STRAWBERRIES
 READY TO SHIP
Season To Open In Castle
 berry Next Week

CASTLEBERRY Ala, April 12.- Especial Leased. Wire. .J-Movemen oi 1924 strawberries to the markets of thc north and east will begin next week Growers are generally agreed that the first carlot will go forward either next Friday OF Saturday, barring unfavor able weather conditions between now and then. There has been talk of the three local shipping associations com. bining their shipments for the first feR days to expedite the beginning of the carlot movement, and this plan may be resorted to.
 There is a divergence of opinion con corning the size of the coming crop Some predictions are made that the yield will compare faverably with the 1923 production, while more conserva- tive growers do not look for that rec ord of 292 cars to be equalled. The figure reached will depend for the most part on the yield in the great straw berry sections of Louisiana and Ten nessee, with which the local berries come in competition on the big mar kets, and the time these other berries OSEOmt Etaug IDf tuc mdEkel. II D four weeks season is enjoyed, the local production record may tumble.
 On one point, however, there is gen eral agreement, that the 1924 straw berry will eutrank it's predecessors ir regard tc ,ss=!:ty. Aauiching with pine straw has proven extremely beneficial, and though troublesome and expensive has been practiced with almost unanimity, This extra expense in time and Ihoney will be compensated for by increased financial returns per crate.
 The sale last week of five acre crop of local strawberries at $200 per acre has served to awaken outsiders and local people as we'll, to a new realiEa- ton of the importance of the industry. The trade was between George w. Mar tin, farmer, who sold them, and D. A. White, merchant, who bought them. There are other fields in this section much more promising as to yield than this one, experienced growers declare.

STATE TERMINALS
 TO ACCOMMODATE LARGEST SHIPS
Swamp Lands To Be Con- verted Into Center
 Of Commerce

MOBILE, Ala, April 12.-(Special Leased Wire. )-An idea of the magni- tude of the plans of the state dock commission for construction of port facilities on Mobile river, between One and Three Mile creeks, is shown in the reproduction of plan No. l, the def mite approval of which is conditioned upon the commission being able to get river front and back property at ''reas sonable values" The plan shows ? net work of slips, modern warehouses railroad tracks, paved road to connect with a street into the city, and almost every conceivable facility for the han ding of material destinged to or from Mobile. The picture above gives faii idea of what will make up the port d Mobile. capable ef hss:sS1il;;ias Sf of the largest ships, when it is finally com. pleted. The docks commission has said that the swamp land, now of little or no value to owners; can be made the most thriving and active scenes in the city, provided reasonable Values'' are fixed by the owners.
 The section between One and Three Mile creeks, along Mobile river, is said by the docks commission members to he "storm=preof," and can be a safe refuge in time of tropical disturbances. This was said to have been one Uf the main considerations when the commis- sion was seeking place for port fla eilities.
 Now Acquiring Property
 With finishing touches placed on plan No. the docks commission is now deyoting much time to negotiations with individuals and firms owning the prop erty along the river between the two creeks. Hands of the commission mem beFs will be tied until every inch of the land Is in their possession, it was stated yesterday.
 The above plan shows five slips of sufficient length and width to permit the handling of six ships in each slip could be cared for at the same time, provision being made for one vessel at One Mile creek, or near to the pro- left of this drawing. Much has been said by General William L. Sibert, chairman-engineer of the commission, about the one time huge cotton busi- ness done at the port of Mobile, and sHuuAu IL De pOSsIDlc to IeSdlh lue CoI- ton business ample warehouses and g compress would be constructed, as shown just above the storage warehouse at One Mile creek.
 Loading and unloading would be ex- peditiously and economically done, the plan indicates. To the right or left of each slip is shown transit sheds, where all material would be assorted when ships dock to, receive or discharge cargoes. Each slip would be served by proper railroad facilities, tracks run ming from the joint interchange" tracks, as shown in the center of the drawing. Cars of all railroads operat- ing in the city would be concentrated at the joint interchange" tracks, and distributed to either the docks or to the various railroads over which freight would move.
 The jointipterchange proposal is con sidered one of the most important of all phases of the plan. Congestion of freight cars in the business section of the city, 1t is contended, would be practically eliminated by the method proposed by the docks commission.
