THE SMALL FRUIT SUPPLY.
Very Few Farms Have Enough to Keep
Home Tables Filled.

Very few farms are supplied with
| half enough small fruit. In the way OF
strawberries have had all we could
use for many years, but it is accom-.
plished by setting out new patch each
alternate spring. says a correspondent
Of Orange Judd Farmer.
Two hundred or 300 plants will be
enough to set a. bed that will supply
twice as many berries needed by the
largest family. always set that many
because they ripen in busy time and
then we can get them picked on shares
and have plenty for our own use. Some
one not so fortunately situated has
enough by picking ours, and it costs
peither of us all outlay of cash. raise
the berries. the other fellow gathers

some purposes, and almost every farm

that will grow in most localities. AS
local conditions have much to do with
the problem. it is best TO consult your
nearest nurseryman. Put out some
white ones. some of the red ones, both
early and late. but do not fool with the
tender sorts. Busy farmers do not
have the time nor inclination to lay
down the vines and cover them with
dirt, as some do in order to fruit the
tender sorts.

Orchard and Garden.

The quickest growing tree for a
shelter belt Is the willow.
Strawy. stalky manure makes an
ideal mulehing fertilizer for both young
and old apple trees. A great many are
literally dying from starvation. This
coarse manure will conserve moisture
and fertility.
While sandy soils are probably good
for strawberries. any soil not too rich
will bring good results. The land

Women of Savannah
Plan League to Solve
The Servant Problem
Only Good Negroes Will Be Al
lowed to Register-None But
These Will Be Hired.

SAVANNAH, GA, Sept l0.-At a
meeting a the armory September Is
to organize the Housekeepers Protec-
tive league. it is probable there viii
be present not only a majority of the
housekeepers of Savannah but a num-
Der from other Georgia cities.
Since the announcement of the fact
that local housekeepers have decided to
inaugurate an active campaign for an
adjustment of the Servant problem
interest in the project has spread with
remarkable tapidity. Among those who
have written commencing the scheme
are a number of south Georgia house
keepers.
1t is the purpose Of those back of the
movement to have all the housekeep-
ers of Savannah join in a protective
association and establish central en-
ployment bureau, under the supervision
of the league, with an experienced man
ager in charge. All the good servants
will be registered at this bureau. TIE
members of the league will be pledged
to employ no servants who are not SO
registered. The fact that worthless ne
groes could no longer obtain employ
ment would be calculated to have dis
tinct beneficial effect upon the race.
