STRAWBERRIES.
(By e. H. Hallett. Lecturer State Grange,
ST. Johnsbury)
In the growing OF strawberries soil and
location are first considered. Land that
has carried the previous year some good
crop is preferred Strawberries should
not be set on sod land because Of the
white grub. Slope is quite important,
southwest slope being preferable to any
other thus avoiding say two hours Of
the forenoon sun. An application of 20
loads Of stable manure per acre Is
sufficient and the land should be well
plowed thoroughly narrowed and fined

COLD STORAGE FOODS.

Discoveries that are being made
show that the cold storage law which
was passed at this years session of
the New York legislature and
promptly signed by Governor Dix
was enacted none too soon.
In addition to limiting the time
in which food may be kept in cold
storage the law provides that food
once exposed for sale shall not be re-
stored and that all storage food must
be labeled with the date of its re-
ceipt in storage and Of its delivery
therefrom, and when sold be repre-
sented as cold storage products.
This last provision is particularly
important, as it protects the people
from imposition by unscrupulous
dealers in selling as fresh foods
that are really storage stuff.
An examination of the cold storage
warehouses in New York city shows
that the extent of this industry is far
greater than was ever imagined, and
the public can scarcely conceive OF
the immense quantities of goods
leld in storage. In twelve storage
houses alone visited by the inspec.
tors there were found to be more
than 100000 pounds of poultry
and meat; 100000 pounds of fish;
100000 pounds of cheese; 6,OOO,,
600 pounds of butter, and 100000
cases of eggs.
Prosecution of the offenders viii
soon be begun.

THE CORsETLEss FIGURE.

According to a fashion mentor
from gay Paris now attending what
is termed the made in st. Louis
show, a display of fashionable gar
ments given daily in that city by a
dozen beautiful professional models,
women to be strictly in fashion the
coming Winter and in fact next
Spring and Summer must look-nO,
not like the dickens, but what to
many masculine minds is equivalent
the Venus de Milo. Venus, of
course, didn't wear corsets nor rats,
and neither will the women who wish
to be known as really up to date,
don't you know. The curves and sill
ly little mincing steps which accom-
pany the tight skirts of the present
fashion will be completely and abso-
lutely old Style--and for that, at
least, praises be! Whether or not
the corsetless natural figure will be-
come an established fashion cannot
be said. Time alone can tell, but at
the worst it can never be any uglier
than some of the effects popular with
the ultra stylish women Of today.

THE COUNTRY PRESS VETO.

The Campbell County News, one of
our excellent contemporaries which
has long worshipped at the Smith
shrine and seemingly believed "the
king could do no wrong" INDUCES
in the following caustic comment:
When Hoke Smith says that
free passes" were abolished in
Georgia several years ago he is
either ignorant of the true condi-
tons or deliberately misrepresents
the facts. The fact is, passes are
dished out about as prOmiscuously
now as ever, and only the newspa-
papers have been singled out and
denied the right to exchange ad-
vertising space for railroad trans
pOrtatiOn. We wrote the governor
a scorching letter last night that
will show him that he has ignor-
antly or willfully done the press
of the state a grave injustice.
The News has no crow to pick with
Governor Smith on account of his
veto of the bill to allow the
railroads and newspapers to ex-
change transportation and advertis-
ing. 1t is a matter that concerns
us very little one way or the other,
as we are too busy to spend much
time on the railroads and are per-
fectly willing to pay in cash for the
little riding we do. The executive's
action, it is true, seems to abrogate
the intrinsic natural right to barter
and from the standpoint of principle
is the same thing it would be to say
to the farmer that he shall not ex-
change eggs for groceries and dry
goods. Yet, it is we'll known that the
governor has long been opposed to
anything that smacks of free passes,
and to say the least of it he could not
have done otherwise and been con-
sistent
But the statement of our Campbell
county contemporary that free passes
are being dished out promiscuously
is interesting, and it is to be hoped
that nothing will occur to keep it
from making good it's threat to show
the matter up. Let us have a list
of the favored ones.

Dm THEIR WORST.

