A year ago a farmer near Salem planted an acre of strawberriesonsome $2()-an-acre land . A few days ago a man from Dayton, Oregon," wanting to get into strawberry growing offered him $300 for the acre o! strawberry vines. He refused to take )t, and he will get his first full crop next year. Last season's yield was only a "ba by crop" and was small in quantity. This gives a little idea of the wonderful pos sibilities of strawberry growing in Will amette valley. They have so far been on ly touched upon. There is scarcely a litfi it to the chance for the development of markets for our berries, especially when a specialty is made of fruit suitable for can ning (or bottling). These should eventu ally go out - of the Willamette valley to all parts of the world in car load lots. Statesman.
