are counted in this county in No

Mrs. Aug. Schwab, SRI of Pilot
Knob, last Thursday afternoon
presented to the editor a box of
Strawberries and the fruit was
large, fully ripened and of excel

plants in her strawberry bed grew
fruit in October. They we're sep
arated from the other plants in the
garden, and next season set out to
themselves. Again they grew
October berries, and this year the
same result is obtained. The REG
lister wishes Mrs. s. and August,
ST., success in all things.
