Mount Olive, April 30—Mrs. Bettie Jones, who lives about two miles northwest of town, was first on the market with a crate of strawberries this spring. She brought in a crate Wednesday morning, which sold to Messrs. English and Oliver for $10 Thursday she again was the only one to bring a crate, for which she received $9.
The cool weather has held the season back several days, but from now on daily, shipments will probably be made, increasing in volume till the limit of the yield for the acreage is reached.
Reports from points down the line to Wallace say the prospects for a fine yield are excellent and that the market is holding up well—from $7 to $9 per crate. Three carloads were shipped from Wallace Monday.
