GRAND HAVEN, Mich, April 2s.-Ray-
mond Coates and Mrs. Enos Lawrence
have made full confession to Sheriff
Keppel of the part they took In tho brutal
murder of En- ~ w. Lawrence ct Holland
several weeks ugo. The murder occurred
on the night Of Sunday, April 3. The
woman's story varies little from that Of
Coates and in substance Is as follows:
On the night of the murder she and her
husband quarreled. Lawrence slept on
lounge In the kitchen. Mrs. Lawrence
slept In the downstairs bedroom. Ac-
cording to her confession Coates came to
her room late In the night after all
had retired and said that he was going to
kill Lawrence. She remained in her room
while the murder was being committed.
She offers no excuse for not interior
ing. She admits that she and Coates
arc full brother and sister and were mar
ried to cover up the crime II possible.
Coates claims that he killed Lawrence
in self.defense. Husband and wife were
quarreling, he interferred and Lawrence
threatened to kill him. Coates then pro-
cured Ratchet and Drained Lawrence.
The woman's story, however, is believed
to be the correct one.

The Strawberry ropagating Beds.

We often read that such variety
of strawberry has run out, meaning
that it has become worthless. Where
this is the case, it is because the plain
rules, known to every true horticul-
turist, with regard to the nature, the
habits and cultivation of the plant
have been violated. The facts are
that with proper management no va
riety will run out or deteriorate in
value, no matter how long cultivated,
but will grow better. Wilson's AL
bany or the Crescent, for example,
where they have been handled right
are today just as good or better than
they were years ago when first intro
duced.
Growing plants for setting fruit
beds is a peculiar and distinct de-
partment of horticultural science.
The object is not to grow fruit but
strong, vigorous, healthy plants to be
used in setting fruit beds. In grow
ing Strawberries there are two dis
tinct departments; in one you grow
plants only, in the other you grow
fruit only.
The size of the propagating beds
depends on the number of plants you
wish to grow. The rows are four feet
apart and the plants three feet in the
row. Take pains to get good, strong
plants that are true to name to start
with, if you have to pay a big price
for them. The first year cut off all
blossoms as fast as they appear and
give the highest cultivation possible
as is usually recommended for straw
berries.
The second year in the spring take
up what plants you want for setting
a new fruit bed but dig everything
clean asyou go, thus leavinga portion
of the propagating bed undisturbed.
Take some of the very best plants
you can find and set out to extend
your propagating bed. When fruit
stems appear cut them all off as be-
fore, except on that part of the prop
agating bed left undisturbed, here
leave two blossoms on each plant
that will bear inspection. I mean
that when the flowers are opened the
stamens and pistils of perfect flower
ing kinds are carefully examined and
all plants not showing proper devel-
opment are hoed up and thrown
away. In pistillate varieties choose
those plants which are destitute OF
stamens and destroy the rest.
When the berries are ripe on the
| plants that have passed inspection
| give them another careful examina.
ton to determine which plants show
the greatest number of points of ex
cellence in the fruit, as to color, shape
| and, in fact, an ideal berry of that
special variety. Mark those plants
that are the nearest to perfection
and dig up all the rest.
This course of treatment contin-
ued from year to year will produce
plants of the highest degree of fruit
ing power, and is the method employ
ed by those fruit growers who meet
with the highest and continued sue
