HANDLING N. 5. BERRY CROP —An interesting example of co-op- eratlon between business and agri- cultural interests is given in the New Glasgow Evening News, which com- mends the action of a New Glasgow firm in assisting the farmers of East and West Pictou in marketing their strawberry crops. The firm made arrangements with the growers‘ co- operative to take delivery at their farms of the entire yield this season and contracted with over twenty farmers to take their entire crop. They have been promised 100 per cent support from the three largest wholesale fruit distributors in Cape Breton. In the course cf this month the firm expects to handle about $20,000 worth of strawberries. The move is commended by the New Glasgow paper as one “in the right direction, relieving the berry grow- ers alike of the trip to town nearly every day during the berry season and at the same time eliminating the hawking from store to store with every likelihood of the price crumbling before the berries were placed.” "If successful with strew- berries,” it is suggested, “why can- not it be applied to potatoes, vege- tables, etc/l“
