "a
pint Hallock crate and the 24-pint
ventilated crate have been used in
packing the fruit, although during the
past few seasons there has been a con-
siderable decrease in the use of Hal
locks crates, which are known locally
as coffin crates. Practically all grow
ers are now using ventilated crates, as
berries shipped in such containers ar
rive at market in sound condition and
usually command a premium over the
price paid for berries in non-ventilated
crates.
Trains of Strawberries.
Fully 80 per cent of the marketed
crop is shipped by express, the rail
road company providing two or three
express fruit trains daily. These trains
run on a schedule of 40 miles an hour,
which puts the fruit on the Chicago
market before daylight the second
morning. Less than carload ship
ments are cared for by the express
company, which operates local iced
cars to pick up small shipments. The
growers have good transportation ia
cilities, deliveries are prompt, and few
instances are known where cars have
not arrived at destination on time.
Strawberry buyers from the large
consuming markets establish head
quarters at Hammond during the mar
keting season, sales being made on
cash f. o. b. shipping point basis. The
fruit is inspected at shipping point
and acceptance taken before the cars
move. At Ponchatoula all cars are
sold at public auction.
Several strawberry preserving plants
in the district utilize overripe and soft
stock in the preparation of fruit for
the ice cream and soda fountain trade
in northern cities.
Perhaps the principal reason for the
prosperity enjoyed by Louisiana's
berry growers is that they keep them
selves closely informed upon day-to-

One Kind of Timber Will Last as Long
as Others if Amount of Heartwood
Is the Same.

Is a split fence post as durable as
a round fence post? This is a question
frequently asked of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The fact
is, says the forest products laboratory,
one kind of post viii last about as
long as the other if the amount of
heartwood is the same in both. But if
the percentage of sapwood is in
creased by splitting, the split post will
be less durable and if the percentage
of heartwood is increased. it will be

GROWTH OF STRAWBERRY INDUSTRY.
DUE TO INTELLIGENT MARKETING

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricu!ture.)
Within six years Louisiana has
taken first place among the states as
regards value of strawberry produc-
ton. The 1921 season was the best
ever known in the industry, 1,400 car
loads Of Louisiana berries being mar
keted in IA cities in the United States
and Canada. In Chicago the 24-pint
crates brought as much as $3.50 each,
and during practically the entire mar
keting season Louisiana strawberries
sold at higher price than any other
berries on the market, due to the
high quality of the product.
With such a record of achievement,
much interest centers in the opening
of the 1922 marketing season. As
heretofore field station of the United
States Department of Agriculture will
be maintained in the Hammond dis
trict during the season TO keep pro-
ducers and shippers informed daily of
strawberry marketing conditions in the
principal consuming markets, prevail
ing prices, carlot shipments from COM
peting areas, and other marketing data
essential in the scientific marketing
of agricultural products, and granted
favorable conditions the 1922 season
should surpass even the 1921 record.
Nationwide Distribution.
The Louisiana strawberry industry
is of national Importance. The crop
has nationwide distribution, the car
lot shipments spreading out like
fan from the Atlantic coast to the
Rocky mountains Last year % car
loads also went to four cities in Can
ada. Chicago is the principal market
for the fruit, Detroit, Boston, Pitts
burgh and New York ranking next in
the order given. Heat, cold and
distance-marketing obstacles that
seemed insurmOuntable a few years
ago-have been overcome by the grow
ers and shippers, and with continued
careful selection, grading, packing and
shipping, marketing experts say that
the industry will enjoy increasing
prosperity
During the early years of the straw
berry industry in Louisiana several va
rieties of berries were grown, and Chi
cago was the main market outlet. To-
day the Klondike variety is grown ex-
clusively, and Louisiana strawberries
have a wider distribution than the
strawberries from any other section
of the country. The quality of the
fruit is dependable, and there is every

upon being rowed all over the lake

TOO MUCH MANURE INJURIOUS

The claim that too much manure
will burn up the crop is only partly
true. 1t may if it is a very dry sea-

lihood of injury from heavy applica-
ton, if worked in right. Far more corn
has been lost through too little than

 At the appointed time the cohorts of Hell assemble in solemn conclave and each one in the audience was in breathless expectation to learn what the Devil (who had announced pre- viously that he was to be the sole judge m the contest) would consider the most diabolical deed.
