Rise in Strawberry
Prices Anticipated
Ry the Associated Press


PRINCESS ANNE, Md, May 16.-
Faced with reports indicating the
smallest strawberry crop In 40 years.
the local auction block made final
preparations to open its second sea-
son today on the old high school
grounds.
Farmers near Marion. center of
the Eastern Shore strawberry crops,
reported that only recent rains had
saved their plants from near
destruction.
Present prices are below a year
ago-moSt local sales to date having
been made at a 81 average. This Is
believed caused by dry weather In
North Carolina and by the small
berries here due to dry weather.
However, local farmers expect the
small size of the crop to drive prices
sharply upward in the next few
days.
