STRAWBERRY   STORY   GROWS
r-*u
The Iteeord in ito issue'ot June 17,
made  a  statement  trom   Mr.   Isaac
' Logan that' Mr. John Oraham, who
.resides north of Plora, produced and
Vsold off of 1-6 aere ot ground, this
spring, 1460 worth of strawberries.
As the truth of this statement has
been   called  in  question  by  several
xi^^ee, a rapreseatatlve of The Rec-
OTd interviewed  Mr.   Graham  while
a Flora last Saturday, and requested m to gtve the actual facta. Mr. Oraham aaid "The oniy error in your statement waa -aa underestimate. I produced 110 crates and sold them lar 1457, whicb.4>raught me a net iiotit of IteoV after deducting all uy   expanses   and   after  giving- 14
, crates to the pickers, charging them for theae crates, tbe actual cost of their labor for picking. rAs to the oaantity of land the berries graw on It waa only a fifth of an acra.      I
, know thto to he true becanae my neighbor, Mr. Walter Con, measured the land." This, we hope, will con- ittaca the doubten and knockers. that CUy County has wonderful pos¬ sibilities, not perhaps in com grow¬ ing by the old methods, but it to al¬ most unlimited in possibilities for fVulta-and vegetables, the grasses and alio feed.
Mr. Qraham informs us that he has raised strawberries for more than a quarter of a century, and while he has had small yields and low prices aome yeara, he bas tound his berry erops sattotactorily profitable, as a rgie. He favora the DanUp and War- field varieties for thto section, plant¬ ed to roira, of Hhlf of eaeh kind, and having them picked wken ripening, from one side of the row each alter¬ nate day.

Springtield, III., June 88, 1980.— "A Fourth of July without fires or accidents. . This Is the gist of an appeal sent to every community In the state today by State ^jj^re Marshal John O. Oamhara*. -.     •'•
"Itlsabsblutaly essentUi that ef¬ forts be made now as never before to conserve - life 1 and ~ property from fire, he states. "Conservation and thrift must replace waate and ax travagance as one of the most nao" esary stepa in a readjustment to Tower price levels.
"Property is being burned at tbe rate of one million dollars a day In the United States and one million aqd a quarter dolUra a month In Il¬ linois. Fifteen thousand peraons die from buras every year in tlie nation.
"Every bouse buraed contributes that muoh to the acute shortage of homes in the community at a time prohlbitl/e prices ara praventing new construction from catching up with serious, Immediato needs. Uvr.ry mercantile stock destroyed adds to the unbearable burden of high prices. Every life lost, every penon maimed, is an economic drain.
'Though the mora dangerous fire¬ works are now prohibited in most communities, danger exists in every firecracker and «viry piece of flra works.
Experience Is altogether agdin-U their use. Wbere tbey are used every precaution should be tsken to pre¬ vent Injury to peraons or fire to property. EspeeUlly should parents keep watch over children.
"Proper authorities will enforce ordinaaees and prosecuto rechless In- divlduato, but the prime need Is In¬ dividual earafttlness and cooperation, which should be willingly and patri¬ otically given.
