The strawberry is not as easy to

says the American Gardening. Weeds
and grass are more rampant under
southern suns than in cooler regions
requiring more cultivation. There are
fewer varieties that succeed at the
south. Indeed the strawberry is an ex-
otto on the alluvlal lands OF the far
south. Its natural home is amid the
hills OF the central part of the coun-

and altogether too much of 1t, then in
sects multitudious and blight world
without end 1t has been getting
worse every year now for a dozen
years.
The secret of the present condition
of affairs is to be found in two things
the lack of humus in the soil and the
destruction of the birds. There is no

Their contest with the evils that threat
en- so long as we pursue the policy that
has controlled us for these many years.
There is only one single chance for us
and until we recognize this to be n
fact we cannot expect conditions to be
improved. This whole south country
must go into stock raising. Lands
that are now growing cotton and corn
must be given up to grass and clover
| and we must supply the stock to con-
sumo 1t. We must have good pastures
| and good meadows where cotton fields
have only been seen heretofore.
For many years now we have been
killing grass, killing it in season and
| out. We have got to stop this double
| edge sword act of cutting both ways
| against true prosperity. This destruc-
| ton of ten dollars worth of grass to
make five dollars worth of cheap cot
| ton will not pay. Such a policy prac-
| ticed for many years has nearly ruined
us. Why cannot we people see it!
Here we are in the South Atlantic
| States, with the greatest grass the
world has ever known and the most
| favorable climatic conditions to be
| found anywhere in the world, and yet
| in our infatuation still holding to cot

acre in growing it, while the same land

can in extremity get along very well
without cotton. but we cannot do at
all without beef and milk and butter.
