sHAD FISHING SEASON ENDS
Season Was One of Poorest in Recent
Years Due to Cold, Rainy Spring

Season Was One of Poorest In Recent
Years Due to Cold, Rainy Spring
The shad fishing season which has
come to a close has been the poorest in
recent years. On some days the shad
catch was good but there would be
days at a stretch when ten or dozen
would be the limit per boat. Some of
the fishermen hung up their nets when
the season was about half over and
looked up other jobs. The shad sea-
son officially closed Sunday, June 10th
but as that date fell on a Sunday, the
season ended on Saturday at noon. For
the first week or so Of the sturgeon
fishing there were several of the big
fish caught but during the past week
or ten days there has been very little
doing. The weather all during the
season has been unfavorable for fish
ing. The frequent rains and the cold
weather, undoubtedly, had consider
ably to do with the poor catches.

DELAWARE STRAWBERRY CROP
ABOUT REACHING SEASON PEAK
PRICES WHICH HAVE BEEN LOW
ARE NOW GETTING BETTER
Motor Trucks on Boulevard Do a Big
Business, Some Drivers Transport
ing Berries Over 500 Miles Distant

The strawberry crop in Delaware is
rapidly approaching its peak. Up to
last Wednesday about 100000 crates
of berries had gone forward to market
to say nothing of the berries shipped
by refrigerator cars from Selbyville
and other points in lower Delaware.
So far the prices have been ruinous to
the Delaware growers, due to the fact
that Delaware berries were competing
with Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky,
Missouri, North Carolina, Indiana and
one or two other middle western stat
es. Bue the crops in these states are
about finished with the exception of
Maryland, so that there is every indi-
catino from this time on that the de
mand for Delaware strawberries will
increase. Crates containing 32 quarts
of berries this wek could be bought
for the cost of the crate and picking
amounting to about S1.51. Some fancy
varieties brought two to three dollars,
but there were not great many of
these Buyers have been active at all
the important berry stations, but the
demand and the overstocked condition
Of the city markets kept the price
down. With the supply more limited
the farmers hope to be able to do a
bit better than break even. The
weather which slowed up the crops
from the southern states, is largely
responsible for the berries flooding the
market at almost one time. The chief
competitors for Delaware now are the
states of Maryland and New Jersey.
Many Berries Go Into Cold Storage
Most Of the big growers have put
the berries into cold pack casks. Sew
eral hundreds of these 600-poung bar
rels have been going forward to cold
storage houses in Wilmington and
| Philadelphia daily This new indus
| try for lower Delaware means that
hundreds Of persons, chiefly women
and children have found employment
in picking the feathers" from mil
lions Of berries daily for the cold pack
/ product. Packed between layers Of
granulated sugar and then sealed air
| tight, these berries will be used next
winter, but the only ones able to re-
sort to this means Of obtaining higher
prices eventually for the berries are
the packers, able to wait for then
financial returns. Selbyville is about
the largest berry section In Delaware
and here the practice Of selling ber-
ries at auction j. being utilized. This
is a big convenience for the farmer
The buyers inspect the berries as the
farmer arrives from his farm, anC
when bought the farmer receives 2
slip showing the money he Is entitled
to. This method is believed by many
to be better than awaiting handling
by commission houses. Under thi!
arrangement the commission house
depends entirely upon its buying brok
er in the field and the farmer has ;
chance to get a square deal.

the meat reaching the local market,
