Peter and Elsie Dykstra sell strawberries at their farm on Highway 21. (photo by Corinne Boyle) Healthy crop and long season please growers With the strawberry season being two weeks ahead of schedule this year, it's been a fairly slow season so far, according to Elsie Dykstra who with her husband Peter has a strawberry patch at R.H. 3 Goderich, north on highway 21. "Due to the early season and the recent cool weather, there haven't been as many picuers in the patch as usual," said Elsie. "Usually the strawberries aren't ready until this Week. when school children are beginn- ing sununer holidays." The Dyksti as have had a good crop this year. "The berries are big and juicy'," com- mented one picker. "We had some last night and they were great. We hardly put ant:sugar on thein. they were Sc) sweet." 'Hopefully this week•will bring warmer weather and enough berries to supply our customers." said Elsie. Customers can pick their own berries for 55 cents a quart or buy them already picked for $1 a quart. The Dykstras have some high school students anal a neighbor picking ber- ries For orde i .. 1':Isic said they usually' get around 50 orders a clay for picked berries during the season. • This u., no. thmi ear crop for the i)skstras' patch un their farm on Highway 21.

"W• e're always able to sell everything out of the patch," said Susan. "There's never anything wasted." The Stalls have had strawberries for five years on their farm five miles north of Goderich on Highway 21. Susan said she figures they should have berries for at least another week. The price for already picked berries has varied through the season but to pick your own the costtis 50 cents a quart. Ray and Florence Holley who own Spr.. ingbank Acres, have found this to be "quite a different year for berries." The Holleys have three acres producing strawberries and this is the second year for picking. • "Quite number of berries ripened early in the season this year but the weather turn- ed cold and when the temperatures drop at night it is like refrigerating the berries and they don't ripen," said Ray. With the longer season this. year, the ber- ries ripen more slowly and the quality' of the berry is very good. said Ray. This four week berry season as opposed to the usual two week season is good for business. - "Our problem has been to have a suffi- c'tent number of berries to -keep customers - satisfied," commented Ray. "There are ac- tually more pickers than we can handle."

They also need to tiro able to oto something about Meir worms. Art. plays. tousle, poster competi- tions and projects can all be productive ways of dealing with their worries, she said "People have the idea that this is out of our hands. that we're not going to affect the peace talks in (;cneya i es, we are anxious but we have to work on the short term goal of replacing fear and hate with something we can live with and share that with our children," she said. She pointed to the three ehlldren who recently made a presentation about their fears to Joe ('lark. Minister of External Af- fairs saying that children can he activists who can accornpltsh things.

By becoming pen pals with people in Russia, we can find out what they're like as people." she said. Another way to protest war is by con- tributing the portion of your taxes spent on the military to Conscience Canada. a group started by a Quaker. Edith Adamson in 1978. Irene Sotiroff presented the workshop on the peace tax, which she says is guaranteed though never tested in Canada's Charter of Rights. When a person decides to contribute the 12.8 per cent of his income tax to Conscience Canada, he should write a letter to the government explaining how his conscience will not allow him to contribute to war or the military. "If a person has made the letter strong enough, the government won't usually ques- tion it but you never really know what it will do. There have been two or three Cases when people's bank accounts have been garnish- ed. " Conscience ('anada will return the peace tax if a person c'annot hold out under pressure from the government to pay. "One roan told me he felt a freedom he'd never felt before after he became a peace taster," she said. Commadore C64 Software 25-50 % off GRANGER'S T.V. LTD• 92 South st.
