Good Price, Poor Crop Seen
For '50 Strawberry Growers
- -' By LUlle
Turm Editor,
With the price really looking
down, strawberry growers in Marion county reported Monday morn
ing as they and their help turned out in droves to attempt a battle
with the weeds."
The weather has been so that
be accomplished. In some of the
more rapidly and there are a few.
comparatively weed-free fields in
the valley, But in large areas the
soil has continued so wet that
work on it was almost Impossible.
Over the I week-end, Sunday in
cluded, large numbers of work
ers were in the fields pulling, hoe
ing and otherwise trying to rid the ;
strawberry rows of weeds which
were robbing the - plants of fod
and later moisture, as well as
making the future picking un
pleasant ,
Growth! of strawberry plants
themselves has not been as rapid
ly as in many years, although the
plants came through the heavy
winter in a very good condition.
Had weather been favorable suf
ficiently early, the crop would
have, been bumper this year, Sil
verton Hills and Scotts Mill grow
ers were .reporting Monday. The
snow, in many areas, seemed more
beneficial; than otherwise. ,
On the valley floor, the first
blooms were caught badly by the
late frosts. While not injured quite
so severely In the hills, where
blooms are later, many6 growers
there, top , reported - frost-killed
blossoms, i In areas around Scotts
Mills, considerable frost damage
was reported. But later blooms are
heavy- and if the weather clears
sufficiently to permit proper care
without drying up the fields too
rapidly, a fair crop will yet be
realized although not so large as
at first anticipated.
Reports from canning and
freezing companies indicate the
price will be around 18 to 20 cents
a pound.! The hold-over is negli
gible this year and crops in cer
tain -strawberry sections, which
frequently furnish considerable
processed fruit, are , reported as
not bebig "too plentiful
It is Recalled in valley towns
that local berries have been on
the market as early as May 12,
Growers said Monday that it "will
be quite some time later this
year, although a bit of warm
weather may bring on the crop, in
early sections here, toward the
last of this month.
