Local Strawberry Harvest Was Small—ls Now Ended.

Will Coen, who last year purchased of N. S. Bates the land on which Mr. Bates had his strawberry patch, has completed the 1913 harvest, or practically completed it, although there will be a few berries for several days. The crop was greatly reduced by the late frosts and Mr. Coen reports that only about‘l,ooo quarts were havrested, whereas the patch is large enough to produce about 5,000 quarts any ordinary season. The price at. retail for berries here was 15 cents a quart this year.
