tirowiwr District of In County
Fields of Strawberries
Caksy, June 2i. Haker'a prairie, on
which tli city of Canny is located is now a
veritable strawberry patch. The acreage
this j-ear is not so large as usual, but the
growers are planting new fields. Many
tields were plowed up last fall on account of
the age of the vines. Strawberries should
be reset every third or fourth year to secure
the best results There are hundreds of
pickers here now trying to take care of the
immense quantities of berries now ripe
Among the prominent growers ol sirawber
re A. J. Cox with about JO acres, A.Young
live acres, D. V. Howard 12 acres, 0. W.
Shank two acres, Fred Hampton five acres,
W. W. Weed one acre, beside many others,
aggregating about 75 acres In all Toe va
riety most favored and most prolific is the
Wilson. The Sharpless and Yick's are also
favorite varieties, the last two being prefer
able for table use, as they are not so sour as
the Wilson.
Strawberry short cake and strawberries
and cream are no luxuries in Canby. The
strawberry here is a sure bearer and a source
of no small revenue to the growers. Many
(rowers are anxious to get hands to pick
for berries. The picker can get one box on
the vines for picking two for his employer;
or be can go to the Meld this week and pick
them for 2 cents a box of one pound each,
and have all he can eat thrown in.
