"Once more a bumper crop of straw. berries has been produced by the truck gardners of the Waco and Bybee sections of the county. The berries of 1928 are much larger, firmer and of better flavor than for many years...While strawberries are a staple and profitable crop in the eastern sections of Madison county the acreage has been greatly decreased this year due to the poor yield of the last five years. Most of the berries are being sold locally and by truck in Lexington and Winchester, Jerry Kaylor, Pleas Conner, William Cain and others near Waco are keeping up a large acreage, but the small growers, who raised strawberries as side line have dropped out." |
