ill this section is very favorable. Ship- 

 ments will begin about May 1. The as- 

 sociation IS doing good work in securing 

 better markets, better prices and better 

 feeling among the growers." Mr. Hast- 

 ings reports a steady increase in acreage. 

 Secretary J. C. McKelvy of the Hum- 

 boldt (Tenn.) association writes that 250 

 carloads will be shipped from that point, 

 a decrease from last year, owing to a les- 

 sened acreage. 



The Ozark region of Arkansas is de- 

 veloping a very large interest in straw- 

 berry production, and thirty local associ- 

 ations in that section ship through a gen- 

 eral organization known as the Ozark 

 Fruit Growers' Association. The re- 

 ports of these organizations in the main are 

 encouraging. However, a complaint 

 comes from T. A. Sharp, secretary of the 

 Mammoth Spring (Ark.) Association that 

 Tranportation and private-car-lme com- 

 panies have been getting about all of our 

 profits so far. Of the thirteen cars 

 shipped one season the freight and icing 

 charges were from $160 to $268 per car, 

 and this is more than we can stand and 

 remain in the strawberry business." 



Secretary W. E. Roark of the Ander- 

 son (Mo.) Association writes The Straw- 

 berry of a 40-per-cent increase in ship- 

 ments for 1906 over the preceding year. 

 Fifteen carloads were shipped last season 

 and twenty-five will be shipped in 1906. 

 Net returns last year were $1.20 per crate. 



FROM the WhiteviUe, (N. C.) Cour- 

 ier we learn that Herbert Crowell, an 

 old colored man of that section, has 

 brought out an invention that he calls a 

 strawberry mulcher, consisting of a hood
