N. j. STRAWBERRY
CROP BEING GATHERED
Early Fruit, Saved BY Last Week
OF Rain

vi ndtu
The seasons crop of strawber-
ries has been saved by the time
ly rains of last week. The very
earliest of the Jersey berries are
now being gathered-more than
two weeks behind schedule as a
result of the cool spring.
While the acreage of strawber-
ries has been reduced, due to I'M
satisfactory crops and markets
during the last few years, there
are enough large patches left to
supply all home demands and pro-
vide fruit for shipment to the me-
tropolitan markets.
Strawberries grown under irr-
igation r ahead of the regular
varieties, which have been held
back by the dry weather. The
fields got a good soaking last
week, and with occasional show
ers now and not too much hot
weather, growers say that they
should be able to gather almost
a normal yield of berries. The
same showers also revived arid
pastures and assured a continued
supply of fresh milk and cream.
There is a brisk demand for
! strawberries for ice-cream flaw
ors and for preserving, so that
there is NO prospect of any of the
crop going to waste should there
be indications of a glut in the
market.
Southern berries are down to
25 cents a quart, and consumers
are hoping to get the luscious Jer-
sey fruit soon at at least Is cents
a quart, or two for 25 cents.
