GROWTH OF STRAWBERRY INDUSTRY
DUE TO INTELLIGENT MARKETING

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Within six years Louisiana has
taken first place among the states as
regards value Of strawberry produc-
tion. The 1921 season was the best
ever known In the industry, 1.4OO car
loads of Louisiana berries being mar
ketcd In "a 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 Leep pro-
ducers and shippers informed daily of
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.

report of conditions and prices at the
principal marketing centers through
out the country is issued by the local
representative of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. This in
formation is obtained by trained mar
ket reporters 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-
ing paid for berries at the various con-
suming markets, but exactly what
competition may be expected from
other sections shipping strawberries
ment also furnishes daily information
regarding temperature and weather
conditions, so that the necessary icing
and refrigeration can be provided for
the shipments.
The departments station at Ham,
mond was opened in 1915, and was the
first field station established anywhere
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture for the issuance Of mar
ket news reports. Here. in the heart
Of Louisiana's strawberry producing
district, arrangements were first made
to study methods Of packing, ship
ping, and distributing Strawberries in
the United States; to keep growers in
formed of strawberry movements from
other regions, and to inform them daily
of prices and conditions in the lead
ing consuming markets. Hammond
was selected as the location for the
departments first field station because
Of the large proportions that the Louis
lana strawberry industry had attained.
Louisiana then ranked fourth in COM
mercial strawberry Importance. To
day the state ranks second in carlot
shipments.

crop Is shipped by express. the rail,
road company providing two or three
express fruit trains daily. These trains
run on a schedule Of 10 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 0perates 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.
Perhaps the principal reason for the
prosperity enjoyed by Louisiana's
berry growers is that they keep them
selves 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 guam
tity, and that to overstock one mar

piled Is unsound from both an econom-

lot shipments spreading out like a
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 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 wider distribution than the
strawberries from any other section
of the country. The quality of the
fruit is dependable, and there Is every
where demand for the berries. When
picked the berries are carried to pack
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.

THE FAR EAST ARMS
TREATY RATIFIED
Last Two Agreements Affect.
ing China Approved by
Senate.

Washington.-The senate completed
Its part of the arms conference pro
gram Thursday by approving the last
two treaties of the group of seven
submitted to it for ratification.
On the final ratification roll calls
the affirmative expression Of senate
| opinion was all but unanimous Not
a single vote was cast against the Far
Eastern treaty, drawn to guarantee
new bill of rights for China, and there
was only one dissenting voice when
the constitutional advice and con-
sent" was given to the pact for re-
vision Of the Chinese tariff. The to-
tails, respectively, were Sc to 0, and
58 to 1.
The momentum with which the rati-
flcation program was swept to con-
clusion exceeded the expectations of
the administration leaders, who had
not hoped to end the debate before
Friday night. By the days accom-
plishment, the senate set new record
for action, four far-reaching interna-
tional covenants having been ratified
within two days, and six within the
last week
Virtually no difference of opinion de-
veloped over the Far Eastern treaty,
although Senator Borah, republican,
Idaho, expressed a fear that it and
other Far Eastern settlements of the
arms conference might be interpreted
in years to come as giving moral as
sent" to all the acts of aggression that
have been committed in the past in
the Orient. He was among those, how
ever, who voted for ratification.
Over the tariff treaty several sharp
exchanges took place. With Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, senior demo-
crat of the foreign relations commit
tee, and Senator King, democrat, Utah
leading in criticism of American par
ticipation in the fixing of Chinese Gus
toms schedules, Senator King cast the
only negative vote on the ratification
roll call, and Senator Hitchcock left
the chamber and did not vote.
In defense of the treaty, Senator
Underwood, Alabama, the democratic
leader, and a delegate to the arms con-
ference, declared all the powers al
ready were involved in treaties stipu-
lating China s tariff schedules and now
were acting together to ameliorate the
situation so far as practicable.
Final senate action on the treaties
brought to an end a determined cam
paign of the administration leaders
which has kept the senate in recess
from day to day for weeks and has
virtually prevented transaction of leg
islative business since debate began
on the Yap treaty on February 21.
Most of this period was taken up with
the fight over the four-power pact, and
since it's ratification last Friday, the
obstacles in the pathway of quick COM
pletion of the administration program
had faded hourly
compilation of the results of the
on five of the seven treaties the SEN
ate acted with virtual unanimity. The
votes follow:
Yap treaty, 67-22; four-power treaty,
67-27 supplemental four-power treaty,
$50; naval limitation treaty, TAI;
submarine and noxious gas treaty,
10; Far Eastern treaty, $50, and Chi

O,OOO Bushels OF Rye For Cover
Crop Being Planted In
Christian

More than 10000 bushels of rye,
most of which is of the Rosen vari-
ETY., is being used by Christian coun-
ty farmers this fall as seed for COW
er crops that are being planted to
protect fields from erosion and
teaching during the coming winter,
according to r. E. Stephenson, soils
and crops specialist of the College
OF Agriculture, who has just return
ed from a trip to that section of the
state. Despite the fact that Chris
tian county in the past has been one
of the leading wheat producing
counties in the state, the acreage of
cover crops seeded this fall is ex-
pected to exceed that of wheat.
The seeding of cover crops on
land that grew cultivated crops dur
ing the summer just past is now in
full swing in practically every Sec
tion of the state. The Importance

Of this farm practice has been
stressed during the last few years
by the college extension division
with the result that the acreage Of
such crops bids fair to be increased
in many counties of the state dur
ing the present fall.
Christian county farmers believe
that Rosen rye is especially salts
factory as cover crop because of
the vigorous growth which it makes.
They also find that 1t stools out
more than common rye, one bushel
of 1t being equal to one and one
half bushels of white rye. AL
though there are several other crops
that are suited to prevent soil wash
ing and plant food teaching during
the winter, rye is proving to be the
most popular one in Christian coun-
ty. This is especially true where
the crop is to be used for grazing or
turned under in the spring. Many
tobacco, cowpeas, soybean and corn
fields are being seeded to the crop.
In cases where farmers wish to
grow cover crop for grain that is
to be harvested next year, barley is
proving most popular. The yield of
this crop has been around 80 bush
els an acre on land that produced
only seven or eight bushels of wheat
an acre.
Unsatisfactory yields obtained
during the last few years from
wheat, which in the past has served
as cover crop on many Christian
county farms, have caused much Of
the increased use Of rye this year.
Wheat yields as low as seven or
eight bushels an acre were reported
in the county this year with the re-
suit that many farmers were COM
PEELED to take up the growing Of
some other cover crop that would
give more profitable returns.
