STRAWBERRY CULTURE.
Any Good Orchard Land Will Do, Says
3. o. Lonsyear.

Any land nearly level or with a gen.
tie slope which is adapted to other or
chard crops can be used for strawber-
ries. Such land may cost from $25 to
$500 or more per acre, If improved, de-
pending largely upon its location. In
fact, land valued at 81 900 per acre Is
being used for this purpose in some
places. An acre of strawberries in a
favorable season and on suitable land
may yield from 200 to 500 crates per
acre, and as high as 800 crates have
been taken from this area in a single
season. An average price per crate is
not far from 50, although in seasons
Of scarcity the grower may receive as
high as $3.50.
The estimated cost Of growing an
acre of Strawberries, commercially, is
about 500 to $125. Some growers
consider that in ordinarily good years
about one-half of the returns is profit.
Well managed plantations commonly
bring $500 an acre for the crop, and
this Is often exceeded under especially
good care. With the exception Of har.
vesting one man can tend about five
acres of strawberries.
In estimating the cost and profits
in this business it must be remember
ed that the first crop cannot be har-
vested until the second from setting
After this annual crops may be gath
cred as long as the plant continues
productive, from two to four years on
good land. After taking of the last
crop the plants are turned and some
late forage or truck crop is planted, so
that the land does not lie idle, during
the remainder of the season..
During the past few seasons straw
berry growing has received consider.

dry winters. But as this is a matter

The fifth and last number of en-
tertainments as scheduled by the
Midland Lyooum Bureau, of Des
Moines, Iowa, for Boomers Ferry,
closed its contract with the League
at this place, by an able address
rendered by Lucian Edgar Follans-
bee, on the evening of March 81.
Mr.. Follansbee took for his subject
Science and Gumption." which
was rendered in fluent style.
This was one, il not the best
number, of the entire course OF
entertainment series sent to this
place by the bureau this season.
It's entire theme was one grand
appeal to the young as well as the
old. for the use OF their mental
powers, at all time for the better
ment Of all humanity. AS an ILL.,
ustrator Mr.. Follansbee has few
equals. His delivery was all
which could be desired, backed by
a character expression in every
line Of his speech in sympathy
with struggling mankind.
The League is very grateful for
the excellent support extended it
throughout the entire season by
the people Of this place and sur
rounding country, and takes this
opportunity to thank al for such
generous support. From a fnan-
cial standpoint in accordance with
tho bureau, the League fell short
two dollars and twenty-five cents,
which John Snyder donated at
once from bis personal money.

AMONG the revenue raising bills which
are said to be in contemplation are sew
eral which will affect stocks and bonds,
the idea in the bills being to reach those
lines which are only partially taxed or
exempt. In addition to the proposed
tax on manufacturing companies and the
changes of taxes on trust companies it
is proposedto require bonus to be paid
on bonds, the same as bonus is re-
quired on stock of corporation granted
charters. This bonus on stock is one
third of one per cent. The bond tax
may be made the same. 1twould yield
a large return to the State every year,
as many corporations take out nominal
capital stock in their charter applications
and then issue bonds.

Prof. Will S. Monroe.
Educator, Author, Lecturer and
Teacher, but not a HonesdaIer.

EDITOR OF THE CITIZEN:
l note your quoting last week the
Wilkes-Barre dispatch to the New York
World telling of Professor Will S. Mon
roe's escape from the earthquake in
Sicily, and your editorial note that no
one Of the name of Monroe appears in
the Honesdale directory.
Allow me to say that cannot imagine
how the person sending that dispatch
could have been so ignorant of the resi-
dence of the well-known educator, auth
or, and institute lecturer, who for years
was supervisor of the schools at Kings
ton, Luzerne county, across the river
from Wilkes-Barre itself; and whose
career ever since-at Stanford University,
California, then as post graduate stu
dent at German Universities, followed
by his professorship at the Westfeld,
Mass, State Normal School for years,
has been kept actively in mind in the
Wyoming Valley by his frequent return
to Wilkes-Barre and Scranton as lecturer
before the City Teachers Institutes. He
was in Wilkes-Barre in that capacity
last September as, in 1907 he had been
there, and in Scranton and Allentown.
The dispatch to the World speaks of
"Prof. w. S. Monroe and family" by
which token we inferred that his sister,
Miss Kate Monroe, who has been in
Southern France since June, 1907, had
Joined him for the Sicilian trip as Mr..
Monroe has never married, this is the
only explanation.
Finally, am glad to add that am
this morning in receipt OF a postal card
from Mr.. Monroe, mailed at Palermo,
three days after the earthqu AXE, in which
he writes "These are sorrowful times
for the island, II came near being in
the worst of it. AS it was, was badly
shaken up. return TO Montclair,
N. j., in February"
The last sentence refers to the fact
that, before going abroad, he had re-
signed his position at Westfield TO accept
one at the new Montclair Normal School
which New Jersey claims is to be the
finest in the country. Yours very truly.

On TUESDAY last, Jan. 10Th, United
States Senator Boies Penrose was elected
for his third term. He is the thirty
fifth individual selected to represent this
State in the upper house of Congress.
There have been more elections for this
Office than thirty-five of course, but
only thirty-five men have been commits
stoned from Pennsylvania. He has cora
pleted twelve years of service and is
now chosen for a six-year term. j.
Donald Cameron, whom the Senator
succeeded, was Senator for twenty
years, holding the record for continuous
service from this State. His father,
General Simon Cameron, served almost
as long, but his terms were broken. So
were those of the late Senator Quay,
who had about fourteen years to his
credit. Among the Pennsylvania Sen
ators who went higher we're President
James Buchanan, Vice1President Geo.
M. Dallas, Secretary of the Treasury
Albert Gallatin and Secretaries of War
Simon Cameron and ]. Donald Gamer
on. James Ross, VIM. Bingham and
Andrew Gregg were presidents pro tenn.
of the Senate. Philander G. Knox will
be the second Pennsylvania Senator to
be Secretary of State, Mr.. Buchanan
having been the first. In 1861 Simon
Cameron resigned his position as United
States Senator to become Secretary of
War under President Lincoln and, later,
Minister to Russia. In 1868 he was a
candidate for reelection to the U. S.
Senate bis opponent being Charles R.
Buckalew, Of Columbia county. At that
time Hon. William M. Nelson, of Equi-
nunk, represented Wayne county in the
lower branch of the Legislature, and as
the Democrats had a majority OF one on
joint ballot, strong effort was made
and large sums of money offered to in
duce him to give his vote to Cameron,
against the Democratic candidate. Aside
from the personal temptation to profit
by his opportunity, there were other
reasons, involving the financial welfare
of near relative, which it was thought
might serve toswerve him from the path
of duty; but it was exploited to his
credit then, andl is regarded as one
OF the most praiseworthy events in hil
public career now, that he stood firmly
by his party and gave his casting vote
for It's candidate.