Tho Far1v County News has no.
ticed it, too, and says:
The new Third district is a reg
ular shoe string affair. neI
vour map and trace the dlstTlcJ
from Ben Hill on the rlsnl 70
Clay on the left.
The editor of this paper has been
told by members of the legislature
that the district was formed in the
interest of two citizens of the old
Third district who have COMPRESSION
al aspirations. Which, if either, OF
these reports is correct we do not
know. but it is certain that disap-
pointment is in store for one and
very likely both of these ambitious
gentlemen. The people of this dis
trict are going to elect the congress
man regardless of political fixers and
legislative gerrymander.
The redistricting of the state was
made a botch Of in several ways. Not
only was symmetry disregarded, but
population was little considered, the
lumber of people in the various dis
Iricts ranging from 100000 to ESQ.,
600. Another flaw in this ridiculous
reapportionment mess is that Put
nam county, in middle Georgia and
which was intended to remain in the
Eighth district, finds itself in the
Seventh district, which is composed
of counties in the northwestern part
of the state miles away. Many
other blunders appear in the act in
spelling the names of some of the
counties. Plain old-fashioned Muir
ray county has become ''Murey. ="
Dooly is christened "Dealy." The
third ST. in Tattnall is cut as super
fuous, the "wether" part Of Meri-
wether has acquired an "a" Lump
kin, a distinguished Georgia name,
appears without ''p." The county
that bears the name of the famous
Polish count who served in the revo-
luton has become Pulaski.
The bill will have to go back to
the lawmakers at their next session
for the correction of errors, and that
it will meet with some changes is al
most certain. A year will have
elapsed, and lot of people can de-
eide in that time that they don't like
the new congressional alignments.

THE COTTON CROP.
The Moultrie Observer says in its
current issue:

The Moultrie Observer says in its
current issue:
Commissioner Tom Hudson is
doing all he can to offset the re-
port that has become current that
the cotton crop is an enormously
large one this year. He has in
formation that cOnvinces him that
there has been a great slump in
the condition Of cotton since the
last government figures we're be-
ing obtained.
The deterioration of the cotton
crop is a matter of common knowl-
edge, and the information the COM
missioner is said to be in possession
of is no news at all.
Until few weeks ago the pros
poets for a record-breaking crop in
this section were the best ever
known, but since then drouth and
hot weather have done almost I'M
precedented damage and cut the
yield from twenty-five to fifty per
cent.
A great change has taken place
in the condition of the cotton crop,
and fields that in the middle of July
looked like they might make a bale
to the acre now give promise of only
half bale, or less, to the acre. The
speculative interests that are desir-
Gus of bearing the market now per-
sist in pointing to the July reports
instead of the August reports as in
dicating the real condition of the
crop, but nobody who has made any
effort to ascertain the truth will be
deceived by them.

THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAW.

Editor Dawson News: l notice
with great deal of pleasure the
forceful, eloquent editorial appeals
made recently for the enforcement
of the new game law for the protec-
ton of every bird or beast of any
value, and this law will be enforced
about as we'll as any law. The edi-
tors of our country have it in their
power to persuade people to keep the
laws. l beg, therefore, that they
make as earnest appeal for the law
enacted for the protection of our
boys as they have for the birds and
beasts, and the results will be far
reaching. W.P. H.

THE PEOPLE ARE CALLING.

The Albany Herald is certain that
Governor Brown is going to be a
candidate. 1t has seen
'unmistakable signs of a sort of
tacit understanding-not between
Smith and Brown, but between
some of their friends-that Lit
tie Joe would be put back into
the office of chief executive"
The Herald means that the people,
irrespective of past factionalism, are
going to make the quiet, fearless
little man who grew so in their con-
ttdence and esteem while holding
that office governor again. 1t is a
fact that Governor Brown has lost
none of his own following, while a
great many Of those who opposed him
are now anxious to give him their
votes. Many of the latter (among
them some here in Terrell county
who earnestly and aggressively
fought him in two memorable cam
paigns) are urging him to get in the
race, and if he runs he will sweep
the field, His election would wine
out the Smith and Brown factions.
and put an end to political strife in
Georgia.

ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE BoTCH

Not only was botch made Of the
congressional redistricting law, but
the new game law was also slaugh-
tered by the pen wielders of the leg
islature. The section that was in
tended to prohibit the killing of tur-
key hens, pheasants, grouse and some
other kinds of game for a period of
five years was reversed. The bill
should have said that they must not
be killed prior to December 1, 1916"
The law really says from December
l, 1916" which means that their
slaughter will go on.

Terrell and other counties from the
Second and puts them in the Third

with the former. The Dawson News

amen of those who have become afil-
lated with the new district.
