Strawberry Industry in Montpelier, Tangipahoa and St. Helena Parish,
Louisiana

>From publication "Old Montpelier, 1804, New Montpelier, 1904"
compiled by Inez B. Tate and published by St. Helena Historical
Association, 1993. Reprinted with permission.
Growing strawberries as a case crop in the Montpelier area
began about 1910 - 1912. The boll weevil had effectively destroy-
ed cotton as the main case crop and with the rialroad conveniently
located here, strawberries were a good alternative.
Producing strawberries was a year-long activity and as one
person aptly sais "It takes thirteen months to raise strawber-
ries." As soon as the plants stopped producing berries, the straw
was removed and these plants kept free of grass to produce plants
for next year's crop. The plants were set in November and pine
straw was raked and put around the plants in January and February.
This straw served both as a mulch and as a protection for the berries.
When the berries began to ripen, the entire family was in-
volved. Some picked and the berries were taken to a packing shed
where others graded and "packed" them for the market. The Klon-
dyke was the variety most farmers grew. When the picking was
finished for the day, the farmer took his berries to Montpelier
for sale. There were several associations that handled the ber-
ries. Those remembered are Montpelier Fruit Growers Association
(Mr. Tillery and Mr. W.I. Thompson), J.H. Morgan & Brother,
and another with Lee Harvell, J.M. Tate and Rob Wilson. Farmers
had an unwritten contract with a local association who marketed
his berries through the auction at Hammond. The farmer was sup-
plied fertilizer and other supplies. The association received a
percentage for their services and the farmer paid his bill for
the year.
At the peak of the berry season, as many as five refriger-
ated cars of strawberries would be shipped from Montpelier daily.
Five cars with 750 crates per car for a total of 3,750 crates or
7,500 flats or 90,000 pints or "cups" as they were sometimes
called. Folks, that's a lot of strawberries! Strawberries sold
for about $2.00 a crate.
The roads leading into Montpelier would be "backed up" for
several blocks, filled with farmers bringing their berries to the
market. As the berries were fragile, those farmers who did not
have springs on their wagon, would place their crates of berries
on old bed springs. This protected the berries.
All berries were inspected locally for quality, firmness and
"carrying" ability (shelf-life). Those deemed as #1 received the
top price and berries of inferior quality sold for less. Mr. Dan
Grantham inspected berries. Edward Tate remembers that the in-
spector could turn a cup of berries upside down in his hand to
check the berries and the berries would retain the shape of the
cup and he would never lose a berry.
With "strawberry season" came spin-off jobs that brought
extra cash into the local economy. Edward Tate recalls that he
and his brother, Glenn made Strawberry crates at 1 cent per crate.
Merchants often hired extra workers. Zula Tate Braud worked at
Spence's Store during this time. Traveling entertainment found
its way into Montpelier, too. Silent movies, a radio with extra
large reception - helps in the shape of horns and other carnival-
type entertainment came.
To promote strawberry sales, Hammond held Strawberry Festi-
vals with the first on being held on May 22, 1925 with a parade
of over 80 decorated cars. Representing Montpelier as a "beauti-
ful maid" was Frances George.
In 1938 the Louisiana Farmers Protective Union urged each of
its units to supply a candidate for strawberry queen. For the
first time, the Union assured the public, this queen would be a
farmer's daughter. There were 35 contestants which attests to
the strength of the union as well as to the number of beauties in
the strawberry belt.
From Montpelier: Una Mae Grantham. She recalls that her
Mother had a white satin long dress made by a friend and the
event was held at the Casa de Fresa Hotel. She still remembers
how frightened she was to "walk across the stage".
Strawberries affected many activities. Schools closed early
to accomodate the strawberry farmer. Schools were in session
from July until late March so that the children could help with
the berry crop.
With the end of the berry season, the farmers turned their
attention to other crops to sustain his family until "next berry
season".
Strawberries continued to be grown in this area until the
late 1930's. The railroad ceased to be, and the coming of World
War II brought an end to the growing of strawberries. Farmers
began to grow snap beans for the market and to enter into dairy
farming. Today no strawberries are grown for the market here,
but a few have a small plot "to eat and to share".

NEW ORLEANS, NATALBANY & NATCHEZ RAILWAY COMPANY
(NON & N)
by
Clark Forrest, Jr.
November 11, 1980
Although the NON & N was a separate company, its principal
purpose was to provide the sawmill of the NATALBANY LUMBER
COMPANY, LIMITED, at Natalbany, Louisiana, with logs. Accord-
ing to Judge Leon Ford, III, an authority on local railroads,
it also enjoyed a large freight and passenger business. The
NON & N was incorporated on June 4, 1902, and domiciled at Nat-
albany. The list of incorporators, with the number of shares
of stock they held in the company, follows:
Caryl B. Young 15
Henry W. Dakin 15
Geo. H. Richey 15
N.R. Smith 2
Caryl Young 1
O.M. Dunn 1
Albert Baldwin 1
This charter is recorded in Mortgage Book No. 15, page 239,
of the Clerk of Court of Tangipahoa Parish.
On February 4, 1941, the directors voted to file notice
of their decision to dissolve the NON & N Railway Company. It
was officially dissolved by the Secretary of State on Sep-
tember 16, 1942.

The Alluvial Valley Map of the Lower Mississippi River

Mississippi, in 1935, shows the line extended from Grange-
ville to north of Slaughter. The stations shown on the
section from Grangeville to Slaughter are:
Bluff Creek
Sunbeam
Blairstown
Oaknolia
Judge Ford relates that the NON & N had extended its line
from Natalbany to the east bank of the Amite River at Grange-
ville by December, 1902. In 1929, the NON & N was extended
across the Amite to connect with the YAZOO & MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY RAILROAD (Y&MV) north of Baton Rouge near Slaughter.
Judge Ford states that the sawmill burned at Natalbany in 1938.
After which, the railroad was abandoned east of the Amite River.
