retired Thursday night. About o.

he made his home, was awakened by
her fathers heavy breathing. She

BERRY SEASON
is NOW OVER
Last Shipments Made Two
Days Ago First New
Spuds out Tomorrow

The 3-Rivers Growers association
finished shipping strawberries day
before yesterday and tomorrow the
first shipments of early potatoes will
be made. This is an unusual stretch
ing" of these two crops. The berry
season was unusually long this year
and the potatoes are the earliest they
have been for several years.
The opening price on potatoes will
be SIS ton. The first shipments
will be made in lugs but as soon as
the potato skins stop slipping, new,
branded sacks will be used.
But the asparagus season beats
them all. The association is today
shipping on its 73rd pool. Which
means that Kennewick asparagus has
been on the market for 73 days, has
seen the strawberry harvest come and
go, has extended over into the cherry
and potato harvest and is still selling
at $1.75 for 12-pound crate. While
the demand is not large, 1t Tar ex-
ceeds the limited supply. The asso-
citation today had orders for 80 crates
and a supply of only 35 crates.
To date the association has shipped
10000 crates of asparagus, while
those handled by other shippers will
bring the seasons total well above
$4,000 crates. The association has
$4,000 crates of strawberries
and the districts total is approx
mately $4,000 crates or more than so
carloads. More than half of this to-
tai went out in full car lots, the total
full car shipments being 35. Not
all of the berry pools have been clos
ed and the seasons average is not
yet known, but it promises to be very
satisfactory to the growers.
