Strawberries are a profitable crop, 

 and the largest monetary truck crop 

 grown in this section and from which 

 the farmers derive the largest revenue. 



A dearborn load of eight crates sold 

 at one of our auction blocks was struck 

 off at S8.55 per 32 quart crate or 

 §68.40 for the load. Maryland ranks 

 second in strawberry production in the 

 United States.
