Strawberries Will Have Important Place At Fair The Polk County as one of its attractions strawberries from which Polk county draws its greatest revenue consistent with the acreage planted. Fair will have Strawberries are in demand at attractive prices from November until April and of course can be furnished by Florida only during this season of the year. Prices early in the season, at Thanksgiving and Christmas range above $1 per quart and then gradually drop off in price to not less than 25c per quart at any time. At even the lowest price there is a good profit in ber- ries and the man who can contract his entire crop at 20¢ per quart de- livered at the platform usually shows a good bank account at the: end of the season. The berry grower in the north considers himself lucky if his crop or picking holds out for from three to four weeks, whereas the growers of Polk county begin picking in November and can continue till late in July. Furthermore, with the in- tensive cultivation practiced in the sinzle and double row plantings, the crops are much heavier and of finer quality than those harvested from the matted row as practiced in the north. The matted row, owing to the great number of plants in a row, would appear to give about 20 times as many berries as the rows containing only one or two plants to the foot, but owing to their con- gested growth they very seldom make a large berry and the small | berries they do make are insipid and tasteless as compared with a real Florida strawberry. # The time is now ripe to have early varieties planted, for if get too late the bush will be too small to bear a large number of berries. However, any varieties, set in time wil] be in 20od condition for market and exhi- bition purposes at the time of the fair in February. In order to produce more interest in strawberry culture, the Fair As- sociation is offering some very at- tractive premiums, in fact, more for this exhibit than for any other which will te listed. A premium of $1 for the best quart of Missionaries, Klon- dykes, Aromas, Nie Ohmre, Lady Cannielle and Uncle Sams exhibited each day. This is done so that there shall be a fresh exhibit of bher- ries every day during the week. ’I‘lm above you will note gives a premlum of $5 for each variety. Bopides the individual quart premium there a grand prize of $10 offered for the best exhibit made during the weck, points of winnings to count ag well as other quality features. It there- fore behooves the growers to bring in Iresh berries avery day of all of his or her varieties and thereby stand an excellent chance for the grand prize to he awarded at the end | | of the fair. Owing to unavoidable circum- stances, our premium list has been somewhat delayed getting into print but it will be out the early part of October and it is hoped c(hat every one seeing thesc articles will drop the gecretary, Mr. Edwin R. Schur- man, a postal askinz for a copy as it is the intention to have every grower in Polk county get a copy and if possible show what he is do- ing in truck or citrus fruit. Onr premiums are all of good size in cash besides which we have many special premiums of merchandise and cups which every exhibitor has an equal chance of winning. G. J. LEWELLIN, Superintendent Strawberies.

This count may be considered as final, Mr. Young and his attorney expressing themselves as satisfied with the fairness and accuracy of the count and stating that they had no intention of prosecuting the mat- ter further. The commission was composed of M. F. Hetherington, of Lakeland; W. M. Grier, of Bartow, and A. L. (leveland, of Fort Meade. They dis- regarded entirely the count made by the county canvassing board, ana made a complete count of every vote affecting the treasurer’s race cast in ecach precinct. Separate lists were made of all ballots about which any question whatever might de raised. At the close of the canvass it was found that if the benefit of all the | doubtful ballots claimed by one can- votes over Young. the other were given the contestant "thn result would not be changed. |That the previous count showed a lead of 63 votes for Jones over Young, while the commissioners’ count gave him a margzin of 61 votes —a difference of only 2-—indicates that both counts were pretty accur- ate. The friends of Mr. Werner G. Jones were naturally pleased over the outcome; at the same time all felt sympathy for Mr. Young and his devoted wife, who made such u brave fight for the place. Dickenson ‘& Dickenson, of Tampa, represented Mr. YoYung, while Judge W. S. Preston looked nrtor Mr. Jones' in- terests.
