AUG. 7 1956 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. i strawberry ax- chaogse and the Central Farmer's cooperative all of the berries were .- either ya or -marketed. Growers s "ived an average of I)" eta. per lb. making a total in- come 3311.000, a profitable aide- line for many farmers. 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. It is understood that the straw- Mrry acreage in the Province-for next year will be somewhat under However some 35 acres of virus free strawberry plants have been let out this year and horticultur- lats believe that the yield from these should be substantially higher than from the regular phnts. The prediction is made that when all growers are able to plant the virus free plants the production collld easily be doubled. that of the immediate past season.
