STRAWBERRY ACREAGE

Preliminary acreage reports for
strawberry acreage for 1881
shows a decrease in all areas with
the exception of the late group
which includes Washington crops
as far as the later sections in the
states are concerned. The lower
Yakima Valley crop is marketed
with the intermediate group where
the decrease has been an appro-
pirate 40 percent decrease since
the high year of 1928. Within this
group there is even a decrease of
nearly 10 percent over last year
and a decrease in the state which
is our main competitor.
In the outlook report at the
Horticultural schools, Mr.. Bregger
pointed out that strawberries, par
ticularly for our section, looked
like the one real rosy enterprise.
Considering drought conditions IN
the East with the good conditions
of our berries to date, it looks as
though those who have berries
to market this year should have
a very good outlet. While some are
raising the questions as to what
purchasing power may have to do
with berries, we rather question
whether this will have such a
great effect upon the more or less
limited crop.
While we do not advise very
rapid increase of large paintings
it does look as though those who
are growing berries may be able

Have you noticed around school

first glance appear to be out of
proportion? Then you take a good
look, and-Oh, sure that is, but
what is that on his upper lip? Ho,

brow. Yea, and look at those side
burns, aren't they pippins? Then

House of David, or if they're just
economizing on shaving cream.
Maybe we are going back to the
age of boards, black cigars, and
brown derby hats.

AMONG US

Surprises are not rare in school.
One day walking down the hall
was big loose-jointed boy. His
legs were as long as the rest OF
him. Asking further, / learned that
he was Joe Hatch.
Joe's name is slightly shortened,
His real name is Joseph Austin
Hatch. We are wondering if the
vest pocket ear was named for
him or he for the car.
Joe seems to have started his
existance about Is years ago in
Harlan, Montana. He came here
with no intermediate stops.
Joe is taking the scientific course
with English, science and mathe-
mates as majors and French and
shop as the required minors.
Along with his activities comes
his hobby. 1t must be radio the
way things are strung around at
his home.
# His two letters are from foot
ball. He played center, and what
a center, at the beginning of last
season. He belongs to the Sigma
club also.
Hatch is six feet, one inch and
weighs about 1872 pounds, and (con-
trary to tradition) his shoes are
smaller than Boyd Rupp's.

valley farmers spent two days and
went home with a feeling that it

cuss the problems they are inter
ested in solving.
These farmers conferences have
been held for "a number of years
in, Spokane and Tacoma and was
started last year at Yakima, and
have proven to the farmers thru
out the state that they can get
much more out of an informal dis

groups than they can from listen

from experts who may not have
the practical experience of putting
their theories into practice on the
Yakima Valley farm.
