Strawberry Producfiop Is. Over Million And Half Mark

Prince Edward Island this year has harvested the largest crop of strawberries in lts,history accord- ing to figures compiled by the Fruit and Vegetable Branch of the Federal Department of Agricult-

u”l"rom some 425 acres under cult- ivation well over a million and a

half lbs. of berries have been pro-'

cessed. The Charlottetown and Mount Stewart Exchanges to- gether processed 012.000 lbs. The

- fruit was also handled at Sourls. Montague, Kensington and Sum- merslde. .

The weather this season -has been very favorable for the grow- ing of strawberries. This. along

withan increasedacreage is re-

sponsible for the large crop. The

largest ever harvested in any pre- vious-year was 900,000 lbs.

It is reported that the cold stor- age facilities on the Island have been taxed to capacity and large quantities had to 'be shipped to Moncton. Halifax and Sydney for storage.

The prediction is made that when all growers are able to plant the virus free plants the production collld easily be doubled.

PITTSBURGII (AP)-The basic steel industry, backbone of Amer- ican fndustrlal might. roared back today toward full production under an unprecedented three- year no-strike contract. . The five-week walkout of -050.- 000 members of the Unlied' Stel- workers was declared officially ended Sunday night when the last major compan signed a contract. Last to sign was Armco Steel Cor. Three other big firms signed the pact earlier in New York Sun- day. They were Al any-Ludlum Steel Corp.. Inland Steel and Youngstown Steel, and Tube Co. An estimated 25 per cent of the 850,000 strikers were back on the job today." By the end -of the week all of them are expected to be on the payroll for the first timelsince July 1. But it will be 10 days to three weeks, , depending on the companies until full production is achieved. It's a long. costly pro- cess to get a steel mill producing after a long shutdown.
