Strawberries Theme At Kiwanis Lunch Berries Can be Grown Locally at a Profit Say Those Who Have Had Experience—Profit in Setting Di rect and in Canning in Various Ways—25 Acres Atready in Her. rjes and 35 More Pledged. EXPECT TO INCREASE LOCAL ACREAGE TO AT LEAST 100 Strawberries were discussed at the Kiwanis tunch at the Lorraine Tues day, gastronomically and with reiish by the entire company and as a pro fitabie berry to grow and put up in preserves and jam by Miss Max An drews, county home agent. Mr. K L. Hamiiton, manager of the Green Val )ey dairy farm, Mr. O O. Dukes, county farm agent, and Dr. it. S. Hearn. It takes 100 acres planted in ber ries to make the raising of them a profitable venture far a community, and Mr. Dukes stated tiiat there are 25 acres in berries around Lumber ton now and 35 additional acres have been piedged. He thinks the number wili be increased to 100. June and July are tie months to plant Mr. Hamilton, who has bandied more buries than any other local man, both berries from his own farm and from the Green Valley dairy farm, and who has been putting up berries on a considerable scale, as stated in Monday's Robesonian, was ti e principal speaker. He has been growing berries for the past 3 years, shipping to the Northern markets, he and Dr. Beam selling also to near by ice cream factories. V\*hen he was advised after one of his shipments that i.is berries reached the market in such a ripe state that they had to be sold for preserving purposes he at once got the idea that it would he better to preserve them himself than to sell them up North and then perhaps buy them back later in jars, so he began putting them up in jam. That is, he began doing that when the market got weak. Smaller berries -an he canned profitably all during the season, ie said,,greater profit be ing made in shipping only the larger berries, and during the latter part of the season all the berries can be put up profitably. If a farmer can grow strawberries at a profit, he said, and sell to an ice cream company, he can make more money canning them. He said that a local cannerSr could pay $4 a crate for berries and make a satis factory profit. He shipped $1,233 worth of berries during the past sea son. Dr. Hearn, syho a!so has been rais ing berries fop the pat three years, is enthusiastic .about the possibilities of raising them profitabiy. He said that a normal crop aiways pays, even under ti.e added expense of ex press and toss in shipment. Miss Andrews confined her re marks to the canning end of the in dustry. White agreeing with Mr Hamitton about putting up jam, she said the berries can be saved in oth er ways, in jetty and preserves. She exhibited beautifui samptes of each She urged the importance of putting up a standard product. She thinks there is no timit to the possibitity of disposing of strawberry preserves, put up in tubs or buckets, to colteges and other institutions. Mt Dukes said he has been -try ing for the past 2 or 3 years to get enough farmers interested in raising strawberries to make it profitabie ioca'iiy, and the interest is greater now than it has been before. Two meetings have been heid recentiy and 3b acres aiready have been piedged for next year. These, with the 25 ai !eady planted, make 60 acres, and hc ti inks 100 acres can be secured. He said that sometimes business men discourage ventures of this kind by unthoughtedly expressing an adverse opinion to some farmer after he has been converted to the idea by the farm agent, and made the reasonable request that business men of tite town refrain from throwing coid water on any proposition that, pro perly fostered, wiil result in profit to the farmers. Mr. Dukes read a list showing the acreage already plant ed to berries in this immediate vicin ity and those who expect to plant, as follows: John John Luni (hose win have berries, and nutn '^"^'ton 7.

"A typical adherent of lost eausi's" was Sir Esme's characterization of ' Flo; a ^ Macdonald in the course of a scholar'y and eloquent address, inj which he paid a warm tribute to tlie . loya; ty of the remarkable woman whose story fids such an interesting page in Anglo-American history. ; Though most of his family were staunch Hanoverians, said Sir Es.no, the house in which he was reared wa hcld by one of its members for King Charles 1. During the war for inde pendence its owner was an Ameri an sympathizer and named two of his farms "Putnpm" and Jefferson." Quoting the language of its in scription, he declared that the stone was "yet another link between Brit ain and America," and stated that King George said to him when tho\ last talked together, "great hope .im in good feeling between Engiand ano America."
