Saturday R. Johnson harvested
the first of his strawberry crop
for this year, bringing four boxes
to Maupin. Owing to cold weath
er they have been very slow
ripening, but yesterday after
noon he brought in thirteen more
boxes of fine ones, and says there
will be lots of them next week.

frosts, which, while so effective
elsewhere, have done very little
damage on their place. He pre
sented us with three nice boxes
of the luscious fruit.
