REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING.

In line with his policy to use the
machinery of the Department Of
Agriculture to help lower the cost Of
living. Secretary Wilson thinks the
lands near the large cities should he
used so that their markets for food
stuffs could be supplied with home
grown products. Only recently Is
900 tons Of potatoes cache New
York from Scotland for New York
city Within an hours
ride of the greater city there is
enough uncuitivated land to produce
many times h amount Of this cargo
OF potatoes. if only properly cult
waited.
This applies not only to the pota-
to crop but to nearly all the trucking
crops. And. too. this situation does
not affect New ork alone, but every
city and community from Maine to
Texas, and the West and Middle
West. but. indeed, almost the entire
Washington is a fair example Of
the argument. There are thousands
! Of acres Of cheap lands in nearby
Maryland and Virginia that would
supply the Washington market with
all the potatoes. cabbage and other
truck crops it Would consume. In
stead. most Of the supply OF these

cost than would be the case if they
were produced in contiguous terri
tory. The important fact in regard
to this is that these lands in Mary
land and Virginia al be bought
cheap and put in condition for cul-
tVation at a nominal outlay.
In the South our reports show thai
most OF the potatoes. cabbage, eggs

from a distance. One OF our agents

The strawberry is probably the most
widely grown fruit in the world. There
are varieties adapted to almost every
climate and condition, from Alaska
TO FLORIDA. Our cultivated kinds have
been developed from the Chilian
strawberry and the wild
strawberry. The Alpine stray berry Of
Europe is the parent of the ever-bear-
ing varieties which are now coming
into prominence in some places. They
however, are not as Yet Of sufficient
value to deserve much attention.. The
strawberry is one Of the first fruits
on the market in the spring, and
hence is always welcome.
The best time to set a strawberry
bed is n early spring. as soon as the
land is in good condition and the
plants can be obtained. There is more
moisture as a rule at that time, and
this. combined with the cool weather
of spring. gives better growing condi-
tons than August planting. Plants
may also be set out in the fall. il ex-
ira attention and care are given them.
1T does not pay to set the plants in
dry soil or in a dry season, unless
plenty of water for irrigation
is available.
Any lane that will grow a good crol
or corn will grow strawberries. Soc
