beds Of different ages, and some Of
them are likely to produce a good crop.
There is always enough plants to set
a new bed, If this plan is used A bed
can be kept in bearing several years,
but usually it is not. The plants are
allowed to get too thick or weeds take
the patch. An old bed should be hoed
Immediately after fruitlng; and If the
row plan is used, the row should be
narrowed to six inches or foot. The
plants In the rows should be thinned,
so not too many plants will be left
even in narrow rows. Turn over and
pulverize the soil between the rows.
The condition of the soil must deter

piled. Too much manure will produce
an excess of stalks and little fruit. II
the soil lacks fertility, plenty of it.
there Will not be enough stalks to pro-

A Sea ParadoP

The following appears in print today by

1T is expected that official invitations

commanded by Prince Henry of Prussia"
This would be an admirable feature in
connection with our great show. and one
that would add greatly to International in

from the knowledge that it is necessary to
keep a keen eye on the road and nrm
grip on the levers every instant lest disas-
ter follow is probably half the sport OF
operating one Of these high-speed ma
chimes.
Citizens are forbidden to carry firearms.
because of the possibility that without this
regulation Tom, Dick and Harry will arm
themselves and the reckless ones will shoot
without excuse and infiict injury or death.
II all citizens were careful and conserva-
tive and certain to use arms only with am
pie warrant there would be no reason for
limiting this right of going armed. But IL
50 happens that many men are reckless
and their folly operates to restrict the
rights of all others. So the folly of the
speed-crazed automobilists limits the privl-
leges of all others, in order that the risk
to the public safety may be reduced to
minimum.
1t behooves the conservative advocates
of the automobile to cooperate sincerely
with the authorities and the public to give
full force to the regulations and laws which
are dictated by common sense and the re-
quirements of safety. Such harmony Will
prove good investment, advancing the
day when the reckless chauffeurs will be
weeded out and the sport brought to It's
proper place in city life. Defiance of the
law, contempt for it's officers and DISPOSE
ton to keep the nerves of pedestrians and
drivers constantly edge without actually
hurting anybody, will only serve to inten-
sify public hatred for this device and to re-
tard It's advance in legitimate use.
