The world's attention to tho Hood river val ley was first called by tho excellent . strawberries it w.is shipping. That was nearly 20 years o. Shipments have Keno as far us China and England, and have reached there In good condition. Tho first shipment consisted of but a few crates, and was sent by tho David son Fruit company or this city, now ship pers In carload lots For several years nast shipments of strnwbeirles from this city have totuled from 75,1)00 to 100,000 crates each year and as high as seven and eight cars have been shipped la a slnglo day. Shipments from the valley this season. It Is ex pected, will amount to at least "fi.OOO crates, which will be u little In excess or Inst year's shipment. Strawberries raised In tho United States that como Into competition with theso shipments are grown In Missouri, Arkansas and Colorado. Uerrles grown elsewhere are either marketed before the Hood lUver berries aro ripe or ufter tile Hood Itlver berries are ofr tho maikei. It Is expected that shipments will go foiward this year as early as May 20, and In view of the fact that tho heavy frosts In the middle west have cut down tho berry crop for this ear, It Is expect ed they will bring n very high price. The strawberry situation In the cast points to a heavy crop, but this does not affect the beirles grown in this section. Joroplilno County. OHANTH I'ASS. May 11.
