Others Have Been Plowed In

The strawberry season is practically
at an end i'm Southern Delaware, and
the growers will do we'll TO break
even on the 1923 crop. At first the
growers were very much discouraged,
as the berries We're only bringing from
S2.25 per 32-quart crate, but as the
season advancedfancy berries brought
from S. to So per crate. To get the
berries picked the growers were COM
PEELED to pay 3 cents per quart. and in
sCme instances, 3l2 cents. The crates
and baskets cost 60 and 65 cents TAX
ing the cost of picking, cost Of crates
and baskets, cost of plants. and the
fertilizer and work put on the berries,
the growers are al loss TO know how
they made anything on this seasons
crop. Another thing that was much
against the growers was the lack of
help i'm picking the berries. TO say
nothing of the drouth which has pre-
vailed ever since the first berries were
brought to the market During the
first week some of the farmers he
came so discouraged that whole fields
of Strawberries We're ploughed up and
the land set to some other crop. There
were instances where fine patches of
berries had to go to waste for want
of pickerS, and the owners turned the
patches over to the public to go get
all they wanted. Many families avail
ed themselves of the opportunity to
get the berries for the picking of them
making them up into preserves and
