Wilmington, March 20—Several million dollars are expected to pour into this section within the next two months as a result of the lettuce, strawberry and truck crops that will be marketed within that period.
The strawberry crop will likely start moving within two weeks, and the lettuce crop is expected to move a week later. The fact that the South Carolina lettuce crop has already started moving is taken as a good indication that the North Carolina crop, the weather permitting, will be a success, although it is understood that abut 25 per cent of the local lettuce that was planted with killed by unfavorable temperature.
A few baskets of lettuce have already been shipped by local growers, according to J.P. Herring, county farm agent. However, it is expected that it will be fully three weeks before the lettuce movement assumes what may be termed regular proportions.
