Hood Rlvor.
HOOD HlVKIl, Or., liny 11. 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. Grants Pass
this morning received tho first straw
beriles to bo grown In .To.sephlnc" county.
The berries were fine ones and came
from tho A. K. Nlckeruon ranch, seven
miles from tho city on tho Applegate.
.Mrs. Nlckerson states that. they will
gathor 10 crates from 1111 acre of plnnts
and the product Is better this spring
than ever before.
Other fruit on tho ranch Is coming
ahead In fine slmpo and consists of rasp
berries, peaches, apples and pears.
